Computer assisted tomography (CT) is a new radiographic technique, which displays a transverse representation of a slice of the body. The resulting images have a remarkable capacity for density resolution. In Neuroradiology, the use of CT is well established and it is becoming more and more often utilized for orthopaedic investigations. The value of CT in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal system lesions is being determined by evaluation of the literature and of our own experiences. The CT method appears definitely indicated for diagnosis and precise localization of tumors of the muusculoskeletal system. Especially, regions of complex anatomy, where determination of different angles and various anatomical measurements are possible from the display which is free from projection errors. The possibility of using CT for intravital examination of bone density of patients needs further development.

Background And Objective: There are still many controversies about the factors influencing maxillary sinus cysts and their clinical management. This study aims to construct a prediction model of maxillary sinus cyst and explore its clustering pattern by cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) technique and machine learning (ML) method to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and clinical management of maxillary sinus cyst.
Methods: In this study, 6000 CBCT images of maxillary sinus from 3093 patients were evaluated to document the possible influencing factors of maxillary sinus cysts, including gender, age, odontogenic factors, and anatomical factors.

Introduction: Little is known about temporal trends in the incidence of male hypogonadism and its correlation with socioeconomic status, which we examined in the present study.
Methods: We extracted data from the Maccabi Health Services computerized database between 2001-2017. The study population included 4,261 men aged 21 to 80 with biochemically proven hypogonadism defined and classified according to the European Male Aging Study criteria.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by acid-fast bacillus pertaining to the complex. Pulmonary TB is the most common presentation, resulting either from primary infection or reactivation of latent disease. In rare cases, wide dissemination of can occur, usually by hematogenous or lymphatic route, leading to multiorgan involvement and potentially life-threatening conditions known as disseminated TB.

Background: Obesity is associated with cognitive impairment. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) improves cognitive functioning and weight loss is not a primary mechanism. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) may play an important role in cognitive outcomes following MBS, though few studies have examined this possibility.

Study Question: Can a video clip detailing the patient journey decrease women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval?
Summary Answer: The video clip does not affect women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval.
What Is Known Already: IVF triggers anxious reactions in women and men, with peaks of anxiety on the day of (especially the first) oocyte retrieval as shown by reliable questionnaires and biomarkers of distress. Several trials showed that videos with preparatory information reduce women's and men's anxiety for out-patient procedures.
