Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair has become popular in the last few years because it avoids large skin incisions and deltoid detachment dysfunction. Earlier arthroscopic single-row (SR) methods achieved only partial restoration of original footprint tendons cuff, while double-row (DR) presented many biomechanical advantages higher rates tendon-to-bone healing. However, DR failed to demonstrate better clinical results than SR trials. MR imaging at 3 Tesla, especially with intra-articular...
Abstract Context: Mandibuloacral dysplasia type A (MADA; OMIM 248370) is a rare progeroid syndrome characterized by dysmorphic craniofacial and skeletal features, lipodystrophy, metabolic complications. Most Italian patients carry the same homozygous missense mutation (p.R527H) in C-terminal tail domain of LMNA gene, which encodes lamin A/C, an intermediate filament component nuclear envelope. Objective: The objective study was to identify novel mutations individuals with clinical...
Joint injection is a useful tool in the diagnosis of intra-articular pathology that may improve diagnostic performance computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Historically, conventional arthrography under fluoroscopy was first method to be used image indirectly soft tissues, but with advent CT, CT offered better tissue depiction. The development MR allowed even visualization early 1990s, surpassed popularity. injections also performed for therapeutic reasons different...
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is currently an alternative for treating vertebral fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine, providing both pain control stabilization. In cervical however, percutaneous technically challenging because complex anatomy this region.We evaluated technical feasibility, complication rate, ability to provide relief in patients with painful metastatic fractures.We retrospectively reviewed 62 (24 men) who, between May 2005 2009, underwent treat fractures. Each patient...
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety percutaneous vertebroplasty, a new technique for treatment vertebral pain deriving from fracture or gross osteolytic lesion due multiple myeloma spinal involvement.Spinal lesions are frequently associated with hematologic malignancies primary localization disease (multiple rarely lymphoma) secondary effect intensive corticosteroid therapy.We treated 64 patients (34 males, 30 females; mean age 71.4+/-9.6 y) refractory...
