Comparison of unilateral and bilateral percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for management of malignant hilar biliary obstruction: Effects on inflammation and outcomes
Biliary obstructions are often caused by benign conditions such as choledocholithiasis (stones in the bile duct) and post-cholecystectomy strictures. However, malignant hilar biliary obstructions (MHBO) are associated with more severe conditions, including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, lymphatic compression, or metastasis. These conditions contribute to the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with biliary obstructions [1,2]. Curative surgical resection is the most effective m…

Impact of spectrum bias on deep learning–based stroke MRI analysis
A diagnostic test typically involves defining thresholds to classify patients as healthy or sick [1]. This concept applies to both human-driven and machine-assisted diagnostic processes. However, diagnoses are constructed categories designed to classify complex pathological processes [2].

Absence of T2 flow voids in the vertebral arteries on cervical spine MRI in patients with trauma
Cervical spine trauma is a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality, often resulting in devastating neurological consequences [1]. Blunt vertebral artery (VA) injury is an increasingly recognized complication in patients with cervical spine trauma, with an incidence ranging up to 17 % [2]. The VAs are crucial vessels supplying blood flow to the brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord. VA injuries are often initially asymptomatic but carry a significant stroke risk of 5.3 %, which can lead to…

The effect of diabetes on plaque, stenosis, and coronary artery calcium score
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health issue and a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which contributes to up to 80 % of deaths in individuals with diabetes.1 The elevated risk is primarily due to hyperglycemia-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, leading to increased coronary plaque burden and rupture risk. Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) enables detailed assessment of plaque burden using metrics …
