Whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) scans are frequently used for trauma patients, and sometimes, nontraumatic findings are observed. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of patients with nontraumatic findings on WBCT. From 2013 to 2016, adult trauma patients who underwent WBCT were enrolled. The proportions of nontraumatic findings in different anatomical regions were studied. Nontraumatic findings were classified and evaluated as clinically important findings and findings that needed no further follow-up or treatment. The characteristics of the patients with nontraumatic findings were analyzed and compared with those of patients without nontraumatic findings. Two hundred seventeen patients were enrolled in this study during the 3-year study period, and 89 (41.0%) patients had nontraumatic findings. Nontraumatic findings were found more frequently in the abdomen (69.2%) than in the head/neck (17.3%) and chest regions (13.5%). In total, 31.3% of the findings needed further follow-up or treatments or the head/neck region of female patients. A comprehensive program for the follow-up of nontraumatic findings is needed. Intermittent theta burst stimulation is a varied form of repetitive transcranial magnetic non-invasive brain stimulation technique used to treat several neurological and psychiatric disorders. Its feasibility and therapeutic effects on the bilateral posterior superior temporal sulcus in children with autism are unknown. We conducted a single-blind, sham-controlled parallel randomized clinical trial in a hitherto largest sample of intellectually able children with autism (  = 78). Participants randomized to the active group received two-session/week intermittent theta burst stimulation for continuous 8 weeks. Those in the sham group received two-session/week sham stimulations in the first 4 weeks and then active intervention for the following 4 weeks after unblinding. First, we found that continuous 8-week intermittent theta burst stimulation on the bilateral posterior superior temporal sulcus in children with autism is safe and tolerable. Second, we found that 8-week intermittent theta burst stimulation prverity at baseline, were more likely to be responders. This study identified that the factors contribute to responders and the results suggest that longer courses of non-invasive brain stimulation may be needed to produce therapeutic benefits in autism, with consideration of heterogeneous responses.Quick screening patients with COVID-19 is the most important way of controlling transmission by isolation and medical treatment. Chest computed tomography (CT) has been widely used during the initial screening process, including pneumonia diagnosis, severity assessment, and differential diagnosis of COVID-19. The course of COVID-19 changes rapidly. Serial CT imaging could observe the distribution, density, and range of lesions dynamically, monitor the changes, and then guide towards appropriate treatment. The aim of the review was to explore the chest CT findings and dynamic CT changes of COVID-19 using systematic evaluation methods, instructing the clinical imaging diagnosis. A systematic literature search was performed. The quality of included literature was evaluated with a quality assessment tool, followed by data extraction and meta-analysis. Homogeneity and publishing bias were analyzed. A total of 109 articles were included, involving 2908 adults with COVID-19. The lesions often occurred in bilateral lungs (74%) and were multifocal (77%) with subpleural distribution (81%). Lesions often showed ground-glass opacity (GGO) (68%), followed by GGO with consolidation (48%). The thickening of small vessels (70%) and thickening of intralobular septum (53%) were also common. The dynamic changes of chest CT manifestations showed that lesions were absorbed and improved gradually after reaching the peak (80%), had progressive deterioration (55%), were absorbed and improved gradually (46%), fluctuated (22%), or remained stable (26%). The review showed the common and key CT features and the dynamic imaging change patterns of COVID-19, helping with timely management during COVID-19 pandemic. Tendinosis in the common extensor tendon and accompanying ligament, bone, and plica abnormalities can be observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To determine whether there is a difference between accompanying abnormalities according to the degree of common extensor tendon injury. Patients who underwent 1.5-T MRI tests with a prediagnosis of lateral overuse syndrome were retrospectively reviewed, and 56 patients who had an injury in the common extensor tendon (CET) were included. The degree of tendon and ligament injury, muscle signal change, bone marrow signal change, presence of joint effusion, and morphological features in the presence of plica were evaluated via MRI examinations of the elbow. Overall, 32, 16, and eight patients had mild, moderate, and severe CET damage, respectively. As the severity of CET damage increased, the presence of joint effusion, and the presence and degree of damage to the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) and radial collateral ligament (RCL) increased. The radiohumeral (RH) plica area was significantly larger in the group with mild CET damage. There was no statistically significant correlation between the severity of CET damage and the end of RH plica with a blind-end, coverage of one-third or more of the radius, its signal, thickness, and presence of olecranon fold. As the severity of CET injury increases, damage to the LUCL, RCL, and the presence of effusion in the joint increases. RH plica should be evaluated in terms of concomitant pathology in patients with mild CET injuries on MRI. As the severity of CET injury increases, damage to the LUCL, RCL, and the presence of effusion in the joint increases. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gsk2636771.html RH plica should be evaluated in terms of concomitant pathology in patients with mild CET injuries on MRI.In reference to the article by Láinez Ramos-Bossini AJ et al., recently published in your Journal, we would like to provide our experience regarding a probable causal association between pneumoperitoneum and pneumatosis intestinalis in patients affected by COVID-19 (1).
