Objective: To determine the upgrade rate of exclusively MRI-detected benign papillomas in asymptomatic high-risk patients, patients with a history of cancer, or patients with known malignancy.
Methods: This IRB-approved retrospective study reviewed all breast MRI-guided biopsies yielding papilloma on pathology for all asymptomatic patients undergoing breast MRI for high-risk screening, newly diagnosed breast cancer, or a personal history of breast cancer. All cases were followed by excision or 2-year imaging follow-up.
Objective: Cognitive impairments in schizophrenia significantly affect functional outcomes and quality of life. This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as an intervention for cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia.
Methods: From May 20 to June 15, 2024, a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- IgE-mediated food allergies cause significant emotional and financial strain on affected individuals and their families, with the risk of severe allergic reactions.
- Traditionally, management involved avoiding allergens and treating reactions as they occur, but new treatments are emerging.
- Omalizumab has been approved for preventing serious allergic reactions in both adults and children over one year, and may work well with oral immunotherapy; other biologics and inhibitors are also showing promise in this area.
Background: Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) has emerged as a treatment modality that reduces bleeding risk and filter clotting. With initial experience of using RCA with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), we have formulated a working protocol based on published literature.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the protocol for routine use of RCA during CRRT requiring anticoagulation and evaluation of filter life.
