Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor2+ subtype breast cancer has a high degree of malignancy and a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model for the human epidermal growth factor receptor2+ subtype (non-luminal) of breast cancer based on the clinical and ultrasound features related with estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor2.
Methods: We collected clinical data and reviewed preoperative ultrasound images of enrolled breast cancers from September 2017 to August 2020.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) combined with conventional ultrasonography (US) for differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules of different sizes.
Methods: A total of 445 thyroid nodules from 445 patients were divided into 3 groups based on diameter (group 1, ≤ 10 mm; group 2, 10-20 mm; and group 3, > 20 mm). The mean elasticity index of the whole lesion was automatically calculated, and the threshold for differentiation between benign and malignant nodules was constructed by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

Objective: To study the signs of subclavian artery angiography for hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis and to evaluate its clinical use in artery embolization.
Methods: Thirty-nine patients with hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis underwent subclavian artery angiography after artery embolization performed in the hemorrhagic branches of descending aorta. Of the 39 cases, 25 had severe pulmonary fibrosis or were complicated with cavity formation, aspergilloma, pleural thickening and postoperative thorax.
