Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy arising from the nasopharyngeal mucosa [1]. This malignancy demonstrates a notable geographical variation in incidence, being highly prevalent in regions such as South China, Southeast Asia, and North Africa, where incidence rates range from 10 to 30 per 100,000 individuals annually [2]. Radiotherapy, particularly intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), is a critical and highly effective treatment for NPC, significantly improving survival outc…

Accelerating non-contrast MR angiography of the thoracic aorta using compressed SENSE with deep learning reconstruction
Diseases of the thoracic aorta, including aneurysms, dissection, and stenosis are often asymptomatic for a long time and only recognized when acute, life-threatening complications arise [1]. Early diagnosis and regular follow-up are crucial for risk stratification and treatment planning, especially in high-risk populations with connective tissue disorders like Marfan or Loeys-Dietz syndrome [2].

Expression of Concern “Role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in decision support for diagnosis and treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation”. Qiang Lu et al. European Journal of Radiology, volume 81, issue 3, March 2012, pages e338-e343. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrad.2011.11.015
Concerns have been raised that the organ transplants described within the above article carry risks of having been procured unethically [1].

Short occipital circulation time derived from quantitative digital subtraction angiography is associated with headache risk in patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations
Brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) are abnormal artery–vein connections that are formed through a nidus, without interposing capillaries. A study involving 3299 patients with BAVMs reported that the most common initial presentation was hemorrhage (58 %), followed by seizures (21 %), chronic headache (15 %), and focal neurological deficits (5 %); in some cases, incidental findings led to the diagnosis of BAVMs (1 %).[1] BAVMs are treated using multimodal approaches, such as microsurgery, e…

Preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma using gadoxetic acid-enhanced golden-angle radial sparse parallel dynamic MRI
To investigate the predictive value of preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced quantitative golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) dynamic MRI for microvascular invasion (MVI) status in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The central dorsal component of the dorsoradial ligament of the trapeziometacarpal joint: Cadaveric and sonographic validation
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is highly prevalent, affecting between 60 % and 94 % of women over the age of 80 [1]. This high prevalence has prompted extensive research into the anatomical, biomechanical, and pathophysiological characteristics of this condition [2–7]. Degenerative changes in the TMC joint are closely associated with ligamentous laxity and joint subluxation [2,3].

Predictive performance of distinct skeletal muscle index cut-offs-defined sarcopenia for long-term mortality in decompensated cirrhosis: A prospective observational study
Sarcopenia is referring to a progressive and generalized muscle disorder, characterized by wasted muscle strength, reduced muscle mass and declined physical performance [1]. Although this pathological entity has originally derived from geriatrics, mainly attributable to ageing process, mounting evidence has highlighted the clinical implication and prognostic value of sarcopenia among patients with cirrhosis at different stages by us and others [2–5]. The pathogenesis and precipitating factor of …
