Background Prostate volume, as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is a useful biomarker both for distinguishing between benign and malignant pathology can be used either alone or combined with other parameters such prostate‐specific antigen. Purpose This study compared different deep learning methods whole‐gland zonal prostate segmentation. Study Type Retrospective. Population A total of 204 patients (train/test = 99/105) from the PROSTATEx public dataset. Field...

Although prostate cancer is one of the most common causes mortality and morbidity in advancing-age males, early diagnosis improves prognosis modifies therapy choice. The aim this study was evaluation a combined radiomics machine learning approach on publicly available dataset order to distinguish clinically significant from non-significant lesion. A total 299 lesions were included analysis. univariate statistical analysis performed prove goodness 60 extracted radiomic features distinguishing...

The main objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects magnesium pidolate (15 mmol/day) on blood pressure at rest and during sympathetic stimulation induced by cold, isometric tilt test; peripheral flow has been evaluated strain-gauge plethysmography. Fourteen mild moderate hypertensives (8 males, 6 females, age range 40-60 years) were randomly given or placebo in a double-blind parallel for months. In actively treated group urinary excretion increased from 5.3 ± 2 7.7...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of liver, with several histological variants being reported in literature. Hereby, we describe a case 77-year-old man chronic liver disease referred to our department for performing computed tomography (CT) due mass discovered at an abdominal ultrasound follow-up. At CT, large, ill-defined lesion third hepatic segment was detected, characterized by progressive and delayed enhancement minimal retraction capsule, associated...

Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations of the children and can develop everywhere along gastrointestinal (GI) tract, being ileum most frequent localization. We herein present an unusual case cyst ileal origin who show a tubular morphology doesn't communicate with GI lumen. A 2-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital for investigation anechoic formation lower right abdomen surgical planning. The patient asymptomatic. Ultrasound (US) magnetic resonance imaging...

Renal arteriovenous fistula is classified into idiopathic, acquired and congenital. Endovascular therapy has become the gold standard compared to surgery. We present embolization procedure of a renal postbiopsy in 57-year-old female patient through use St. Jude Medical Amplatzer vascular Plug IV. Although numerous embolizing agents are available, plug type IV advantages terms times, speed precision occlusion, but with relative increase costs.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is characterized by the of crystals in various joint structures. can be linked to underlying metabolic disorders such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hypothyroidism, all which increase risk calcium deposition. We present case a 55-year-old male who underwent diagnostic examination for onset recurrent pain right knee.

Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a nonneoplastic tumor-like lesion, made up of fibrous matrix with immature bone tissue surrounded by osteoblasts, occurring usually in the cortex tibial diaphysis. OFD seen first decade life and, according to literature, it rarely newborn period. Diagnosis congenital challenging because uncommon this age group and can be confused other benign or malignant lesions. Imaging plays an important role diagnosis, although histological confirmation often required. Our...

Acute bleeding is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of Parathyroid Adenoma described in just few cases literature. We describe the case healthy 53-years-old female patient without prior history parathyroid pathology who presented with acute onset neck mediastinal hemorrhage. Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) combined laboratory tests led to diagnosis adenoma. This sensitize both Radiologists Clinicians about this presentation that...
