A comparison of society guidelines in the management of gallbladder polyps.

Background: In 2021, European radiology and gastrointestinal societies updated their guidelines regarding the management of gallbladder polyps (GBP). In 2022, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) also released their guidelines. We compared the two sets to determine the differences in management and outcomes for GBPs.

The Utility of ACR TI-RADS in Predicting False-Negative Fine Needle Aspiration for Thyroid Cancer.

Background: Thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies are associated with a low false-negative rate. There is limited data regarding the predictive value of American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System for false-negative FNA.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study evaluated 119 patients who underwent thyroidectomy.

Utility of short-interval follow-up mammography after a benign-concordant stereotactic breast biopsy result.

Background: There is currently no clear consensus recommendation for the use of short-interval follow-up mammography after a benign-concordant breast biopsy (BCBB), and practice patterns vary widely. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether a short-interval follow-up mammogram provided clinical utility after stereotactic BCBB and to examine the costs associated with this surveillance strategy.

Methods: A retrospective review of women who underwent a stereotactic breast biopsy yielding benign-concordant results between January 2005 and October 2014 was performed to evaluate findings on subsequent imaging, to calculate compliance with recommended short-interval imaging, and to examine whether subsequent imaging revealed an abnormality at the site of the initial stereotactic BCBB.

Foregut duplication cyst with pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium: A case report and review of the literature.

Foregut duplication cysts are extremely rare congenital malformations. Herein we report a case of 73 year old male with a left upper quadrant abdominal lesion identified on CT scan.

Renal dialysis as a risk factor for appropriate therapies and mortality in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator recipients.

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, although the utility of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in these patients is unknown.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether end-stage renal disease is an independent risk factor for appropriate ICD therapy for ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) and to compare the long-term survival of ICD recipients with and without end-stage renal disease.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on ICD recipients at a single center.
