The Effect Of Disc Displacement On Temporomandibular Joint Morphology In Patients With Disc Displacement, Melike Yurttaş, Esin Bozdemir, Şehnaz Evrimler

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Objective: To examine the morphological properties of temporomandibular joint structures by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on patients with and without disc displacement (DD). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with disc displacement and 13 patients without disc displacement were included. Age, gender, and clinical findings such as pain, joint sounds of patients were recorded. The patients were classified as anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDWR) group, anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR) group, and control group on MRI. Disc morphology was categorized as biconcave, hemiconvex, biconvex, biplanar, or folded. Condyle morphology was characterized as convex, angled, flat, or rounded. Articular eminence …

Optimal Infusion Rate Of Hypertonic Saline To Encephalic Vessel Vasodilatation Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Normovolemic Dogs, Yoshiki Murakami, Kenji Tsukano, Haruyuki Hirata, Hiroshi Koie, Kazuyuki Suzuki

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study aimed to investigate, using magnetic resonance imaging, whether continuous hypertonic saline (HSS) infusion induces a superior vasodilating effect on the encephalic vessels compared to bolus infusion in dogs. The relative cross-sectional area of superior sagittal sinus increased to 1.96±0.09 and 1.69±0.31 times of the pre-value in the continuous and bolus groups, respectively, at t=30 min (p<0.001). However, the relative cross-sectional area of superior sagittal sinus was larger in the continuous group than that in the bolus group (p<0.001). The results suggest that continuous infusion of HSS might be superior to bolus infusion in inducing vasodilatation of the encephalic circulation.

Menoufia Medical Journal

Background Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) disease was primarily described as a pandemic of respiratory illness, however, with the disease progression, variable cases with extrapulmonary manifestations have been reported all over the world. Severe acute respiratory-syndrome coronavirus- 2 infection can affect different body systems with the neurologic, abdominal, thromboembolic, cardiac, mediastinal, and hematological manifestations that had been reported in many literatures. The understanding of this multisystemic involvement is being better understood as the pandemic progresses. Objective The aim was to study the different neuroimaging findings in patients with severe acute respiratory- syndrome coronavirus-2 infection and their clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Patients and …

The Benign Mimickers Of Carcinoma On Breast Mri, Irmak Durur-Subasi, Adem Karaman, Elif Demirci, Sare Sipal, Mufide Nuran Akcay

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

The similarity between benign and malignant pathologies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a wide-ranging variability of the lesions from benign proliferative changes to invasive breast carcinoma cause a lower and wide-ranging specificity of breast MRI relative to its surpass sensitivity. A wide range of tissue components such as the skin, the adipose tissue, vascular and neural tissues, connective tissues, glandular tissues, ducts, and muscle tissues are found here all together. This pictorial review was aimed at deliberating benign mimickers of breast carcinoma on MRI and trying to call attention to the overlapping and distinctive features.

A Single-Center Experience Of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Of Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratomas, Mesude Tosun, İsa Çam, Hande Uslu, Yasemi̇n Doğan, Yonca Anik

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) are known as rare tumors, but they are the most common tumor in fetuses and newborns. This study aims to present fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of SCT diagnosed prenatally and compare them with that of the prenatal Ultrasound (US) findings. Materials and methods: Eleven patients diagnosed as SCT prenatally by US and further assessed by MRI are included. MRI was performed via a 1.5-T magnet with a body coil. The presence, size, content extension, and compressive effects of each mass were determined and correlated with US findings and with postnatal examinations, including surgery and …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) in lateralization and to investigate variables associated with accurate IPSS lateralization prediction. Materials and methods: Initially, data from 55 patients who underwent IPSS in our institution were reviewed retrospectively. IPSS lateralization and pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of these patients were compared with postoperative follow-up and immunohistochemical data to calculate the positive predictive values (PPVs) for IPSS and MRI. Variables likely to be associated with the accurate prediction of IPSS lateralization were analyzed. Results: Twenty-seven patients (85.2% female, mean age of …
