PURPOSE: Studies examining mortality in palliative care units are limited. We aimed to investigate the mortality and associated factors including ultrasonographic muscle parameters in hospitalized palliative patients with a subgroup analysis of older patients. METHODS: A prospective-observational study. We recorded the demographics, number of diseases, diagnoses, and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), palliative performance scale (PPS), and nutritional risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002) scores...

Rare case of lupus mastitis in a 58-year-old female with discoid lupus erythematosus presented with fever, left breast swelling, and painful palpable lesion. Accurate imaging and histopathologic evaluation allowed for appropriate management and regression of breast findings with hydroxychloroquine treatment, emphasizing the need to avoid unnecessary biopsies and surgeries.

INTRODUCTION: Body packing is one of the most common methods used in the transboundary trafficking of illicit drugs. These drugs are packaged in capsules and taken orally or inserted into the rectum or vagina. Its diagnosis is, therefore, difficult. Methods like x-ray, ultrasonography, and computed tomography (CT) are usually used to diagnose body packers. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic power and feasibility of ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool in patients who have a suspicion of being body packers...

OBJECTIVES: The accuracy of ultrasound in the detection of appendicitis in pregnant women was examined in a meta-analysis. METHODS: Pregnant women with suspected acute appendicitis were evaluated using ultrasound in a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases from January 1, 2011 to August 10, 2023. The sensitivity and specificity values and diagnostic odds ratios were obtained using the pooled data. RESULTS: A total of 239 patients were studied in four relevant investigations...

MVFlow™ is a 3D algorithm that enhances the study of the microvasculature, useful in the study of tumoral lesions or in assessing the slow-flow of the placenta vessels and the developing fetal brain. It may improve the study of the corpus callosum in normal fetuses and be applied in the characterization of brain pathologies.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the specific ultrasonic manifestations of lower limb joints and impaired kidney function in gouty arthritis. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 408 patients with gouty arthritis were divided into two groups based on the status of renal function: normal group (n = 240) and renal impairment (n = 168) group. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of the bilateral knee, ankle, and first metatarsophalangeal joints to detect ultrasound features of double-contour sign (DC) and tophus...

BACKGROUND: Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most common cancer, and is also the main cause of cancer death for women worldwide. Breast cancer <1 cm showed excellent survival rate. However, the diagnosis of minimal breast cancer (MBC) is challenging. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our research is to develop and validate an radiomics model based on ultrasound images for early recognition of MBC. METHODS: 302 breast masses with a diameter of <10 mm were retrospectively studied, including 159 benign and 143 malignant breast masses...

To present the concept of a portable ultrasound tomography device for diagnosing traumatic and vascular brain lesions. The device consisting of multiple transcranial ultrasound probes placed on the surface of the head, specifically but not exclusively in natural acoustic windows. An integral part of the mobile diagnostic system (MDS) is a decision support system based on artificial intelligence algorithms utilizing information from: head images, laboratory data, and assessment of the patient's clinical condition...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the association between Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and the H2FPEF score in patients with unexplained dyspnea and a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on patients with unexplained dyspnea and a preserved LVEF in the Cardiology Department of Elazıg Medical Park Hospital, Turkey. The patients were evaluated based on the presence of DM and the H2FPEF score...

PURPOSE: Metastases are the most common neoplasm in the adult brain. In order to initiate the treatment, an extensive diagnostic workup is usually required. Radiomics is a discipline aimed at transforming visual data in radiological images into reliable diagnostic information. We aimed to examine the capability of deep learning methods to classify the origin of metastatic lesions in brain MRIs and compare the deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods with image texture based features...

The authors showed a case of left mediastinal retraction associated with massive left lung collapse suspected after easy visualization of the heart on all scans of the anterolateral left hemithorax. In fact, the figure shows that the apex of the ventricle was visible at the level of the pleural line in the left hemithorax (usually not visible due to pulmonary air artifacts).
