Background: The information on the clinicopathologic/outcome differences between ampullary adenocarcinoma (AC) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC) has been conflicting to the extent that it still is questioned whether ACs need to be recognized separately from PCs.
Methods: The characteristics of 413 ACs were compared with those of 547 PCs.
Results: The ACs had a better prognosis than the PCs (5-year survival, 57 % vs 23 %; p < 0.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of colonoscopy (CS) and CT colonography (CTC) in the measurement of colorectal polyps using pathological size as a reference.
Materials And Methods: The analysis included 61 colorectal polyps in 28 patients who underwent preoperative CTC at our institution. All polyps were endoscopically resected.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze how different scapular muscle exercises affect scapular movement and muscle activity in healthy men.
- - Researchers measured scapular motion using a motion capture system and muscle activity with surface electromyography, comparing results across five exercises.
- - Findings suggest that the horizontal adducted elevation exercise is more effective for enhancing scapular upward rotation and serratus anterior muscle activity than the push-up plus exercise.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined foot function issues in 138 male baseball players, focusing on those with shoulder/elbow pain compared to those without.
- Results showed that 27% of players had a history of shoulder/elbow pain, while 7% reported pain during the examination, indicating a significant relationship between injuries and foot function problems.
- Specifically, impaired foot function was more prevalent on the non-throwing side (60%) and the throwing side (60%) of injured players compared to non-injured ones, highlighting the impact of throwing shoulder/elbow disabilities on foot health.
