There is currently no consensus regarding preferred clinical outcome measures following image-guided tumor ablation or clear definitions of oncologic end points. This document proposes standardized for a broad range with recommendations on how to uniformly document, analyze, and report outcomes. The initiative was coordinated by the Society Interventional Oncology in collaboration Definition Assessment Time-to-Event End Points Cancer Trials, DATECAN, group. According predefined criteria,...
Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy is an accurate imaging modality for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor. Because detection distant metastases has a major impact on treatment, early metastatic spread great importance. So far, no standard procedure become established bone from We compared diagnostic value CT with that novel somatostatin analog <sup>68</sup>Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-<i>N,N′,N″,N′′′</i>-tetraacetic acid-d-Phe<sup>1</sup>-Tyr<sup>3</sup>-octreotide...
Investigations of a neonate presenting with multiple pleomorphic vascular skin lesions enabled clinical and histological diagnosis blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome to be made. This child had in the conjunctiva, iris, retina, associated local haemorrhages at time birth. All regressed spontaneously, conservative approach management ocular this is therefore suggested.
Abstract Objectives To assess the minimal ablative margin (MAM) by image fusion of intraprocedural pre- and post-ablation contrast-enhanced CT images to evaluate if it can predict local tumor progression (LTP) independently. Furthermore, determine a MAM with which stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) be determined successful therefore used as an tool treatment success. Methods A total 110 patients (20 women, 90 men; mean age 63.7 ± 10.2) 176 hepatocellular carcinomas were assessed...
Abstract Objectives To retrospectively assess the periablational 3D safety margin in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) referred for stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and to evaluate its influence on local treatment success. Methods Forty-five (31 males; mean age 64.5 [range 31–87 years]) 76 CRLM were treated RFA analyzed. Image fusion of pre- post-interventional contrast-enhanced CT scans using a non-rigid registration software enabled retrospective assessment...
Background: HCC is the leading cause of cancer in chronic liver disease. A growing body experimental mouse models supports notion that gut-resident and liver-resident microbes control hepatic immune responses and, thereby, crucially contribute to tumorigenesis. However, a comprehensive characterization intestinal microbiome fueling transition from disease humans currently missing. Methods: Here, we profiled fecal, blood, tissue patients with by 16S rRNA sequencing compared profiles...
PURPOSE: To determine the feasibility of using ultrasonography (US) for evaluation a radial nerve injury associated with humeral shaft fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In prospective study, 11 consecutive patients sensorimotor deficiency after distal fracture were evaluated conventional radiography, US, electroneurography, and electromyography. Surgical repair inspection performed in five patients. The remaining six successfully treated conservatively. US appearance was studied 10 healthy...
Lp(a) concentrations represent a major cardiovascular risk factor and are almost entirely controlled by one single locus (LPA). However, many genetic factors in LPA governing the enormous variance of levels still unknown. Since up to 70% coding sequence located difficult access hypervariable copy number variation named KIV-2, we hypothesized that it may contain novel functional variants with pronounced effects on concentrations. We performed large scale mutation analysis KIV-2 using an...
This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of three-dimensional (3D)-navigated multiprobe radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with intraprocedural image fusion for treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by histopathological examination. From 2009 2018, 97 patients (84 men, 13 women; median age, 60 years; range, 1-71) were transplanted after bridging therapy 195 HCCs stereotactic RFA (SRFA). The interval between first SRFA and transplantation 6.8 months (range, 0-71). rate...

The efficacy procedure assessed at follow-up studies 3, 6, 12, 24 months after intervention. RESULTS: technically clinically...
Summary Nocturnal hypermotor seizures (NHSs) suggest seizure onset in the frontal lobe. We present a patient with NHSs and insular who underwent successful surgical treatment. A 29‐year‐old right‐handed man suffered from intractable since age of 12 years. High‐resolution MRI, [ 18 F]FDG‐PET, neuropsychological examination gave normal results, ictal EEG was obscured by artifacts. Ictal 99m Tc]HMPAO‐SPECT revealed hyperperfusion right anterior part insula operculum. The zone localized based on...
Current treatment guidelines preclude liver transplantation for patients with BCLC B (intermediate stage) HCC, and expanding criteria selected beyond early stage HCC remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine stage-dependent recurrence overall survival rates in transplant recipients the impact response neoadjuvant on outcome.The CT/MRI scans who underwent at our centre during a time period 12 years were reviewed by two radiologists assess tumour according mRECIST.Of 174...

We explored IL-11 serum levels their prognostic value patients suffering from AH cirrhosis various aetiology experimental ALD.
