Background: Intranodal hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of the lymph nodes, often misdiagnosed as malignant lymphadenopathies due to their clinical and radiological features. This case report and systematic review aim to elucidate the epidemiology, clinical profile, and therapeutic interventions for intranodal hemangioma, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and management.
Methods: A systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- The article discusses techniques for successful percutaneous biopsies of the breast and axillary lymph nodes using imaging methods like ultrasound, stereotactic/tomosynthesis, and MRI.
- It includes advice on draining fluid collections in the breast and compares the effectiveness of the different imaging techniques.
- Practical recommendations are offered for improving biopsy outcomes and managing potential complications, making the information valuable for radiologists in breast care.
Purpose: To characterize the effect of embolic particle size on outcomes of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for mixed adenomyosis/fibroids.
Materials And Methods: A single-center retrospective database was compiled of all patients with mixed adenomyosis/fibroids who underwent UAE with particles (Embosphere, Merit, USA; Embozene, Varian, UK) from September 2015 to May 2022 (n=76, mean age: 46.7 ± 5.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how socioeconomic status (SES) and healthcare access affect the diagnosis and outcomes of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Canada, examining data from 2001 to 2019 for children under 15 years old.
- - Researchers analyzed the connections between neighborhood income levels and distance to treatment centers in relation to high-risk features at diagnosis, treatment timeliness, and survival rates using multivariable analyses and Cox proportional hazards models.
- - Results show no significant link between income or distance from treatment centers and most outcomes; however, children in higher income brackets experienced better event-free survival, while distance to treatment was associated with greater incidence of central nervous system disease at diagnosis and differences in treatment timelines.
Megalin is an endocytic receptor in the proximal tubules that reabsorbs filtered proteins in the kidneys. Recycling of megalin after endocytosis and its expression on the apical plasma membrane of the proximal tubule are critical for its function. The expression of megalin in the kidney undergoes dynamic changes under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.
