Objectives: To retrospectively evaluate whether sonoelastographic evaluation could help predict the presence of an invasive focus in nonpalpable DCIS diagnosed at US-guided needle biopsy.
Methods: One hundred and three consecutive nonpalpable DCIS lesions diagnosed at US-guided needle biopsy were analyzed. To identify the preoperative factors associated with upgrade to invasive cancers on surgical histology, lesion size, B-mode US findings, elasticity score, biopsy variables, and histological variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Interobserver agreement for the elasticity score was evaluated using the multi-rater κ statistics.
Results: The overall upgrade rate was 23% (24 of 103). Elasticity score was found to be the only independent predictor of invasion. The upgrade rates according to the median elasticity score was 6.7% (1 of 15) for a score of 1, 20.6% (13 of 63) for a score of 2, and 40.0% (10 of 25) for a score of 3 (Odds ratio [OR] = 1; OR = 4.19, P = 0.207; OR = 12.32, P = 0.039, respectively). No association was found between other factors and the upgrade rate. The overall interobserver agreement for the elasticity score was moderate (κ = 0.587; P < .001).
Conclusions: Sonoelastographic lesion stiffness is an independent preoperative predictor of invasion in some patients with nonpalpable DCIS at US-guided needle biopsy.

Objective: To investigate integrating an artificial intelligence (AI) system into diagnostic breast ultrasound (US) for improved performance.
Materials And Methods: Seventy suspicious breast mass lesions (53 malignant and 17 benign) from seventy women who underwent diagnostic breast US complemented with shear wave elastography, US-guided core needle biopsy and verified histopathology were enrolled. Two radiologists, one with 15 years of experience and the other with one year of experience, evaluated the images for breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring.

Introduction: Obesity, defined as a body mass index ≥30 kg/m, is a major public health concern in the United States. Preventative approaches are essential, but they are limited by an inability to accurately predict individuals at highest risk of weight gain. Our objective was to develop accurate weight gain prediction models using the National Institutes of Health All of Us dataset.

Fractures of the condylar region of the mandible, although fairly common, also generate the most debate regarding management-both closed and open treatment options have been recommended and shown to yield good results. We present our experience with a minimal access retromandibular approach to fractures of the vertical mandible. This is a retrospective study of all patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for fractures of the vertical mandible (condyle, subcondylar region, ramus) using a retromandibular approach at a tertiary care hospital in a metropolitan city in India between January 2022 and July 2023.

Background/aim: This study aims to compare the success rates of rigid registration (RR) and elastic registration (ER) systems in diagnosing all cancers and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) in software-based targeted prostate biopsies (TPBs) by performing matching analysis.
Materials And Methods: The data of 2061 patients from six centers where software-based TPB is performed were used. All cancer and csPC detection rates of the RR and ER systems were compared following Mahalanobis distance matching with the propensity score caliper method.

Background: The individual treatment response in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) remain unpredictable. In order to support medical decisions, we aimed to predict response to fingolimod compared to placebo, by developing and validating prognostic multivariable models.
Methods: We included two-year follow-up from intention-to-treat populations of two multi-country placebo-controlled randomized controlled trials (RCT) of daily fingolimod 0.
