A Technique to Determine Coordinates of the Patellar Entry Point and Transition Point of the Patellofemoral Joint Using Computed Tomography Scans

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Patellas of patellofemoral instability patients typically have more lateral entry points into their proximal trochleas. They also generally have more shallow or convex proximal trochlear grooves, leading to trochlear transition points where the grooves straighten distally.

A new computed tomography‐based approach to quantify swallowing muscle volume by measuring tongue muscle area in a single slice

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Measuring the swallowing muscle mass with volume measurements is complex and time intensive; therefore, it is not used in clinical practice. However, it can be clinically relevant, for instance, in the case of sarcopenic dysphagia.

Lifespan Pancreas Morphology for Control Versus Type 2 Diabetes Using AI on Largescale Clinical Imaging

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how pancreas size and shape change with normal aging is critical for establishing a baseline to detect deviations in type 2 diabetes and other pancreatic disease. We measure pancreas size and shape using morphological measurements from early development through aging (ages 0–90).

Radiologic, Histologic and Scanning Electron Microscopic Characterization of the Peritoneal Reflection in Crohn's Disease

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The peritoneal reflection bridges visceral and parietal peritoneum and lacks adjoining or underlying organs. As such it provides an opportunity to perform a focussed examination of the peritoneum in Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to exploit this anatomical property and conduct a multilayered, focussed examination of the peritoneal ...

Prognostic Effect of Preoperative Psoas Muscle Hounsfield Unit at Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer

, 2021
Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for patients with advanced bladder cancer. Since RC is a highly invasive procedure, the surgical indications in an aging society must be carefully judged.

Low‐intensity focused ultrasound neuromodulation for drug‐resistant epilepsy: A randomized, sham‐controlled crossover trial

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of low‐intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) as a noninvasive neuromodulation technique in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). Methods In this pilot, single‐blind, randomized sham‐controlled crossover trial, 12 patients with DRE underwent both LIFU and
