Article Synopsis
- The study compared two shortened MRI protocols for evaluating how rectal cancer patients respond to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
- 62 patients' data were analyzed, focusing on standard MRI methods (T2-WI, T1-WI, DWI) versus two abbreviated protocols (AB1 and AB2).
- Results showed that both abbreviated protocols effectively measured tumor response with significant reductions in lesion size and lymph node involvement, indicating their reliability for assessing treatment outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Cryotherapy has been shown to effectively relieve pain and reduce inflammation in ingrown toenails, but its specific impact on juvenile cases was previously under-researched.
- In a study involving adolescents aged 12 to 16 with unilateral ingrown toenails, liquid nitrogen was applied to the nail fold, resulting in a high efficacy rate of 91.7% as reported by physicians.
- While 54.5% of patients maintained improvement after 6 months, there was a notable difference in the success rate based on the size of granulation tissue, and 83.3% of patients experienced satisfactory symptom relief even without complete regression of the tissue.
Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the correlation between quantitative parameters obtained by dual energy spectral computed tomography (DESCT) and various histopathological factors and biomarkers associated with the prognosis of breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: Quantitative parameters such as iodine content (IC), normalized IC (nIC), iodine enhancement (IE) and normalized IE (nIE) were measured on virtual monochromatic images and iodine mapping images obtained from DESCT in 116 female breast cancer patients. The relationship between these parameters and prognostic biomarkers such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and Ki67 levels, as well as the correlation with histological grade (HG), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and metastatic axillary lymphadenopathy (LAP) were evaluated.
Oral Mucosal Manifestations Associated with PCR Positivity in Patients with COVID-19.

January 2024
Introduction: To date various oral manifestations in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported.
Objectives: In the present study, we investigated the relationship between Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) positivity and oral signs in patients with suspected COVID-19.
Methods: A total of 383 patients who presented to the emergency department for the first time with any symptoms associated with COVID-19 were included in the study.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols using 1.5 T MRI in the preoperative staging of newly diagnosed breast cancers.
Methods: Eighty patients who underwent 1.
