Impact of Carotid Artery Geometry and Clinical Risk Factors on Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Prevalence.

Carotid geometry and cardiovascular risk factors play a significant role in the development of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between carotid plaque formation and carotid artery geometry characteristics. A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was performed on 1227 patients, categorized into a normal group (n = 685) and carotid plaque groups causing either mild stenosis (<50% stenosis based on NASCET criteria, n = 385) or moderate-to-severe stenosis (>50%, n = 232).

Impact of aorto-iliac hemodynamics and geometry on thrombotic complications following abdominal aortic endovascular aneurysm repair.

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between hemodynamic and geometry factors and the risk of thrombosis following aortic endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 47 patients underwent abdominal EVAR. 29 thrombotic iliac limbs were compared with 65 normal iliac limbs.

Intraplaque hemorrhage volume in patients with carotid atherosclerosis: How informative is it?

Background And Purpose: Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) of carotid atherosclerosis is an important feature in complex lesions preceding acute stroke events. The current study aimed to determine the role played by IPH volume compared to that of carotid stenosis or maximal wall thickness in patients with carotid IPH.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 233 patients who presented with carotid IPH on vessel wall imaging (VWI).

Correlation between common iliac vein geometry and the risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients with May-Thurner syndrome.

Background: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a continuous pathological change of the left common iliac vein intraluminal wall due to compression between the right common iliac artery and a lumbar vertebra, with clinical signs of compromised venous drainage of the left leg, which eventually leads to development of left-sided deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between iliac vessel geometry and probability of DVT in patients with MTS.

Material And Methods: This study consists of two age-matched female groups: DVT (n = 21) and control (n = 28).

Geometric changes and clinical risk factors from aortic arch to proximal internal carotid artery between normal subjects and moderate right carotid plaques.

The anatomical features spanning from the aortic arch to the proximal carotid artery and the associated cardiovascular risks might significantly influence the development of right carotid plaque. Our research aimed to compare these anatomical and risk factors between individuals with no carotid plaque and those with moderate right-side carotid plaque within a Korean cohort. We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis involving 413 participants, categorized into a normal group (n = 339) and a right moderate carotid plaque group (defined as > 50% stenosis based on NASCET criteria) (n = 74).

Multiple system atrophy-cerebellar: A case report and literature review.

We reported a case of a 48-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital due to balance disorder which progressed rapidly within 1 week. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed significant atrophy and hyperintensities at the middle cerebellar peduncles and the "hot cross bun" sign of the pons. The final diagnosis was probable multiple system atrophy, cerebellar subtype.

Complicated breast augmentation via self-injection of ultrasound gel and shoe glue: A case report.

Various types of dermal fillers have been developing for soft tissue augmentation. Even though many fillers have been approved and strictly regulated by authorities, homemade products for body contouring procedures are widely available and easily purchased on websites without prescriptions. It is challenging for radiologists to interpret radiological findings of complicated breast augmentation of unknown origin.

Hereditary multiple exostoses: A case report and literature review.

Osteochondroma is the most common bone tumor representing 20%-50% of all benign bone tumors and 10%-15% of all bone tumors. Osteochondroma has similar radiological appearance in both solitary and multiple forms; the latter is an autosomal dominant disorder termed hereditary multiple exostoses. Associated complications of osteochondroma include deformity, fracture, neurovascular compromise, bursa formation, and malignant transformation.

Magnetic resonance imaging as a first-choice imaging modality in carpal tunnel syndrome: new evidence.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of peripheral nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming more popular in practice in the evaluation of CTS.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in CTS.

Isolated arterial pulmonary malinosculation without sequestration in an adult: A case report and literature review.

Abnormal connections between systemic and pulmonary vascular systems are rare conditions and have been mostly documented in the pediatric population. We report a case of type B isolated arterial pulmonary malinosculation in an adult. The patient's chief complaint was intermittent hemoptysis during physical exertion.

Giant lumbar spinal schwannoma: a case report and literature review.

We report a case of a 40-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital due to lumbar pain that spread to both legs and was associated with weakness of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural - extramedullary tumor at the level of the T12 - L2 vertebra. The lesion was over 7 cm in greatest diameter and compressed the conus medullaris.

Synchronous Renal Cell Carcinoma and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The coexistence of multiple synchronous primary malignancies is uncommon. The coexistence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is even rarer. We present a case of a 44-year-old male patient with a history of chronic hepatitis B and a right renal mass treated by radical nephrectomy.

Evaluation of the Insall-Salvati Ratio Among the Vietnamese Population: Application for Diagnosis of Patellar Malalignment.

Introduction And Purpose: An abnormal patellar position has been proven to be associated with anterior knee pain and several other conditions that affect the patellofemoral joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of patella alta and patella baja and the applicability of the normal range of the Insall-Salvati ratio in the Vietnamese population.

Methodology: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine 455 Vietnamese subjects' knees.

Cerebral venous thrombosis: report of 2 cases of hemorrhagic venous infarction.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare but potentially severe cerebrovascular disease, is defined as the thrombosis of a cortical or deep cerebral vein, or a cerebral venous sinus. This article reports 2 cases of CVT. In the first case, the patient is a 40-year-old woman with a history of 2 miscarriages, using oral contraception and presenting intense headache, cervical irradiation, and drowsiness.
