This case report describes the first documented instance of a left anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) supplied by an anomalous branch from the contralateral right vertebral artery in an 88-year-old woman, a rare vascular variation successfully diagnosed using magnetic resonance angiography and cisternography.
This study validates a modified Vaccine Hesitancy Scale for pregnant women in Turkey, confirming its ability to measure pre-birth hesitancy toward childhood vaccines and demonstrating that higher hesitancy is associated with lower internal and professional health locus of control.
This case series demonstrates that intraoperative p63 immunohistochemistry, when used alongside AE1/AE3 staining during Mohs micrographic surgery for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, offers a promising advantage by providing strong tumor cell visualization while minimizing the distracting background staining of adnexal structures seen with AE1/AE3 alone.
This ten-year retrospective study of 18 pediatric patients demonstrates that the ketogenic diet is a safe and sustainable treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, effectively reducing seizure frequency in most cases while managing metabolic side effects through careful monitoring.
This study developed and validated a predictive screening model using neonatal, socioeconomic, and 24-month communication assessment data to identify preterm children at high risk for moderate to severe language disorders at age four, highlighting the combined influence of biological and environmental factors.
This case report describes the successful complete resection of a rare follicular dendritic cell sarcoma in the aortopulmonary window using a surgical strategy that prioritized proximal pulmonary artery control via the transverse pericardial sinus to safely navigate the anatomically complex region and avoid combined organ resection.
This case report describes the successful surgical treatment of a rare, significantly displaced avulsion fracture of the iliac crest apophysis in a 16-year-old male skier, highlighting operative fixation as a viable option for achieving anatomical reduction and rapid return to activity while underscoring the need for further research to establish clear surgical indications.
This study demonstrates that Parkinson's disease-related microstructural alterations measured by multiparametric MRI exhibit distinct spatial correlations with dopaminergic markers, revealing structure-specific patterns where subcortical changes align with coupled synthesis and receptor density loss, while cortical changes are driven by DAT and FDOPA, potentially indicating neuroinflammation beyond the primary nigrostriatal network.
This study demonstrates that implementing a bedside upper gastrointestinal (BUGI) protocol within the NICU for 21 neonates with bilious emesis successfully identified duodenojejunal junction positioning, minimized radiation exposure and transport risks, and facilitated the creation of a new diagnostic algorithm for evaluating bilious emesis.
This prospective study demonstrates that in patients with sinus arrhythmia undergoing ECG-triggered axial coronary CTA, an absolute-phase acquisition strategy significantly outperforms a relative-phase approach by reducing motion artifacts and improving image interpretability and diagnostic accuracy.
