Role of diffusion weighted imaging in assessment of anterior cruciate ligament pathology by Hossam Gamal Sharkas, Mena Elerian Youssef Ekladious, Lobna Abdelmoneim Habib, Hossam Moussa Sakr

“…But sometimes it's difficult because edema may hide the ligament fibers. ADC mapping may be useful to confirm whether or not the ligament is continuous for an appropriate diagnosis of incomplete tears because it has been demonstrated that ligament fibers are better visible on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and ADC mapping. …”

Pleuroparenchymal Lung Disease Secondary to Nonoccupational Exposure to Vermiculite by Fahad Al-Ghimlas, Victor Hoffstein

“…An unusual case of pleuroparenchymal lung disease caused by the inhalation of vermiculite dust, presumably containing asbestos fibers is described. The uniqueness of the case lies in the very indirect nature of exposure – the wife of a factory owner, rather than a worker exposed to asbestos, whose factory manufactured vermiculite. …”

The First Integral Method to the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations in Higher Dimensions by Shoukry Ibrahim Atia El-Ganaini

“…The first integral method introduced by Feng is adopted for solving some important nonlinear partial differential equations, including the (2 + 1)-dimensional hyperbolic nonlinear Schrodinger (HNLS) equation, the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger (GNLS) equation with a source, and the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation in nonlinear optical fibers. This method provides polynomial first integrals for autonomous planar systems. …”

Botulinum Toxin-A Therapy in Pediatric Urology: Indications for the Neurogenic and Non-Neurogenic Neurogenic Bladder by Lori Dyer, Israel Franco

“…Injection of Botulinum Toxin-A at the level of the bladder works by inhibiting uninhibited bladder contractions and, possibly, by blocking some of the sensory nerve fibers. In children with sphincter dyssynergy, injection at the level of the urethral sphincter works by inhibiting the involuntary guarding reflex and blocking dyssynergic voiding.…”
