The value of whole tumor apparent diffusion coefficient histogram parameters in predicting meningiomas progesterone receptor expression.

This letter provides a critical assessment of a previous study on the utility of whole tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram characteristics in predicting meningioma progesterone receptor expression. While acknowledging the benefits of employing classical diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for non-invasive tumor evaluation, it also emphasizes significant drawbacks. Advanced imaging techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) were not used in the study, which could have provided a more comprehensive understanding of tumor microstructure and heterogeneity.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Sacubitril/Valsartan for Reducing the Use of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) and the Risk of Death in ICD-Eligible Heart Failure Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

This critical review of Kaddoura et al.'s article on sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure patients underscores the importance of considering potential adverse effects, including renal failure, hyperkalemia, angioedema, and increased reports of sudden cardiac death. It highlights the need for rigorous monitoring and precise treatment regimens, especially in diabetic heart failure patients.
