World Federation for Interventional Stroke Treatment (WIST) Multispecialty Training Guidelines for Endovascular Stroke Intervention.

Introduction: Today, endovascular treatment (EVT) is the therapy of choice for strokes due to acute large vessel occlusion, irrespective of prior thrombolysis. This necessitates fast, coordinated multi-specialty collaboration. Currently, in most countries, the number of physicians and centres with expertise in EVT is limited.

Interdisciplinary management of acute ischaemic stroke - current evidence on training requirements for endovascular stroke treatment. Position Paper from the ESC Council on Stroke and the European Association for Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions with the support of the European Board of Neurointervention: A step forward.

Stroke, a vascular disease of the brain, is the #1 cause of disability and a major cause of death worldwide. Stroke has a major negative impact on the life of stroke-affected individuals, their families and the society. A significant proportion of stroke victims indicate that would have preferred death over their after-stroke quality of life.

Complex Renal Cysts (Bosniak ≥ IIF): Outcomes in a Population-Based Cohort Study.

There is emerging evidence to suggest that con-current medical conditions influence the outcome of cancers, irrespective of therapy offered. The prevalence and impact of co-morbidities on the survival outcome of complex renal cystic masses in not known. The objective was to study complex renal cysts (Bosniak ≥IIF ) and assess the overall and renal cancer-specific survival in a population-based database including impact of con-current morbidities.

Complex renal cysts (Bosniak ≥IIF): interobserver agreement, progression and malignancy rates.

Objective: The objective was to assess the interobserver agreement rate, progression rates and malignancy rates in the assessment of complex renal cysts (≥ Bosniak IIF) using a population-based database.

Methods: A regional database identified 452 complex renal cysts in 415 patients between 2009 and 2019. Each patient was tracked and followed up using a unique identifier and deterministic linkage methodology.

Developing patient-centred MRI safety culture: a quality improvement report.

Objective: Despite having a detailed MRI-safety questionnaire check at the point of referral, we have encountered a significant number of near-misses with patients being identified with MRI-Unsafe devices at the time of appointments, making this an important safety hazard.

Methods And Materials: A two-part survey was performed to assess referrer compliance of asking MRI-questionnaires. 120 outpatients across 3 MRI sites were interviewed at the time of appointment to confirm whether their referrers completed the MRI questionnaires with them at the time of referral.

Outcomes of synchronous and metachronous bilateral small renal masses (< 4 cm): a population-based cohort study.

Objectives: To report longitudinal outcomes of a population-based cohort of patients diagnosed with bilateral small renal masses from a period of over 11 years.

Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with bilateral small renal masses (synchronous or metachronous) of a defined geographical area were recorded in a large database (TUCAN database) between January 2005 and December 2016. Patients had a unique identifier number and followed during this period using an agreed upon protocol.

Progression, interobserver agreement, and malignancy rate in complex renal cysts ( ≥ Bosniak category IIF).

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess interobserver agreement, clinicopathologic correlation, and radiologic follow-up progression of complex cystic renal masses.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 143 patients with 154 complex cystic renal masses were retrieved. Primary outcomes were interobserver agreement between the radiologists, and malignancy rates following surgical extirpation with or without follow-up in Bosniak IIF, III, and IV categories.
