Background: The personalization of oncologic treatment using radiomic signatures is mounting in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We ascertain the predictive ability of 3D volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture features on NPC disease recurrence.
Methods: A retrospective study of 58 patients with NPC undergoing primary curative-intent treatment was performed.
Background: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is increasingly performed among the elderly for obscure bleeding. Our aim was to report on the utility of VCE to uncover unsuspected Crohn's disease (CD) in elderly patients.
Methods: Retrospective review of VCE performed in elderly patients (≥70 y) at a tertiary hospital (2010-2015).
Background: Growth impairment remains a major concern in children with Crohn's disease, but evidence remains unclear, in particular, whether steroid use is implicated. We aimed to (1) determine the frequency of temporary (TGI) and permanent (PGI) growth impairment in children administered steroids and (2) examine whether cumulative steroid administration was associated with TGI and/or PGI.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in patients with Crohn's disease (<18 yr) administered steroids at the gastroenterology clinics of Sainte-Justine Hospital, Montreal.
