Magnetization Transfer Ratio In The Typically Developing Pediatric Spinal Cord: Normative Data And Age Correlation, Sara Naghizadeh Kashani, Iswarya Vel, Zahra Sadeghi Adl, Shiva Shahrampour, Devon Middleton, Mahdi Alizadeh, Laura Krisa, Scott Faro, Slimane Tounekti, Julien Cohen-Adad, Feroze Mohamed

Department of Radiology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study presents automated atlas-based magnetization transfer (MT) measurements of the typically developing pediatric cervical spinal cord (SC). We report normative MT ratio (MTR) values from the whole cervical cord white matter (WM) and WM tracts, examining variations with age, sex, height, and weight.

METHODS: MT scans of 33 healthy females (mean age = 12.8) and 22 males (mean age = 13.09) were acquired from the cervical SC (C2-C7) using a 3.0 T MRI. Data were processed using the SC Toolbox, segmented, and registered to the PAM50 template. Affine and non-rigid transformations co-registered the PAM50 WM atlas …

Comparing The Patient Shielding Practices For Healthcare Facilities In Southeast Georgia, Genesis Horton

Honors College Theses

Since the discovery of X-rays in 1895, research has consistently been conducted on their capabilities and limitations in healthcare. One primary focus of interest is patient shielding, especially regarding radiation protection and patient safety. Introduced in the mid-1900s, patient shielding has been practiced to protect the gonads, the thyroid, and other radiosensitive body parts. This research project investigated common shielding protocols implemented in healthcare facilities, specifically within Southeast Georgia. This study utilized anonymized in-person interviews with local imaging departments regarding their procedures and protocols for patient shielding. Results from these interviews have been analyzed and compared to shielding best practices …

Pattern Integration And Differentiation: Dual Process Model Of Episodic Memory, Hallvard Røe Evensmoen, Lars M. Rimol, Henning Stople Rise, Tor Ivar Hansen, Hamed Nili, Anderson M. Winkler, Asta K. Håberg

Human Genetics Publications

The role of precise timing in episodic memory remains obscure. We showed 139 participants episodes consisting of objects, and tested subsequent memory for the precise timing and order of the objects and episodes. Temporal compression of the episode enhanced memory for relative but not absolute timing of the objects’ presentation and their order. Conversely, temporal expansion between neighboring episodes was associated with successful memory for episode order. fMRI in 36 participants revealed that temporal compression of the episode was associated with more similar activation patterns within episodes in several brain regions including the posterior hippocampus. However, the activation pattern in …

Developing A Prognostic Panel In Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer; An Immunohistochemical Study With Clinicopathological Correlation, Shaimaa M Yussif, Reham Naguib, Nahed Soliman

Mansoura Medical Journal

Introduction

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a wide range of clinical, histological, and molecular characteristics. Various diagnostic methods have been used to ascertain prognosis by evaluating various clinicopathological data, such as tumor size, nodal stage, hormone receptor status, and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) status, metastasis, tumor grade and lymphovascular emboli. Accurate substratification of prognostic groups with varying clinical outcomes is needed. This is particularly valid for cases of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to examine the immunohistochemical expression of a set of markers in hormone positive breast carcinoma cases and test …

Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear. A Short-Term Intervention Study, Mohamed Aboelnour Badran, Mohamed H. Eltahery, Abdelrahman Elganiny, Roshdy Mostafa Elsallab

Mansoura Medical Journal

Objective To compare the short-term clinical outcomes of partial meniscectomy and anatomical root repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) in terms of knee function, pain relief, and joint stability. Methods This prospective, randomized case-control study was conducted at Mansoura University’s Knee Surgery, Arthroscopy, and Sports Injuries Unit from February 2016 to August 2018. Sixty-three patients diagnosed with MMPRT were randomized into two groups: 30 underwent arthroscopic root repair (R group) with stable fixation, and 28 underwent partial meniscectomy (M group). Patient evaluation included preoperative and postoperative Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) across pain, symptoms, activities of …

Improvement Of Back Pain After Intraoperative Sacroiliac Injection During L5-S1 Fixation: A Randomized Controlled Retrospective Study, Mohamed Ali Abbas, Ahmed Zaghlol, Ayman M Ismail, Hamdy Nabwi, Mohamed Ismail, Ahmed Sameh Nada, Mona Mokhtar, Ahmed Shaker Elakhras

Mansoura Medical Journal

Background: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a common complication following lumbar spinal fusion. The purpose of this research was to determine how effective intraoperative SIJ injection in preventing low back pain after L5-S1 fixation procedures. Methods: This randomized controlled retrospective study was performed on 70 individuals who underwent L5-S1 fixation and were classified equally into two groups: Group A intraoperative SIJ injection was performed, while Group B did not. Pain incidence, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, and failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) rates were assessed preoperatively and at 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months postsurgery. Results: At 6 months, …

Study Of Prevalence Of Toxoplasmosis In Some Renal ‎Diseases In Children: Is There An Association?‎, Rowida Mokhtar Abdoullah, Sherine M. Elzeiny, Nora I. Aboulfotouh, Ayman M. Hammad

Mansoura Medical Journal

Background: Toxoplasmosis, a widespread protozoal disease caused by the obligatory intracellular Toxoplasma gondii (TG). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease characterized by progressive damage and loss in kidney functions. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is known as CKD with GFR less than 15ml/min. Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is defined as heavy proteinuria that ultimately ends in hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and generalized edema. Patients with CKD and ESRD are immune compromised so more liable to increased incidence of infections, especially opportunistic infections. Nephrotic syndrome ,90% of cases, is of unknown etiology but some papers suggest toxoplasmosis as a cause. Aim: To evaluate …

Urinary Kidney Injury Molecule-1 As A Biomarker For Detection Of Albuminuria And Retinopathy Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Amr Y. El Feky, Yehia M. Ghanem, Talaat A. Abdelaaty, Magdy M. Elbordeny, Rabab H. Neanaa

Mansoura Medical Journal

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are prevalent microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of this study was to examine the potential relevance of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1) as a marker of DKD and DR in cases who have T2DM. Methods: A cross-sectional study has been performed among 60 cases with T2DM. They were subdivided into 30 patients with albuminuria and 30 patients without albuminuria. Sociodemographic data, fundus examination, laboratory investigations involving fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, lipid profile, creatinine, and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) have been …
