Accuracy of MRI in predicting deep myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer and the influence of leiomyoma, adenomyosis and the microcystic elongated and fragmented tumour pattern.

Introduction: The most common form of endometrial cancer is Type 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Depth of myometrial invasion is the most important prognostic factor correlating with overall patient survival. The objective was to investigate how accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is in predicting the depth of myometrial invasion in preoperative assessment, and the influence of leiomyoma and/or adenomyosis, or microcystic, elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern of invasion on MRI diagnostic performance.

Media reporting of health interventions in New Zealand: a retrospective analysis.

Aim: To evaluate New Zealand media articles on their coverage of key issues regarding health interventions and whether it is consistent with available evidence.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out of all articles published in five New Zealand media sources over a 6-week period between 15 October and 26 November 2014. Articles were included if their primary focus was on health interventions involving medications, devices or in-hospital procedures.

Radiation burden of pediatric ultrasound-guided percutaneous central venous access devices: A prospective cohort study.

Unlabelled: Permanent central venous access is essential for the management of many pediatric patients. Knowing the amount of ionizing radiation used during the insertion of these devices is important. Our aim was to identify the radiation used in percutaneous insertion of central venous access devices, and to correlate radiation exposure to patient weight.
