Small series with limited follow-up have suggested primary follicular lymphoma of the duodenum (FL-D) to be an indolent disease. We report our experience on a large patients followed for median time period longer than 6 years.The study comprised 63 FL-D defined as stage I Endoscopy and detailed pathologic work-up was performed at diagnosis restaging monitor behavior neoplastic process.Histologically, all had FL, low grade (1 2). Duodenal endosonography demonstrated lesions confined...
The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy in staging various malignant tumors with whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) using parallel (PAT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).In a prospective study, 41 patients withoncologic diseases underwent [F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET-CT for tumor WB-MRI on 32-channel-scanner use PAT. Coronal T1w STIR sequences at 5 body levels, axial HASTE lung, contrast-enhanced liver, brain, abdomen were...
Anti-angiogenic treatment is believed to have at least cystostatic effects in highly vascularized tumours like pancreatic cancer. In this study, the of angiogenesis inhibitor Cilengitide and gemcitabine were compared with alone patients advanced unresectable A multi-national, open-label, controlled, randomized, parallel-group, phase II pilot study was conducted 20 centers 7 countries. administered 600 mg/m2 twice weekly for 4 weeks per cycle 1000 3 followed by a week rest cycle. The planned...
Abstract Purpose To compare high‐resolution T2‐weigthed images of the liver with and without integrated parallel acquisition techniques (iPAT) using either breath‐hold sequences in combination prospective motion correction (PACE) or respiratory triggering. Materials Methods Ten volunteers 10 patients underwent each four different fast spin echo (FSE) 5 mm slice thickness a full 320 matrix: multi‐breath‐hold FSE sequence iPAT PACE respiratory‐triggered iPAT. Image quality was rated five‐point...
Purpose: To compare parallel acquisition magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with thin-section helical computed tomography (CT) for depiction of pulmonary abnormalities suggestive pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. Materials and Methods: The institutional review board approved this study; prior consent was obtained. Thirty consecutive neutropenic patients (10 women, 20 men; mean age, 51 years ± 15 [standard deviation]; range, 25–75 years) fever unknown origin or clinical signs symptoms...
The aim of this study was to assess the impact advanced technology new ExAblate 2100 system (Insightec Ltd, Haifa, Israel) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound surgery on treatment outcomes in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids, as measured by nonperfused volume ratio.This is a retrospective analysis 115 women (mean age, 42 years; range, 27-54 years) fibroids who consecutively underwent MRI-guided single center generation from November 2010 June 2011. Mean ±...
To comprehensively assess thoracic anatomy and pulmonary microcirculation in embolism by using computed tomographic (CT) angiography of the arteries combined with functional CT imaging blood flow.Twenty-two patients suspected having acute underwent contrast material-enhanced thin-section electron-beam arteries. In addition, each patient, a dynamic multisection flow study was performed on 7.6-cm lung volume electrocardiographic gating. Pulmonary calculated, perfusion parameters were...
The Military Health System (MHS) is tasked with a dual mission both to provide medical services for covered patients and ensure that its active duty personnel maintain readiness deployment. Knowledge, skills, attitudes (KSA) metric evaluating the transferrable skills incorporated into given surgery or procedure are most relevant surgeons deployed theatre of war. Procedures carrying high KSA value those utilizing relevance maintaining deployment readiness. Given ongoing concerns regarding...
The continuous development of highly sensitive clinical imaging increased the detection focal lesions liver. These accidentally detected liver tumors without liver-specific symptoms such as cholestasis have been named “incidentalomas.” Diagnostic tools sonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance are used increasingly in asymptomatic individuals defined suspected diagnoses setting general prevention followup after a history malignancy. But despite improvement diagnostics, some...
Background Massachusetts is a northeastern state with universally mandated health insurance since 2006. Although Black men have generally worse prostate cancer outcomes, emerging data suggest that they may experience equivalent outcomes within fully insured system. In this setting, the authors analyzed treatments and of non‐Hispanic White in Massachusetts. Methods who were 20 years old or older had been diagnosed localized intermediate‐ high‐risk nonmetastatic 2004‐2015 identified Cancer...
