Article Synopsis
- A risk score was developed from a study to predict spontaneous rupture in liver cancer patients, which is a serious complication.
- The score is based on clinical factors like α-FP levels, liver tumor size, protrusion from the liver surface, and presence of ascites, with a 10-point system that showed high accuracy in predicting ruptures.
- Validation of the score demonstrated varying rupture rates based on risk scores, indicating its potential to help prioritize treatment for patients at higher risk.
Article Synopsis
- The study involved three patients diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome (NCS), who experienced symptoms like proteinuria and significant varicocele.
- Diagnostic imaging techniques, such as color Doppler ultrasound and CT scans, revealed anatomical issues, including constricted aortas and thinned renal veins.
- After undergoing specific surgical procedures, the patients showed improvements in sperm quality and resolution of proteinuria, indicating that surgical intervention can effectively treat NCS.
