?? Exciting News! ?? We are happy to share the publication of our latest research article in the MDPI Journal of Imaging! Our work, titled Morphological Changes of the Pituitary Gland in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. ???? ?? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d-T9M8Jv ?? Special thanks to my talented sisters and co-authors: Jessica Abou Chaaya, Jennyfer Abou Chaaya, Batoul Jaafar MD, Lea Saab, Elie Al Ahmar and Elias Estephan Our paper contributes by identifying morphological changes in the pituitary gland of IBS patients through MRI, highlighting potential neuroendocrine disruptions linked to IBS. This could lead to new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the stress-hormone connection in gastrointestinal disorders These insights support the role of non-invasive MRI in exploring neuroendocrine functions and advancing both clinical and research approaches to IBS management #Research #Imaging #ImageProcessing #Neuroendocrinology #MRI #IBS #HealthcareInnovation

Because several techniques exist for reconstructing partial hypopharyngeal defects following a total laryngectomy - for which no international consensus exists - we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the complication rates and functional results of commonly used reconstructive techniques. Pectoralis major myofascial flaps showed promising results compared to free flap reconstructions, with similar rates of fistulas, strictures and flap failure. In contrast, pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps had a significantly higher fistula rate (34%) compared to other flap types (range: 7–17%), whereas no differences were observed for strictures, flap failure or oral intake. In conclusion, free flaps and pectoralis major myofascial flaps should be considered the preferred methods for the reconstruction of partial hypopharyngeal defects following total laryngectomy.

New clinical data supporting the value of image-guided VT ablations! A recent article in the Heart Rhythm Journal confirmed a correlation between VT isthmus location and areas of ventricular wall thinning. "If the reentrant VT isthmus could be completely and accurately mapped from imaging done prior to EP study, then the ablation procedure would be simplified and the procedure time shortened with better efficacy and safety.” Read the full article here! https://lnkd.in/ggEhHWKC Heart Rhythm Society European Society of Cardiology Edward Ciaccio Nicolas Cedilnik Henry Hsia Angelo Biviano Hasan Garan Hirad Yarmohammadi #inheart

???? Neuroimaging is indispensable for any clinician working with disorders affecting the afferent and efferent visual pathways. It is essential for both the diagnostic evaluation and for the subsequent guidance of management. Our recent paper by Sanja Cejvanovic et al., now out in Eye (Nature), offers evidence-based insights into CT and MRI utilization for brain, orbit, and spinal cord via four selected clinical cases. Thanks for the great collaboration to Zahir Sheikh and Prem Subramanian, MD, PhD! ??

?? Exciting Update in Medical Literature! ?? A recent case report and literature review on "Asia Syndrome and Breast Implants." by Dr. Vargas Hernández Victor Manuel and Dr. Vargas Aguilar Victor Manuel from Department of Gynecologic Oncologic, Medicine Reproductive, Academia Mexicana de Cirugía, Mexico Academia Nacional de Medicine de México, USA ???? ?? In this comprehensive review, they explore the unique case that sheds light on the relationship between Asia Syndrome and breast implants. ?? ?? Asia Syndrome, also known as ASIA (Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), has been a topic of interest in the medical community. This case provides valuable insights into potential associations with breast implants. ?? The literature review delves into existing research, offering a broader perspective on the complexities surrounding autoimmune responses and adjuvant materials. ??
