Outcomes of high-risk breast lesions diagnosed using image-guided core needle biopsy: results from a multicenter retrospective study.

Purpose: The clinical management of high-risk lesions using image-guided biopsy is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the rates at which such lesions were upgraded to malignancy and identify possible predictive factors for upgrading high-risk lesions.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter analysis included 1.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulator as a Protective Treatment against Intensive Care Unit Muscle Wasting in Sepsis/Septic Shock Patients.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application in preventing muscle wasting in intensive care unit (ICU) patients diagnosed with sepsis/septic shock.

Study Design: A single-centre, unblinded, parallel-group, prospective, randomised clinical study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Medicine Hospital, Level 3 ICU, between October 28th 2018, and October 1st, 2020.

Effect of Chronic Valproic Acid Use on Anterior Cerebral Blood Flow of Children with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy.

Objective: Cerebral blood flow has been blamed as a factor in the negative effect of antiepileptic drugs on neurocognition. This study aimed to investigate whether valproic acid (VPA), used for the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), causes a change in cerebral blood flow in children.

Methods: Included in this study were 33 children who were receiving VPA for IGE and 34 age-matched controls.

Telehealth during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: Rapid expansion of telehealth outpatient use during a pandemic is possible if the programme is previously established.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the health-care system both in Australia and internationally, and has rapidly transformed the delivery of health care in hospitals and the community. Implementation of social isolation and distancing measures to stop the spread of the disease and to reduce potential harm to patients has necessitated the use of alternate models of health-care delivery. Changes that would normally take months or years have occurred within days to weeks.

Shear wave versus strain elastography in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Background/aim: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performances of shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography (SE) in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Materials And Methods: The current study included 87 breast lesions in 84 patients. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) categories were determined with ultrasound features.
