Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital disorder which may result in Gl bleeding. For definite diagnosis before surgery, radiographic procedures such as small intestine barium studies are not greatly successful; on the other hand Tc-99m-Pertechnetate imaging is a physiologic and noninvasive method with high sensitivity and specificity. In this report, three patients with rectorrhagia...

abstractneuroimaging allows noninvasive evaluation of the anatomy, physiology, and function of the brain. it is widely used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment evaluation of neurological disorders as well as understanding functions of the brain in health and disease. neuroimaging modalities include x-ray computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri), single photon emis...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, affecting approximately 30% of Western populations and a frequent indication for liver transplantation. The histologic spectrum of NAFLD includes simple steatosis, which has a benign prognosis, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a more aggressive form of liver injury that may progress to cirrhosis and its...

OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the utility of electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic findings in the diagnosis of amyloidosis proven by endomyocardial biopsy. BACKGROUND Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with characteristic ECG and echocardiographic changes, yet each finding alone is relatively nonspecific. A combination of noninvasive prognostic parameters would be desirable for th...

BACKGROUND Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a remarkably high incidence worldwide, and a fairly serious prognosis, encouraging further research into advanced technologies for noninvasive methods of making early diagnoses, ideally in primary care settings. OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to examine the validity of using advanced noninvasive technologies in diagnosis of OSCC by identifying an...

This paper reviews the contemporary trends in the pathobiochemistry of neurodegenerative disorders with respect to their early predictive diagnosis and possible treatment interventions. If we consider the current epidemiological data related to neurodegenerative disorders, medicine is going to face in the near future latent pandemic situations. The introduction puts an emphasis on the emerging ...

A major hallmark of classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is genital ambiguity noted at birth in affected females, which leads to psychological and psychosexual issues in adult life. Attempts to correct genital ambiguity through surgical intervention have been partially successful. Fetal hyperandrogenemia and genital ambiguity have been shown to be preventable by prenatal administratio...

Abstract Introduction: The diagnosis of thyroid tumors arising from follicular cells that are encapsulated/well delimited and noninvasive is a challenge. When unequivocal nuclear alterations present, the final can range neoplasm with papillary-like features (NIFTP) classical/encapsulated papillary cancer (PTC), including aggressive subtypes, to poorly differentiated carcinoma. As proposed recen...
