Arcuate uterus | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org
An arcuate uterus is a mildly variant shape of the uterus. It is technically one of the Müllerian duct anomalies, but is often classified as a normal variant. It is the uterine anomaly that is least commonlyassociated with reproductive failure. Arcuate uterus can be characterized with ultrasound or MRI. An arcuate uterus is characterized by a mild indentation of the endometrium at the uterine fundus.
Scleroderma (pulmonary manifestations)
Pulmonary manifestations of scleroderma are demonstrated histologically in 90% of patients with scleroderma. It is a leading cause of mortality and at autopsy the lung is reportedly involved in close to 100% of cases. However, only 25% of patients will present with respiratory symptoms or demonstrate abnormalities on CT 4. For a discussion of scleroderma in general, refer to parent article: scleroderma.
Unicornuate uterus
A unicornuate uterus or unicornis unicollis is a type of Müllerian duct anomaly (class II). It is also known as a banana-shaped uterus6,7, because of the shape the single horn assumes, and it usually drains into a single fallopian tube. This type can account for ~10% (range 6-13%) of uterine anomalies and infertility is seen in ~12.5% (range 5-20%) of cases.
Rectal cancer (staging)
Staging of rectal cancer uses the TNM staging system and strongly predicts the success, and rate, of local recurrence following rectal cancer resection. MRI is the modality of choice for the staging of rectal cancer, to guide surgical and non-surgical management options. MRI is used at diagnosis, following downstaging chemoradiotherapy, and in follow-up, if a non-operative approach is used.
Giant hepatic hemangioma
Giant hepatic hemangiomas, also known as giant hepatic venous malformations, are relatively uncommon non-neoplastic vascular lesions of the liver, which can be strikingly large and mimic tumors. It is important to note that according to newer nomenclature, these lesions are known as venous malformations (ISSVA classification of vascular anomalies) 7.
Pelvic protocol for endometriosis (MRI)
Evaluation of known endometriosis with MRI requires a slightly different protocol to a routine pelvic MRI (see pelvic MRI protocol: routine) and should probably be reserved for known cases of endometriosis rather than for the assessment of pelvic pain. IV or IM Buscopan is administered to reduce bowel peristalsis and hence improve image quality.
Septate uterus | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org
A septate uterus is the most common type of congenital uterine anomaly, and may lead to an increased rate of pregnancy loss. The main imaging differential diagnoses are arcuate uterus and bicornuate uterus. It is considered the most common uterine anomaly (accounts for ~55% of such anomalies). It is classified as a class V Müllerian duct anomaly.
Endometriosis | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org
Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynecological condition defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma-like lesions outside the uterus. It manifests in three ways: superficial (peritoneal) disease, ovarian disease (endometriomas), and deep endometriosis. Endometriosis is highly associated with adenomyosis (in which endometrial tissue is confined to the uterine musculature).

Using gamma-band transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to improve sleep quality and cognition in patients with mild neurocognitive disorders due to Alzheimer’s disease: A study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (pdf) | Paperity
PLOS ONE, Aug 2023 Background Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in patients with age-related neurodegenerative diseases, which severely affect cognition and even lead to accumulated β-amyloid. Encouraging results from recent studies on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) showed moderate positive effects on sleep quality in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Imputing Missing Values in the US Census Bureau's County Business Patterns [01/21] [NBER WP #26632] Abstract: The County Business Patterns data published by the US Census Bureau track employment by county and industry from 1946 to the present. Two features of the data limit their usefulness to researchers: (1) employment for the majority of county-industry cells is suppressed to protect confidentiality, and (2) industry classifications change over time. We address both issues.
The top 100 most cited articles in medical artificial intelligence: a bibliometric analysis
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is a general term used to describe machines and computers performing tasks usually requiring human intelligence (1). There has been interest in the application of AI in medicine since the 1950s (2). Since then, computer scientists and medical researchers have continued to investigate the use of AI in almost every field of medicine (2).
