According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer becomes fatal only if it spreads throughout the body. Therefore, regular screening is essential. Whilst mammography is the most frequently used technique, its interpretation can be challenging and time-consuming.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCT-guided transthoracic core-needle biopsy (CT-TTNB) is a minimally invasive procedure that plays a crucial role in diagnosing pulmonary nodules. With high diagnostic yield and low complication rates, CT-TTNB is favored over traditional surgical biopsies, providing accuracy in detecting both malignant and benign conditions. This literature review aims to present a comprehensive overview of CT-TTNB, focusing on its indications, procedural techniques, diagnostic yield, and safety considerations.

- - The study investigates the effectiveness of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as an alternative treatment for localized cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the face, focusing on local control, survival rates, and quality of life from 2015 to 2021.
- - Out of 67 patients treated, with a majority having early-stage tumors, the local control rate after three years was 87.05%, and most patients experienced only mild side effects like acute radio-mucositis.
- - Quality of life feedback from patients indicated that 77.8% would recommend HDR brachytherapy, underscoring its effectiveness, tolerance, and positive impact on functional outcomes in
Objective: Evaluating the possibility of predicting chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) disease course using Artificial Intelligence.
Methods: We prospectively included patients undergoing first endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for nasal polyposis. Preoperative (demographic data, blood eosinophiles, endoscopy, Lund-Mackay, SNOT-22 and depression PHQ scores) and follow-up data was standardly collected.
