ABSTRACT Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between body composition, overall survival, odds receiving treatment, and patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) in individuals living with metastatic non‐small‐cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). Methods This retrospective analysis conducted newly diagnosed patients mNSCLC who had computed‐tomography (CT) scans completed PRO questionnaires close diagnosis date. Cox proportional hazard models logistic regression evaluated...

To determine the accuracy of unenhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in detection acute appendicitis patients younger than 50 years who present to emergency department with right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain.The institutional review board approved this retrospective study 403 from August 1, 2012, July 30, 2014, and waived informed consent requirement. A cross-department strategy was instituted use MR as primary diagnostic modality aged 3-49 presented RLQ pain. All examinations were performed...

Theories of animal defensive behavior postulate that imminent, predictable threat elicits highly focused attention toward the source, whereas remote, unpredictable distributed to overall environment. We used shock combined with measurement prepulse inhibition startle reflex test these claims in humans. Twenty-seven participants experienced periods and safety. Threat safe were short or long, conveying relatively predictable, imminent shocks long shocks. Startle reflexes elicited equal numbers...

Purpose To apply previously published benefit-to-risk ratio methods for mammography and molecular breast imaging (MBI) risk estimates to an expanded range of mammographic screening techniques, compressed thicknesses, views. Materials Methods Only were used; therefore, this study was exempt from the requirement obtain institutional review board approval. Benefit-to-risk ratios calculated as cancer deaths averted lives lost over 10-year intervals starting at age 40 years MBI, two-dimensional...

Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) is increasingly used for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. We evaluated whether MRI phenotype and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) can predict response to NET. Patients with localized cancer treated NET had a pre-treatment were identified. Baseline BPE was interpreted by single radiologist blinded results systemic therapy. Response defined as stable disease or reduction in tumor size on clinical and/or...

Abstract Background Rising costs pose a major threat to US health care. Residency programs are being asked teach residents how provide cost-conscious medical Methods An educational intervention incorporating the American College of Radiology appropriateness criteria with lectures on cost-consciousness and actual hospital charges for abdominal imaging was implemented at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, CA. We hypothesized that would order fewer examinations patients complaints pain after...
