Background: Mammography has poor sensitivity in dense breast tissue. Retrospective studies suggest that Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI), has superior diagnostic accuracy to mammography in women with very dense breast tissue. Women's perspectives of MBI are unknown, but are crucial to understanding the feasibility of, and routes to, adoption into practice.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of a surgical logbook for clinicians to document skin surgeries and analyze their outcomes, especially focusing on excision rates in a dermatology department.
- Data was collected over a six-year period from over 5000 skin excisions, revealing a high overall complete excision rate of 97.07% and good diagnostic accuracy for various skin cancers.
- The findings suggest that the logbook serves as a valuable educational and analytical tool that can enhance surgical practices and improve excision outcomes in clinicians' careers.
Purpose: Families living with mitochondrial diseases (MD) often endure prolonged diagnostic journeys and invasive testing, yet many remain without a molecular diagnosis. The Australian Genomics Mitochondrial Flagship, comprising clinicians, diagnostic, and research scientists, conducted a prospective national study to identify the diagnostic utility of singleton genomic sequencing using blood samples.
Methods: A total of 140 children and adults living with suspected MD were recruited using modified Nijmegen criteria (MNC) and randomized to either exome + mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing or genome sequencing.
