Comparative evaluation of ultrasonography and lateral radiography in nasal fractures diagnosis.

Authors:
Rostam Pourmoosa Javad Pourmoosa Amirmasoud Taheri Mohammad Khademloo Hadi Majidi

Am J Otolaryngol 2022 May-Jun;43(3):103439. Epub 2022 Apr 5.

Department of Radiology, Orthopedic Research Center, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran.

Background: Nasal fractures are the most common type of trauma fracture. Conventional radiography is the primary method of choice. Ultrasonography is used as a new and non-invasive method for this purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic values of ultrasonography with nasal X-ray.

Methods: This was a prospective study which was conducted during 2018-2019 at Bouali hospital, Sari, northern Iran. 130 patients who met our criteria enrolled our study. All patients underwent nasal X-ray and ultrasonography on a day of trauma. The physical examination during the reduction in operation room considered as gold standard for nasal bone fracture. The sensitivity, specificity, precision, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values, along with 95% confidence intervals, were determined by SPSS.

Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, negative predictive values, and precision of nasal X-ray were all reported to be 100% when compared to physical examination (the gold standard). Ultrasonography had a sensitivity of 78.13%, a specificity of 100%, a PPV of 100%, an NPV of 61.82%, and a precision of 83.85% in comparison to physical examination (the gold standard).

Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that ultrasonography can be utilized as a main diagnostic tool in the identification of nasal bone fractures in the vast majority of cases, avoiding the unwanted dangers and problems of X-rays. This is especially critical for expecting mothers and children.

Phenotypic Frailty Score Predicts Perioperative Outcomes for Geriatric Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Authors:
Sahir S Pervaiz Scott J Douglas Oliver C Sax Austin Nabet Ruben G Monarrez Ethan A Remily Thomas Novack James Nace Ronald E Delanois

Orthopedics 2022 Aug 10:1-6. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

Various assessment tools are often used to predict perioperative morbidity among patients older than 75 years who undergo total joint arthroplasty. Yet, few studies describe the use of phenotypic frailty as a predictor for outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess phenotypic frailty with the Sinai Abbreviated Geriatric Evaluation (SAGE) and compare its utility with established assessment tools used in practice. Read More

Correlation of the Ki67 Working Group prognostic risk categories with the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score in early breast cancer.

Authors:
Rima Patel Malin Hovstadius Melanie W Kier Erin L Moshier Brittney S Zimmerman Krystal Cascetta Shabnam Jaffer Joseph A Sparano Amy Tiersten

Cancer 2022 Aug 10. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai/Tisch Cancer Institute, New York, New York, USA.

Background: The relationship between Ki67 assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score (RS) is unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the 21-gene RS and IHC-measured Ki67 with the prognostic classification groups recommended by the International Ki67 Working Group (IKWG).

Methods: The authors performed a retrospective chart review of women who had hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer with zero to three positive lymph nodes and both Ki67 and the 21-gene RS performed at their institution from 2013 to 2021.

Predictors of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Arcuate Keratotomy Efficacy for Astigmatism Correction in Cataract Surgery.

Authors:
Fan Zhang Shaowei Li Dongmei Huo Qiumei Li

J Refract Surg 2022 Aug 1;38(8):480-486. Epub 2022 Aug 1.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictors related to the efficacy of epithelium- and Bowman membrane-penetrating femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) in the treatment of preoperative astigmatism in patients with cataracts and to clarify the predictive role of the incision-to-limbus distance.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery combined with FSAK using the LenSX platform (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) at Beijing Aier-Intech Eye Hospital from March 2017 to December 2021. The Lenstar LS900 (Haag-Streit, Inc) was used to measure the horizontal corneal diameter, and ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health) was used to measure the vertical corneal diameter and incision-to-limbus distance.

Özlem Güler Mehmet Buğra Bozan Filiz Alkan Baylan Serdar Öter

Turk J Gastroenterol 2022 Aug 10. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

Department of Gastroenterologic Surgery, Manisa State Hospital, Turkey.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the utility of immature granulocyte count and percentage on the prediction of suspected acute appendicitis according to the Alvarado scoring system and its effect on the need for computed tomography scanning.

Methods: Adult patients who had an Alvarado scoring system between 4 and 7 with the first imaging technique computed tomography were included and retrospectively analyzed. The immature granulocyte count and granulocyte percentage were obtained from the blood samples taken at the time of the patient's first admission to the hospital. Read More
