Intraindividual Consistency of Iodine Concentration in Dual-Energy Computed Tomography of the Chest and Abdomen: Objectives Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)–derived quantification of iodine concentration (IC) is increasingly used in oncologic imaging to characterize lesions and evaluate treatment response. However, only limited data are available on intraindividual consistency of IC and its variation. This study investigates the longitudinal reproducibility of IC in organs, vessels, and...

A Comprehensive View on MRI Techniques for Imaging Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the interface between the blood and brain tissue, which regulates the maintenance of homeostasis within the brain. Impaired BBB integrity is increasingly associated with various neurological diseases. To gain a better understanding of the underlying processes involved in BBB breakdown, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are highly suitable for noninvasive BBB assessment. Commonly...

Fusion of Preinterventional MR Imaging With Liver Perfusion CT After RFA of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Early Quantitative Prediction of Local Recurrence: Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of fusion of pretreatment magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with posttreatment perfusion–CT (P-CT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and to determine treatment success in an objective, quantitative way. Materials and Methods In this institutional...

CT Dosimetry: What Has Been Achieved and What Remains to Be Done: Radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) has become a hot topic due to an upward trend in the number of CT procedures worldwide and the relatively high doses associated with these procedures. The main aim of this review article is to provide an overview of the most frequently used metrics for CT radiation dose characterization, discuss their strengths and limitations, and present patient dose assessment methods. Computed tomography...

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Radiomics Signature to Distinguish Benign From Malignant Orbital Lesions: Objectives Distinguishing benign from malignant orbital lesions remains challenging both clinically and with imaging, leading to risky biopsies. The objective was to differentiate benign from malignant orbital lesions using radiomics on 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. Materials and Methods This institutional review board–approved prospective single-center study enrolled...

Left heart bypass versus circulatory arrest for open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies: Our meta‐analysis found equivalent outcomes between left heart bypass and hypothermic circulatory arrest for open repair of thoracic aortic and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies. Clinical outcomes evaluated were 30‐day mortality, post‐operative stroke, spinal cord deficit, renal failure and respiratory failure. AbstractBackgroundMost large‐volume centres use left heart bypass (LHB) as their preferred...

Systematic review of perioperative mortality risk prediction models for adults undergoing inpatient non‐cardiac surgery: Risk prediction tools can be used in the perioperative setting to identify high‐risk patients who may benefit from increased surveillance and monitoring in the postoperative period, to aid shared decision‐making, and to benchmark risk‐adjusted hospital performance. We evaluated perioperative risk prediction tools relevant to an Australian context. AbstractBackgroundRisk prediction...

Gene signatures from scRNA‐seq accurately quantify mast cells in biopsies in asthma: AbstractRespiratory disease, characterized by changes in the cells of the lung, can affect molecular phenotype of cells and the intercellular interactions, resulting in a disbalance in the relative proportions of individual cell types. Understanding these changes is essential to understand the pathophysiology of lung disease. Conventional 'bulk' RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐seq), analyzing the entire transcriptome of the...

High Prevalence and Conservative Management of Acute Cholecystitis during Lenvatinib for Advanced Thyroid Cancer: Introduction: Lenvatinib (LEN) is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor currently used for advanced, radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAI-R DTC). Among adverse events (AEs), nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite have been frequently described. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, the clinical presentation, and the effectiveness of conservative treatment of gallbladder...

Low Diagnostic Yield of Repeat Blood Cultures in Adult Hematologic Malignancy Patients with Persistent Neutropenic Fever: AbstractFever complicates chemotherapy‐induced neutropenia in >80% of patients with hematologic malignancies. Microbiologically documented infections occur in 22%–39% of febrile episodes; common sites of tissue‐based infection include the intestinal tract, lung, and skin. Bacteremia is established in 18% of patients on fluoroquinolone prophylaxis versus 34% of patients not...

Biallelic intronic AAGGG expansion of RFC1 is related to multiple system atrophy: ObjectiveA recessive biallelic repeat expansion, (AAGGG)exp, in the RFC1 gene has been reported to be a frequent cause of late‐onset ataxia. For cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS), the recessive biallelic (AAGGG)exp genotype was present in approximately 92% of cases. This study aimed to examine whether the pentanucleotide repeat (PNR) was related to multiple system atrophy (MSA)...

Positive selection within the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 and other Coronaviruses independent of impact on protein function [NEW RESULTS]: Background: The emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) associated with severe acute respiratory disease (COVID-19) has prompted efforts to understand the genetic basis for its unique characteristics and its jump from non-primate hosts to humans. Tests for positive selection can identify apparently nonrandom patterns of mutation accumulation within genomes, highlighting...
