Up-to-now trials have pointed out the importance of determining the type of obesity because the central type of obesity is joined with glucose tolerance disturbance, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. The sagittal abdominal diameter proved to be the method of choice in routine clinical practice for visceral fat tissue detection. We examined a group of 60 females in whom, apart from standard measures (body weight, height, body mass index, perimeters of waist and hips), the sagittal abdominal diameter was measured by means of specially constructed caliper (Holtain Kahn Abdominal Caliper). Gathered parameters were compared with the results of an examination performed on 30 healthy females of normal body weight (control group). Results show a statistically significant higher sagittal abdominal diameter in females with central type of obesity in comparison to the control group, which points to greater quantity of visceral fat tissue in this type of obesity.

Deep learning enabled near-isotropic CAIPIRINHA VIBE in the nephrogenic phase improves image quality and renal lesion conspicuity.
Eur J Radiol Open
June 2025
Department of Radiology, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Deep learning (DL) accelerated controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA)-volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE), provides high spatial resolution T1-weighted imaging of the upper abdomen. We aimed to investigate whether DL-CAIPIRINHA-VIBE can improve image quality, vessel conspicuity, and lesion detectability compared to a standard CAIPIRINHA-VIBE in renal imaging at 3 Tesla.
Methods: In this prospective study, 50 patients with 23 solid and 45 cystic renal lesions underwent MRI with clinical MR sequences, including standard CAIPIRINHA-VIBE and DL-CAIPIRINHA-VIBE sequences in the nephrographic phase at 3 Tesla.
Due to the low contrast of abdominal CT (Computer Tomography) images and the similar color and shape of the liver to other organs such as the spleen, stomach, and kidneys, liver segmentation presents significant challenges. Additionally, 2D CT images obtained from different angles (such as sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes) increase the diversity of liver morphology and the complexity of segmentation. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Detail Enhanced Convolution (DE Conv) to improve liver feature learning and thereby enhance liver segmentation performance.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Hokkaido Medical Center for Child Health and Rehabilitation, 1-1-240-6, Kanayama, Teine-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 006-0041, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify surgical site infection (SSI) risk factors after anal reconstruction surgery in patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs).
Methods: This retrospective analysis from January 2013 to December 2022, including all pediatric surgical facilities in Hokkaido, Japan, examined consecutive patients with ARMs, excluding cloacal cases, regarding perioperative and SSI factors during their initial anal reconstruction surgeries.
Results: This study involved 157 cases of major clinical groups and 7 cases of rare/regional variants, among whom 4% developed SSIs.
Delayed development of the inferior mesenteric vein in human fetuses.

Department of Anatomy, Division of Basic Medicine, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Japan.
Background: The superior mesenteric vein appears as a fusion between irregularly-shaped slits of the midgut mesentery tissue at 5-6 weeks. In contrast, there might be no report when and how the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) develops. We aimed to find the human initial IMV.

Orthopaedic Surgery Department, Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital, Paris, France; Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris, France.
Purpose: The variation of lumbar lordosis between standing and supine position is poorly explored in literature. This study sought to analyze variation of lumbar regional angulations (RA) in healthy volunteers between standing and supine positions, according to pelvic incidence (PI).
Methods: This study included 171 patients who had an abdominal CT-scan in supine position and 879 healthy volunteers with full-body stereoradiographs.
