We compared the safety and efficacy of ipilimumab stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to SRS alone for newly diagnosed melanoma brain metastases (MBM).We reviewed records MBM patients treated with from 2009 2013. The primary endpoint overall survival (OS), secondary endpoints local control, distant intracranial failure, radiation necrosis were using Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate multivariate analysis performed Cox proportional hazards method.Fifty-four consecutive identified, 20 (37.0%)...
Background In the 1960s, less than 10% of medical school graduates were women. Today, almost half all are Despite significant rise in female graduates, there continues to be a large gender gap most subspecialties, particularly surgical subspecialties such as neurosurgery. Objective The purpose our study was assess factors contributing differences academic ranks male and staff neurosurgery programs Canada United States (US). Methods Data about women collected from number sources, including...
Sensitivity of CT the abdomen for detection acute bowel ischemia (ABI) can be as low 60%. In this study, we assessed diagnostic performance iodine-map and monoenergetic (40-keV) images in patients with suspected ABI.This retrospective study included 60 consecutive ABI who underwent a standardized imaging protocol dual-source dual-energy (DECT) over 26-month period. Clinical operative outcomes were recorded reference standard. Two abdominal radiologists unaware clinical surgical information...
Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> There has been extensive interest in promoting gender equality within radiology, a predominately male field. In this study, our aim was to quantify representation neuroradiology faculty rankings and determine any related factors that may contribute such disparity. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> We evaluated the academic administrative members of divisions for all on-line listed programs US Canada. After excluding did not fulfill selection criteria, we generated...
Cardiovascular screening of women using traditional risk factors has been challenging, with results often classifying a majority as lower than men. The aim this report was to determine the long-term prognosis asymptomatic and men classified at low-intermediate undergoing coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring.A total 2363 aggregating into Framingham score (6%-9.9%; 10-year predicted risk) underwent CAC scanning. Individuals were followed up for median 14.6 years. We estimated all-cause...
Gender disparity has been documented in advanced doctoral degrees, research, and academic positions, therefore, it can logically be deduced that the gender would found journals' editorial boards. In this study, we sought to determine distribution boards of psychiatry journals worldwide. We also studied achievements board members by comparing professional background, education level, research productivity indices. analyzed 119 from Clarivate Analytics' Journal Citation Reports. Our data...
Despite constituting half the population, women represent a minority of active physicians and hold small proportion faculty leadership positions in North America. However, dermatology is one few specialties where comprise substantial portion workforce. This study explores extent contributors to gender disparity academic positions, leadership, research.We collected data on including from websites accredited U.S. Canadian faculties. We used PubMed SCOPUS collect research information h-index,...
The objective of our study was to outline the gender distribution in leadership positions North American radiology societies.A review societies conducted identify committee members and those holding positions. Scopus database queried for research productivity metrics these individuals. Gender, university affiliation, academic rank were identified from departmental websites. chi-square test used assess differences distribution, nonparametric analyses applied determine continuous variables.Of...
Objectives The aims of the study were (1) to establish potential gender differences in academic physical medicine and rehabilitation faculty across United States Canada (2) evaluate associations between physician gender, leadership position, research productivity. Design Physical programs enlisted Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive Database ( n = 72) Canadian Resident Matching Service 9) searched for with Doctor Medicine degrees generate a database profiles. Bibliometric data...
Background Despite the number of female medical-school applicants reaching an all-time high and increasing females in surgical training, males retain overwhelming majority senior academic positions formal leadership positions. This study aims to better understand extent influences for gender disparity general societies throughout North America, Europe, Oceania. Methods Data collection this retrospective cross-sectional took place between June December 2017. Committee subcommittee members...
Objective The National Institute of Health (NIH) supports the academic career scientists across United States (U.S.). It promotes and sponsors in conducting wide-ranging clinical basic science research. Depending on duration, research type, budget, there are various types grants awarded by NIH. Despite considerable advancement biomedical sciences, female researchers remain underrepresented obtaining NIH funding. Through this study, we aim to highlight gender trends funding grants. By doing...
The purpose of this study is to determine whether academic achievement differs by gender among breast imaging radiologists.We examined the disparity in radiology using several parameters, including h-index, number publications, and citations. We also inspected ranks leadership ranks.The research productivity female imagers was found be significantly lower than that male colleagues across all (p < 0.001). In addition, no correlation noted between positions = 0.57), despite fact women dominate...
Background: Gender difference in the workplace continues to be a subject of great discussion. Cross-sectional studies demonstrate that women are often underrepresented key leadership roles. We sought examine proportion cardiology positions and compare findings with differences prevalent overall faculty. Furthermore, we aspired which they entered field. Methods: This is cross-sectional online study Cardiology fellowship programs identified by American Medical Association's Fellowship...
