Article Synopsis
- Gain-of-function mutations in the CTNNB1 gene, responsible for β-catenin production, are present in 25-30% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), significantly influencing treatment resistance and drug sensitivity.
- A study involving 134 HCC patients aimed to create a non-invasive imaging model to assess β-catenin activation, as liver biopsies pose risks.
- The developed model demonstrated improved predictive accuracy for β-catenin activation when combining qualitative LI-RADS descriptors and quantitative radiomics features, suggesting strong potential for precision medicine strategies in treating HCC.
Hybrid imaging with F-18 fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (FDG PET/MRI) has increasing clinical applications supplementing conventional ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging as well as hybrid PET/CT imaging in assessing cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer. This article summarizes the existing literature and discusses the emerging role of hybrid PET/MRI in gynecologic malignancies. Thus, far, the published literature on the applications of FDG PET/MRI shows that it can have a significant impact on patient management by improving the staging of the cancers compared with PET/CT, influencing clinical decision and treatment strategy.

Case Report: We report on a 7-year old girl presenting with painless unilateral swelling of the left parotid region, present for one month.
Medialization thyroplasty: vocal outcome of silicone and titanium implant.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2011
Unilateral vocal fold paralysis can result in incomplete glottic closure, compromising the vocal efficiency and increasing the risk of aspiration. The glottic gap can be reduced by medialization thyroplasty. Both silicone and titanium implants have been described to be efficient in the improvement of the vocal outcome.

Methods: In seven health centres in Belgium, hepatitis B vaccination was offered free of charge to CSW. In a randomised, prospective study a commercialised hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B 20mcgr) was offered according to one of both schedules.
