Objective: To describe clinical and early shoulder-girdle MR imaging findings in severe COVID-19-related intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) after ICU discharge.
Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study of all consecutive patients with COVID-19-related ICU-AW from November 2020 to June 2021. All patients underwent similar clinical evaluations and shoulder-girdle MRI within the first month and then 3 months (± 1 month) after ICU discharge.
Article Synopsis
- Synovial sarcomas are rare cancers mostly found in young adults, and this study looked at how imaging tests could help predict how long patients might live.
- Researchers studied 98 patients who had these tumors and found that factors like tumor size and presence of calcifications could help doctors understand patient outcomes better.
- The study concluded that certain imaging features, especially calcifications seen in CT scans, can give important clues about a patient's long-term health beyond just age and tumor grade.
Objective: To evaluate the proportion of extraskeletal, periosteal, and intramedullary Ewing sarcomas among musculoskeletal Ewing sarcomas.
Material And Method: Our single-center retrospective study included patients with musculoskeletal Ewing sarcoma diagnosed between 2005 and 2019 in our pathology center (cases from our adult bone tumor referral center and adult and pediatric cases referred for review). Recurrences, metastases, and visceral Ewing sarcomas were excluded.
Background: The aim of the study is to evaluate functional and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing abdominal wall soft tissue tumors (AWSTT) surgery.
Methods: All consecutive patients that underwent surgery for malignant and intermediate AWSTT from 1999 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Ninety-two patients were identified, 20 (22%) operated on for a desmoid tumor and 72 (78%) for a soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
Article Synopsis
- Many countries face challenges in widespread COVID-19 testing due to limited RT-PCR kits and CT-scans, prompting the need for a pre-test probability score for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- The study analyzed data from 605 patients across four university hospitals, focusing on demographic details, symptoms, and blood test results to identify key factors indicating infection risk.
- The developed PARIS score demonstrated high accuracy in predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a 93% positive predictive value and a 98% negative predictive value, making it a useful tool for clinicians in prioritizing tests and managing patient care.
Backgrounds: Multivisceral resection is the standard treatment for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) during which pancreas resection may be necessary.
Methods: All consecutive patients operated for RPS with pancreatectomy in 2 expert centers between 1993 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Fifty patients (median age: 57 years, IQR: [46-65]) with a primary (n = 33) or recurrent (n = 17) RPS underwent surgery requiring pancreas resection (distal pancreatectomy (DP) (n = 43), pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (n = 5), central pancreatectomy (n = 1), and atypical resection (n = 1)).
Introduction: Covid-19 pneumonia CT extent correlates well with outcome including mortality. However, CT is not widely available in many countries. This study aimed to explore the relationship between Covid-19 pneumonia CT extent and blood tests variations.

We also aimed to examine the association between MRI findings and clinical features in patients with AC.
Methods: MRI of 42 patients with a clinical diagnosis of AC confirmed by arthrography and that of 42 patients in a control group were retrospectively studied by 2 blinded readers.
Objectives: To evaluate post-ablation MRI for the detection of incompletely treated spinal osseous metastases (SOM) after cryoablation and to propose a post-ablation imaging classification.
Methods: After IRB consent, all patients treated with cryoablation of SOM between 2011 and 2017 having at least 1-year minimum follow-up and a spine MRI within 4 months after cryoablation were retrospectively included. A classification of MRI images into four types was set up.
