Non-enhanced abbreviated MRI as a periodic surveillance protocol for colorectal liver metastases compared with contrast-enhanced CT: a prospective observational study.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Adopting appropriate noninvasive radiological method is crucial for periodic surveillance of liver metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after surgery, which is closely related to clinical management and prognosis. This study aimed to prospectively enroll stage II-III CRC patients for the surveillance of liver metastases, and compare the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) and non-enhanced abbreviated MRI (NE-AMRI) during this process.
Methods: 587 CRC patients undergoing radical resection of the primary tumor were evaluated by 1 to 3 rounds of surveillance tests, consisting of abdominal CE-CT and contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) within 7 days at 6-month intervals.
The diagnostic accuracy of plasma and serum calprotectin is inferior to C-reactive protein in patients with suspected Crohn's disease.
Scand J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Gastroenterology, Esbjerg Hospital - University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Esbjerg, Denmark.
Background And Aims: Prior studies indicate that serum calprotectin (SC) and plasma calprotectin (PC) can be used as biomarkers in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of SC and PC in patients with a clinical suspicion of CD.
Method: This biobank study included patients from a prospective, blinded, multicenter study examining minimally invasive modalities for diagnosing CD.
Impact of atrial fibrillation on productivity in working-age patients: an analysis of Swiss-AF prospective cohort study data.
Swiss Med Wkly
January 2025
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Aims: We aimed to explore atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced productivity losses in working-age atrial fibrillation patients and to estimate atrial fibrillation-related indirect costs.
Methods: Between 2014 and 2017, the Swiss Atrial Fibrillation prospective cohort study (Swiss-AF) enrolled 217 working-age patients with documented atrial fibrillation. Self-reported changes in professional activity and the reasons thereof were descriptively analysed over 8 years of follow-up or until patients reached the retirement age.
Relationship between ferroptosis and healing of diabetic foot ulcer: a prospective clinical study.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the common complications in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). In order to find a method to monitor and treat the refractory DFU, the ferroptosis level in DFU and traumatic wounds (TW) was monitored and the difference between them was analyzed. At the same time, this study further analyzed the correlation of ferroptosis levels with DM severity and DFU's healing.

Medical Oncology, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, IND.
Introduction Evidence suggests inflammation plays a key role in the development of ovarian malignancy. This study investigated the relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP) to serum albumin (Alb) ratio and clinicopathological parameters in ovarian cancer patients. The goal was to determine if this readily measurable inflammatory marker could provide insights into disease severity.
