Abstract Background Accurate diagnosis of unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy (CLA) using medical images heavily relies on the experience radiologists, which is even worse for CLA patients in underdeveloped countries and regions, because lack expertise reliable history. This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) radiomics model based B-mode color Doppler ultrasound assisting radiologists improve their diagnoses etiology CLA. Methods Patients with who received examinations from three...
Early and accurate preoperative diagnosis of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is crucial to improve surgical management patients with clinical node-negative papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Towards improving CLNM, we assessed the value combining characteristics, conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in prediction CLNM different sized PTCs.Patients were divided according tumor size: a PTC group (>10 mm) microcarcinoma (PTMC) (≤10 mm). We retrospectively analyzed...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic value of CEUS in atypical-enhanced PTC. METHODS: The clinical data, qualitative and quantitative parameters 177 Iso/hyper-enhanced thyroid nodules with definite pathological results were retrospectively analyzed Lanzhou University Second Hospital from June 2019 to January 2021. And diagnosis PTC was assessed using univariate multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Among nodules, 59 benign 118 There significant differences age, enhancement border, ring...
This study aims to investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differential diagnosis and risk stratification ACR TI-RADS category 4 5 thyroid nodules with non-hypovascular.From January 2016 December 2019 our hospital, 217 non-hypovascular 210 consecutive patients were included for a derivation cohort. With surgery and/or fine-needle aspiration (FNA) as reference, conventional (US) features CEUS analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used screen...
To explore the diagnostic performance of threshold visual field tests using subsets standard 24-2 test pattern in detecting early/moderate glaucomatous loss.Normal (Brusini stage 0, n = 2344) and defective eyes 2-3, 2222) from a database (6696 eyes/3586 patients, SITA algorithm) were selected resampled bootstrap method. The positive predictive values (PPVs) each location calculated for datasets with fail criteria single missed stimulus at deviation probability level less than 0.01. Optimized...
Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine today.Differentiated thyroid (DTC) comprises more than 95% of all cancers.With increasing incidence tumors and development screening, patients suffer from multiple cancers.The purpose this study was to explore prognostic value a history prior malignancy for stage I DTC.Methods: Stage DTC were identified Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database.The Kaplan-Meier method Cox proportional hazards regression used determine risk...
Postnatal outcome of fetuses with isolated single umbilical artery (SUA) is determined mainly by right ventricular function. Our study examined whether there are differences in function during the gestation period SUA compared to healthy fetuses.A prospective was conducted on 77 and gestational age-matched controls from 22 39 weeks. For age grouping, control were divided into second trimester group (22-27 weeks; 43 fetuses) third (28-39 34 fetuses). The fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic...
To assess the diagnostic value of echogenic foci in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and relationship between aggressiveness PTC.From January 2018 to 2021, a total 950 patients diagnosed with nodules (n = 1113) our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among 1113 nodules, single PTC 527 confirmed by surgery was studied for their aggressive biological behavior. The patterns classified as: no foci, sparse punctate focal diffuse petal-like comet-tail artifacts, coarse peripheral rim...
To demonstrate utility of a game-based test ("Caspar's Castle") for the detection visual field defects in children.A validity and reliability study was carried out at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Pediatric Ophthalmology Outpatients Department. We recruited 108 children with no eye pathology (aged 4-12 years) examined single Caspar's Castle system using either normal thresholds or artificially adapted to recreate assess diagnostic utility. Number peripheral stimuli missed used determine...
The aim of this study was to demonstrate and explore the ability novel game-based perimetry establish normal visual field thresholds in children.One hundred eighteen children (aged 8.0 ± 2.8 years old) with no history loss or significant medical were recruited. Each child had one eye tested using a test 'Caspar's Castle' at four retinal locations 12.7° (N = 118) from fixation. Thresholds established repeatedly up/down staircase algorithms stimuli varying diameter (luminance 20 cd/m2,...
Aims To assess the association of rectus femoris mass index (RFMI) with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in individuals type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Totally 948 T2DM cases were enrolled. Nerve conduction parameters, quantitative sensory threshold and cross-sectional area (RFCSA) obtained, (RFMI=RFCSA/height ) was derived. The patients assigned to four groups based on interquartile spacing RFMI. Results Motor/sensory nerve amplitude velocity (CV) significantly lower low-level...
More and more new ultrasound techniques with their own characteristics are applied in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. This study amied to assess compare diagnostic value Demetics ultrasound-assisted system contrast-enhanced (CEUS) combined Thyroid Image Reporting Data Systems (TI-RADS) for nodules.A total 600 nodules pathological findings were retrospectively analysed. CEUS performed all The efficacy different sizes was evaluated compared terms sensitivity, specificity,...
Background: Subcutaneous soft tissue metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is rarely diagnosed before surgery for clinicians. Case Report: We present a case 67-year-old man with history FTC and papillary microcarcinoma five years. Multiple protruding subcutaneous nodules the neck were found removed from surface sternocleidomastoid muscle. Ultrasound, computed tomography technetium-99m pertechnetate single-photon emission performed operation, which unfortunately indicated...
Recent studies have shown that the glucagon receptor (GCGR) plays an important role in development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both pigs and humans exhibit significantly similar behaviors their glucose lipid metabolism. In this study, obtained Bama minipig GCGR coding sequence was 1437 bp encoding 479 amino acids (AA), which demonstrated higher homology with than other species. It showed highest expression profile liver, followed by lung kidney. addition, three-dimensional structure...
