Background And Objective: This study aims to evaluate clinical and radiological findings and treatment outcomes of the patients with PIBO.
Methods: One hundred fourteen children were enrolled. Initial demographic and clinical findings were evaluated. Pre- and post-treatment clinical and radiological findings were compared.
Results: The median age of the patients at initial pulmonary injury was 7,2 months, the median age at diagnosis was 17.5 months. Persistent wheezing was the most common complaint. Thirty-five patients had mechanical ventilation history. 82,5% of patients had clinical improvement. Bronchiectasis, atelectasis, hyperinflation and air trapping in HRCT improved significantly with treatment. Post-treatment Bhalla scores decreased from 8.3 to 6.5 (p= 0,001). Improvement was observed in radiological and clinical findings after treatment.
Conclusions: This study is one of the largest studies in the literature and one of the few studies that evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with PIBO.

Importance: Obesity, a chronic disease with escalating global prevalence, poses considerable health risks. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), including liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, have demonstrated efficacy for weight loss in clinical trials. The paradigm shift in the approach to obesity management drugs (OMDs) may offer an opportunity to examine online search activity and prescription trends.

For noninvasive light-based physiological monitoring, optimal wavelengths of individual tissue components can be identified using absorption spectroscopy. However, because of the lack of sensitivity of hardware at longer wavelengths, absorption spectroscopy has typically been applied for wavelengths in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) range from 400 to 1,000 nm. Hardware advancements in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range have enabled investigators to explore wavelengths in the ~1,000 nm to 3,000 nm range in which fall characteristic absorption peaks for lipid, protein, and water.

Background: Classifying uterine fibroid using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification system assists treatment decision-making and planning. This study aimed to study whether different fibroid locations influence clinical outcomes following uterine artery embolization (UAE).
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent UAE for symptomatic uterine fibroid between December 2016 and January 2023 at our hospital.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis assessing the diagnostic performance of the node reporting and data system (Node-RADS) for detecting lymph node (LN) invasion.
Method: We performed a systematic literature search of online scientific publication databases from inception up to July 31, 2024. We used the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2 (QUADAS-2) to assess the study quality, and heterogeneity was determined by the Q-test and measured with I statistics.

Department of Radiology, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Objectives: To analyze the CT imaging features of extranodal natural killer/T (NK/T)-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL-NT) involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI), and to compare them with those of Crohn's disease (CD) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Materials And Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 17 patients diagnosed with GI ENKTCL-NT, 68 patients with CD, and 47 patients with DLBCL. The CT findings of ENKTCL-NT were analyzed and compared with those of CD and DLBCL.
