Objective: Despite the lack of clear guidelines, neuroimaging (computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) is frequently performed in subjects presenting with first-episode psychosis (FEP). The objective of this study was to determine if the use of neuroimaging adds diagnostic yield in adolescents and young adults presenting with FEP.
Methods: The sample consisted of 443 subjects aged 15-24 with FEP (DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5) and no focal neurologic findings.
Purpose: To assess the safety and effectiveness of combined radiofrequency (RF) ablation and cementoplasty in the treatment of painful neoplastic lesions of bone.
Materials And Methods: The authors performed a retrospective analysis of 25 combined treatments comprising RF ablation followed by injection of polymethylmethacrylate cement performed in 19 patients during a 22-month period. Patients ranged in age from 42 to 82 years (mean, 58.
