Incidence, contributing factors, and predictors of diagnostic errors in medical inpatients: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diagnostic error is a major patient safety concern in hospitals, yet most studies have focused on selected high‐risk subgroups, leaving the broader general internal medicine inpatient population understudied. Objectives To determine the incidence, contributing factors, resulting harm, and predictors of diagnostic error in medical ...

Quantitative Real‐Time MRI for the Assessment of Gastric Motility

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Current reference standards for measuring gastric emptying and motility are not considered optimal due to the time required, ionizing radiation, invasiveness, and spatial resolution. Purpose To assess gastric motility using novel real‐time dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in combination with static measurements for gastric ...

Assessment of Thyroid Uptake Ratio Values in a Normal Population. Establishment of Normal Reference Values for 99mTc‐Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake in an Australian Population

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An Australian first, this study examined normal reference ranges for 99mTc‐pertechnetate thyroid uptake. Through a retrospective and prospective analysis, this study found a new reference range of 0.4%–2.4%. The findings suggest that locally derived reference values may differ from historical data and highlight the importance of region‐specific ...

Diagnostic dilemma of cystic biliary atresia: A series of two cases and brief review of the diagnostic modalities

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Improving Lung Scintigraphy [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2009
1919 Objectives Investigate the feasibility of D- and L-enantiomers of [18F]-labelled 2- and 6-FDOPA for melanoma imaging. Methods D- and L-enantiomers of [18F]2- and 6-FDOPA were prepared by the direct fluorination of DOPA. 20 mBq of each tracer (0.2 mL) was injected into the tail veins of mice bearing B16-F10 mealnoma tumor after they were ...

Dynamic Profiling of Circulating Tumor Cells and MYC/PTEN Alterations in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy in Amazon Population

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed malignancy among men and the sixth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Radical prostatectomy remains the standard treatment for localized disease; however, approximately one‐third of patients develop biochemical recurrence within 10 years. Although prostate‐specific
