To correlate breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) category 4 lesions with histopathology results to assess the accuracy of subcategorization. ⋯ The results of this study contribute to the existing body of knowledge, emphasizing the need for standardized guidelines for the characterization of BI-RADS 4 subcategories and improved diagnostic accuracy in the management of breast lesions.

To review the types of upper limb congenital differences in patients seen in a tertiary hospital in Jordan and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oberg-Manske-Tonkin (OMT) system. ⋯ The malformation category constituted most of the congenital upper extremity difference in this study. Radial polydactyly was the most common in this category. Considering the regional differences, the need for a well-established healthcare infrastructure is a vital step toward managing and improving the outcomes of these patients.

To review the clinical and radiological correlation of the central nervous system manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). ⋯ Multidisciplinary management and further research is needed to optimize the care and quality of life of TSC affected individuals and their families.

To investigate the role of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in the diagnosis and severity of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). ⋯ Elevated SII values support the evidence for the inflammatory properties of ICP but do not aid in diagnosing and determining its severity. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio may be a useful marker in determining ICP.

To evaluate the clinical relevance of Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) monitoring during transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) under sedation and determine whether it reduces hypoxic events compared to standard monitoring. ⋯ The IPI monitoring during EBUS-TBNA under sedation demonstrated improved detection of apnea episodes and enhanced respiratory safety compared to standard monitoring techniques. Additional research involving more varied populations is necessary to confirm these results.
