Cross-Sectional Analyses to Assess the Clinical Safety and Effectiveness of Bisoprolol in Patients With Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Post-hoc Analysis.

Introduction: Elevated central aortic pressure, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance contribute to high morbidity in relation to end organ dysfunction in obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) cases despite revascularization. Bisoprolol preempts further progression of left ventricular dysfunction in such cases due to anti-ischemic and anti-hypertensive effects, further extending its evaluation in local Indian settings.

Methods: Post-hoc analyses of NOCAD patients with epicardial stenosis (N=378, 30 to 70% stenosis) from cross-sectional analyses conducted across eighty centers in India.

Imaging Classification of Exophytic HCC and Our Experience with Microwave Ablation of Type 2 Lesions.

 The purpose of this article is to classify hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on imaging and to evaluate the role of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in the management of type 2 exophytic HCC.  A retrospective study was performed at our institution after approval by the Institutional Review Board. The study was undertaken from January 2017 to May 2022.

Increasing Adherence to Societal Recommendations in Radiology Reporting: A Feasibility Study Using Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Guidelines for Incidentally Detected Gallbladder Polyps.

Incidental findings in diagnostic imaging are common, but follow-up recommendations often lack consistency. The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) issued guidelines in 2021 for managing incidentally detected gallbladder polyps, aiming to balance follow-up with avoiding overtreatment. There is variable adherence to these guidelines in radiology reports, however, which makes it difficult for the clinician to pursue appropriate follow-up for the patient.

CT pulmonary angiography in the inpatients: A 5-year retrospective view at the end of COVID-19 public health emergency.

To retrospectively evaluate the trends in utilization and results of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA study) for detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in the hospital inpatients during different phases of COVID-19 public health emergency. We conducted an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective review of CTPA studies for our hospital inpatients in the years from 2019 to 2023, ranging from the prepandemic year (2019) to the year coinciding with the end of public health declarations (2023). Collected characteristics included patient age, patient sex, and result of the study.

FGFR2 in the Development and Progression of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Cancer.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is an increasingly common malignancy of the skin and the leading cause of death from skin cancer in adults over the age of 85. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has been identified as an important effector of signaling pathways that lead to the growth and development of cSCC. In recent years, there have been numerous studies evaluating the role FGFR2 plays in multiple cancers, its contribution to resistance to anticancer therapy, and new drugs that may be used to inhibit FGFR2.
