Correlation of Histopathological and Radiological Response Patterns and Their Prognostic Implications in Breast Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.

Purpose: In breast cancer (BC), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) responses can be categorized as concentric shrinkage (CS), non-concentric shrinkage (non-CS), and complete response, influencing surgical planning and survival. This study evaluates the correlation between histopathological and radiological response patterns in BC patients after NAC and their impact on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 168 BC patients who received NAC between 2018 and 2022.

Outbreaks of mushroom poisoning associated with acute kidney injury.

Introduction: The outbreak of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to mushroom poisoning is not a frequently encountered medical challenge. Herein, we present 13 mushroom poisoning cases associated with AKI related to causing poisoning reported in a short time period in Turkey.

Methods: A total of 13 patients with AKI due to mushroom poisoning admitted to Usak Research and Training Hospital between November and December 2020 were included.

Diagnostic performance of multishot echo-planar imaging (RESOLVE) and non-echo-planar imaging (HASTE) diffusion-weighted imaging in cholesteatoma with an emphasis on signal intensity ratio measurement.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of multishot echo-planar imaging (EPI) [RESOLVE (RS)] and non-EPI (HASTE) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in detecting cholesteatoma (CHO), and to explore the role of signal intensity (SI) ratio measurements in addressing diagnostic challenges.

Methods: We analyzed RS-EPI and non-EPI DWI images from 154 patients who had undergone microscopic middle ear surgery, with pathological confirmation of their diagnoses. Two radiologists, referred to as Reader A and Reader B, independently reviewed the images without prior knowledge of the outcomes.

Case Presentation of Duodenal Obstruction Caused by Complete Annular Pancreas.

A complete annular pancreas, a rare congenital anomaly, can lead to duodenal obstruction, causing recurrent symptoms like vomiting and often requiring surgical intervention for relief.

The diagnostic performance and utility of chest XR in relation to chest CT in nontraumatic respiratory emergency patients.

Background And Aim: This study aimed to determine the diagnostic performance and utility of chest radiography in relation to chest computed tomography (CT) in nontraumatic respiratory emergency patients.

Patients And Methods: Patients presenting to the emergency department with respiratory complaints due to nontraumatic pathologies and who had consecutive chest XR and chest CT assessments with an interval of fewer than 6 hours were enrolled in the study (n = 561).

Results: The two methods were determined to be consistent with moderate agreement in detecting pleural effusion (κ = 0.
