Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the value of adding MR arthrography to standard MRI for patients with chronic wrist disorders. Thirty consecutive patients (age range, 19-73 years; mean, 36.2 years) were included in the investigation. The images were evaluated blindly and separately by two radiologists with regard to lesions of the scapholunate (SL) and lunotriquetral (LT) ligaments and the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC). Conventional two- or three-compartment arthrography was used as the standard of reference. For TFC lesions, standard MR images had a sensitivity of 92.3% (reader 1) and 84.6% (reader 2) and a specificity of 41.2% (reader 1) and 52.9% (reader 2). For MR arthrography, sensitivity was 84.6% (reader 1) and 84.6% (reader 2) and specificity was 88.2% (reader 1) and 100% (reader 2). For SL ligament tears, standard MRI had a sensitivity of 33.3% (reader 1) and 11.1% (reader 2) and a specificity of 47.6% (reader 1) and 57.1% (reader 2). For MR arthrography, sensitivity was 66.7% (reader 1) and 55.6% (reader 2) and specificity was 52.4% (reader 1) and 81.0% (reader 2). For LT ligament tears, standard MRI had a sensitivity of 28.6% (reader 1) and 35.7% (reader 2) and a specificity of 93.8% (reader 1) and 81.3% ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
