Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis requires various imaging techniques like echocardiography and CT scans, with definitive confirmation through histological analysis.
- * A case study is presented of a young male who experienced a syncopal event after using cocaine, leading to imaging that revealed a cardiac mass, ultimately diagnosed as a malignant tumor.
Article Synopsis
- * A survey of 159 centers showed that over 30% of echocardiography workloads are related to cancer, with most centers primarily using TTE to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, many are still using outdated methods for these assessments.
- * The findings indicate a significant gap between current practices and recommended standards, highlighting the need for better collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists to improve cancer patient care and establish dedicated cardio-oncology services.
The primary aim of this study was to explore the effects of team sports practice on bone health indices in adults engaged in team sports. The secondary aim was to investigate the osteogenic effects of each type of team sport. This systematic literature search was conducted using common electronic databases from inception in June 2023, using key terms (and synonyms searched for by the MeSH database) that were combined using the operators "AND", "OR", "NOT": (``men'' OR ``man'' OR ``women'' OR ``woman'') AND (``bone mineral density'' OR ``BMD'' OR ``bone mineral content'' OR ``BMC'' OR ``peak bone mass'' OR ``mechanical loading'' OR ``osteoporosis'' OR ``bone geometry'' OR ``bone resistance'') AND (``team sport'' OR ``sport'' OR rugby OR basketball OR volleyball OR handball OR soccer OR football OR ``players'').

To our knowledge, no reviews have been performed to assess and compare all these modalities together versus control groups (conventional fluoroscopy) through high Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) and Prospective Control Studies (PCSs). The aim of this study was to assess and compare 3D-imaging technologies from pre-operative planning to per-operative navigation and robotic in the management of pelvic ring fractures through high level studies.
