Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Relation to Leiomyoma Volume, Location, and Position in Reproductive-aged Women in the USA.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Uterine leiomyomata are widely believed to contribute to lower urinary tract symptoms in women, but it is unclear whether leiomyoma size, position, and location have important implications for these symptoms. We assessed whether greater leiomyoma volume, anterior position, and subserosal location were associated with urinary incontinence and frequent urination in a racially diverse, nationwide sample of premenopausal women in the USA.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 477 premenopausal women from 12 USA sites undergoing evaluation for laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation or myomectomy for leiomyomata was carried out.

Mammographic and Sonographic Findings of Intraductal Papilloma of the Right Breast: A Case Report.

Intraductal papillomas are tumors that arise in the epithelial cells of the mammary duct. Common presenting symptoms for intraductal papilloma include serous or serosanguinous nipple discharge or a palpable mass. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with spontaneous right breast nipple discharge and a palpable mass.

Impact of same day screening mammogram results on women's satisfaction and overall breast cancer screening experience: a quality improvement survey analysis.

Background: Most women undergoing screening examinations in the U.S. do not receive immediate results and for many this results in increased stress, inconvenience, delayed diagnosis, and potential loss to follow-up.

Collaboration, Collegiality, and Sharing of Resources: Benefits of a Visiting Professor Exchange Program in Breast Imaging.

The role of a visiting professor (VP) has long been used as a model to share medical knowledge and new advances between different teaching institutions. As with all subspecialties, breast imaging has institution-specific differences in resources and faculty. Sharing of resources between programs can have a profound impact on enriching educational experiences for learners.

Communicating Mammography Results: By What Method and How Quickly Do Women Want Their Screening Mammogram Results?

The purpose of the survey study was to understand the majority preference with regards to the wait time for screening mammogram results, whether prompt communication of mammogram results was of importance to patients, whether the time frame to schedule an additional imaging follow-up appointment after an abnormal screening mammogram was important to patients, and how patients preferred to be given their screening mammogram results. There were 2,245 patients who participated in the survey. A majority of patients preferred to receive screening mammogram results on Friday (n = 1,868, 85.

A Noninvasive Blood-based Combinatorial Proteomic Biomarker Assay to Detect Breast Cancer in Women Under the Age of 50 Years.

Background: Despite significant advances in breast imaging, the ability to detect breast cancer (BC) remains a challenge. To address the unmet needs of the current BC detection paradigm, 2 prospective clinical trials were conducted to develop a blood-based combinatorial proteomic biomarker assay (Videssa Breast) to accurately detect BC and reduce false positives (FPs) from suspicious imaging findings.

Patients And Methods: Provista-001 and Provista-002 (cohort one) enrolled Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 3 or 4 women aged under 50 years.

A prospective comparative study to evaluate the displacement of four commercially available breast biopsy markers.

Objective: Radiopaque markers are commonly deployed following breast biopsies to indicate the location of the targeted lesion. A frequently encountered complication is the displacement of these markers. This study compared the degree of displacement among four newer generation markers after stereotactic core needle biopsy.

Fat Necrosis of the Breast: A Pictorial Review of the Mammographic, Ultrasound, CT, and MRI Findings with Histopathologic Correlation.

Fat necrosis of the breast is a challenging diagnosis due to the various appearances on mammography, ultrasound, CT, PET-CT, and MRI. Although mammography is more specific, ultrasound is a very important tool in making the diagnosis of fat necrosis. MRI has a wide spectrum of findings for fat necrosis and the appearance is the result of the amount of the inflammatory reaction, the amount of liquefied fat, and the degree of fibrosis.

Assessing improvement in detection of breast cancer with three-dimensional automated breast US in women with dense breast tissue: the SomoInsight Study.

Purpose: To determine improvement in breast cancer detection by using supplemental three-dimensional (3D) automated breast (AB) ultrasonography (US) with screening mammography versus screening mammography alone in asymptomatic women with dense breasts.

Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval and written informed consent were obtained for this HIPAA-compliant study. The SomoInsight Study was an observational, multicenter study conducted between 2009 and 2011.

Effects of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) and Terminalia arjuna (Arjuna) on physical performance and cardiorespiratory endurance in healthy young adults.

Introduction: Several medicinal plants have been described to be beneficial for cardiac ailments in Ayurveda like Ashwagandha and Arjuna. Ashwagandha-categorised as Rasayanas, and described to promote health and longevity and Arjuna primarily for heart ailments. coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, anginal pain and can be considered as a useful drug for coronary artery disease, hypertension and ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: MR imaging findings with histopathologic correlation.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a noninvasive malignancy that is commonly encountered at routine breast imaging. It may be a primary tumor or may be seen in association with other focal higher-grade tumors. Early detection is important because of the large proportion of DCIS that can progress to invasive carcinoma.
