A study looked at two ways to fix a kidney problem in babies. The problem is called ureteropelvic junction obstruction, or UPJO. This happens when the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder gets blocked. The study compared two types of surgery. One is called laparoscopic pyeloplasty
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a tough condition to manage. It's an inflammatory disease that affects joints and skin. People with PsA often take medicines called csDMARDs to control their symptoms. But what if there's a new drug that could help even more? Deucravacitinib is a new oral medication. It
Knee injuries are a common issue, and figuring out how bad they are is crucial for treatment. Two main ways to look inside the knee are MRI and a special type of CT scan called weight-bearing CT arthrography (WBCTa). This study wanted to see how well MRI does at spotting cartilage damage compared to
