Abstract	Purpose: To compare the correlation between 2D transperineal ultrasonography and physical examination (intravaginal palpation) for assessing pelvic floor and levator ani function. Methods: Due to symptoms of pelvic floor disorder, 40 women between the ages of 29 and 75 were enrolled in this study as candidates for urodynamic and structural evaluation of the pelvic floor. A pelvic floor gynaecologist and radiologist assessed the levator ani function via physical examination (graded based on the Oxford Grading System) and transperineal 2D ultrasound, respectively. Results: The ultrasound parameters for calculating the Levator Ani Index (LAI) demonstrate a difference between the anteroposterior dimension of the levator hiatus (r = 0.691, p < 0.001) and the cranial shift of muscle (r = 0.499, p < 0.001) at rest and during a squeezing manoeuvre in the mid-sagittal plane. Reduced anteroposterior diameter of the hiatus and increased cranial shift were associated with a higher Oxford Physical Examination Score (OPES). The association between LAI and OPES was independent of baseline variables such as age, BMI, number of births, and the presence of incontinence symptoms. Conclusion: Measures such as the LAI can be used to quantify the function of the levator ani muscle, which may be useful for evaluating the efficacy of pelvic floor physiotherapy and exercise.

Abstract	Background: Researchers have recently focused on assessing the accuracy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in predicting pelvic lymph node metastases in gynecological malignancies. Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of DW-MRI in discriminating between metastatic and non-metastatic pelvic lymph nodes in endometrial cancer patients. Material and methods: This retrospective database study was conducted with 33 women aged 30-84 years with pathologically proven endometrial cancer that had been assessed by DW-MRI before their first treatment initiation at our referral hospital from March 2016 to April 2019. The diffusion technique (b = 50, 400, and 1000 mm Results: In total, 48 lymph nodes from 33 patients were assessed. All metastatic lymph nodes were restricted, while among the non-metastatic lymph nodes, only 19.3% were restricted. Considering pathological reports of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes as the gold standard, DWI-related restricted and non-restricted features had a sensitivity of 80.6%, a specificity of 100%, and an accuracy of 87.5% to discriminate between a metastatic and non-metastatic pattern. ADC metrics of ADC Conclusion: DW-MRI is a useful quantitative tool for differentiating between metastatic and benign lymph nodes in endometrial cancer patients.

Abstract	Background: Inflammation plays a major role in coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Factors that convey information about the status of inflammation could predict disease severity and help identify patients prone to clinical deterioration. Here, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of inflammatory markers on the extent of lung involvement and survival of patients with COVID-19. Materials and methods: Eighty patients with confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected at admission. All patients underwent chest computed tomography (CT); the extent of lung involvement was assessed by a scoring system. Patients were followed up until death or discharge occurred. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association of investigated variables with COVID-19-related death. The association between different variables and CT score was assessed using linear regression model. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was applied to identify the predictive value of inflammatory markers and CT score on survival. Results: The mean age of patients was 54.2 ± 15.2 years; 65% were male. Increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (β =0.69, odds ratio [OR] =1.50), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (β =0.019, OR = 1.01), and decreased lymphocyte to C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) (β = -0.35, OR = 0.62) were significantly associated with a higher CT score and increased odds of death ( Conclusion: Daily-performed laboratory tests that represent inflammation have great value for predicting the amount of disease burden and risk of mortality. Moreover, their cost-effectiveness and feasibility turn them into ideal prognostic markers.

Abstract	In 2020, the SARS-COV-2 disease (COVID-19) imposed huge challenges on the health, economic, and political systems, and by the end of the year, hope had been born with the release of COVID-19 vaccines aimed at bringing the pandemic to an end. However, the COVID-19 vaccination programs have sparked several concerns and ongoing debates over safety issues. Here, we presented three cases of patients with serious adverse events, encephalopathy, vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis, after receiving the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. Therefore, it is critical to investigate and report the occurrence of adverse reactions following vaccination, particularly serious ones, as it contributes to the growing body of research and assists clinicians in better diagnosing and managing them.

Abstract	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel and highly contagious disease caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Older adults and patients with comorbidities and immunosuppressive conditions may experience severe signs and symptoms that can lead to death. This case series assesses the clinical course, imaging features, and outcomes for 12 patients with COVID-19 and a history of kidney transplantation. Patients were evaluated for symptoms, laboratory data, imaging findings, and outcomes from February 2020 to April 2020. Fever, cough, and dyspnea were the most common clinical symptoms, noted in 75% (nine/12), 75% (nine/12), and 41.7% (five/12) of the patients, respectively. Most of the patients had a normal white blood cell count, while 33.3% (four/12) had leukopenia and 8.3% (one/12) had leukocytosis. A combination of consolidation and ground glass opacity was the most predominant (75%) pattern of lung involvement on computed tomography (CT). Eight patients died of severe COVID-19 pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome and four were discharged. All recovered cases had a unilateral peripheral pattern of involvement limited to only one zone on initial chest CT. It seems that CT imaging has an important role in predicting COVID-19 outcomes for solid organ transplant recipients. Future studies with long-term follow up and more cases are needed to elucidate COVID-19 diagnosis, outcome, and management strategies for these patients.

Abstract	Introduction: Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is most often associated with orthopedic trauma that typically presents 24-72 hours after the trauma with a classic triad. Only few cases of fat embolism due to lower extremity venous system had been reported. Case presentation: The current case report presents a pregnant woman who was referred to our emergency department with bilateral femoral open fracture. After detecting fetal demise by abdominopelvic ultrasound, an area of fat density in right external iliac vein was detected in abdominopelvic contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan which was considered as the probable diagnosis of fat embolism. While the patient did not show signs and symptoms of FES, the fat embolism was confirmed in further evaluations. Conclusion: In summary, although detection of fat embolus in CT scan in the emergency department is very rare, evaluation of lower extremity venous system in a posttraumatic patient seems to be crucial because early diagnosis of fat embolism can help the clinicians to prevent FES.
