Introduction: Direct smearing preparation (conventional preparation [CP]) has been widely used for endometrial cytology in Japan. In CP, sampling and screening errors are problematic. In liquid-based cytology preparation (LBC), the problems of CP can be solved. Read More

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) has emerged as a viable alternative to contrast-enhanced breast MRI, and it may increase access to vascular imaging while reducing examination cost. Intravenous iodinated contrast materials are used in CEM to enhance the visualization of tumor neovascularity. After injection, imaging is performed with dual-energy digital mammography, which helps provide a low-energy image and a recombined or iodine image that depict enhancing lesions in the breast.

Ann Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg 2021 Feb;25(1):39-45

Department of Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.

Backgrounds/aims: Biliary complications continue to be the major morbidity and mortality causes following living donor liver transplantation (LT). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been performed to identify the biliary leakage source. However, this can lead to retrograde cholangitis and pancreatitis, and is not sufficient to diagnose bile leakage from cuts' surface. Read More

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2021 Feb 26:102874. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Background: Revision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires preoperative assessment to identify the causes of failure. Multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) is a commonly used imaging technique, but is sensitive to certain artifacts, such as metal implants, limiting its use Cone-beam CT (CBCT)is a new technique dedicated to musculoskeletal imaging that is less sensitive to artifacts and could be utilized in knee implantation surgery. CBCT has not yet been validated for this indication, and we therefore undertook a retrospective assessment of MDCT versus CBCT, comparing: 1) image quality; 2) reproducibility of angle measurements; 3) effectiveness in screening for periprosthetic radiolucency and implant loosening; and 4) radiation dose.

Department of Community Health Sciences.

This study evaluated the measurement and construct validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short Form (EDE-QS) in a transgender and gender diverse sample. Participants who self-identified as transgender and gender diverse ( = 71) completed self-report measures of demographics, gender-related experiences, and disordered eating/body image. Analyses comprised evaluation of EDE-QS internal consistency, convergent validity, and specificity for disordered eating. Read More
