1. Diffusion-weighted imaging versus non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis during pregnancy
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging compared to non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis in pregnant patients. METHODS: A total of 72 pregnant patients with the suspicion of acute appendicitis who underwent magnetic resonance ima

2. The added value of non-contrast 3-Tesla MRI for the pre-operative localization of hyperparathyroidism
Abstract Objective: We investigated the efficacy of non-contrast 3-Tesla MR imaging added to the combination of sestamibi with99mTc (MIBI) scintigraphy and Ultrasonography (US) for the pre-operative localization of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) lesions. Methods: A total of 34 parathyroid glands, including nine normal glands, were examined with MIBI, U

3. The impact of multimodality integrated positron emission tomography-computed tomography on improving the staging and management of head and neck malignancy: a cross- sectional study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Clinical assessment of head and neck cancers is highly challenging owing to the complexity of regional anatomy and wide range of lesions. The diagnostic evaluation includes detailed physical examination, biopsy and imaging modalities for disease extent and staging. Appropriate imaging is done to enable determination of precise tumor ext

4. Evaluation of contrast sensitivity in non-high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy treated with panretinal photocoagulation with and without intravitreal injections of ranibizumab
RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar a sensibilidade ao contraste em pacientes virgens de tratamento com retinopatia diabética proliferativa de não alto risco, submetidos a panfotocoagulação retiniana com injeções intravítreas de ranibizumabe versus panfotocoagulação isolada. Métodos: Sessenta olhos de 30 pacientes foram randomizados em dois grupos: um subm

5. Rapid Recognizing the Producing Area of a Tobacco Leaf Using Near-Infrared Technology and a Multi-Layer Extreme Learning Machine Algorithm
A novel recognition method was put forward to identify the producing areas of the flue-cured tobacco leaves rapidly and non-destructively by using a near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer and a multi-layer-extreme learning machine (ML-ELM) algorithm. In contrast to traditional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithms, the ac

6. Comparison of Clinical Examination and Various Imaging Modalities in the Diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer
Abstract Introduction Squamous cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (HNSCC) is the most common tumor entity of malignant processes in the head and neck area. Due to the metastasizing behavior of these tumors, the staging is indispensable for the treatment planning and requires imaging techniques, which are sensitive, specific, and as far as possible cost-eff

7. Effect of free fatty acids on insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and incretin effect – a narrative review
ABSTRACT Deleterious effects of free fatty acids, FFAs, on insulin sensitivity are observed in vivo studies in humans. Mechanisms include impaired insulin signaling, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, but the effects on insulin secretion are less well known. Our aim was to review the relationship of increased FFAs with insulin res

9. Impact of Continuing Education on the Quality of Blood Pressure Measurement
The properties of lanthanides allow them to be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, thereby helping to differentiate between tissues, organs, and pathologies more efficiently. Lanthanides contain thermosensitive energy levels that aid identification of cancer and healthy cells. This work investigates the GdVO4 matrix obtained by the non-hy
