Does gamma-glutamyltransferase correlate with liver tumor burden in neuroendocrine tumors?

Purpose: In patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and liver metastases, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is commonly assumed as an indicator for progressive disease. To date, however, empirical data are lacking. This study aimed to investigate associations between GGT and liver tumor burden.

Magnetic resonance imaging of midtarsal sprain: Prevalence and impact on the time of return to play in professional soccer players.

Background: Ankle sprain is a common injury in professional soccer, but to date midtarsal sprain has not been investigated in this context. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of midtarsal sprain by MRI and to assess its impact on the time of return to play in professional soccer players.

Methods: We included 52 professional soccer players who underwent 59 MRI examinations after acute ankle trauma between January 2012 and September 2019.

[Diagnostic imaging and classification of proximal femoral and tibia fractures in adults].

Background: A confident diagnosis and classification of proximal femoral and tibia fractures are crucial to determine further therapeutic procedures.

Materials And Methods: In this article the current standards regarding diagnostic imaging of proximal femoral and tibia fractures are presented and the different classification systems are discussed.

Conclusions: Plain radiography in two planes remains the initial investigation of choice for suspected osseous injury.
