Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between the position of impacted mandibular third molars and the morphology of the lingual cortical bone using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to determine how impaction...

Objective: To develop and validate a radiomics-based MRI model for prediction of diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TGCT), which has higher postoperative recurrence and more aggressive behavior than localized-type (L-TGCT). The study was c...

Background: Blood collection tubes (BCTs) are critical in vitro diagnostic devices used in clinical laboratory testing. Innomed tubes are novel BCTs coated with heparin and anti-glycolytic agents (Innomed 1) and clot activators combined with anti-gly...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1 is a painful and disabling localized syndrome with a pathogenesis that is still unclear. The last revised diagnostic criteria for CRPS-1 syndrome were developed in 2012 (the so-called Budapest criteria), b...

Congenital agenesis of the tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle is an extremely rare anomaly, with very few reports in the literature and unclear clinical significance. We report the incidental finding of unilateral TFL agenesis in a 25-year-old male phys...

Introduction: Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign breast lesion characterized by stromal myofibroblast proliferation forming slit-like pseudoangiomatous spaces. Although most frequently diagnosed in premenopausal women, it has al...
