Title : Role of diffusion tensor imaging as an adjunct tool in imaging of Intracranial masses

Abstract : In this prospective study, we assessed the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values in the thirty-three intracranial masses were obtained.The FA value in the lesion was reduced in lesion and the perilesional area of the tumor compared to that of the normal appearing white matter (NAWM) for all the tumors except epidermoid cyst. However the FA value in the lesion was found to be lower than the FA value in the perilesional area.The MD value in the lesion and the perilesional are was found to be higher than that in the NAWM. However the MD value in lesion was found to be slightly higher than that in the perilesional area.Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)can be used in conjunction with conventional MRI in the diagnosis of intracranial masses..

We investigated an association between maternal lifestyle factors and the risk of CHDs, because epidemiological studies have reported conflicting results regarding maternal lifestyle factors and the risk of CHDs recently. The objective of study was to estimate the importance of maternal socioeconomic and lifestyle factors during pregnancy in the risk of congenital anomalies in the study population. A population based observational study was carried out in N.R.S. Medical College and Hospital amongst pregnant women who were carrying a baby with congenital from July 2021 to December 2021. Pregnant women were approached during their first antenatal acre visit at our OPD/ ER/ radiology department. All women who intended to carry their pregnancy and were ready to participate in the interview were included in the study. During the period 42 patients were included in the study as per inclusion criteria Thorough history taking and was done. Template was generated in MS excel sheet and analysis was done on SPSS software. In the present study, maximum cases of congenital anomalies 8 (19.05%)were in the age group of > 30 years in high income group category followed by 7 (16.67%) in the same group. Maximum cases of congenital anomalies were in gravidity in G4 and above 13 (30.95%). Preconceptual Smoking was found maximum in high income group participants i.e 8 (19.05%). About 27 (64.29%) of father were smoker while only 9 (21.43%) mothers were smoker.
