Assessment of Feasibility and Patency of below the Knee Atherectomy Using the 1.5 mm Phoenix Catheter-A Retrospective Study.

: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) contains a significant proportion of patients whose main pathology is located in the infragenicular arteries. The treatment of these patients requires a deliberate consideration due to the threat of possible complications of an intervention. In this retrospective study, the feasibility of a below-the-knee atherectomy (BTKA) via a 1.

A genome-wide association study reveals a QTL influencing caudal supernumerary teats in Holstein cattle.

Supernumerary teats represent a common abnormality of the bovine udder. A genome-wide association study was performed based on the proportion of the occurrence of supernumerary teats in the daughters of 1097 Holstein bulls. The heritability of caudal supernumerary teats without mammary gland in this study was 0.

MRI of the prostate: interobserver agreement compared with histopathologic outcome after radical prostatectomy.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate interobserver agreement of prostatic MRI in assessing the performance of staging prostate carcinoma in comparison with histopathologic step section prostate specimens.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 46 patients who underwent prostatic MRI examination at 1.5 T MRI and "subsequently" radical prostatectomy.
