Detection of urinary tract stones on submillisievert abdominopelvic CT imaging with deep-learning image reconstruction algorithm (DLIR).

Purpose: Urolithiasis is a chronic condition that leads to repeated CT scans throughout the patient's life. The goal was to assess the diagnostic performance and image quality of submillisievert abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) using deep learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) in urolithiasis.

Methods: 57 patients with suspected urolithiasis underwent both non-contrast low-dose (LD) and ULD abdominopelvic CT.

Induction cisplatin-irinotecan followed by concurrent cisplatin-irinotecan and radiotherapy without surgery in oesophageal cancer: multicenter phase II FFCD trial.

A recent phase I study showed that weekly cisplatin, irinotecan and concurrent radiotherapy can be administered with moderate toxicity in patients with oesophageal cancer. Patients with no prior treatment and oesophageal cancer stage I to III, performance status <3, caloric intake >1,500 kcal day(-1) were included. Chemotherapy, with cisplatin 30 mg m(-2) and irinotecan 60 mg m(-2), was administered at days 1, 8, 22, 29, and concurrently with radiotherapy at days 43, 50, 64 and 71.

Prognostic factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Attempts for the selection of patients with prolonged survival.

A prognostic study based on 127 untreated patients with hepatocellular carcinoma was undertaken to evaluate their survival time and to find clinical and biologic criteria which allow the selection of patients with a survival time longer than 60 days who could enter a therapeutic trial. Twenty-eight clinical and biologic variables were assessed using univariate and multivariate semiparametric regression (Cox's) models. Ten variables were isolated by univariate analysis.

[Relation between serum markers of hepatitis B virus and alpha fetoprotein in hepatocellular carcinoma in France].

Prevalences of serum markers of hepatitis B virus and alphafetoprotein levels were investigated in 96 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Serum HBs Ag was present in 17 patients (17.5 p.

[Hepatocellular carcinoma in France. Clinical, biological and virological aspects in 197 patients].

The authors report the clinical and biological features in 197 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma seen in two French hospitals. Mean age was 63 +/- 12 years. Eighty-nine per cent were men.
