Mistakes, Misrepresentation, and Misunderstanding on Applications to a Canadian Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program.

Determine the educational background, research publications/presentations experience, and rates of research publication and presentation inaccuracies in applications to a Canadian diagnostic imaging residency program. The education and publication/presentation sections of the Canadian Resident Matching Service form for all applicants to the University of Saskatchewan diagnostic imaging residency program from 2019-20 and 2020-21 were reviewed. Number of advanced degrees (Master's/PhDs), publications, and presentations were recorded.

Evaluation of the Modified Barium Swallow Study Conducted With and Without Radiologist Supervision: A Pre- and Post-Observational Study.

Purpose: Assess quality metrics of modified barium swallow studies (MBSS) with and without a radiologist present during the procedure.

Methods: Retrospective review of MBSS performed on adult inpatients at a tertiary care hospital 6-months pre- and post-institutional change from having to not having a radiologist present during the examination.

Factors Assessed Included: fluoroscopy time; study duration; number of cine loops; number of images; efficiency of collimation (using a 5-point scoring system); time to final report; radiologist-speech language pathologist report disagreement; and recalls for inadequate studies.

Calcified Sister Mary Joseph nodule as the presenting complaint of advanced low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

A healthy 38-year-old woman presented with a hard umbilical mass that has been growing for a few months in duration with no other significant symptoms and signs. Computed tomography images identified a lobulated densely calcified umbilical mass, left ovarian cysts, a subcentimeter calcified omental nodule, and nonspecific punctate pelvic calcifications. Histopathology of the mass revealed low-grade serous carcinoma with postsurgical diagnosis of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV ovarian cancer.

Experience with Minimally Invasive Ponto Surgery and Linear Incision Approach for Pediatric and Adult Bone Anchored Hearing Implants.

Purpose: To compare intra- and postoperative outcomes between the standard linear incision with tissue preservation and the Minimally Invasive Ponto Surgery (MIPS).

Study Design: A non-randomized retrospective cohort series.

Methods: Medical files were reviewed of adult and pediatric bone anchored hearing implant recipients.

A pediatric medulloblastoma presenting as isolated sensorineural hearing loss: Case report and review of the literature.

Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric malignant brain tumor and carries a relatively grim prognosis despite recent advances in multimodality therapy. Delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation may contribute to worst outcomes. Signs of increased intracranial pressure and ataxia are known presentations of posterior fossa tumors, but sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a seldom reported symptom.

cisPath: an R/Bioconductor package for cloud users for visualization and management of functional protein interaction networks.

Background: With the burgeoning development of cloud technology and services, there are an increasing number of users who prefer cloud to run their applications. All software and associated data are hosted on the cloud, allowing users to access them via a web browser from any computer, anywhere. This paper presents cisPath, an R/Bioconductor package deployed on cloud servers for client users to visualize, manage, and share functional protein interaction networks.
