Stockholm score of lesion detection on computed tomography following mild traumatic brain injury (SELECT-TBI): study protocol for a multicentre, retrospective, observational cohort study.

Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. A portion of patients with mTBI will develop an intracranial lesion that might require medical or surgical intervention. In these patients, swift diagnosis and management is paramount.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for removal of large colorectal neoplasias in an outpatient setting: a single-center series of 660 procedures in Sweden.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technique developed in Japan for the removal of large lesions in the GI tract. Because of the complexity of the technique, implementation in Western health care has been slow. An ESD procedure is usually followed by hospital admission.

High density of S100A9 positive inflammatory cells in prostate cancer stroma is associated with poor outcome.

Purpose: To elucidate if the density of inflammatory cells expressing S100A9 in malignant and surrounding non-malignant prostate tissues is a prognostic marker for outcome in prostate cancer patients.

Experimental Design: Tissue was obtained from 358 men diagnosed with prostate cancer at transurethral resection of the prostate due to obstructive voiding problems, of which 260 were then followed with watchful waiting. Tissue microarrays of both malignant and non-malignant tissues were stained with an antibody against S100A9.
