Thermal ablation effective long term in patients with thyroid cancer

AuntMinnie

Conversely, thermal ablation – radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and laser ablation – are minimally invasive procedures guided by ultrasound that use extreme temperatures to destroy the tumors. The 10-year disease-free survival was 93.9%. The mean age of patients was 45.8 years old and 118 (65.9%) were women.

Deep-learning algorithm improves liver fibrosis diagnosis

AuntMinnie

An algorithm combining the Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4) and an ultrasound deep-learning model could improve diagnostic accuracy and referral management for all-cause advanced liver fibrosis, a study published April 23 in Radiology found. Noninvasive tests can be used to screen patients with chronic liver disease for advanced liver fibrosis.

Bauersachs 2013 ) Clinical Significance SVT previously thought to be a benign disease entity ( Cosmi 2015 ) However, subsequent studies have demonstrated that in patients with lower extremity SVT concomitant DVT and PE was seen in approximately 25% and 5% respectively. Risk factors for the development of SVT are similar to those of VTE.
