Abstract Purpose To propose a new quality scoring tool, METhodological RadiomICs Score (METRICS), to assess and improve research of radiomics studies. Methods We conducted an online modified Delphi study with group international experts. It was performed in three consecutive stages: Stage#1, item preparation; Stage#2, panel discussion among EuSoMII Auditing Group members identify the items be voted; Stage#3, four rounds exercise by panelists determine eligible for METRICS their weights. The...
<h3>Importance</h3> Approximately 3.4% of adults have ankle (tibiotalar) osteoarthritis and, among younger patients, is more common than knee and hip osteoarthritis. Few effective nonsurgical interventions exist, but platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are widely used, with some evidence efficacy in <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the effect PRP on symptoms function patients <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A multicenter, block-randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical...
Hindfoot malalignment is a recognized cause of foot and ankle disability. For preoperative planning clinical follow-up, reliable radiographic assessment hindfoot alignment important. The long axial view the are commonly used for this purpose. However, their comparative reliabilities unknown. As varus or valgus most pronounced during mid-stance gait, unilateral weight-bearing stance, in comparison with bilateral could increase measurement reliability. purpose study was to compare intra-...
Peri-articular soft-tissue masses or ‘pseudotumours’ can occur after large-diameter metal-on-metal (MoM) resurfacing of the hip and conventional total replacement (THR). Our aim was to assess incidence pseudotumour formation identify risk factors for their in a prospective cohort study. A 119 patients who underwent 120 MoM THRs with femoral heads between January 2005 November 2007 were included Outcome scores, serum metal ion levels, radiographs CT scans obtained. Patients symptoms an...
Findings from previous studies have suggested that subclinical inflammation of the synovium does not coincide with appearance rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-specific autoantibodies. This study was undertaken to examine relationship between presence autoantibodies, changes in synovium, and development over time a markedly larger, prospective study.
To develop a protocol for diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) of the complete upper legs and to demonstrate feasibility detection subclinical sports-related muscle changes in athletes after strenuous exercise, which remain undetected by using conventional T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) with fat suppression.The research was approved institutional ethics committee review board, volunteers provided written consent before study. Five male amateur long-distance runners underwent an MR examination...
To design a time-efficient patient-friendly clinical diffusion tensor MRI protocol and postprocessing tool to study the complex muscle architecture of human forearm.The 15-minute examination was done using 3 T system consisted of: T(1) -weighted imaging, dual echo gradient single-shot spin-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) MRI. Postprocessing comprised signal-to-noise improvement by Rician noise suppression algorithm, image registration correct for motion eddy currents, correction...
In 10-20% of patients with subacute-onset idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), muscle biopsy is normal or shows nonspecific findings. MRI can be used as a triage test before and an add-on if the nondiagnostic.MRI scans skeletal muscles biopsies were evaluated prospectively in 48 suspected to have IIM. The interpretations compared definite diagnosis (based on European Neuromuscular Centre criteria response corticosteroids).The false negative rate (FNR) all was 0.23. Biopsies showing...
Background: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of calcaneal fractures using an extended lateral approach results in soft tissue disruption theoretically subtalar joint stiffness. A minimally invasive sinus tarsi for posterior facet exposure percutaneous screw the body has been implemented. This report details stability resulting from this approach. Methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients (18 male, 3 female, 45 ± 16 years) with 22 underwent ORIF minimal through reduction, plate...
Background Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an experimental treatment for acute muscle injuries. We examined whether PRP would accelerate return to play after hamstring injury. The methods and the primary outcome measure were published in New England Journal of Medicine ( NEJM ) as ‘Platelet-rich injury’ (2014). This article shares information not available letter or online supplement, especially rationale behind study secondary measures including 1 year re-injury data. Methods...
