Purpose: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been established as a valuable tool for the detection of breast cancer. There is evidence suggesting that diffusion-weighted (DWI) may be useful to distinguish between malignant and benign lesions. We seek evaluate ability DWI differentiate lesions at 3 T. Methods: MRI breasts were performed in 31 female patients (age: mean, 46 years; range, 34-69 years) with suspected on mammography ultrasound using 3-T scanner...
In 2005, the Australian Red Cross Blood Service implemented a malaria antibody testing based strategy for donors with history of travel/residence in endemic country or past malaria. This report assesses safety and efficacy since inception.Eligible blood were tested using Newmarket malarial EIA at least 4 months after their last potential exposure. Where non-reactive quarantined red cells considered transfusion they re-instated cellular component manufacture next donation. The efficiency this...
The purpose of this study is to statistically assess whether bi-exponential intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model better characterizes diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal malignant breast tumor than mono-exponential Gaussian model.3 T DWI data 29 tumors were retrospectively included. Linear least-square fitting and segmented used for apparent coefficient (ADC) IVIM parameter quantification, respectively. F-test Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) the preference using...
Introduction: Herpetic whitlow, due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or 2, typically presents with vesicles that may coalesce into bullae. whitlow often resolves without intervention but can be treated antiviral medications. Case presentation: Herein is a report of 68-year-old female patient history well controlled human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection and 4-year recurrent HSV-2 genitalis who failed multiple trials standard therapy clinically confirming case resistant infection, tender...
Breast cancers related to BRCA mutations are associated with particular biological features. Here we report the clinical and pathological characteristics of breast cancer in Chinese women without carriers BRCA1 compared BRCA2 mutations. Two hundred 26 high-risk Hong Kong were tested for mutations, medical information was obtained from records, risk demographic personal interviews. In this cohort, 28 (12.4%) mutation among these carriers, 39.3% 60.7% Mutation more likely have a familial...
BackgroundThe Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay is validated to assess risk of distant recurrence and likelihood chemotherapy (CT) benefit in estrogen receptor-positive ESBC various populations. In Hong Kong, > 80% breast cancers are early stage cancer (ESBC) 60% these women receive CT. This prospective study measured changes CT type recommendations, as well physician impression assay impact a homogenous Chinese population.MethodsConsecutive patients with receptor-positive, T1-3 N0-1mi M0 were...
Abstract Background Although invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of the breast differs from ductal (IDC) in numerous respects - including its genetics, clinical phenotype, metastatic pattern, and chemosensitivity most experts continue to manage ILC IDC identically adjuvant setting. Here we address this discrepancy by comparing early-stage two cancer patient cohorts differing nationality ethnicity. Methods The clinicopathologic features 2029 consecutive patients diagnosed Hong Kong (HK)...
Round ligament varicosities occur almost exclusively in pregnant and postpartum women present similarly to inguinal hernias clinically, thus posing diagnostic challenges clinicians. The distinction of the two conditions is important as round do not require surgery while do. Rarely, varicosites may be complicated by thrombosis or hemorrhage. In this case report, we a rare varicosity (RLV) which has been thrombosis. radiological features on ultrasound contrast computed tomography thrombosed...
Introduction:A magnetic seed marker system (Magseed, Endomagnetics, Cambridge, United Kingdom) is used as a localisation method for nonpalpable breast lesions in the States, Europe, and Hong Kong.It overcomes many limitations of conventional techniques allows scheduling flexibility.We sought to evaluate its efficacy safety Chinese population. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all women who underwent markerguided lesion excision from June 2019 February 2020 at single institution.Placement...
Transcription from reticuloenodotheliosis virus strain T (REV-T), an avian retrovirus unrelated to leukosis and sarcoma viruses, is modulated by sequences in at least five functional domains. A promoter containing a TATA multiple CCAAT motifs U3 of the long terminal repeat was absolutely required for transcription. Transcriptional efficiency greatly augmented enhancer immediately upstream, which contained 22-base-pair repeated sequence. further influenced negative-acting domain 5' region two...
Streptococcus pseudoporcinus is a beta-hemolytic Gram-positive, catalase-negative, nonmotile coccus arranged in short chains, usually found the female genitourinary tract and differentiated from porcinus 2006. Only two human infections associated with this organism have been reported to date: one patient first digit wound infection another lower extremity cellulitis. We describe novel cases of causing endocarditis pneumonia empyema another, illustrating potential these bacteria cause severe...
Case reportA 33-year-old nulligravid Filipino woman was admitted to the gynaecology ward of Princess Margaret Hospital in April 2014, with lower abdominal pain and recurrent retention urine.Her pregnancy test positive.Per-vaginal examination revealed a 4-cm firm, fixed, wide-based vaginal mass smooth wall over upper anterior vagina.Bedside transabdominal ultrasonography confirmed 4.5-cm solid vagina 3.5-cm intramural fibroid left side uterus.No adnexal or free fluid seen.Beta human chorionic...
