The polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disease, therefore clinical features are not referred just to the affected person, but also to the other members of the family. On the other hand, the disease causes systemic involvement and it requires the contribution of different specialists such as nephrologist, geneticist, radiologist and others. Therefore, the establishment of outpatient clinics, in which a multidisciplinary team assesses the clinical features of patients belonging to the same family, is recommended.

Assessment of the Accuracy of Ultrasonographically Measured Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter as a Surrogate for the Detection of Intracranial Hypertension Compared to Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measured by MRI: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been proposed as a non-invasive, bedside method to detect raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in various clinical settings. We aimed to correlate the ONSD obtained by ultrasonography (USG) with the ONSD obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to find its measurement accuracy.
Methodology: A prospective double-blind study was carried out by performing ocular ultrasounds on 32 patients with clinical features of intracranial hypertension.
Rates and Predictors of Malignancy in Bethesda III and IV Thyroid Nodules: A Prospective Study.

Aim: Thyroid nodules, based on high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS), are among the most common endocrine abnormalities that affect the general population because of their high estimated prevalence rates. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a safe, cost-effective modality to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules based on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC), thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. However, categories III and IV of BSRTC remain a controversial issue in clinical practice, encompassing a wide range of risks of malignancy.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a precursor lesion to biliary tract carcinoma. It is characterised by papillary growth within the bile ducts. The diagnosis and management of IPNB are challenging due to its varying presentations and overlapping features with other biliary diseases.

This article reports a rare case of esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma (ESGDA). The patient was found to have this tumor after undergoing endoscopy in an outpatient clinic due to occasional tingling while eating. White light endoscopy revealed the tumor as a dumbbell-shaped bulge, and ultrasound endoscopy revealed it as a hypoechoic mass located in the submucosal layer.

Background: Mucin family members have been reported to be widely expressed in gastric carcinoma with diverse functions. Several important mucins exert the function of tumorigenesis or progression in gastric cancer (GC). Here, we conduct this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between mucin expression and clinicopathological features in GC.
