Comparison of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration and Core Needle Biopsy [PDF]
We compared the adequacy and accuracy of fineneedle aspiration (FNA) with core needle aspiration in a total of 377 patients who underwent both tests. The adequacy rate for core needle biopsy (82.2%) was significantly higher than that of FNA (70.3%; P < .001), but the combined adequacy was significantly higher than that for either test alone (88.9%; P <

Immune Reactivity and Pseudoprogression or Tumor Flare in a Serially Biopsied Neuroendocrine Patient Treated with the Epigenetic Agent RRx-001. [PDF]
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are grouped together as a single class on the basis of histologic appearance, immunoreactivity for the neuroendocrine markers chromogranin A and synaptophysin, and potential secretion of hormones, neurotransmitters ...

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]
Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.

EUS-Guided Biopsy with a Novel Puncture Biopsy Forceps Needle—Feasibility Study
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy (FNB) to diagnose lesions in the gastrointestinal tract is common. Demand for histology sampling to identify treatment-specific targets is increasing. Various core biopsy FNB needles

Flexible transbronchial optical frequency domain imaging smart needle for biopsy guidance [PDF]
Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a procedure routinely performed to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions. However, TBNA is associated with a low diagnostic yield due to inappropriate needle placement.

Impact of touch preparations on core needle biopsies [PDF]
BACKGROUNDTouch preparations (TPs) can be performed for on‐site adequacy assessment of core needle biopsies (CNBs). Although TPs can play a role in decreasing the number of nondiagnostic core biopsies, the impact of TPs on CNB has not been extensively evaluated.METHODSComputerized tomography–guided CNBs performed in a tertiary cancer center were ...
