Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) is an emerging non-ionising technology with the potential to detect breast pathology. The investigational device considered in this article a low-power electromagnetic wave MBI prototype that demonstrated ability dielectric contrast between tumour phantoms and synthetic fibroglandular tissue preclinical studies. Herein, we evaluate system clinical setting. capacity of localise tumours addition benign pathology assessed. Secondly, safety profile patient...
ABSTRACT Carcinoid tumours are slow‐growing neuroendocrine neoplasms mainly affecting the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tree, ovaries and kidneys. Approximately 20% of patients with carcinoid tumour affected by syndrome, characterised chronic diarrhoea and/or flushing in presence systemically elevated levels specific markers as serotonin or 5‐hydroxyindolacetic acid. Skin manifestations include face, neck anterior surface chest but after repeated prolonged relapses, skin lesions become...
Abstract Introduction Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been shown to be an effective technique in providing post-operative analgesia across a range of intra-abdominal surgeries. Laparoscopic-assisted TAP (LTAP) is recent advancement this technique. This study aimed evaluate the effectiveness LTAP compared port site infiltration (PSI) patients undergoing laparoscopic appendicectomy. Methods A single-blinded randomised controlled trial was performed compare standard PSI after...
Oncotype DX™ (ODX) score estimates prognosis and predicts breast cancer recurrence. It also individualizes patient adjuvant chemotherapy prescription in cancer. This assay relies on genetic molecular markers; the clinicopathological phenotype of which are tested routinely. The aim this study was determine whether immunohistochemical information ODX recurrence (RS). Secondly, to assess impact (AC) oncological outcome testing patients a European tertiary referral center. Estrogen receptor...
In this paper, preliminary results of the first-in-human clinical investigation with Wavelia Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) system prototype are presented. The feasibility system, in terms potential to detect both malignant and benign palpable breast lesions, is illustrated MBI two patient scans. Some identified technical challenges related positioning deformation also discussed.
The Wavelia Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) system, based on non-ionising imaging technology, has demonstrated exciting potential in the detection and localisation of breast pathology symptomatic patients. In this study, ability system to accurately estimate size likelihood malignancy lesions is detailed, its clinical usefulness determined.Institutional review board Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) approval were obtained. Patients recruited from unit three groups; cancer (Group-1),...
Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) is an emerging non-ionizing imaging modality, with the potential to support breast diagnosis and management. Wavelia MBI system prototype, of 1st generation, which has recently completed a First-In-Human (FiH) clinical investigation on 25-symptomatic patient cohort, explore capacity technology detect characterize malignant (invasive carcinoma) benign (fibroadenoma, cyst) disease. Two recent publications presented promising results demonstrated by device in this...
Exomphalos anomaly is defined as the herniation of abdominal viscera into base umbilical cord, with only a membranous sac covering these contents. It has an incidence approximately 1 in 4000-6000 births. Management exomphalos major (EM) remains controversial and limited, very few studies to guide decision-making.
