Re-evaluating the timing of sequential cranial ultrasound screening in very preterm infants for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Pediatr Radiol

December 2024

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Division of Pediatric Radiology, Dalhousie University, IWK Health, 5850/5980 University Avenue, PO Box 9700, Halifax, NS, B3K 6R8, Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • - The objective of the study is to determine whether a model using fewer cranial ultrasounds can accurately predict neurodevelopmental impairment in very preterm infants, as current practices involve four screening points.
  • - The research analyzed data from 656 very preterm infants born between 2004 and 2018, finding that 30% of them developed neurodevelopmental impairment by 36 months of age, while comparing different prediction models based on gestational age, sex, and ultrasound timing.
  • - Results indicated that the model using the 6-week ultrasound provided the best predictive ability for neurodevelopmental impairment, though all models showed similar effectiveness according to their statistical performance measures.

Re-evaluating Endometrial Thickness in Symptomatic Postmenopausal Patients for Excluding Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

J Am Coll Radiol

Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Electronic address:

Purpose: The current ACR and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines recommend a ≤4-mm endometrial thickness threshold for excluding endometrial cancer in symptomatic postmenopausal patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to re-evaluate the optimal endometrial thickness threshold on imaging for excluding cancer in symptomatic postmenopausal patients.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from inception to October 2023 was performed in addition to a gray literature search.

Aim: Pulmonary artery involvement is a severe complication of Behcet's disease (BD). Although venous thrombosis is common in BD, pulmonary embolism is considered to be rare because the inflammatory nature makes the thrombi strongly adherent to the venous walls. This study aimed to define the radiological characteristics of pulmonary artery thrombosis (PAT) on computed tomography (CT) imaging in BD patients.

Introduction: Blunt cardiac injury (BCI) can be challenging diagnostically, and if misdiagnosed, can lead to life-threatening complications. Our institution previously evaluated BCI screening with troponin and electrocardiogram (EKG) during a transition from troponin I to high sensitivity troponin (hsTnI), a more sensitive troponin I assay. The previous study found an hsTnI of 76 ng/L had the highest capability of accurately diagnosing a clinically significant BCI.

Using Computer-aided Optical Diagnosis and Expert Review to Evaluate Colorectal Polyps Diagnosed as Normal Mucosa in Pathology.

Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol

November 2024

Division of Gastroenterology, University of Montreal Hospital Center (CHUM), Montreal, Quebec, Canada; University of Montreal Hospital Research Center (CRCHUM), Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Pathological assessment is the main method for diagnosing colorectal polyps, but around 10% of submitted polyps are diagnosed as normal or with non-cancerous conditions.
  • Recent studies suggest that discrepancies between endoscopic diagnoses and pathology findings may be due to errors made during the pathology diagnosis.
  • The authors aim to re-evaluate the diagnosis of mucosal polyps by incorporating expert endoscopist insights and computer-assisted diagnosis techniques.
