Can the use of whole-body CT be reduced in cases of kinetic-based polytrauma patients without a clinical severity criterion? A bi-center retrospective study.

Objective: To identify clinical and biological criteria predictive of significant traumatic injury in only kinetic-based polytrauma patients without clinical severity criteria. To propose a decisional algorithm to assist the emergency doctor in deciding whether or not to perform a WBCT in the above population.

Methods: Retrospective bi-center study.

Cardiac MRI Features and Prognostic Value in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-induced Myocarditis.

Background Cardiac MRI features are not well-defined in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced myocarditis (ICI-M), a severe complication of ICI therapy in patients with cancer. Purpose To analyze the cardiac MRI features of ICI-M and to explore their prognostic value in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Materials and Methods In this retrospective study from May 2017 to January 2020, cardiac MRI findings (including late gadolinium enhancement [LGE], T1 and T2 mapping, and extracellular volume fraction [ECV] scores) of patients with ICI-M were compared with those of patients with cancer scheduled to receive ICI therapy (pre-ICI group) and patients with viral myocarditis.

Prognostic impact of splenic vessel involvement and tumor size in distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma: a retrospective multicentric cohort study.

Purpose: Splenic vessel involvement occurs frequently in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of the body and the tail (B/T) but the impact on survival is unknown. We assessed the influence of radiological and pathologic involvement of splenic artery (p-SA +) and vein (p-SV +) on patient outcomes after distal pancreatectomy (DP) for PDAC.

Methods: From 2013 to 2019, all DP for PDAC in five centers were included.
