Survival and prognostic factors of salivary gland malignant mixed tumor-not otherwise specified: A population-based analysis.

Objective: Malignant mixed tumors of the salivary gland are a group of neoplasms comprised of carcinoma-ex-pleomorphic adenoma, carcinosarcoma, and metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma. An alternative classification, malignant mixed tumor-not otherwise (MMT-NOS), is a diagnosis of exclusion for neoplasms that do not fit the previous histologically profiled subtypes. The objective was to provide a comprehensive assessment of MMT-NOS and determine prognostic factors.

Surgical management in acute diverticulitis and its association with multi-detector CT, modified Hinchey classification, and clinical parameters.

Purpose: To assess whether CT findings, clinical parameters, and modified Hinchey classification are predictive of management outcomes of patients with acute diverticulitis.

Materials And Methods: Data were accrued between January 2014 and December 2015. A total of 301 adult subjects were identified from radiology reports, of which six who did not met the inclusion criteria were excluded, thus yielding 295 subjects.
