Transmastoid pediatric penetrating brain injury, interdisciplinary, and tailored patient's treatment
CONCLUSION: Radiological tools, notably skull X-rays and head CT scans, are pivotal for the precise diagnosis of pediatric PBI. The combined mastoidectomy and retro sigmoid craniotomy approach offers a safe and efficient means of foreign body removal. Tailoring treatments to individual patient needs enhances outcomes.PMID:38628538 | PMC:PMC11021077 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_18_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

High-energy X-ray diffraction experiment employing a compact synchrotron X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering
This study demonstrates high-energy XRD at an ICS with strongly absorbing mineralogical samples embedded in soft tissue. A quantitative comparison of the measured XRD patterns with calculations of their expected shapes validates the performance of ICSs for XRD. This analysis was performed for two types of kidney stones of different materials. Since these stones are not isolated in a human body, the influence of the surrounding soft tissue on the XRD pattern is investigated and a correction for this soft tissue contribution is introduced.PMID:38631968 | DOI:10.1016/j.zemedi.2024.03.003 (Source: Zeitschrift fur Medizinische Physik)

Synchrotron infrared nanospectroscopy in fourth-generation storage rings
Fourth-generation synchrotron storage rings represent a significant milestone in synchrotron technology, offering outstandingly bright and tightly focused X-ray beams for a wide range of scientific applications. However, due to their inherently tight magnetic lattices, these storage rings have posed critical challenges for accessing lower-energy radiation, such as infrared (IR) and THz. Here the first-ever IR beamline to be installed and to operate at a fourth-generation synchrotron storage ring is introduced. This work encompasses several notable advancements, including a thorough examination of the new IR source at Siriu...

Isolated dentinogenesis imperfecta: Novel DSPP variants and insights on genetic counselling
Conclusions and clinical relevanceOur study extends the number ofDSPP pathogenic variants and strengthens the fact thatDSPP is the most common DI causative gene irrespective of patients ’ ethnicity. In addition, we provide insights on genetic counseling issues in patients with inheritedDSPP variants taking into consideration the variable religion, culture and laws in our society.

The chest X-ray score baseline in predicting continuous oxygen therapy failure in low-risk aged patients after thoracic surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The RALE score predict the risk of COT failure in elderly, low-risk thoracic patients better than the Brixia score. This simple, cheap, and noninvasive method helps evaluate postoperative lung damage, monitor treatment response, and provide early warning for oxygen therapy escalation. Further studies are required to confirm the validity and applicability of this model in different settings and populations.PMID:38617782 | PMC:PMC11009605 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1786 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Analysis of a Serious Adverse Reaction of Pulmonary Fibrosis Caused by Dronedarone
CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended that clinicians monitor the diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide and lung ventilation function of patients before and after using dronedarone for treatment. For patients with a history of amiodarone exposure, intermittent monitoring of chest X-rays and lung function is necessary. If lung function decreases, dronedarone should be immediately discontinued.PMID:38617895 | PMC:PMC11015333 | DOI:10.1016/j.curtheres.2024.100743 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)
