Aim: To evaluate the relative and combined utility of Tc-tetrofosmin (Tc-TF) brain single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in grading brain gliomas.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six patients with clinically suspected brain tumours were assessed by Tc-TF SPECT and DSC-MRI. Brain tumour malignancy was confirmed in all patients at histopathology.
Objective: We evaluated the eventual benefits from sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in comparison with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) using a combined radioisotope/dye technique versus dye alone in breast cancer patients.
Methods: SLNB was performed in 501 breast cancer patients (250 patients with dye alone and 251 with combined technique). Patients were divided in three groups: (A) clinical stage T1,2N0 (SLNB followed by ALND only in cases with positive histology), (B) clinical stage T1,2N0 (SLNB followed by ALND), and (C): advanced clinical stage (SLNB immediately followed by ALND).
Background: Idiopathic photodermatoses are considered to be common disorders in the population of northern latitude countries, presumably because of the dominance of more "sun-sensitive" individuals with a light-skinned complexion. The incidence of these disorders in the Mediterranean or tropical countries is often under-appreciated because of the higher degree of perennial presence of sunlight and the prevalence of darker skin-type individuals who are seemingly more resistant to the development of sun sensitivity.
Methods: We performed a retrospective, chart-based review of all patients who were diagnosed with idiopathic photodermatoses at a photodermatology referral center in Athens, Greece, during a period of 10 years.
