Objective Patients use several online resources to learn about vocal cord paralysis (VCP). The objective of this study was assess the readability and understandability VCP patient education materials (PEMs), with assessments Patient Education Materials Evaluation Tool (PEMAT), respectively. relationship between then analyzed. Study Design Setting Descriptive correlational design. Method Online PEMs were identified by performing a Google search term “vocal paralysis.” After scientific...
Background: although C-reactive protein (CRP) is widely used in younger populations, its value for diagnosing bacterial infection older population not well established. This study examined the usefulness of serum CRP level early detection patients. Methods: a prospective cohort study, consecutive patients aged 70 years or over admitted to Aged Care wards were recruited. levels measured within 24 h presentation, and their significance predicting infections was analysed. The relationship...
Background: Renal-cell carcinoma is the most common kidney cancer and 13th cause of death worldwide. Partial nephrectomy percutaneous ablation, increasingly utilized to treat small renal masses preserve parenchyma, require precise preoperative imaging interpretation. We sought develop evaluate a convolutional neural network (CNN), type deep learning (DL) artificial intelligence (AI), act as surgical planning aid by determining tumor volumes through segmentation on single-phase CT. Materials...
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the readability, understandability, suitability and actionability online psoriasis patient educational materials. A secondary identify areas for improvement.We conducted an evaluation assess materials from American Academy Dermatology National Psoriasis Foundation available in July 2017. We used two validated assessment tools specific healthcare Outcomes were expressed as percentages, where higher percentages corresponded quality...
Endometriomas are a type of ovarian cyst composed degenerated blood products from hemorrhage ectopic endometrial tissue. can rupture, causing hemoperitoneum, and present with signs symptoms similar to other, more common abdominal emergencies. Therefore, they not often diagnosed preoperatively. Ultrasound cross-sectional imaging assist in diagnosis endometriomas. We case ruptured endometrioma massive hemoperitoneum that was initially suspected represent malignancy carcinomatosis.A 32-year-old...
BackgroundLipoleiomyomas are uncommon uterine lesions containing adipose and smooth muscle tissue. They have a variable presentation usually found incidentally on imaging or post-hysterectomy tissue analysis. Given their low prevalence, there is dearth of literature describing characteristics for lipoleiomyomas. In this image-rich case series, we summarize an example initial as well present ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MRI) findings 36 patients.Case...
This protocol details the extraction of milk small molecules for untargeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). can be adapted to other sample types. is not a final document, peer-reviewed and it updated.
Abstract Background Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare and usually benign condition in which multiple thin-walled cysts develop the submucosa or subserosa of gastrointestinal tract. While asymptomatic, severe cases can result pneumoperitoneum, be managed surgically medically depending on circumstances. We present case patient with pneumatosis intestinalis, presented as pneumoperitoneum following trauma. To our knowledge, there are no other published trauma was found to have...
Renal capillary hemangiomas are rare and benign vascular tumors which typically incidentally discovered on imaging. Surgical excision is often performed, as imaging appearance similar to malignant lesions. solitary unilateral. We present a case of multiple renal in patient with end-stage disease. Two were detected 2 smaller upon pathological evaluation, suggesting there may be wider prevalence smaller, radiographically-occult hemangiomas.
Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer worldwide. Although radiologists assess enhancement patterns renal tumors to predict tumor pathology report, our knowledge, no formal scoring system has been created and validated level neovascularity in RCC, despite its critical role metastases. In this study, we characterized analyzed angiogenesis tumor-burdened kidneys their benign counterparts. We then a scale for that can help staging RCC. Methods: After...

Hepatosplenomegaly is commonly diagnosed by radiologists based on single dimension measurements and heuristic cut-offs. Volumetric may be more accurate for diagnosing organ enlargement. Artificial intelligence techniques able to automatically calculate liver spleen volume facilitate diagnosis. After IRB approval, 2 convolutional neural networks (CNN) were developed segment the a training dataset comprised of 500 single-phase, contrast-enhanced CT abdomen pelvis examinations. A separate ten...
Purpose: Early characterization of small (T1a, <4 cm) renal masses is imperative for patient care and treatment planning. Renal biopsy a sensitive specific procedure that can accurately differentiate as malignant or benign. However, it an invasive with nonnegligible complication rate not performed routinely at most institutions. In this study, we sought to apply the Retroperitoneal Vascularity Assessment Scoring in Carcinoma (Re-VASC) scoring system T1a analyzed whether could these benign...
