Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy for extra-ocular orbital soft tissue tumours: a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy.

Objective: To assess the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided coaxial core-needle biopsy (CNB) for histomolecular diagnosis of extra-ocular orbital soft tissue tumours as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a single Comprehensive Cancer Center and included all consecutive patients referred to our center between 2015 and 2023 for the diagnosis and treatment of orbital soft tissue tumours. All patients underwent US-guided transconjunctival coaxial CNB using a semiautomatic 18-gauge biopsy gun.

[Hereditary and familial forms of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: Genetic determinism, patients eligible for systematic screening, screening methods and results].

Systematic screening for pancreatic cancer in high risk individuals is justified by the poor prognosis of the majority of cases diagnosed at a symptomatic stage that are mostly advanced and unresectable Individual risk assessment is based on both genetic data and family history. The screening of a panel of susceptibiility genes should be offered to any affected individual when a genetic predisposition is suspected. An international consortium has proposed a definition of the at risk population, candidate for screening, and there is a consensus on the target lesions of this screening: early adenocarcinoma and benign lesions with a high potential for malignant transformation: Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neopasm (IPMN) and Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN) with high-grade dysplasia.

Drivers that decrease hospital-delivered care in children with medical complexity: Parental perspectives.

Background And Objective: Children with medical complexity (CMC) have chronic and severe conditions leading to medical fragility. CMC represent less than 1% of children but account for one-third of paediatric healthcare expenditures. Enrollment to a complex care program (CCP) decreases health care resource utilization while improving parental satisfaction.

Antiplatelets and antithrombotics in neurointerventional procedures: Guideline update.

Background: Antiplatelet and antithrombotic medication management before, during, and after neurointerventional procedures has significant practice variation. This document updates and builds upon the 2014 Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Guideline 'Platelet function inhibitor and platelet function testing in neurointerventional procedures', providing updates based on the treatment of specific pathologies and for patients with specific comorbidities.

Methods: We performed a structured literature review of studies that have become available since the 2014 SNIS Guideline.

Validation and real-world clinical application of an artificial intelligence algorithm for breast cancer detection in biopsies.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease worldwide, with over 2.26 million new cases in 2020. Its diagnosis is determined by a histological review of breast biopsy specimens, which can be labor-intensive, subjective, and error-prone.
