Abstract Cholangiopathies are chronic diseases that affect the bile ducts, comprising a heterogeneous group of progressive and potentially fatal entities. The diagnosis of these diseases is a great challenge for radiologists because of the overlapping of their clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings. Nevertheless, identifying the precise etiology is crucial, given that the therapeutic options are distinct and influence the prognosis of the patient. The purpose of this review article is to discuss some of the non-neoplastic causes of cholangiopathies and to provide a useful diagnostic algorithm.

Histopathologic Features

Context.—Neutrophilic panniculitis encompasses an etiologically and morphologically heterogeneous group of disorders. Correct histopathologic diagnosis is important in identifying certain systemic diseases and guiding appropriate treatment. Objective.—To review the clinical and histopathologic features of different types of neutrophilic panniculitis, and to provide a diagnostic algorithm for these disorders. Data Sources.—A review of the literature with emphasis on the distinguishing features of different entities was performed. Conclusions.—Evaluation for neutrophilic panniculitis entails paying close attention to the pattern of inflammation, the type of fat necrosis present, any evidence of vascular damage, and other relevant histopathologic features. An algorithmic approach integrating all histopathologic, clinical, and laboratory findings is required for correct diagnosis.

In Ayurved; Astasthana pariksha is one of the important examinations to find the various causes behind diseases. In Ayurvedic text, different methods have been described for diagnosis of various aspect of disease, the Purisa pariksha (Stool examination) is one of them. Purisa pariksha is the main laboratory investigation tool which is necessary to diagnosis the disease described under samanya pariksha regarding the abnormalities in terms of col- or, odor, quality, consistency etc. In all ancient days, the identification of ama is used to be done by purisa parik- sha only. This review article aims to focus on the importance of Purisa pariksha. This conceptual study is helpful in the management of various progressive chronic diseases. Keywords: Astasthana pariksha, Mala pariksha, Purisa pariksha, Stool.

To determine the historical use and utility of various lymphatic imaging modalities in Noonan syndrome (NS) patients, we performed a comprehensive literature review by collecting the published medical imaging of NS lymphatic dysplasias. We correlated imaging findings with clinical phenotypes and treatment. Our analysis of lymphatic imaging modalities provides an algorithmic approach to imaging and patient care across the spectrum of NS developmental defects. A total of 54 NS cases have been published since 1975. Using the observations reported in 15 reviewed publications, an association was made between disruptions in central lymphatic flow and poor clinical presentations/outcomes in NS patients.

The aim of this review article is to put forth the therapeutic options for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There is no specific treatment or therapy recommended for COVID-19 up to now. The therapeutic approaches should be ordered according to the severity of disease. These options can be listed from one to ten such as isolation; oxygen support; respiratory treatment; anticoagulant treatment; anti-inflammatory drugs; hydroxychloroquine and combinations therapies; antiviral drugs; convalescent plasma therapy; mesenchymal stem cells therapy and vaccination. According to the severity and stage of the disease, suitable options are recommended.

Bleeding complications arise in 1/4 of patients with hiatal hernia and GERD, and are the cause in 10% of all acute and 1/3 of chronic foregut bleedings. Most common bleeding disorders directly related to hiatal hernia and GERD are: hiatal hernia ulcers, erosive esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, peptic strictures and Barrett esophagus. The aim of this review article is to point out a significance of proper diagnosis and treatment for conditions bonded with hiatal hernia and GERD which can lead to severe esophageal bleedings. Detailed etiology, incidence, diagnostic algorithm and treatment of Cameron lesions, prolapse gastropathy, erosive esophagitis, peptic esophageal ulcers and postoperative complications related to hiatal hernia and GERD are presented in this article.

The article describes the prevalence, diagnosis and treatment undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (NDCTD). NDCTD: it is genetically heterogeneous group, which serves as the basis for the formation of various chronic diseases may cause dysplastic changes in the connective tissue of various organs and systems, but they are based on no clear genetic defect with a certain type of inheritance, are diagnosed when the patient has a set of features does not fit into any of differentiated diseases. Experience shows that such pathology is widespread. The incidence of NDCTD, according to some sources, among young adults up to 80%. If rigid criteria (six or more external fen) NDCTD detection rate is reduced to 20-25%, and the clinical significance of the identified anomalies increases.

General Review

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a heterogeneous syndrome estimated to affect approximately 10% to 15% of men and women globally. OAB not only negatively impacts quality of life but also results in a significant financial burden to both patients and health systems. Therefore, it is crucial that OAB is properly addressed. This manuscript provides a general review of the diagnostic algorithm for OAB and treatment per the AUA/SUFU guidelines, and an overview of new developments in OAB therapy. Given the wide array of therapeutic options that currently exist and those that are currently under development, there is tremendous opportunity to treat OAB successfully and positively affect our patients’ lives.
