Article Synopsis
- Ex vivo fusion confocal microscopy (EVFCM) is a rapid method for examining breast tissue that could minimize the need for further surgeries by improving the accuracy of cancer detection compared to traditional methods.
- In a study with 36 tissue samples, EVFCM demonstrated high accuracy in detecting neoplastic cases and showed significant agreement with routine histopathology results, especially when evaluated by an experienced Mohs surgeon.
- The findings suggest that using EVFCM could enhance surgical outcomes in breast-conserving surgery by reducing re-excision rates, lowering healthcare costs, and improving both cosmetic and oncological results.
Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is one of the most serious chronic diseases affecting the global population. Clinical team members involved in the care of individuals with IBD should have sufficient knowledge about IBD.
Aims: The study aim was to assess IBD knowledge among four health care professional groups in New Zealand: nurses, medical students, dietitians, and pharmacists.
