Observational Study of Self-Reported Offshore Sailing-Related Injuries in a Wide Range of Amateur and Professional Sailors.

Introduction: Offshore sailing yields injury risk. Unfortunately, many studies are restricted to a specific geographic location, regatta, or class of sailboat or to only professional sailors. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to gather a large database of sailing-related injuries with demographic, injury, and voyage characteristics.

The utility of F-FDG PET/CT in brain tumours diagnosis.

Background: The purpose of the study was to discuss whether 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) study protocol should include brain imaging.

Materials And Methods: Analysis of international societies recommendations compared with the original data obtained in over 1000 consecutive torso and brain F-FDG PET/CT studies collected in 2010.

Results: According to the international societies recommendations, the F-FDG should not be the radiotracer of choice considering the brain region PET/CT study.

Detection of clinically silent brain lesions in [18F]FDG PET/CT study in oncological patients: analysis of over 10,000 studies.

The study aimed to show that including the brain region into the standard 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) study protocol may result in detecting clinically silent brain tumours. We retrospectively analyzed the group of 10,378 from the total of 12,011 consecutive patients who underwent the torso and brain [18F]FDG PET/CT scanning, considering an ability of the method to evaluate undetected before brain tumours in patients diagnosed and treated in our institution. While collecting the database, we followed the inclusion criteria: at least 1-year of follow-up, a full medical history collected in our institution, histopathologic examination or other studies available to confirm the type of observed lesion, and the most importantly-no brain lesions reported in the patients' medical data.

Primary and Metastatic Brain Tumours Assessed with the Brain and Torso [F]FDG PET/CT Study Protocol-10 Years of Single-Institutional Experiences.

According to the international societies' recommendations, the 2-deoxy-2-[F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]FDG PET/CT) technique should not be used as the method of choice in brain tumour diagnosis. Therefore, the brain region can be omitted during standard [F]FDG PET/CT scanning. We performed comprehensive literature research and analysed results from 14,222 brain and torso [F]FDG PET/CT studies collected in 2010-2020.

Smoking is associated with prolonged time of the return to daily and sport activities and decreased knee function after meniscus repair with outside-in technique: Retrospective cohort study.

Background: Arthroscopic repair of post-traumatic meniscal lesion is one of the most common procedures in the orthopedics. Although algorithm of the treatment of meniscal lesion, this procedure is rarely discussed in combination with smoking as a risk factor for the meniscal healing.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the knee function, and the amount of time needed to return to daily and sport activities after the non-bucket-handle meniscal outside-in repair depending on Tobacco use.
