Transarterial doxorubicin-eluting beads embolization for the treatment of desmoid fibromatosis in the pubic region.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DFs) is rare, low-grade neoplasm. Although it poses no risk of metastasis, DFs exhibits a range of clinical manifestations characterized by local infiltrative growth tendencies and a propensity for recurrence. Despite its nonmalignant nature, DFs can be highly debilitating and occasionally life-threatening, causing severe pain and functional limitations.

Harnessing the potential of large language models in medical education: promise and pitfalls.

Objectives: To provide balanced consideration of the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) throughout the medical school continuum.

Process: Narrative review of published literature contextualized by current reports of LLM application in medical education.

Conclusions: LLMs like OpenAI's ChatGPT can potentially revolutionize traditional teaching methodologies.

A case of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the liver.

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. The tumor originates from Cajal cells, which generated peristaltic motion. Primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the liver is rare and should be considered in imaging diagnosis.

Endovascular management of massive hemoptysis due to pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in a COVID-19 patient in Vietnam: A case report.

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm with massive hemoptysis is extremely rare in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced pneumonia, especially in its late stage. We report a case who presented with massive hemoptysis and pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm without pulmonary thromboembolism in their ninth week of COVID-19 infection, which was treated by endovascular embolization. The endovascular intervention was technically and clinically successful, with complete hemoptysis cessation after the procedure.

Endovascular management of giant post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm in cavernous sinus: A case report.

A 20-year-old male was admitted with the history of a traumatic head injury after traffic accident. The physical examination revealed blurred vision, swelling of the right face, and minor epistaxis. CT and MRI findings revealed a giant pseudoaneurysm of cavernous carotid artery.

Large intra-abdominal venous malformations in associated with inferior vena cava aneurysm.

Intra-abdominal venous malformations and inferior vena cava aneurysms are rare and difficult to diagnose because of their nonspecific clinical symptoms. These vascular anomalies are important entities due to the risk of thrombosis or rupture. According to the classification of International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies, venous malformations are classified as low-flow vascular anomalies, showing absence of arterial and early venous enhancement and slow gradual filling with contrast on delayed venous imaging.

Endovascular management of rectus abdominis hematoma: A report of two cases.

Nontraumatic spontaneous hematoma of the rectus abdominis is frequently related to anticoagulation therapy. In most cases, this condition is spontaneously self-limited or can be controlled with conservative therapy. Nevertheless, in some patients, despite early and adequate medical therapy, continuous development of the condition requires rapid and complete hemostasis.

Role of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in the Identification of Monosodium Urate Deposition in Gout Patients: A Comprehensive Analysis of 828 Joints According to Structural Joint Damage.

Background Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has become a promising, non-invasive procedure for the visualization, characterization, and quantification of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, which aids clinicians in the diagnosis of gout. In this study, we aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy of DECT in the evaluation of gout. Methodology This cross-sectional retrospective study included patients who were clinically diagnosed with gout and underwent a DECT scan.

Initial Results of Management for Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Large Vessel Occlusion by a Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique at a Vietnamese Hospital.

Background: The development of novel revascularization devices has improved procedural and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) has been introduced as a rapid simple method for achieving good recanalization and clinical outcomes using large bore aspiration catheters in the treatment of AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of ADAPT in the treatment of AIS due to LVO in the Vietnamese patient population.
