Purpose. Burnout syndrome is a condition that may occur not only for staff in human service sectors/jobs, involving intensive interactions with others, but also people are engaged activities psychologically similar to work, such as students. Radiographers training suffer double stress, first linked the status of being university student and secondly early career workers who have relations public health system. Aim our study was investigate prevalence levels burnout among radiographers an...
Rearrangements of unstable DNA sequences may alter the structural integrity or copy number dose-sensitive genes, resulting in variations. They lead more frequently to deletions, addition duplications and/or inversions, which are underlying pathogenic mechanism a group conditions known as genomic disorders (or also contiguous gene syndromes). Interstitial deletions short arm chromosome 1 rare, and only about 30 patients have been reported. Their clinical features variable, respect extent...
To identify the best method among radiologic, laparoscopic and laparotomic scoring assessment to predict outcomes of cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC).Patients AOC who underwent pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan, evaluation, between August 2016 February 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Predictive Index (PI) score Peritoneal Cancer (PCI) scores used estimate tumor load residual disease primary debulking (PDS) interval (IDS) after neoadjuvant...
Abstract Major trauma from high-impact events, such as road traffic accidents and crush injuries, often results in fatal injuries with complex varied mechanisms affecting different regions of the body. In this paper, we review a case series major involving four unique destruction to physiological mediastinal anatomy aim is evaluate post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) 3D multiparametric reconstruction unusual findings scan alteration then compare those traditional autopsy. PMCT helpful...

Background Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy is without doubt a valid method for the detection of sentinel lymph node (SLN). There has been considerable debate regarding optimal site introduction tracer; various sites include peritumoral (PT), periareolar (PA), subdermal, and intradermal injection. Purpose To evaluate retrospectively lymphoscintigraphic identification rate (PT) injection versus subdermal (PA) in SLNs breast cancer. Material Methods Between October 2002 December 2011, cohort...
