Rzadka przyczyna przepukliny pachwinowej: torbiel więzadła obłego

Torbiel mezotelialna więzadła obłego to rzadka przyczyna przepukliny pachwinowej. Zwykle jest rozpoznawana podczas zabiegów operacyjnych, które podejmowane są ze względu z wstępną diagnozę przepukliny pachwinowej. W badaniu staramy się przedstawić przypadki dwóch pacjentek, które lekarzom naszej kliniki zgłosiły występowanie zgrubienia w okolicy pachwinowej, i u których za pomocą ultrasonografii, obrazów rezonansu magnetycznego i obrazów tych pozyskanych w trakcie zabiegu, zdiagnozowano torbiel więzadła obłego

A Rare Cause of Inguinal Mass: Round Ligament Cyst

Round ligament mesothelial cyst is a rare cause of inguinal mass. Round ligament cysts are generally diagnosed during surgery in cases with pre-diagnosis of inguinal hernia. In this study, we aim to present two cases of patients who have reported to our clinic complaining of a mass in the inguinal region and who were diagnosed with round ligament cyst via ultrasound, magnetic resonance images and surgery images

The role of shear wave elastography in the assessment of placenta previa–accreta

© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Objective: To evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the prediction of morbidly adherent placenta. Methods: Forty-three women with normal placental location and 26 women with anteriorly localized placenta previa were recruited for this case-control study. Placental elasticity values in both the groups were determined by SWE imaging. Results: SWE values were higher in the placenta previa group in all regions than in normal localized placentas (p .05). Conclusions: Placental stiffness is significantly higher in placenta previa than normal localized placentas. However, we could not demonstrate any statistically significant difference in the elasticity values between the placenta previa with and without accreta

Utility of lung radiodensity ratios in diagnosis of radiolucent foreign body aspiration in children: a practical approach

Objective: To evaluate the utility of radiodensity ratio between lungs on chest X-ray for the diagnosis of radiolucent foreign body aspiration (FBA) in children

Diagnostic utility of arterial spin labeling in identifying changes in brain perfusion in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning

Objective: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. The affinity of hemoglobin for CO is significantly higher than that for oxygen, and the formation of carboxy-hemoglobin leads to a decrease in the capacity of blood to transport oxygen to tissues, tissue hypoxia, and early perfusion changes in the affected tissue. This study aimed to investigate the utility of arterial spin labeling perfusion imaging (ASL-PI) in revealing cerebral vascular hemodynamic changes in patients presenting to the emergency room with CO poisoning and to compare findings with those from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in the evaluation of renal parenchymal stiffness in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction

To investigate the role of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in the detection of renal parenchymal damage in kidneys with and without ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO)

Quantitative Assessment of Thyroid, Submandibular, and Parotid Glands Elasticity With Shear-Wave Elastography in Children

Tissue elasticity is becoming a more commonly used parameter in evaluation of parenchyma in inflammatory diseases. Considering the changes in the thyroid and salivary glands with adolescence, determination of mean elasticity ranges with a function of age is necessary to apply ultrasound elastography more widely in the pediatric population. The thyroid, submandibular, and parotid glands of 127 healthy volunteers (66 males, 61 females; mean age = 10.3 3.9 years; range = 3-17 years) were evaluated with shear-wave elastography. The mean elasticity values for the thyroid, submandibular, and parotid glands were 14.6 +/- 3.3, 11.8 +/- 2.2, and 11.8 +/- 2.6 kPa, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between age and elasticity of the thyroid, submandibular, and parotid glands. There was a significant correlation between age and elasticity value of the thyroid gland adjusted for weight and height. This study provided the baseline quantitative elasticity measures of thyroid, submandibular, and parotid glands, which would be a reference for upcoming studies. In addition, an increase in elasticity value in thyroid gland as a function of age independent of change in weight and height was demonstrated
