Resuscitation of critically ill trauma patients can be precarious, and errors can cause acute kidney injuries. If renal failure develops, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) may be necessary, but adds expense. Hemodynamic transesophageal echocardiography (hTEE) provides objective data to guide resuscitation.

The development of three-dimensional mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has already demonstrated greater sensitivity in the diagnosis of breast pathology and effectiveness in identifying early breast cancers. In addition to being a more sensitive screening tool, other studies indicate DBT has a lower call-back rate when compared with traditional DM.

- Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using MammoSite® was FDA-approved in 2002, and our institution began offering it in 2005, focusing on the analysis of patient outcomes over 12 years.
- A review of 150 patients treated between 2006 and 2017 showed a 99% treatment completion rate, with a median follow-up of 8.9 years; local recurrence was low (2.7%), and new primary breast tumors occurred in 1.3%.
- Complications were mostly mild, including skin erythema, fibrosis, and local pain, indicating that APBI is effective and has manageable side effects in select breast cancer patients.
