Background: Memory tests using controlled encoding and cued recall paradigm (CECR) have been shown to identify prodromal Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but information about the effectiveness of CECR compared to other memory tests in predicting clinical progression is missing. Objective: The aim was to examine the predictive ability of a memory test based on the CECR paradigm in comparison to other memory/non-memory tests for conversion to dementia in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods: 270 aMCI patients from the clinical-based Czech Brain Aging Study underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment including the Enhanced Cued Recall test (ECR), a memory test with CECR, two verbal memory tests without controlled encoding: the Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) and Logical memory test (LM), a visuospatial memory test: the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test, and cognitive testing based on the Uniform Data Set battery. The patients were followed prospectively. Conversion to dementia as a function of cognitive performance was examined using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: 144 (53%) patients converted to dementia. Most converters (89%) developed dementia due to AD or mixed (AD and vascular) dementia. Comparing the four memory tests, the delayed recall scores on AVLT and LM best predicted conversion to dementia. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of immediate recall scores on ECR, AVLT, and LM were similar to the HR of categorical verbal fluency. Conclusion: Using the CECR memory paradigm in assessment of aMCI patients has no superiority over verbal and non-verbal memory tests without cued recall in predicting conversion to dementia.

Published: June 2022

Procedural (relevance and admissibility) and epistemological (due quality of objects, accuracy of source data, approved research methodology was applied) conditions and criteria (epistemological: scientific, methodological and logical substantiation of expert conclusions, procedural: compliance with other case files) that together determine veracity of the expert conclusion are outlined.
The Article Purpose is to analyze views of scientists concerning veracity of evidence in general and the expert conclusion in particular; clarify circumstances preceding the expert conclusion and conditioning its accuracy; emphasize epistemological and procedural criteria for this characteristic and compare with the procedure for determining veracity of forensic examination in the countries of the Anglo-Saxon Legal Family and develop a standard based on which veracity of the forensic report can be established by results of performed research.
The scientific and methodological substantiation presupposes general and specific substantiation of research results of submitted objects. The logical substantiation is argumentation of the expert’s interim and final conclusions. The criterion for procedural veracity of the forensic report is in its consistency, compliance with other pieces of evidence. It is advisable to use the standard of proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” to determine conformity of the forensic report with objective reality.
The standard of forensic report veracity implies that conditions of relevance and admissibility of the forensic report are met, objects submitted for forensic examination are of appropriate quality, expert conclusions are based on general scientific and methodological provisions and results of a particular expert research stemming from them, logically reasoned, conformed with other pieces of evidence in a criminal proceeding and recognized as corresponding to actual circumstances of the offense beyond any reasonable doubt.

Prior to the implementation of computer equipment and software engineering into an expert practice, the relative position of participants of traffic collision in the roadaccident analysis was determined by creating a graph-analytical model. The modern foreign software package makes it possible to simulate the mechanism of traffic collision development at its various stages but they are complex and licensed which means they are quite expensive.
This article considers examples of the study of traffic collisions that occurred in conditions of limited visibility using ТАSolver software package developed at National Scientific Center «Hon. Prof. M. S. Bokarius Forensic Science Institute». Using the graphic-analytical method, this software package determines the distance at which the vehicle was located from the place of collision at the moment of danger for further movement. The use of ТАSolver software package is possible to determine the relative position of both a vehicle and a pedestrian in the event of a collision, as well as several vehicles at the moment of their collision. ТАSolver software package allows to quickly and easily simulate the situation of traffic collision that occurred due to an object that limited visibility.
The article purpose is to improve the quality of examinations and expert studies, reduce export’s labor costs, as well as increase the probative value of an expert’s opinion which will be facilitated by the use of ТАSolver software package for the study of traffic collisions that occurred in conditions of limited visibility.

A review of Imaging Findings of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis
Authors: Rahmani Maryam , Pourashraf Maryam 
Published: June 2022

Background: Imaging has an established role in the diagnosis and management of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM). The main purpose of this article is to explain an imaging-based diagnostic approach for IGM and describe the imaging findings of the disease.
Methods: The present article is a narrative review of the literature regarding the imaging of IGM.
Results: Ultrasound and mammography are the two commonly used modalities for evaluating IGM patients. Focal asymmetry and irregular high-density mass are the most common mammographic findings. Irregular hypoechoic mass with tubular extensions is a frequent ultrasound finding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a complementary modality, but it does not usually change the disease management.. The most important differential diagnosis of IGM includes breast cancer, infectious mastitis, and tuberculous mastitis. There is currently no agreed-upon schedule for the imaging follow-up of IGM patients.
Conclusion: The commonly used imaging modalities for the evaluation of IGM include ultrasound with or without mammography. There is currently no consensus on the imaging follow-up of these patients.

Published: June 2022

Background: Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the breast. Although most of the studies have reported IGM as a rare disease, recent studies have shown an increase in the prevalence, especially in developing countries. The most important challenge is about the appropriate treatment of this disease that is not established yet. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to review the definite cases of IGM in terms of clinical characteristics and the result of treatment at Motamed Cancer Institute (MCI).
Methods and Materials: This retrospective study was conducted on 383 women who were referred to Motamed Cancer Research Institute with a confirmed diagnosis of IGM for a two-year period from March 2015 to February 2018. The demographic and clinical characteristics and the result of treatment options were extracted from the patients’ medical records. The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS version 22.
Results: Among 383 pathologically proven cases with IGM, the mean age was 35.6+7.593 years, 97% of them had a history of pregnancy and 95.2% had breastfed. The most common symptoms of the disease were palpable mass, pain, fistula to the skin and inflammation respectively. In response to the prescribed treatments, among 241 patients with available follow-up, the most commonly used treatment was Corticosteroids + Methotrexate (70.1%), the highest complete remission was in the group receiving Corticosteroid (100%) and Methotrexate (97%) respectively and the highest partial remission belonged to Corticosteroid+ Methotrexate with the frequency of 21.3%. The shortest time to complete remission belonged to Methotrexate regimen with a mean duration of 5.83 months and the highest recurrence rate was seen in the group receiving Corticosteroids alone (16.7%).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, among the prescribed treatments, the highest rate of complete remission with the lowest duration and recurrence rate belongs to Methotrexate regimen. Corticosteroids were associated with the high rate of complete remission but high rate of recurrence yet. Given the autoimmune nature of IGM, such results seem expectable and Methotrexate could be recommended especially in moderate to severe forms and as an additional treatment to taper Corticosteroids. Implementation of clinical trials regarding the best treatment options for IGM is recommended.
Uncommon Location of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: A Case Report
Authors: Alvand Saba , Hessami Ali , Kiani Leila , Ostadali Makhmalbaf Ahmad , Elahi Ahmad 
Published: June 2022

Background Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign disease involving breast parenchyma mostly in periareolar region. Women of childbearing with recent history of pregnancy and lactation are more at risk of IGM. The common locations of IGM are retro areolar and periareolar of the breast, however involvement of axillary region has never been reported elsewhere.
Case presentation A 36-year-old female with history of two times pregnancy and lactation 8 months prior to presentation, referred with pain and swelling in the right axillary area. The past medical history and habitual history were negative and she did not use oral contraceptives or other medications. Local physical examination showed normal breasts with bilateral accessory breasts. A tender mass with the size of 4x6cm was palpable in the right axillary region accompanied by erythema and a few secretory fistulas without lymphadenopathy. Routine blood test came back negative and serum prolactin was normal. Ultra-sonography (US) demonstrated a soft tissue swelling, edema, and decreased echogenicity area in the right axillary region compatible with IGM. The patient started on prednisolone 50 mg per day, and the condition has not been improved for two months. To exclude other possible etiologies due to atypical location, the patient underwent a second US and core-needle biopsy which confirmed the diagnosis of axillary IGM. Prednisolone tapered off and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) started. All the symptoms improved in a month and fully resolved in 3 months.
Conclusion Since IGM is not fully known yet, the presentation and the location can be variable. Considering IGM as a probable diagnosis in inflammatory presentation in the axillary region in patients with accessory breasts is suggested.
