ABSTRACT Objectives Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare condition, affecting 1 in 100 000 newborns. Its prenatal diagnosis is challenging and not well described in the literature, especially when it appears isolated and not as part of a complex malformation or syndromic pattern. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of

Modified Delphi study of ultrasound signs associated with placenta accreta spectrum
ABSTRACT Objective To determine, by expert consensus through a modified Delphi process, the role of standardized and new ultrasound signs in the prenatal evaluation of patients at high risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Methods A systematic review of articles providing information on ultrasound imaging signs or markers associated with PAS was ...

This long‐term follow‐up study determined survival rates in a Swedish national cohort of 417 patients with breast cancer who all had neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST). Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was performed before NAST in clinically node‐negative and after NAST in clinically node‐positive patients.

ABSTRACT Objective Previous work has suggested that the ultrasound‐based benign simple descriptors (BDs) can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the BDs and to validate a two‐step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy, in which the modified ...

Currently, the minimal functional adrenal remnant size, and the impact of intraoperative imaging technologies on remnant function after partial adrenalectomy, is unknown. In the present experimental study, intraoperative perfusion assessment, using quantitative fluorescence imaging, confocal laser endomicroscopy and contrast‐enhanced CT, enabled ...

In UK practice, surgical resection margin status is often used to stratify patients for receipt of adjuvant treatment. This cohort study suggested both an overall and recurrence‐free survival benefit following adjuvant therapy in patients with positive margins, who had undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resectional surgery for oesophageal ...

This meta‐analysis investigated the influence of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on outcomes after upper gastrointestinal surgery. SDD led to a reduction in anastomotic leakage (odds ratio (OR) 0·39, 95 per cent c.i. 0·19 to 0·80; P = 0·010) and pneumonia (OR 0·42, 0·23 to 0·78; P = 0·006).

This study demonstrates the variation in reporting of descriptors of patients in studies comparing laparoscopic and open peptic ulcer repair. It shows wider variation, and proposes the need to address this to improve the quality of research. Makes comparisons difficult Background The ability to compare findings across surgical research is important ...
