Image-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy for Pancreatic Lesions: 10-Year Experience in a Tertiary Cancer Center.

Introduction: Image-guided biopsy is an important tool in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and complications associated with this procedure.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients referred to interventional radiology for pancreatic biopsy at our institution from July 2004-July 2015.

Measurement of blood E2F3 mRNA in prostate cancer by quantitative RT-PCR: a preliminary study.

The use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurements necessitates biopsies for accurate prostate cancer (CaP) diagnosis. Overall efficiency of accurate diagnosis, when PSA levels are used alone, is less than 60%. E2F3 was evaluated as an alternative biomarker using patient blood samples.

An unusual case of stroke in a young patient.

The patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been increasingly implicated in the aetiology of stroke, particularly in young patients with no other identifiable cause (cryptogenic stroke). A case of Parinaud's syndrome secondary to thromboembolism from a PFO is reported here.
