Background: The radius of curvature (ROC) is an important variable related to potential cartilage incongruities in the transplantation a large femoral osteochondral allograft. anterior-posterior length (APL) condyle used as criterion for donor-graft acceptance. We hypothesized that there would be linear correlation between ROC and APL condyle, differ significantly medial (MFC) lateral (LFC), donor graft from LFC suitable MFC defect. Methods: Knee magnetic resonance imaging scans 147 patients...
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are clinically heterogenous, comprising benign (BPNST) and malignant (MPNST) variants. BPNSTs can be managed with nerve-sparing excision or observation. MPNSTs require radical resection multidisciplinary oncologic management (1, 15). Image-guided core-needle biopsy (IGCNBx) is the well-established standard to obtain preoperative tissue diagnosis of soft tumors. However, there has been resistance performing IGCNBx PNSTs because presumed risk injury...
A clinical validation of the bone scan lesion area (BSLA) as a quantitative imaging biomarker was performed in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). BSLA computed from whole-body scintigraphy at baseline and week 12 posttreatment cohort 198 mCRPC subjects (127 treated 71 placebo) trial involving different drug initial development. computation involved automated image normalization, segmentation, summation total segmented lesions on AP PA views measure tumor burden. As...
The ability to predict meniscus tear reparability based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is desirable for postoperative planning; however, the accuracy of predictive methods varies widely within orthopaedic and radiology literature.The purpose was determine if higher resolution offered by 3-T MRI improves predicting compared with previous investigations using 1.5-T MRI. Our hypothesis that a field strength would result in improved reliability assessments predictions studies...
<h3>Background</h3> Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has demonstrated improvements in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS), however, response is limited to pre-existing tumor-infiltrating T cells. Most STS harbor a myeloid-dominant infiltrate highlighting therapeutic opportunity leverage their ability engage We hypothesized that BO-112, nanoplexed poly I:C, will target myeloid cells complement radiotherapy (RT) and ICB generate cell immunity murine models patients. <h3>Methods</h3> tested...
To evaluate the anatomic site(s) of initial disease progression in patients with castration resistant metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC) presence or absence pre-treatment visceral metastases while on systemic therapy.This is a retrospective cohort study mCRPC who have baseline and at least one follow up bone scan CT chest, abdomen pelvis (CAP). Disease was determined by RECIST and/or ≥ 30% increase automated lesion area score. Kaplan-Meier plot used to estimate median free survival log-rank...
While studies have described Kaplan fiber (KF) injury in up to 60% of adults with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, the incidence KF pediatric and adolescent population remains unknown.To (1) determine reliability using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identify (2) define these patients acute ACL injuries.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.The authors retrospectively identified ≤18 years age who underwent reconstruction for tears between 2013 2020. All preoperative MRI scans...
Sports-related ankle injuries are becoming more common as the population becomes fitness-conscious and younger generations participate in a wider variety of athletics. As imaging technology advances, providing greater anatomic detail higher sensitivity for pathology, need detailed knowledge anatomy accurate diagnosis is ever critical. In this article, we review pertinent to discuss sports-related with emphasis on their features.
