Objectives: This study evaluates the advantages in diagnostic accuracy, confidence, and reading time of additional dual-energy CT-derived reconstructions for assessing acute bowel ischemia.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective study includes 25 patients with surgically proven acute bowel ischemia and 25 gender- and age-matched controls who underwent biphasic abdominal dual-energy CT. Two fellowship-trained abdominal radiologists and two residents evaluated all cases with and without additional dual-energy CT-derived iodine maps and virtual non-contrast images.
Article Synopsis
- - The emergency plan at University Hospital Würzburg is crucial for managing mass casualty incidents and is legally required, involving regular drills to train staff and evaluate procedures.
- - A recent large-scale disaster drill tested various aspects of the emergency plan, including management structure, triage, and communication, using an anonymous questionnaire for evaluation.
- - While the UKW emergency plan generally performed well, improvements are necessary in communication, staff roles, and awareness of resources, highlighting the need for regular training to ensure effective responses in real emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- * Research using single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed that these distinct beige adipocyte subpopulations, FC-adipocytes and UCP1-beige adipocytes, can coexist and function independently.
- * FC-adipocytes are significantly active in metabolizing energy without UCP1 and play a crucial role in regulating overall energy balance, glucose metabolism, and obesity resistance in humans.
Skeletal muscle quality predicts overall survival in advanced liver hepatocellular carcinoma treated with SIRT and sorafenib: A subanalysis of the SORAMIC trial.
United European Gastroenterol J
October 2024
Background And Aims: Our purpose was to assess the impact of muscle quality on overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced HCC.
Methods: This is a subanalysis of the SORAMIC trial. Overall, 363 patients were included.
Purpose: Holmium-166 has emerged as a promising option for selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) for hepatic malignancies, but data on routine clinical use are lacking. The purpose of this study was to describe the safety and effectiveness of Holmium-166 SIRT in real-world practice through retrospective analysis of a multicenter registry.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on Holmium-166 SIRT procedures performed between July 15, 2019, and July 15, 2021, across seven European centers.
