Introduction: Image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) is the standard for diagnostic breast biopsy. However, the upgrade rate to a higher order lesion defined as identification of malignancy on final pathology from surgical excision remains problematic.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review of all core needle biopsies from 2008 to 2012 was performed. We identified lesions demonstrating atypia without associated malignancy on core needle biopsy and recorded multiple factors to evaluate predictors of upgrade.
Results: Of 151 independent core needle biopsies recorded, 26.5% were upgraded to a higher order lesion. Concurrent mammogram and ultrasound (US) were associated with higher sampling error than any individual imaging modality (P = .021). MRI had a trend toward lower rate of upgrade rate but did not reach statistical significance.
Discussion: Although MRI had a lower rate of upgrade rate due to sampling error, this did not reach significance possibly because of our small sample size.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is definitively diagnosed by systematic prostate biopsy (SBx) with 13 cores. This method, however, can increase the risk of urinary retention, infection and bleeding due to the excessive number of biopsy cores.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 622 patients who underwent SBx with prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) from two centers between January 2014 to June 2022.

Deep learning has achieved significant success in the field of defect detection; however, challenges remain in detecting small-sized, densely packed parts under complex working conditions, including occlusion and unstable lighting conditions. This paper introduces YOLOv8-n as the core network to propose VEE-YOLO, a robust and high-performance defect detection model. Firstly, GSConv was introduced to enhance feature extraction in depthwise separable convolution and establish the VOVGSCSP module, emphasizing feature reusability for more effective feature engineering.

Introduction: The rate of nondiagnostic and indeterminate cytology findings from fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is quite high, resulting in repeated puncture and unnecessary surgery. The primary objective of this investigation is to compare diagnostic accuracy of core-needle biopsy (CNB) with repeat FNAB for thyroid nodules with initially inconclusive (nondiagnostic and/or atypia of undetermined significance) FNAB results.
Materials And Methods: A thorough search was performed on the Cochrane Library, Scopus, Europe PMC, and Medline databases until October 20th, 2024, employing a combination of pertinent keywords.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) has endowed gold species with responsive fluorescent properties, favoring their potential applications in sensing, imaging, and therapy. However, it remains an interesting challenge to fabricate fluorophores with both AIE and AIEE effects. Herein, we presented highly luminescent Au(I) thiolate nanocomplex-based biosensors with Zn induced-AIE and zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) induced-AIEE effects.

Percutaneous biopsy is the standard of care for breast lesions, except nipple lesions which are primarily biopsied by excision due to perceived risks of pain and bleeding. However, excisional biopsy of nipple lesion inevitably leads to disfigurement and possible loss of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC), highlighting the need for minimally invasive biopsy techniques. We present our experience of seven patients who underwent ultrasound-guided core biopsy or vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) for sampling of clinically occult nipple lesions.
