Gray matter (GM) damage and meningeal inflammation have been associated with early disease onset a more aggressive course in multiple sclerosis (MS), but can these changes be identified the patient course?To identify possible biomarkers linking inflammation, GM damage, severity, gene protein expression were analyzed meninges cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 27 postmortem secondary progressive MS 14 control cases. Combined cytokine/chemokine CSF profiling 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

Purpose To examine the outcomes of a breast cancer screening program based on digital tomosynthesis (DBT) plus synthesized two-dimensional (2D) mammography compared with those after full-field (FFDM). Materials and Methods This prospective study included 16 666 asymptomatic women aged 50-69 years who were recruited in April 2015 through March 2016 for DBT synthetic 2D Verona program. A comparison cohort screened FFDM (n = 14 423) previous year was included. Screening detection measures two...

In the era of precision medicine, increasing importance is given to machine learning (ML) applications. breast cancer, advanced analyses, such as radiomic process, characterise tumours and predict therapy responses. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in screening, staging, treatment monitoring. Lesion segmentation on MRI essential both assess tumour growth baseline for feature extraction. Manual time-consuming prone inter-operator variability, limiting access large...

<h2>Abstract</h2> Percutaneous core biopsy (CB) has been introduced to increase the ability of accurately diagnosing breast malignancies without need resorting surgery. Compared conventional automated 14 gauge needle (NCB), vacuum-assisted (VANCB) allows obtaining larger specimens and recognized advantages particularly when radiological pattern is represented by microcalcifications. Regardless technical improvements, a small percentage percutaneous CBs performed detect lesions are still...

Objective Intrathecal inflammation correlates with the grey matter damage since early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), but whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile can help to identify patients at risk disease activity is still unclear. Methods We evaluated association between CSF levels 18 cytokines, previously found be associated damage, and activity, among 99 relapsing‐remitting MS, who underwent blinded clinical 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations for 4 years. Groups...

Abstract Objectives Preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can inform surgical planning but might cause overtreatment by increasing the mastectomy rate. The Multicenter International Prospective Analysis (MIPA) study investigated this controversial issue. Methods This observational enrolled women aged 18–80 years with biopsy-proven cancer, who underwent MRI in addition to conventional (mammography and/or ultrasonography) or alone before surgery as routine practice at 27...

Abstract Introduction Ocrelizumab (OCR) and Fingolimod (FGL) are two high-efficacy treatments in multiple sclerosis which, besides their strong anti-inflammatory activity, may limit neurodegeneration. Aim To compare the effect of OCR FGL on clinical MRI endpoints. Methods 95 relapsing–remitting patients (57 OCR, 38 FGL) clinically followed for 36 months underwent a 3-Tesla at baseline after 24 months. The annualized relapse rate, EDSS, new cortical/white matter lesions regional cortical deep...
