Taking into consideration the Institute of Medicine's 2008 recommendations regarding residents' duty hours,1 16-member Duty Hour Task Force Accreditation Council for GraduateMedical Education (ACGME) recently published proposed new recommendations,2 which, as eventually approved, would go effect in July 2011. These represent a continuing commitment by ACGME to both "foster humanistic environment graduate medical education" and ensure "excellent safe patient care."2 The has solicited comments...
Thyroid nodule treatment has significantly evolved over recent years with attempts to individualize on the basis of cause and patient performance status. The risks complications associated surgery radioactive iodine have promoted interest in additional therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA creates an electrical current through a target tissue (thyroid nodule) resultant heating causing coagulative necrosis. National international groups are beginning recognize role viable...
Biliary adenofibromas (BAFs) are rare, benign biliary cystic tumors with potential for malignant transformation. Of the eleven prior cases of BAF reported in literature, six showed evidence We describe clinical, imaging and pathology features two review existing literature to raise awareness this entity provide additional tools diagnosing rare tumor Additionally, we identified a loss function mutation cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) suppressor gene caudate lobe BAF, thereby...
Patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) have arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) genetic mutations involving the activin-A receptor like type 1 (ACVRL1 or ALK1) and endoglin (ENG). Recent studies shown that Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) inhibits ALK1. We investigated expression of NRP-1 in livers patients HHT found there was a significant reduction perivascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). used Nrp1SM22KO mice (Nrp1 ablated SMCs) hemorrhage, increased immune cell infiltration decrease...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the role adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in guiding management patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-independent glucocorticoid secretory autonomy and bilateral masses.A cohort 25 underwent AVS surgical management.Cortisol measured from veins (AVs) inferior vena cava (IVC). AV/IVC cortisol ratio lateralization (CLR) (dominant AV concentration divided by nondominant concentration) were calculated. Posthoc receiver-operating characteristic curves...
Evaluation of Strategies to Reduce Radiation Dose in Perfusion CT Imaging Using a Reproducible Biologic PhantomJuan C. Ramirez-Giraldo1, 2, Scott M. Thompson3, Ganapathy Krishnamurthi1, Bruce E. Knudsen2, David A. Woodrum1, Matthew R. Callstrom1 and Cynthia H. McCollough1Audio Available | Share
Objectives: To demonstrate the feasibility of developing a fixed, dual-input, biologic liver phantom for dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging and to report initial results use quantitative CT perfusion imaging. Materials Methods: Porcine livers were obtained from completed surgical studies perfused with saline fixative. The was placed in body-shaped, CT-compatible acrylic container connected circuit fitted contrast injection port. Flow-controlled experiments performed...
Treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma has evolved in the era increasingly effective systemic therapies. Increasing survival rates provide opportunities for repeated focal therapies to be directed at limited disease. Surgical resection and other ablative eliminate oligometastases most common sites, namely liver lung, have been proven prolong survival. As such, patients develop additional sites metastasis course their disease, including adrenal, peritoneal, nodal, skeletal metastases....
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential using ultrasound gel mitigate risks skin burn at insertion site during microwave ablation (MWA) non-actively cooled applicators. Ex vivo experiments in porcine tissue were conducted two identical MWA systems. Five scenarios tested different applicator depths with an layer applied sites: 8 cm depth and without 4 thick gel, 10 2 12 (reference). In all experiments, temperature elevations on surface recorded thermal sensors 10-min MWA....
The rapid development of novel medical devices has provided healthcare professionals with new invaluable tools to diagnose and treat disease; however, this quick rate innovation poses several regulatory challenges. In commentary, we illustrate the history translation radiofrequency technology its application toward treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), detailing obstacles facilitators that emerged throughout process in hopes highlighting broader lessons may be applicable other devices....
PET/CT plays a crucial role in the management of prostate cancer with several emerging and established radiopharmaceuticals, including 18 F-piflufolastat 11 C-choline. These radiotracers are thought to be relatively specific cancer; however, uptake has also been demonstrated other benign malignant lesions. Nodular fasciitis is rapidly growing soft tissue neoplasm that typically self-limiting. Although few case reports describe 68 Ga-PSMA nodular fasciitis, C-choline PSMA-targeted PET probes,...
Vaginal stenosis is a common complication following construction of neovagina with vascularized myocutaneous flaps. This primarily because inconsistent or inappropriate vaginal dilator use. Image-guided recanalization, especially for obstructed genitourinary tracts, an emerging idea in interventional radiology. Although multiple surgical techniques have been reported to treat agenesis obstruction, the image-guided recanalization relatively new management strategy stenosis.We present...
