It has been reported that engagement of the Hill-Sachs lesion affects postoperative recurrence anterior shoulder instability. However, no method recognized as an effective preoperative means to predict lesion.This study was undertaken assess diagnostic validity computed tomography (CT) with 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction judge preoperatively.Cohort (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2.One hundred four consecutive patients (107 shoulders) who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair for traumatic...

Few studies that meticulously match individual lymph nodes seen on MRI with their precise histologic counterparts after total mesorectal excision have been reported.The objective of this study was to determine whether preoperative could detect node metastases accurately in the node-by-node analysis.This a prospective, observational cohort study.The conducted at tertiary-care hospital.Forty patients rectal cancer were enrolled.Specimens assessed using for clinical staging.

Background: In rotator cuff repair, no practical guidelines exist for deciding which technique is the most beneficial to outcomes. Purpose: To determine of 2 repair techniques, single-row (SR) and double-row suture bridge (DR-SB) methods, leads better therapeutic outcomes in terms remnant tendon length patients with larger than medium-sized tears. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: Remnant length, muscle atrophy, fatty degeneration were measured on preoperative magnetic...

Purpose In node‐negative disease, the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is reported to be an unfavorable prognostic factor. Thus, aim this study was evaluate whether preoperative breast MRI features are associated with LVI in patients invasive cancer by a propensity‐matched analysis. Materials and Methods Among 389 ductal who had 3.0 Tesla precontrast T2‐weighted fat‐suppressed, pre‐ dynamic postcontrast T1‐weighted fat‐suppressed sequences, 61 (LVI group) were matched 183 without...

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess whether measurement quantitative enhancement during three-phase MDCT can help differentiate clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC) from papillary RCC, chromophobe and fat-poor angiomyolipoma.During preoperative (unenhanced, corticomedullary, early excretory phases), 563 lesions were identified in 552 consecutively registered patients. assessed for attenuation each phase, the values compared by t test. Cutoff analysis (percentage ratio,...

KITENIN was previously reported to promote metastasis in mouse colon tumour models; however, the signalling mechanism of at cellular level unknown. Here functional role with respect colorectal cancer (CRC) cell invasion and its expression CRC tissues were investigated.The effect on motility analysed a migration assay upon overexpression knockdown. Immunoprecipitation used elucidate binding partners, immunohistochemistry study levels.KITENIN enhanced rat intestinal epithelial cells, whereas...

The value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for reliable differentiation between pathologic complete response (pCR) and residual tumor is still unclear. Recently, a few studies reported that histogram analysis can be helpful to monitor the therapeutic in various cancer research.To investigate whether post-chemoradiotherapy (CRT) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) predict pCR locally advanced rectal (LARC).Fifty patients who underwent preoperative CRT followed by surgery were enrolled...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic relevance a modified 3-point MRI-based tumor regression grading system incorporating DWI for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT).Between March 2012 and September 2013, 118 consecutively registered middle or lower who underwent CRT followed by surgery were enrolled in retrospective study. Two radiologists consensus assessed MRI grade (mrTRG) based on T2-weighted images high b value DW...

To date only few data have been available relating to the oncologic safety of intersphincteric resection in such advanced tumors.This study aimed elucidate outcomes and clinical factors affecting long-term survival patients who underwent preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by for locally rectal cancers.This was a retrospective analysis prospectively collected departmental data.The conducted at department colorectal surgery tertiary care teaching hospital between January 2009 September...

Although the role of axillary imaging has been redirected for predicting high nodal burden rather than metastases since ACOSOG Z1011 trial, it remains unclear whether and how lymph node (ALN) characteristics predicts burden. Our study was aimed to evaluate predictive value ALNs at ultrasound magnetic resonance (MRI) prediction (≥3 metastatic ALNs) in clinically node-negative breast cancer patients.Clinicopathological were evaluated patients with (n = 312) MRI 256). Imaging include number...

Synthetic MR imaging is a time-efficient technique. However, its rather long scan time can be challenging for children. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of accelerated synthetic with deep learning-based reconstruction in pediatric neuroimaging and investigate impact on image quality quantitative values imaging.This included 47 children 2.3-14.7 years age who underwent both standard at 3T. The was reconstructed using learning pipeline. quality, lesion detectability,...

Internal hernias are rare causes of small bowel obstruction, and one such internal hernia is the paracecal hernia. We report a case obstruction related to in which preoperative diagnosis was made on computed tomography. A laparotomy performed for definitive treatment. The surgery achieved good outcome.

Systemic inflammatory response (SIR) has been reported to be an important determinant of disease progression and survival in patients with colorectal cancer. This study investigated the prognostic relevance changes platelet count on predictive value platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR) pathological tumor preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).From 2006 2015, 291 consecutive LARC who were treated CRT followed by curative surgery at...

BACKGROUND: Rectal cancer patients who underwent lateral pelvic node dissection might be at higher risk of postoperative complications derived from technical complexity. However, little is known about the long-term after dissection. OBJECTIVES: To investigate preoperative chemoradiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision with for locally advanced rectal cancer. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis a prospectively collected database. SETTINGS: This study was conducted in tertiary center....

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are known to spontaneously regress.To assess the predictive value of ultrasonography for patients requiring conservative treatment pregnancy related AVMs.Our prospective study included 75 (conservative management:therapeutic management = 45:30) with vaginal bleeding from pregnancy-related AVM. Clinical and examinations were reviewed, following information was gathered: complete blood count, AVM maximal diameter, echogenicity, retained product...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the risk malignancy and determine which clinical variables differentiate between benign malignant focal breast lesions found incidentally on (18)F-flourodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed (FDG PET/CT).From March 2005 October 2011, 21,224 women with no history cancer underwent FDG PET/CT at three university-affiliated hospitals. We retrospectively identified 214 patients incidental hypermetabolic grouped them into lesion groups. Of...
