The risk of malignancy in nonvisualized ovaries on pelvic ultrasound is presumed to be close to zero per imaging correlation; the goal of this manuscript is to define the risk of malignancy in nonvisualized ovaries on pelvic ultrasound as defined by surgical pathology. Records for patients with pelvic ultrasound and surgical pathology containing the word "ovary" or "ovaries" performed at our institution between 10/1/2015 and 9/30/2021 were reviewed. Data for ovarian visualization were extracted from the radiology report and correlated with surgical pathology results within each ovary.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical softening and dilation are essential for a successful delivery, and early changes in these processes can lead to preterm birth, but traditional prediction methods are lacking.
  • The study introduces magnetic resonance diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), a new non-invasive imaging technique that can examine the cervix's cellular structure, collagen, and muscle fibers.
  • Validation shows that DBSI effectively distinguishes between term and preterm pregnancies, revealing significant differences that could enhance the understanding of cervical changes and improve care for at-risk pregnancies.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. The need for increased patient survival has not been met for PDAC. The addition of mannose to conventional chemotherapy leads to accumulation of mannose metabolite in cancer cells and increases subsequent cell death.
