Background: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis [DNM] is a serious complication of odontogenic infections, being associated with high mortality rate. The diagnosis, classification, and management depend on computed tomography [CT] findings. Incision, drainage, debridement represent the principal management. This study aimed to assess prognosis in DNM. Methods: DNM type I was managed by transcervical mediastinal while II, right or left posterolateral thoracotomy used. Data were compared...

PurposeThyroid diseases are common yet serious in children that lead to many metabolic and growth disorders; the most among these diffuse thyroid (DTD). This study aimed evaluate reliability of shear wave elastography (SWE) differentiate diagnose DTD from normal tissue.MethodThis prospective included participants patients with DTD. The subjects were assessed by clinical evaluation, laboratory investigation, conventional ultrasound, Doppler examination, followed SWE assessments. Statistical...

Abstract Background Thyroid nodules are an important health problem in children and adolescents. They possess a higher risk of malignancy comparison to adults. This fact forms great dilemma for clinicians. The aim this study was evaluate the reliability shear wave elastography (SWE) as non-invasive technique characterization thyroid Methods prospective included 56 patients with nodules. All underwent clinical assessment, laboratory investigations, ultrasound, Doppler examination, followed by...

Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of disease. So, it can be evaluate liver cirrhosis and could correlate with esophageal varices. The purpose this study was the efficiency shear for assessment predicting presence gastro-esophageal varices in patients cirrhosis. Ultrasound changes were seen 100% included patients. Color Doppler revealed porto-systemic collaterals 20% differentiate cases from control cutoff value 13.1 kPa....

Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society Ultrasound in Medicine January 2014), official English-language journal (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound, Aims Scope:Ultrasonography ultrasound.It published four times per year: 1, April July October 1. Original articles, topical reviews, pictorial essays, notable case reports are covering state-of-the-art content. also...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency multiple abdominal fat indices measured by ultrasound and anthropometric predict presence severity coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed angiography.All participants subjected clinical laboratory assessments. Anthropometric measurements were taken followed an examination measure thickness at areas. Lastly, selective angiography performed Judkins technique. Statistical analysis detect association between all variables CAD, regression...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious respiratory that leads to variable degrees of illness, and which may be fatal. We evaluated the diagnostic performance each chest computed tomography (CT) reporting category recommended by Expert Consensus Radiological Society North America (RSNA) in comparison with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). aimed add an analysis this form Middle East, as few studies have been performed there. Between July 2021...

Objectives: The research aims to evaluate the proficiency of medical interns in identifying critical findings on chest X-rays, such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and other urgent conditions. It also seeks determine interns' capability differentiate between normal abnormal findings, well their ability prioritize communicate these senior staff promptly. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional online questionnaire-based form was used collect data from across...

Background and aim Accelerated atherosclerosis is a leading cause of increased cardiovascular morbidity mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Atherosclerosis mediated by multifactorial processes including inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, autoantibodies, dyslipidemia, traditional risk factors. So, we aimed to evaluate carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) for early detection subclinical SLE determine its correlation disease activity. Patients methods A total 50...

Abstract Background: Routine neck exploration for isolated penetrating injuries (PNIs) in hemodynamically stable patients increases the frequency of nontherapeutic surgeries, and complications. Current management protocol involves no zone approach which uses physical examination computerized tomographic angiography to guide treatment plans. This work aimed study effectiveness reliability no-zone PNIs patients. Methods: cases were managed using approach. Detected accordingly. Results:...

Background: Recently, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging has been extensively used for early detection and localization of clinically significant prostate cancer.Magnetic spectroscopy provides chemical information about metabolites in normal abnormal tissues.It isn't widely routine prostatic lesions.Objectives: to evaluate the diagnostic benefit from adding MRS combined T2WI DWI (bi-parametric MRI) lesions diagnosis.Patients Methods: This prospective study included MRI 128 adult male...

Background: Many neurovascular structures are in critical proximity to the sphenoid sinus margins.The purpose of study is establish a simple classification for relation paraclival carotid canal margins using computed tomography minimize surgical risks.Methods: This retrospective included 168 patients who were referred Diagnostic Radiology Department scans on paranasal sinuses from June 2019 2020.We evaluated pneumatization pattern, internal artery its margins, and variations intersinus...

Abstract Background The fetal face reflects strictly the development of brain during its growth. Four-dimensional (4D) examination permits continuous monitoring examined parts and surface. final performance obstetric sonographic images depends upon multiple factors, such as lie, uterine wall, abdominal wall fat, amniotic fluid, number gestations which may limit optimum ultrasound. two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is first choice due to wide availability, low cost, real-time capabilities....
