Synthesized mammography (SM) refers to two-dimensional (2D) images derived from the digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) data. It can reduce the radiation dose and scan duration when compared with conventional full-field digital mammography (FFDM) plus tomosynthesis. To compare the diagnostic performance of 2D FFDM with synthetic mammograms obtained from DBT in a diagnostic population.

Article Synopsis
- Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are common ovarian tumors associated with a good prognosis but a tendency for late recurrences, making treatment difficult.
- A study evaluated the effects of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) on eight patients with recurrent adult GCTs, showing a median overall survival of 11.5 months post-treatment.
- The procedure demonstrated acceptable levels of postoperative complications, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment option for recurrent GCTs.
Article Synopsis
- Opioid-free anesthesia may reduce adverse effects like addiction and nausea common with opioids, and could improve outcomes for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
- In a study with 100 patients, two groups were formed: one receiving opioid-based anesthesia and the other receiving none, with outcomes measured like pain scores and morphine use post-surgery.
- Results showed no significant difference in morphine consumption or patient satisfaction between the two groups, but the opioid-free group had a notable difference in an immune marker, suggesting that this method is safe and might help patients sensitive to opioids.
