Abstract Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) represents an effective treatment option for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB). This retrospective, bicentric study evaluated the safety and efficacy of TAE in 77 patients with LGIB. The mean patient age was 68.39 ± 17.54 years, pre-procedural hemoglobin 7.87 1.89 g/dL. most common cause LGIB angiodysplasia (36.2%). Pre-procedural computed tomography angiography (CTA) detected active 83% cases. Technical success achieved 98.7%...
Lumbar back pain is one of the main causes disability around world. Most patients will complain at least once in their lifetime. The degenerative spine considered cause and extremely common elderly population. Consequently, treatment-related costs are a major burden to healthcare system developed undeveloped countries. After failure conservative treatments or avoid daily chronic drug intake, invasive should be suggested. In world where many reject surgery prefer minimally procedures,...
Abstract Purpose To report response rates (using mRECIST), overall survival (OS), progression-free and local tumour recurrence-free (LRFS) of balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolisation (bTACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials Methods Patients from five European centres treated with conventional or drug-eluting microsphere bTACE HCC were included, patients already lost to follow-up before 12 months excluded. Possible factors contributing LRFS OS evaluated Cox proportional...
Rectal cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the large intestine resulting from uncontrolled proliferation rectal tract. Predicting pathologic response neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy at an MRI primary staging scan in patients affected by locally advanced (LARC) could lead to significant improvement survival and quality life patients. In this study, possibility automatizing estimation scan, using fully automated artificial intelligence-based model for segmentation consequent characterization tumor...
The Prostate Imaging and Reporting Data System (PI-RADS) has a key role in the management of prostate cancer (PCa). However, clinical interpretation PI-RADS 3 score lesions may be challenging misleading, thus postponing PCa diagnosis to biopsy outcome. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomic analysis represent stand-alone noninvasive tool for diagnosis. Hence, this study aims at developing mpMRI-based diagnostic model cohort lesions. We enrolled 133 patients with 155...
Regenerative medicine is taking a step forward in treating multiple diseases. The possibility of renewing damaged tissues with stem cells has become topic interest recent decades. Still relatively new research topic, many issues this discipline are being addressed, from cell culturing to the study different graft materials, and, moreover, delivery. For instance, direct intravenous injection big downfall regarding its lack precision and poorly targeted treatment. Trans-arterial percutaneous...
To evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) parameters, such as TransPA (transverse prostate maximum sectional area), TransCGA central gland TransPZA peripheral zone and TransPAI (TransPZA/TransCGA ratio) in predicting cancer (PCa) reporting data system (PI-RADS) 3 lesions.Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) negative (NPV), the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), best cut-off, were calculated. Univariate multivariate analyses...
Paraganglioma (PGL) is characterized by equivocal clinical manifestations and arriving to a suspicion might be challenging. Nevertheless, diagnostic imaging nuclear medicine are fundamental part of the diagnosis management this particular neuroendocrine tumor (NET). We herein report rare case bladder paraganglioma with unusual onset typical PET/CT characteristics that led its recognition.
