Objectives: To identify biopsy rates and indications for BI-RADS 3 lesions in a large cohort of patients and compare with follow-up compliance and malignancy outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all BI-RADS category-3 lesions seen on mammography and/or ultrasound between 2013 and 2015. Patient age, lesion size, follow-up rates at 6-, 12-, and 24-months were collected.
Collaborative learning is a teaching method that brings together students to discuss a topic important for a given course or curriculum and solve a related problem or create a product. By doing this, learners create knowledge together and gain 21 -century skills such as communication, critical thinking, decision making, leadership and conflict management. Universities had to close their campuses and turn their education fully online in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which created a forced step in the evolution of the digitalisation of collaborative teaching.

This study therefore aimed to identify and quantify the factors associated with cholera-related deaths in Nigeria.
Methods: using a cross-sectional design, we analysed surveillance data from all the States that reported cholera cases during the 2018 outbreak, and defined cholera-related death as death of an individual classified as having cholera according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control case definition.
Objective: Investigate imaging follow-up patterns and assessment of malignancy rate of BI-RADS 3 lesions in women younger than 30 years.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive studies between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2015 with BI-RADS 3 assessment in women <30 years. Lesion size, follow-up rate, and biopsy rate were recorded.
