AI Article Synopsis
- A primigravid woman at 22 weeks of gestation had a sonogram showing a hyperechogenic lesion in the right fetal lung, indicating a possible congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) with a lesion-to-lung ratio over 90%.
- The microcystic pattern was somewhat evident in MRI scans, and a fetopsy later confirmed the diagnosis as a pure microcystic CPAM after the pregnancy termination.
- The text suggests conducting a controlled study to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound versus MRI in diagnosing and monitoring fetal lung malformations.
Article Abstract
Sonographic scan revealed a homogenously hyperechogenic lesion in the right fetal lung with microcystic pattern by a primigravid women at 22nd weeks of gestation. A large congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) was suspected with a lesion-to-lung ratio over 90%. The microcystic image of this thoracic anomaly was moderately visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at that early stage of the pregnancy. Fetopsy confirmed the diagnosis as a pure microcystic CPAM following termination of pregnancy. A controlled prospective study could be performed to compare ultrasound as a diagnostic modality to the MRI, focusing on volumetry, signal characteristics, and follow-up/regression of fetal pulmonary malformations.

Cellulite is an aesthetically distressing skin condition occurring in 80-90% of females and manifesting as dimples and depressions, producing an uneven surface to the skin. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of combined oral consumption of two dietary supplements based on chokeberry and tart cherry juices over a period of 32 days on cellulite reduction. Twenty women aged 21-49 with a cellulite grade of 1-2 according to the Nurnberger-Muller scale were participating in the study.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported to exhibit altered local functional consistency. However, previous studies mainly focused on male samples and explored the temporal consistency in the ASD brain ignoring the spatial consistency. In this study, FOur-dimensional Consistency of local neural Activities (FOCA) analysis was used to investigate the sex differences of local spatiotemporal consistency of spontaneous brain activity in ASD.

Ejection fraction is commonly used to assess Duchenne muscular dystrophy-associated cardiomyopathy (DMDAC), but it may remain normal (wrongly) despite significant myocardial dysfunction in patients. Therefore, better indicators of myocardial dysfunction are needed for longitudinal (with time) assessment and treatment of DMDAC patients. This study evaluates non-invasive LV PV loop-derived elastance, contractility and efficiency in relation to EF for patients developing DMDAC.

Objective: Study of neuroimaging changes according to MRI morphometry and their comparison with the structure and severity of cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Material And Methods: The study involved 90 patients who were divided into two equal groups of 45 people and who early had diagnosis of AD (group 1; median age - 71 [66; 77] years) and POAG (group 2; median age - 68 [64; 77] years). 71] years).

Cerebrovascular diseases themselves are the second most common cause of cognitive impairment (dementia). In addition, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) makes a significant contribution to the clinical picture of neurodegenerative diseases. Since there are currently no pharmacological treatments for CSVD, a promising method is the activation of the endogenous mechanisms of sanogenesis.
