To assess the feasibility and safety of using cooled-tip electrodes to increase volume coagulation necrosis obtained or reduce number treatment sessions necessary with percutaneous tumor radio-frequency (RF) ablation.Twenty-nine patients 44 hepatic metastases (1.3-5.1 cm diameter) from colorectal (n = 22), gastric 5), pancreatic 1), breast 1) carcinoma were treated RF ablation cooled-tip, 18-gauge 2-3 tip exposure. Each was in one two sessions.Technical success, all visualized tumor,...
PURPOSE: To determine the potential efficacy of radio-frequency (RF) ablation liver metastases during long-term follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients with 31 hepatic were treated percutaneous, ultrasound-guided RF ablation. was applied to monopolar electrodes (2-3-cm tip exposure) either individually or within a multiprobe array (two four probes) for 6 minutes at 90 degrees C over one treatment sessions per metastasis. RESULTS: In only 75 sessions, moderate complication,...
To prospectively determine the accuracy of combination positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) in lymph node staging patients with early-stage cervical cancer, histopathologic results as reference standard.The study was institutional review board approved, and all gave informed consent. Forty-seven consecutive women aged 29-71 years clinical stage IA or IB carcinoma were included study. All 47 scheduled for radical hysterectomy pelvic dissection. Before surgery, underwent...

To retrospectively assess the local control and intermediate- long-term survival of patients with liver metastases from breast cancer who have undergone percutaneous ultrasonography (US)-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation.This study was approved by hospital ethics committee, all provided written informed consent. RF ablation used to treat 87 (mean diameter, 2.5 cm) in 52 female (median age, 55 years). Inclusion criteria were as follows: fewer than five tumors, maximum tumor diameter 5 cm or...
OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to investigate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values endometrial cancer differ from those normal endometrium and myometrium they vary according histologic tumor grade, the depth myometrial invasion, or lymph node status.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the inter-rater agreement of chest X-ray (CXR) findings in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to determine value initial CXR along with demographic, clinical, laboratory data at emergency department (ED) presentation for predicting mortality need ventilatory support. Methods A total 340 COVID-19 patients who underwent ED setting (March 1–13, 2020) were retrospectively included. Two reviewers independently assessed abnormalities, including ground-glass...
Highlights•Liver injury in patients with COVID-19 is associated elevated IL-6 and coagulopathy.•Patients exhibit hepatic endotheliopathy which liver injury.•IL-6 trans-signaling causes sinusoidal endothelial cells.AbstractBackground AimsCOVID-19 interleukin-6 (IL-6). We hypothesized that cells (LSECs) leads to (a proinflammatory procoagulant state) COVID-19.MethodsCoagulopathy, endotheliopathy, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were retrospectively analyzed a subset (n = 68), followed by larger...
Gender-related factors might affect vulnerability to Covid-19. The aim of this study was describe the role gender on clinical features and 28-day mortality in Covid-19 patients.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Management of ultrasound (US)‐guided percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) lacks standardisation. Despite the low risk major complications (< 1%), repeated blood counts up to 4 h in‐hospital observation are typically recommended. We aimed assess complication rates predictors in a large cohort patients undergoing US‐PLB across three Italian tertiary centres. included all from January 2018 December 2023. collected clinical, biochemical procedural features (needle...
PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the accuracy of integrated positron emission tomography (PET) and computed (CT) for depiction persistent ovarian carcinoma after first-line treatment, with use histologic findings as reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-one women (mean age, 55.9 years) treated primary cytoreductive surgery followed up platinum regimen chemotherapy were included. All 31 patients scheduled surgical second-look. Before second-look, all underwent fluorodeoxyglucose...
The authors prospectively performed serum CA 19-9 assessment, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and CT-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of the pancreas in 81 consecutive patients with suspected chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic neoplasm. final diagnosis was cancer 54 27 patients. US, CT, FNAB were considered nondiagnostic, respectively, 0%, 25%, 19%, 6% cases. When a definite rendered, positive predictive value 90% for 95% 98% 100% FNAB; negative was, 69%, 95%, 86%,...
A prospective study was designed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of nonenhanced T2-weighted contrast material-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in assessing depth myometrial invasion patients with proved endometrial cancer. In 56 consecutive clinically determined early-stage disease, findings two MR techniques were compared results histologic examination surgical specimens. Myometrial classified as absent (stage IA), superficial IB), or deep IC). assessment...
To assess the diagnostic quality of low dose (100 kV) CT angiography (CTA), by using ultra-low contrast medium volume (30 ml), for thoracic and abdominal aorta evaluation.67 patients with or vascular disease underwent multidetector study a 256 slice scanner, radiation protocol (automated tube current modulation, 100 ml; 4 ml s(-1)). Density measurements were performed on ascending, arch, descending aorta, anonymous branch, renal common iliac arteries. Radiation exposure [dose-length product...
