Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is defined as a complex of heterogeneous symptoms, consisting upper abdominal pain and dyspepsia, which recur and/or persist after cholecystectomy. Nevertheless, this term inaccurate, it encompasses biliary non-biliary disorders, possibly unrelated to Biliary manifestations PCS may occur early in the post-operative period, usually because incomplete surgery (retained calculi cystic duct remnant or common bile duct) operative complications, such injury...
Background Most studies assessing interreader agreement of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System v. 2 (PI‐RADS v2) have used biopsy as the standard reference, thus carrying risk not definitively noting all existent cancers. Purpose To evaluate in prostate cancer (PCa) PI‐RADS v2, using whole‐mount histology reference. Study Type Monocentric prospective cohort study. Population In all, 48 patients with biopsy‐proven PCa referred for radical prostatectomy, undergoing staging...
Patients with connective tissue diseases can develop interstitial lung disease (ILD), leading to a progressive fibrosing ILD (PF-ILD) phenotype in some cases. We aimed investigate the occurrence of PF-ILD idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), and factors potentially predicting this phenotype. Secondary aims were assess radiological pattern associated IIMs-ILD.Patients IIMs from our multicentric prospective cohort retrospectively evaluated. Data recorded at diagnosis, during follow-up....
Background It is unclear whether clinical models including the Partin tables (PT), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center nomogram (MSKCCn), and cancer of prostate risk assessment (CAPRA) can benefit from incorporating multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) when staging (PCa). Purpose To compare accuracy models, mpMRI, mpMRI plus in predicting stage ≥pT3 PCa. Study Type Prospective monocentric cohort study. Population Seventy‐three patients who underwent radical prostatectomy...
Objectives: To compare the effect of different PSA density (PSAD) thresholds on accuracy for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) Prostate Imaging Reporting And Data System v.2.1 (PI-RADSv2.1). Methods: We retrospectively included 123 biopsy-naïve men who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and transperineal mpMRI-targeted systematic biopsy between April 2019 October 2020. mpMRI, obtained a 3.0T magnet with PI-RADSv2.1-compliant protocol, was read by two...
Abstract Objectives To retrospectively investigate whether a case-by-case combination of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS) with Likert score improves diagnostic performance mpMRI for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), especially by reducing false-positives. Methods One hundred men received between January 2020 April 2021, followed biopsy. Reader 1 (R1) reader 2 (R2) (experience > 3000 < 200 readings) independently reviewed mpMRIs PI-RADS...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the performance of Diffusion levels (DLs) in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) when combined with PI-RADS version 2.1. Materials and methods This retrospective, bicentric study included 261 men who underwent 3.0-T MRI between March 2020 April 2023, receiving systematic target biopsy on ≥ 3 lesions. Two readers measured Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) 1–5 findings peripheral zone. By plotting cumulative frequency csPCa versus...
Objective: To retrospectively compare portal venous phase (PVP) and delayed (DP) for the detection of tumor washout at gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in cirrhotic patients with hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Thirty-three 55 HCCs underwent 1.5-T MRI by means fat-suppressed T1-weighted sequence obtained before after dimeglumine administration, during early late arterial phases, PVP (70 seconds), DP (180 seconds). Detection rates...
The Torricelli-Bernoulli sign is a rare radiologic seen on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which helps direct the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumor. It indicates presence non-dependent air trapped within necrotic ulcer located in tumor; sometimes, vertical stream bubbles emanating from opening present. term first appeared literature 1999, referring to homonymous physical theorems.
