Objectives: To evaluate signal enhancement ratio (SER) for tissue characterization and prognosis stratification in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with quantitative histopathological analysis (QHA) as the reference standard.
Methods: This retrospective study included 277 PDAC patients who underwent multi-phase contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI and whole-slide imaging (WSI) from three centers (2015-2021). SER is defined as (SI - SI)/(SI - SI), where SI, SI and SI represent the signal intensity of the tumor in pre-contrast, early-, and late post-contrast images, respectively.

Background: Posterior stabilization surgery is considered the gold standard for restoring spine stability in patients with traumatic thoracolumbar fractures. However, whether long-segment (LS) stabilization or short-segment (SS) stabilization is an optimal approach for achieving more effective restoration of spinal stability remains unclear.
Material And Methods: Patients who underwent posterior stabilization surgery for traumatic thoracolumbar fractures were included in the study.

Background: Linear scleroderma is an autoimmune connective disorder characterized by a saber-shaped facial deformity. The superficial circumflex iliac artery/superficial inferior epigastric artery (SCIA/SIEA) adipofascial flap is versatile for facial reconstruction, providing excellent aesthetic outcomes and minimal donor-site morbidity. Thus, this study aimed to share our experience of successfully treating linear scleroderma using single-stage SCIA/SIEA adipofascial flap microsurgery transplantation.

Study Design: Retrospective review.
Objectives: Spinal intradural extramedullary abscess (SIEA) is a rare disease with an unknown incidence. In this study, we systematically described the clinical course of SIEA in a large cohort with acute onset of neurological illness, assessed the morbidity and mortality rates, and determined the potential risk factors for mortality.
