This guide was designed to provide a foundation for developing paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs) for conventional radiography. In principle, the calculation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is recommended for diagnostic x-ray imaging examinations for radiosensitive patients, such as paediatric patients. PiDRLs are fundamentally important when considering dose optimisation in diagnostic radiology, computed tomography and interventional radiology for paediatric patients. DRLs can assist to point to non-optimised practices and the improvement of paediatric dose optimisation. The purpose of this continuing medical education article is to give medical radiation professionals an overview of PiDRLs for conventional radiography, an understanding of the benefits, the data collection process and some of the calculation methods. The readers can use these steps to establish and implement PiDRLs for different examinations.

Recent advances in nanoultrasonography for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
Nanomedicine (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Ultrasound, Yantaishan Hospital, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai, Shandong, China.
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanoultrasonography has emerged as a promising medical imaging technique that demonstrates significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. This review discusses the applications of nanoultrasonography in the gastrointestinal field, including improvements in imaging resolution, diagnostic accuracy, latest research findings, and prospects for clinical application. By analyzing existing literature, we explore the role of nanoultrasonography in enhancing imaging resolution, enabling targeted drug delivery, and improving therapeutic outcomes, thereby providing a reference for future research directions.

This paper discusses the current literature surrounding the potential use of artificial intelligence and machine learning models in the diagnosis of acute obvious and occult scaphoid fractures. Current studies have notable methodological flaws and are at high risk of bias, precluding meaningful comparisons with clinician performance (the current reference standard). Specific areas should be addressed in future studies to help advance the meaningful and clinical use of artificial intelligence for radiograph interpretation.

Pediatrics, Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo Dei Tintori, Monza, Italy.
Objectives: Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare congenital non-progressive rhombencephalic disorder mostly characterised by abducens and facial nerve palsy, but with a multifaceted clinical presentation. Isolated or multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies in the setting of MS have been occasionally reported, but the simultaneous involvement of three or more hypothalamic-pituitary axes has never been described. We hereby report the case of a girl with MS that showed a co-occurrence of GH-, TSH- and ACTH-deficiency.

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and continues to be a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In recent years, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as a significant focus in molecular biology research, playing a pivotal role in the development and progression of PC. This study employed bibliometric analysis to explore the global outputs, research hotspots, and future trends in ncRNA-related PC research over the past 20 years.

Background: Sweet's syndrome (SS) or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is a dermatological illness that can be described by tender erythematous plaques or nodules and acute onset fever. The etiology is multifactorial and is not fully understood. SS is separated in three subclasses: classical, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced.
