Clinical outcome in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in the presence of concomitant MCL injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to compare clinical outcomes between operative versus non-operative management of concomitant medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)injuries, and to compare clinical outcomes between patients with isolated...

The Potential Role of 99mTc-FAPI SPECT/CT in the Staging of Mucinous Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma

We present a 55‑year‑old woman with adnexal masses and elevated CEA. Malignancy workup, adnexal biopsy, and intraoperative assessment revealed the appendix as the primary site, with pathology confirming mucinous adenocarcinoma. While mucinous tumors often show limited avidity on...

Association between ankle–brachial index and body composition parameters measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis in patients with high-risk type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common macrovascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) associated with substantial morbidity. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a simple, non-invasive, and widely recommended tool for PAD screening, while al...

Relationship between radiosensitivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes, breast cancer cells, and breast cancer stem cells in patients with breast cancer

Radiosensitivity (RS) is an important biological factor that may contribute to future radiotherapy individualization. However, a comprehensive metric that adequately captures the complexities of radiation sensitivity has not yet been proposed, and the survival fraction at 2 Gy (S...
