Combining Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Radioactive-Free Magnetic Seed Localization of Non-palpable Breast Tumors: A Feasibility Study.

Magnetic seed localization is a novel and reliable technique for perioperative localization of non-palpable breast cancers. However, due to susceptibility artifacts, magnetic seeds cannot be during response monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with MRI. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) could provide an alternative modality for response monitoring while magnetic seeds are .

Fixation of Skin Flaps after Mastectomy Using Running or Interrupted Sutures for Combatting Seroma: A Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial (ANNIE).

Introduction: Flap fixation significantly reduces the incidence of seroma formation after mastectomy. Previous studies have compared running sutures, interrupted sutures, and tissue glue application with conventional wound closure. A recent systematic review with network meta-analysis showed running sutures to be the most optimal technique; however, direct comparisons and high adequate scientific evidence are lacking.

lnsights into Adjuvant Systemic Treatment Selection for Patients with Stage III Melanoma: Data from the Dutch Cancer Registry.

Background: Patient demographics and shared decision making might influence the choice of adjuvant therapy for stage III melanoma.

Objective: To identify factors for treatment selection of patients diagnosed with stage III melanoma to better understand current treatment decisions and improve further treatment counseling.

Patients And Methods: Data from 2007 patients diagnosed with stage III melanoma, between December 2018 and 2021, sourced from the Dutch Cancer Registry, were analyzed.

Advanced osteoarthritis of the hip as reason for extensive asymmetric leg edema: a rare case report and review of the literature.

An enlarged iliopectineal bursa (IB) can cause pressure on iliofemoral veins. Clinical presentation can manifest as asymmetrical lower extremity edema. This case report demonstrates extensive asymmetrical leg edema caused by femoral vein compression based on iliopectineal bursitis (IB-itis) associated with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the left hip joint with an outline of relevant current literature.

Excellent survival of two anatomically adapted hydroxyapatite coated cementless Total Hip Arthroplasties. A mean follow-up of 11.3 years.

There are many different types of cementless anatomically adapted Total Hip Arthroplasties (THAs) on the market, the Anatomic Benoist Gerard (ABG) I and II are such types of cementless THAs. In this retrospective single-centre study we evaluated the overall survival with revision for any reason and aseptic loosening as endpoint at more than 11 years follow-up. Between 2000 and 2004, 244 cementless THAs were performed in 230 patients in a primary care hospital.
