To compare the performance of transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound with that first-line staging method (contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT)) a novel technique, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging diffusion-weighted sequence (WB-DWI/MRI), in assessment peritoneal involvement (carcinomatosis), lymph-node prediction non-resectability patients suspected ovarian cancer.Between March 2016 October 2017, all consecutive suspicion cancer surgery planned at gynecological oncology center...
Background In addition to the diagnostic accuracy of imaging methods, patient-reported satisfaction with methods is important. Objective To report a secondary outcome prospective international multicenter Imaging Study in Advanced ovArian Cancer (ISAAC Study), detailing patients’ experience abdomino-pelvic ultrasound, whole-body contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (WB-DWI/MRI) for pre-operative ovarian cancer work-up. Methods total, 144...
To assess the interobserver-reality agreement on ovarian cancer staging, when true-status of examined locations is known after pathology or subsequent response to neoadjuvant treatment. This study included 25 reviewers with variable experience (13 highly vs. 12 less experienced, at least 6 months training in a specialised centre) ultrasound staging. Each observer evaluated 380 videoclips from 4 compartments (upper and middle abdomen, pelvis lymph nodes), including 19 anatomical sites 5...
This prospective multicentric study aiming to determine the incidence of complications (malignant transformation, torsion or rupture) during conservative management adnexal masses was performed in two Portuguese tertiary referral hospitals. It included ≥18-year-old, non-pregnant patients with asymptomatic (associated IOTA ADNEX risk malignancy < 10%) sonographically diagnosed between January 2016 and December 2020. Conservative patient consisted serial clinical ultrasound assessment up 60...
ABSTRACT Objectives To externally and prospectively validate the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Simple Rules (SRs), Logistic Regression model 2 (LR2) Assessment of Different NEoplasias in adneXa (ADNEX) a Portuguese population, comparing these approaches with subjective assessment risk‐of‐malignancy index (RMI), as well each other. This study also aimed to retrospectively IOTA two‐step strategy, using modified benign simple descriptors (MBDs) followed by ADNEX cases which MBDs...
Abstract The main goal of this study was to explore the relationship between emergent literacy beliefs and practices among Portuguese preschool teachers investigate moderating role experience training (initial continuous). participants were 266 working in Portugal. results indicate higher levels holistic than technicist regarding literacy. Practices aimed at promoting oral language phonological awareness reported as most frequently used classroom. Teachers who had continuous more performed...
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, CT, and WB-DWI/MRI (whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted sequence) in ovarian cancer staging. Patients planned for surgery at a Gynecologic oncology centre were enrolled. They underwent preoperative staging WB-DWI/MRI, following single predefined evaluation form. Findings compared to reference standard (intraoperative histopathological forms). The assessed peritoneal spread 17 sites metastatic lymph nodes 7 sites. Twenty-one patients...
To report patients' experience with ultrasound, whole-body computed tomography (CT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI/MRI) for preoperative ovarian cancer staging. 144 patients suspected at four institutions in two countries (Italy, Czechia) underwent CT WB-DWI/MRI staging purposes between January 2020 November 2022. [WL1] After having undergone all three examinations, the filled a questionnaire evaluating their five domains: overall experience, preparation before...
To evaluate diagnostic performance of ultrasound, CT and WB-DWI/MRI (whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted sequence) in preoperative work-up assessment optimal operability patients ovarian cancer. Patients planned for cancer surgery at a single gynecologic oncology centre were prospectively enrolled into the study. They underwent staging CT, WB-DWI/MRI, using same evaluation form. Intraoperative pathology reports served as reference standard. Peritoneal spread was evaluated 17 sites...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> The aim of the European multicentric prospective study (ISAAC study, Imaging Study on Advanced ovArian cancer) was to test non-inferiority abdomino-pelvic ultrasound compared computed tomography (CT) and whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI/MRI) in prediction surgical outcome patients with ovarian/tubal/peritoneal cancer. <h3>Methodology</h3> All consecutive patients, suspected ovarian cancer planned for surgery underwent...
Ocorrendo habitualmente após um stress físico ou emocional intenso, a miocardiopatia de Takotsubo caracteriza-se por disfunção aguda e transitória do segmento apical ventrículo esquerdo, mimetizando uma síndrome coronária aguda. Essa é rara, na qual o diagnóstico diferencial assume particular importância. Um elevado nível suspeição essencial, pelo que obstetras restante da equipe devem estar preparados para diagnosticar lidar com esse evento inesperado. O tratamento fundamentalmente suporte,...
