The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic agreement between bowel sonography and MR enterography in children with suspected or confirmed inflammatory disease (IBD).We prospectively studied 33 undergoing clinically indicated enterography. Bowel performed within 2 hours before reliability each modality assessed by computing interreader kappa on nine markers eight segments intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) segment. both modalities segment also calculated using Kendall...
Angiolipomas of the spine are rare benign tumors commonly presenting with compressive myelopathy. The present report describes a case spinal angiolipoma thoracic mediastinal extension in 50-year-old woman. She presented long-standing history mid-back pain progressive lower extremities weakness. An MRI showed heterogeneously enhancing mass located posterior epidural space extension. Histopathological examination demonstrated features consistent angiolipoma. This emphasizes diagnosis and...
The purpose of this article is to determine whether hepatic artery (HA) Doppler parameters can be used predict pediatric liver graft status in the immediate postoperative (< 10 days) period and first year after transplant.A retrospective review transplant database was performed operative, clinical, laboratory, histopathologic, ultrasound findings at three time points surgery: 3 days, months, 1 year. association between HA velocity resistive index (RI) with assessed.Of 120 children (54 girls...
The goal of this study was to obtain population-based data on the incidence, clinical presentation, management, imaging features, and long-term outcomes patients with all types neonatal stroke (NS).Full-term neonates NS born between January 2007 December 2013 were identified through Nova Scotia Provincial Perinatal Follow-up Program Database. course reviewed. Neurodevelopmental assessed at 18 36 months age using standardized testing.Twenty-nine during period, giving an incidence 47 per...
Introduction The objective of this work is to assess the performance our staged diagnostic pathway in evaluation suspected appendicitis cases children. consisted clinical assessment by emergency physician, performing initial ultrasound (US), consultation, and reevaluation surgery team followed a repeat focused US scan inconclusive cases. Computed tomography (CT) was limited where remained reassessment indicated persistent concerns for appendicitis. Method Retrospective review electronic...
ObjectiveTo develop deep learning (DL) models applied to neonatal cranial ultrasound (CUS) and clinical variables predict neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in very preterm babies (VPI) at 3 years of corrected age.Patients MethodsA retrospective study a cohort VPI (220-306 weeks' gestation) born between 2004 2016 Nova Scotia, Canada. Clinical data hospital discharge, CUS images three time points were used DL using elastic net (EN) convolutional neural network (CNN). The models' performance...
<title>Abstract</title> <underline>Objective:</underline> The accurate prediction and early detection of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) is a crucial endeavor in caring for very preterm infants (VPI). Sequential cranial ultrasound (CUS) the standard care imaging evaluation. There no consensus on timing frequency CUS screening. At our institution four time points are performed We hypothesize that 2-week not necessary NDI prognostication. <underline>Materials methods:</underline> In this...
Purpose: Is machine learning (ML) superior to the traditionally used logistic regression (LR) in prediction of neurodevelopmental outcomes preterm infants? Objectives: To develop and internally validate a ML model predict impairment (NDI) very infants (<31 weeks) at 36 months corrected age, using clinical predictors. Methods: A retrospective cohort (230–306 born between January 2004 December 2016 Nova Scotia, Canada. Survivors with assessment age were included. The study sample was...
Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant brain tumor of childhood. Although craniospinal dissemination within the subarachnoid space common, invasion dural sinuses rare. Here, authors report on 15-year-old girl who presented with right cerebellar mass, obstructive hydrocephalus, and radiographic evidence into transverse-sigmoid sinus junction. The patient underwent posterior fossa craniotomy, gross-total resection intraparenchymal component tumor, coagulation invading transverse sinus. After...
