Objective: By establishing routine image interpretation presentation in the Radiology Department of Mzuzu Central Hospital (MCH), radiographers can conduct technical analysis and quality control of DR, CT among other medical imaging techniques used in clinical practice, which can effectively improve the overall level of radiographers.
Methods: Formulate the general principles of radiographer image interpretation for the Radiology Department: (1) Select typical cases and special cases to analyze the examination methods and image standard interpretation; (2) Select cases that individuals have done relatively satisfactory or unsatisfactory, or even failed to analyze the lessons learned; (3) Select normal cases to identify important imaging anatomy and describe imaging manifestations, so as to improve the basic knowledge level of imaging diagnosis and the ability to interpret images. Secondly, establish an imaging technology reading system under the perspective of new media, and extend it to real-time discussion of technical issues in an online chat group.
Results: (1) Through image interpretation, the overall quality of radiographers have been significantly improved; (2) Through continuous learning of the imaging manifestations of typical cases, the level of imaging diagnosis can be effectively improved; (3) Find out the causes of some failed examinations, put forward rectification suggestions, and avoid mistakes again; (4) Special patients and special patients formulate personalized plans based on common practical experience to quickly complete the examination.
Conclusion: By establishing routine image interpretation presentations for radiographers and incorporating new media perspectives into image interpretation, we have observed higher levels of radiographer participation in learning discussions within technical groups. This approach has significantly improved the comprehensive business capabilities of radiographers and fostered greater unity within the technical team.

Bibliometrics of the Dental Implant Literature: Journals, Countries, and Top-Cited Papers.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
March 2025
Background: One potential consequence of the multiplicity of bibliometric studies on dental implants is the emergence of a multifaceted image of the literature on implantology; hence complicating analysis and comprehension by readers.
Aim: In order to reduce or correct this distortion and to help readers in their interpretation, we review and analyze the bibliometrics of the dental implant (BDI) literature.
Method: Using multiple keywords related to dental implants using databases and general internet browsers, we collected and investigated 49 bibliometric studies through the lens of participating journals, contributing countries, and top-cited papers.
The cerebellum in epilepsy.

The cerebellum, a subcortical structure, is traditionally linked to sensorimotor integration and coordination, although its role in cognition and affective behavior, as well as epilepsy, is increasingly recognized. Cerebellar dysfunction in patients with epilepsy can result from genetic disorders, antiseizure medications, seizures, and seizure-related trauma. Impaired cerebellar function, regardless of cause, can cause ataxia (imbalance, impaired coordination, unsteady gait), tremor, gaze-evoked nystagmus, impaired slow gaze pursuit and saccade accuracy, as well as speech deficits (slurred, scanning, or staccato).

Purpose To evaluate the accuracy of detection based on level of interpreter experience when reporting coronary artery calcium (CAC) on dual-energy (DE) posteroanterior (PA) and lateral chest radiographs and demonstrate the accuracy of specific imaging clues. Materials and Methods Retrospective review of 45-70-year-old patients who underwent DE PA and lateral chest radiography between March 1, 2021, and June 30, 2021, and also underwent noncontrast chest CT scan within 3 years. Following instruction of DE principles and the appearance of CAC, seven readers interpreted the DE chest radiographs to state if CAC was possibly present, definitely present, or not present; estimate ordinal CAC score; and report imaging clues present.

Background And Purpose: This study aims to develop and compare combined models based on enhanced CT-based radiomics, multi-dimensional deep learning, clinical-conventional imaging and spatial habitat analysis to achieve accurate prediction of thymoma risk classification.
Materials And Methods: 205 consecutive patients with thymoma confirmed by surgical pathology were recruited from three medical centers. Venous phase enhanced CT images were used to delineate the tumor, and radiomics, 2D and 3D deep learning models based on the whole tumor were established and feature extraction was performed.

Motivated by the Swedish Betula study, we consider the joint modeling of longitudinal memory assessments and the hazard of dementia. In the Betula data, the time-to-dementia onset or its absence is available for all participants, while some memory measurements are missing. In longitudinal studies of aging, one cannot rule out the possibility of dropout due to health issues resulting in missing not at random longitudinal measurements.
