... In terms of mode of administration, it is difficult for this review to determine adherence to the recommendation for electronic methods. The majority of studies included neglected to report on the mode of administration of instruments; only ten studies [35,46,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] reported using electronic administration. In fact, only two studies [35,46] included in this review met all the recommendations outlined by Basch et al. [30] for the collection and reporting of PRAE data. ...

... As for the 531 abstracts obtained through strategy 4, we found 5 relevant abstracts that mentioned the following as targets for being empowered: underrepresented minority leadership [335], individuals change agents [349], people discussing EDI in libraries [350], DEI in radiology [351], and students [319]. ...

... In a recent retrospective analysis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma [23], the authors investigated whether specific mutations, including those in PP2A, were associated with survival outcomes following ICB therapy. ...

... PSC is difficult to diagnose, and no specific biomarker that could support the diagnosis of PSC has been identified [10,57]. Liver function tests may be useful to start an investigation, but there are no specific laboratory markers that help diagnose PSC [58]. Although patients with PSC may be initially assessed with ultrasound or computed tomography, cholangiography based on magnetic resonance cholangiography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography evaluation is usually required to make a definitive diagnosis. ...

... The combination of nivolumab and the anti-CTL-4 tremelimumab, as sequential versus concomitant administration, in platinum-resistant heavily pretreated patients with HGSOC, did not show signs of activity, having reported no objective response and limited PFS [56]. ...

... early-stage SCSTs typically undergo conservative surgery to preserve fertility or maintain ovarian function, whereas patients with EOC require radical tumor resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy [2,5]. It is therefore imperative to distinguish between SCST and EOC at the preoperative stage [6]. ...

... The pathogenesis of PCI is still uncertain, and there are 4 main theories that could explain its origin: 1) bacterial -the presence of gas-producing bacteria inside the intestinal wall; 2) mechanical -increased intraluminal pressure or epithelial injury allowing gas passage from the lumen into the intestinal wall; 3) biochemical -increased hydrogen gas production from carbohydrate fermentation exerts pressure within the intestinal lumen and is forced through the mucosa; 4) pulmonary diseases such as COPD and interstitial pneumonia may cause alveolar rupture leading to gas release, which travels along the mesenteric vessels into the mesentery. Coughing with abrupt changes in intra-abdominal pressure may also be an important contributing factor 2, 3,5,7,9,[11][12][13]15,[19][20][21]26,[28][29][30] . ...

... With repetition, pertinent images may be memorized and patterns recognized, but this type of learning, divorced from anatomical understanding, can be limiting. The perisplenic region can be a particularly confusing area in which to recognize pathology with its complex peritoneal spaces and folds [4]. The pericardial space, coined the "living" pericardial space by electrophysiologists for its nuanced anatomy, can be another challenge for the student of the FAST exam [5]. ...

... Similarly, a large multicentre study of 3449 men with suspected or biopsy confirmed untreated prostate cancer across 23 centres comprising the Society of Abdominal Radiology Prostate Cancer Disease-Focused Panel, found a positive predictive value (PPV) for clinically significant cancer (Gleason Grade Group ≥2) to range from 5%, 15%, 39%, and 72% for PI-RADS v2 scores of 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively [22]. The PPV varied widely across the different imaging centres, with an estimated overall PPV for PI-RADS score ≥3 of 35% with an interquartile range of 27-48% across sites. ...

... Notably, recent advancements have highlighted its significant advantages in the evaluation of oncology patients [20][21][22]. Key among these applications are virtual noncontrast (VNC) and iodine maps, which effectively highlight tissue vascularity [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] in both primary tumors and metastases [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Furthermore, enhanced visualization of vascular structures enables the optimized assessment of vascular involvement [44]. ...
