Background Pre-liver transplant (LT) sarcopenia is associated with poor survival. Methods exist for measuring body composition use of CT scans; however, it unclear which components best predict post-LT outcomes. Purpose To quantify the association between abdominal CT-based measurements and mortality in a large North American cohort. Materials This was retrospective cohort adult first-time deceased-donor LT recipients from 2009 to 2018 who underwent pre-LT scans, including at L3 vertebral...
Objective: The appropriate clinical management of indeterminate small renal masses can be improved based on accurate risk stratification. This study aimed to investigate the impact function uptake technetium-99m ( 99m Tc)-sestamibi, a widely available imaging agent that utilized identify oncocytomas and other benign/indolent masses. Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted, involving 100 consecutive patients who underwent Tc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed...

In the past 2 decades, there has been increasing interest in calprotectin. It is released and detected serum body fluids as a potentially useful clinical inflammatory marker. The protein described synovial tissue rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, specifically lining layer adjacent to cartilage–pannus junction, which primary site of cartilage destruction bone erosion. Assessment activity RA pivotal importance for optimal treatment. Our aim this study measure calprotectin levels patients...
Introduction Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US) is an objective tool for the evaluation of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. There no consensus on exact number joints that should be examined. Examination reduced joint count more practical than comprehensive one. Objectives This a cross-sectional study investigated validity 7-joint US score (US7) assessment inflammation RA patients compared with simplified 12-joint (US12) and correlated both to composite indices....
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by ongoing joint destruction. MicroRNAs (miRs) are blood-based biomarkers linked to RA pathogenesis. The musculoskeletal ultrasonography seven-joint score (US7) an objective tool assess activity. We aimed evaluate miR-223 and miR-16 roles in monitoring activity investigate if there a link between their plasma levels US7 score. This study enrolled 76 patients classified according Disease Activity Score 28-joint count with erythrocyte sediment rate...
Studies have demonstrated that all 3 of the FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson) are effective at reducing SARS-CoV-2-related hospitalizations, severe disease, death. While these vaccinations a compelling safety profile, no discussion regarding impact vaccination on exacerbation slow-flow vascular malformations (SFVMs) has been had. We present first case series consecutive patients who clinical emergence or venous malformation status-post...
To study the safety profile, associated risk factors, and outcomes of complications following percutaneous sclerotherapy peripheral venous malformations (VMs). Our vascular anomalies database was searched for patients with VMs who underwent image-guided between 2003 to 2022. Charts were retrospectively reviewed extract patient demographics, VM location, presenting symptoms, treatment details, adverse events (AEs), their outcomes. Univariate multivariate logistic regression tests used...
Osteoarthritis of the hand is common, frequently affecting postmenopausal women. Heberden's nodes are characteristic lesions. The present case a 62 year old female having pain and functional impairment her right thumb. She was examined by musculoskeletal ultrasound, which played useful role in diagnosing cause impairment.
