Authors: Mousa Asmaa M. , Abd-Elhady Mohammed R. , Ebrahim Huda A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Hypertrophy of tonsils is common in the pediatric population, primarily affecting younger children, aged 3–6 years. Tonsillar hypertrophy symptoms are among the most common causes for pediatric or ENT visits in children. Hence, doctors also need to be informed of the potential complications of tonsillar hypertrophy and the surgical indications. Therefore, the physiology of tonsils, their function for the immune system, and the early and late effects of tonsillar hypertrophy also need to be understood.

Objective
The aim was to measure the total serum and tonsillar tissue immunoglobulin E (IgE) level in children with chronic hypertrophied tonsils who will undergo for tonsillectomy (symptomatized children) and serum IgE level in nonsymptomatized children.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective comparative study that was carried out at the Otorhinolaryngology Department at Al-Zahraa University hospital and Al Mataria General Hospital. The study included 40 children, and their ages ranged from 5 to 15 years. Overall, 19 were males and 21 were females diagnosed with chronic hypertrophied tonsils. Half of them were symptomatized and underwent tonsillectomy, and the rest were not symptomatized.

Results
There was no significant difference in the serum IgE level in symptomatized and nonsymptomatized children. A statistically significant difference was found between the serum IgE level and the grades of tonsillar hypertrophy in both symptomatized and nonsymptomatized children. Tonsillar IgE level was also increased with increase in the grade of tonsillar hypertrophy. The relation between the serum and the tonsillar IgE levels in symptomatized children was found to be significant.

Conclusion
The authors observed a strong relationship between the serum IgE level and the grade of tonsillar hypertrophy in the two groups. Regarding the tonsillar IgE level in symptomatized children, there was an increase with increase in the grade of tonsillar hypertrophy, and there was also a positive correlation between serum and tonsillar IgE levels.

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease is a progressive and complex neurological condition that mostly affects coordination and motor control. Parkinson's disease is most commonly associated with its motor symptoms, which include tremors, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and postural instability.
OBJECTIVES: Determine any minor alterations in walking patterns that could be early signs of Parkinson's disease. Track the course of Parkinson's disease over time by using gait data.
METHODS: In this study, we applied three types of VGRF datasets ("Dual Tasking, RAS, and Treadmill Walking") and developed an ML-based model using six different classifier methods. The datasets were analysed using 16 sensors, of which 8 were applied to each foot and the total pressure of the left and right foot. The aforementioned three distinct gait patterns movement disorders were the sources of the dataset. The gait signals dataset benefited by the participant demographic data.
RESULTS: Then, we passed the outcome of applying the model and measuring performance through a cross-validation operator to check the accuracy and decision-making of the five algorithms i) Deep Learning, ii) Neural Networks, iii) Support Vector Machine (SVM), iv) Gradient Boost Tree (GBT), v) Random Forest”. The following findings compare the effectiveness of the various algorithms utilized and the observed PD very well.
CONCLUSION: The different ML classifier algorithms demonstrated good detection capability with different accuracy. Our proposed ensemble model is superior to compare with the existing models. Because we can observe the proposed ensemble model result and accuracy better than the other classifier model. The other classifier model’s highest accuracy is 92.08% whereas our ensemble model got 92.31%. So, it has proved that our proposed ensemble model is excellent and robust.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionTo independently and externally validate the Brain Tumour Reporting and Data System (BT-RADS) for post-treatment gliomas and assess interobserver variability.Material and methodsIn this retrospective observational study, consecutive MRIs of 100 post-treatment glioma patients were reviewed by two independent radiologists (RD1 and RD2) and assigned a BT-RADS score. Inter-observer agreement statistics were determined by kappa statistics. The BT-RADS-linked management recommendations per score were compared with the multidisciplinary meeting (MDM) decisions.ResultsThe overall agreement rate between RD1 and RD2 was 62.7% (κ = 0.67). The agreement rate between RD1 and consensus was 83.3% (κ = 0.85), while the agreement between RD2 and consensus was 69.3% (κ = 0.79). Among the radiologists, agreement was highest for score 2 and lowest for score 3b. There was a 97.9% agreement between BT-RADS-linked management recommendations and MDM decisions.ConclusionsBT-RADS scoring led to improved consistency, and standardised language in the structured MRI reporting of post-treatment brain tumours. It demonstrated good overall agreement among the reporting radiologists at both extremes; however, variation rates increased in the middle part of the spectrum. The interpretation categories linked to management decisions showed a near-perfect match with MDM decisions.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionPrimary hyperparathyroidism is mainly caused by parathyroid adenomas. Preoperative imaging can be performed using different imaging modalities, e.g. ultrasound (US), radionuclide scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography, often used in combination. Currently, US-guided blue dyes, especially methylene blue (MB) injection, are used to identify parathyroid tumours.Material and methodsThis was a retrospective study of 228 patients. Preoperative ultrasound, scintigraphy, and bio­chemistry were performed on all patients, and fine-needle aspiration procedures were performed on suspected patients. Using preoperative US-G injection with MB dye, target tumours were injected in all cases.ResultsA total of 163 patients were female and 65 were male. The mean age was 42.5 years. US was positive in 203 (89%) cases, 25 (11%) were negative, and all had a positive sestamibi scan (100%). US-G needle injections with MB dye of target tumours were successful in all cases. The average diameter of the lesions was 18 mm. All had positive intraoperative identification of parathyroid adenoma and MB staining (100% accuracy, 100% sensitivity, and 100% specificity). Operating time (min ± SD) was 22.7 ± 11.5 minutes, and the success rate was 100%. All were parathyroid adenomas histologically. Intraoperative parathormone hormone decreased in all patients. In postoperative follow-up, all were normocalcaemic with no local or systemic complications.ConclusionsLocalisation of small parathyroid adenomas by US-guided blue dye injection is a safe, simple, and useful tool when performing parathyroidectomy with no complications.
