Since the 1990s, there has been a significant increase in number of imaging examinations as well related healthcare expenditure and exposure population to X-rays. This study aimed analyze workload trends radiology during last decade, including impact COVID-19 single university hospital Poland identify possible solutions challenges that could face future. We compared annual amount computed tomography (CT), radiography (X-ray), ultrasound (US) performed between years 2010 2020 analyzed changes...
Background: Our study analyzes the frequency and risk factors of hyperuricemia use allopurinol in a representative cohort older Polish adult population. Methods: The analysis was part cross-sectional PolSenior on aging Poland. complete medication data were available 4873 out 4979 community dwelling respondents aged 65 over. Serum uric acid concentrations evaluated 4028 participants (80.9% cohort). Results: Hyperuricemia observed 28.2% women 24.7% men. Ten selected based multivariable LASSO...
Analysis of the morphology lesions classified into BI-RADS 4 category and assessment possibility downgrade in those that did not show enhancement on recombinant contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) images.
The ultrasound specialists face a substantial issue with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), characterized by occupation-related pain, reaching an estimated frequency of up to 90.5%. type and location pain vary depending on the sonographers specialty specific anatomical areas being examined. Our study aimed assess prevalence intensity among Polish doctors from various specialties conducting examinations. has been performed between July December 2023, involving 90 participants...
Hyperuricemia accompanies many pathologies that contribute to overall death rate. The population-based multifaceted study of older adults in Poland made it possible assess the effect serum uric acid (SUA) on mortality. PolSenior performed between 2007-2011 included 3926 participants aged 65 years or above (mean age 79 ± 9 years) not treated with xanthin oxidase inhibitors (XOI) who were stratified by sex and SUA concentration into six subgroups increasing 1 mg/dL. In 2019, survival data...

Purpose To assess the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) recombinant images in detecting malignant lesions patients with extremely dense breasts compared to all-densities population. Material and methods 792 808 breast lesions, whom final decision on core-needle biopsy was made based CEM, who received result histopathological examination, were qualified for a single-centre, retrospective study. Patient electronic records imaging examinations reviewed establish demographics,...
Background: A reliable assessment of liver volume, necessary before transplantation, remains a challenge. Our work aimed to assess the differences in evaluation and measurements between independent observers compare different formulas calculating its volume relation volumetric segmentation. Methods: Eight researchers measured standard dimensions based on 105 abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. Based results obtained, was calculated using twelve methods. An observer performed...
Background and objectives: Working in a healthcare setting is associated with high levels of stress burnout syndrome. Work-related quality life (WRQoL) remains insufficiently evaluated among physicians. The aim this study to assess the WRQoL physicians interventional, non-interventional, diagnostic specialties Poland. Materials Methods: Standardized anonymous questionnaires have been filled by 257 working Silesia, After removal missing data, 246 individuals were stratified terms into...
Wprowadzenie Nagłe przejście na nauczanie zdalne spowodowane pandemią COVID-19 jednoznacznie wskazało konieczność wprowadzenia radykalnych zmian technologicznych i instytucjonalnych do nauczania. Programy wspomagane wirtualną rzeczywistością (<i>virtual reality</i> – VR) sztuczną inteligencją (<i>artificial intelligence</i> AI) stają się nowymi skutecznymi metodami wykorzystywanymi w edukacji szkoleniach medycznych. Materiał metody Wirtualna Klinika (Virtual Clinic...
Wykrycie przerzutów do wątroby we wczesnym stadium choroby ma kluczowe znaczenie dla poprawy przeżycia pacjentów. Guzy neuroendokrynne trzustki (<i>pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors</i> – pNETs) i ich przerzuty zwykle ujawniają się jako wcześnie silnie wzmacniające zmiany ogniskowe w tomografii komputerowej z kontrastem (<i>contrast enhanced computed tomography</i> CECT). Jednak stosowanie dożylnych środków kontrastowych jest przeciwwskazane u pacjentów ciężkimi...
Background and Clinical Significance: Femoral neck fracture frequently occurs in the elderly population but may also present patients diagnosed with primary cancer or bone metastases. A pathological, oligosymptomatic associated epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE), a rare endothelial cell-derived sarcoma, is uncommon. Case Presentation: 44-year-old patient underwent biopsy procedures three times (2010, 2012, 2013) for focal lesion of left ischium, none confirming its malignant nature. The...
Background and objectives: Patients diagnosed with incidentally found adrenal tumors (incidentaloma) that do not meet the criteria for surgical treatment require follow-ups repeated imaging. The aim of this study is to compare accuracy measurements tumor size in ultrasound (US) without contrast comparison computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI). Further, attempts answer question whether contrast-enhanced (CEUS) can improve imaging replace CT/MRI monitoring patients tumors....
The overall risk of de novo malignancies in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is higher than that the general population. It associated with long-lasting exposure to immunosuppressive agents and impaired oncological vigilance due chronic disease. Colorectal cancer (CRC), frequently diagnosed an advanced stage, one most common this cohort poor prognosis. Still, because scarcity data concerning adjuvant chemotherapy group, there are no clear guidelines for specific management CRCs KTRs. We...
BACKGROUNDPost-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that develop after solid organ and hematopoietic stem cells transplantation related to intensive immunosuppression regimen, T-cell depletion Epstein-Barr virus infection.Despite the improvement in management PTLD, prognosis remains poor.Here we report two transplanted patients with PTLD infections during immunochemotherapy (ICTH). CASE SUMMARYOf 65-year-old woman 11 years kidney (first case)...
Wstęp Wraz z gwałtownym postępem technicznym i zwiększoną dostępnością badań obrazowych przypadkowo wykryte guzy nadnerczy stały się częstym problemem endokrynologicznym. Celem pracy była charakterystyka pacjentów wykrytymi guzami nadnerczy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wykrywanych nieprawidłowości hormonalnych. Materiał metody Retrospektywne jednoośrodkowe badanie objęło 96 (21 mężczyzn 75 kobiet w wieku 28–88 lat, mediana 62 lata), hospitalizowanych latach 2007–2014 powodu nowo wykrytych...
