The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health care emergency. Although reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction testing the reference standard method to identify patients with COVID-19 infection, chest radiography and CT play vital role in detection management of these patients. Prediction models for imaging are rapidly being developed support medical decision making. However, inadequate availability diverse annotated data set has limited performance...
The purpose of this study is to assess the complication rate percutaneous image-guided biopsy spleen at our institution and evaluate for variables associated with rate.This a Research Ethics Board approved retrospective consecutive patients who underwent from January 2010 November 2019. Complications, imaging findings, pathologic diagnosis were reviewed. Complications (major minor) classified per Society Interventional Radiology Guidelines, was calculated. Logistic regression applied...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role single photon emission computed tomography and/or (SPECT/CT) in differentiating metastatic from benign solitary skull lesions.Consecutive patients who had a SPECT/CT head subsequent whole-body bone scan (WBS) for evaluation lesion were selected. A on WBS further evaluated with characterize lesion. results correlated other radiologic examinations performed within 2 weeks. An average follow-up interval after 8.9 months correlate additional imaging...
Introduction: We aimed to report the clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate in men undergoing magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound (MRI-TRUS)-cognitive fusion (CF) targeted biopsies stratified by Prostate Imaging and Data Reporting System (PI-RADS) version 2 (v2) scores.
 Methods: With a quality assurance waiver from institutional review board, we identified cohort of who underwent MRITRUS- CF synchronous template biopsy 2015–2017. MRI (PI-RADS v2...
Gallbladder cancer is an uncommon malignancy with overall poor prognosis. The clinical and imaging presentation of gallbladder often overlaps benign disease, making diagnosis difficult. most easily diagnosed on when it presents as a mass replacing the gallbladder. At this stage, prognosis usually poor. Recognizing features early in disease can enable complete resection improve Recognition patterns wall enhancement computed tomography help differentiate from disease. thickening without...
Background Previous studies regarding survival in patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) are limited. This study measured overall a large cohort of SVTs through linkage to population‐based data. Methods and Results Using previously derived text‐search algorithm, we screened the reports all abdominal ultrasound contrast‐enhanced computed tomography at The Ottawa Hospital over 14 years. Screen‐positive were manually reviewed by least 2 authors identify definite SVT cases consensus....
Preferential publication of studies with positive findings can lead to overestimation diagnostic test accuracy (i.e. bias).

Bacillus cereus is a common cause of gastrointestinal diseases. The majority individuals with B cereus-related food poisoning recover without any specific treatment. It can, however, rarely invasive disease in immunocompromised patients. Le est une courante de maladie gastro-intestinale. La majorité des individus présentant un empoisonnement alimentaire lié au se rétablissent sans traitement spécifique.

Abstract Purpose Trastuzumab improves survival in patients with HER2+ early breast cancer. However, cardiotoxicity remains a concern, particularly the curative setting, and there are limited data on its incidence outside of clinical trials. We retrospectively evaluated rates (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] decline, congestive heart failure [CHF], cardiac death or trastuzumab discontinuation) assessed performance proposed model to predict routine practice. Methods Patients...
Primary malignant melanoma of the vagina accounts for less than 0.3% all melanomas and approximately 4% vaginal malignancies. We present a case 61-year-old female who presented with complaints difficulty in urination polyp arising from vagina. Local examination showed lateral wall hymenal tag. Histopathological neoplasm simulating leomorphic sarcoma. The tag classical features melanoma. Immunohistochemistry S100 HMB45 confirmed polyp. report this case, on account its rarity unusual...
