One-third of patients with IBC who received NAC and MRM had pathologically negative nodes. Factors associated with ypN0 included ycN0 status and HR-negative/HER2-positive subtype. Large, prospective studies are needed to investigate the feasibility of alternative nodal evaluation strategies in IBC, with consideration to these…[Read more]

Conclusions Due to limited testing capacities, mortality numbers may serve as a better indicator for COVID-19 case spread in many countries. Our data indicate that countries like France, Italy, the United States, Iran and Spain have extremely high numbers of undetected and underreported cases. Differences in testing availability and capacity,…[Read more]

=0.01 ). The mean statin dosage (atorvastatin equivalent) was 17 mg/day. In the 79 ACS patients who underwent the follow-up examination, the LDL-C under target rate rose to 59.5%.

Only a minority of patients with stable CAD or ACS were under their target LDL-C level at enrollment. The statin dose was not…[Read more]

Image quality and heart-to-extra-cardiac ratios comparing early versus later imaging with tetrofosmin were comparable if not equivalent to each other. The equivalency of the imaging quality occurs with 15 minutes (on average) earlier imaging compared to sestamibi and 30 minutes compared to standard time tetrofosmin. The subjective findings of…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to define the clinical outcome and prognostic determinants of distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) for pancreatic body/tail cancer. A pooled data analysis was performed on individual data for patients who underwent DP-CAR for pancreatic body/tail cancer as identified by systematic literature…[Read more]

Strong CYP3A induction, in contrast, resulted in mean decreases by 57-90% (mean decrease in midazolam exposure 86%). Namely, the magnitude of the observed induction effects varied from weak to strong. Our data might provide an impetus to revisit the currently applied clinical recommendations for oral contraceptives, especially for levonorgestrel…[Read more]

A CT scan obtained 15 years prior revealed a cyst at the corresponding site and the mass was diagnosed as a warfarin-related hemorrhage within the pre-existing pulmonary cyst. We performed a surgical resection of the cyst to prevent any worsening hemorrhage and subsequent infection. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was d…[Read more]
