IS BASELINE STRAIN INDEX A PROGNOSTIC FACTOR FOR SMALL UNILATERAL SUPRASPINATUS TENDON TEARS? A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Purpose: From prospectively report the 2-year follow-up clinical and
real-time sonoelastography (RTSE) outcomes of a group of patients
affected by small unilateral supraspinatus tendon tears. Our hypothesis
was that patients with lower baseline strain indexes would have worst
outcomes at follow-up.

BREAST CANCER RISK EVALUATION - A CORRELATION BETWEEN MAMMOGRAPHIC DENSITY AND THE GAIL MODEL

The Gail model is a statistical tool, which assesses breast cancer probability, based on nonmodifiable risk factors.  In contrast, the evaluation of mammographic breast density is an independent and dynamic risk factor influenced by interventions modifying breast cancer risk incidence.

BREAST DENSITY EVALUATION: A COMPARISON BETWEEN ASSESSMENT BY A RADIOLOGIST AND THE COMPUTER-ASSISTED THRESHOLD TECHNIQUE

Traditionally, mammographic density (MD) of the breast has been assessed by a radiologist visually. This subjective evaluation requires significant experience to distinguish the relative proportions of the fibrous connective tissue and adipose tissue in the mammary gland correctly.

PANCREATOGASTROSTOMY WITH ONE CONTINUOUS SEROMUSCULAR CIRCULAR SUTURE

One of the most feared complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). In the current study, we demonstrate a new technique for pancreaticogastrostomy (PG), using one continuous seromuscular circular suture without trans pancreas sutures for PG.
