Fetal short-term memory found in 30-week-old fetuses
Memory probably begins during the prenatal period, but little is known about the exact timing or for how long memory lasts. Now in a new study from the Netherlands, scientists have found fetal short-term memory in fetuses at 30 weeks. view more (2009-07-15)
Large congenital and solitary intrahepatic arterioportal
A case report to be published on April 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology reported incidental findings of a large and solitary congenital APF in a 73-year-old woman. view more (2009-04-15)
Ultrasound screening helps prevent stroke in children with sickle cell disease
Screening with an ultrasound machine has proved highly successful in preventing stroke among children with sickle cell disease, by identifying children who are then preventively treated with blood transfusions. view more (2008-12-08)
How about the feasibility of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided choledochoduodenostomy?
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biliary drainage for treatment of patients who have obstructive jaundice in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). view more (2008-11-03)
The small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of vater
Ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is extremely rare and has only been documented in few case reports and retrospective study. The patients with ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma usually presented after the age of 60 years, and a male predilection was observed. view more (2008-09-25)
A breakthrough in contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography
The present brief clinical report showed that Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) using a new microbubble agent, Sonazoid, can allow surgeons to investigate the whole liver with enough time and to find new metastases intraoperatively. view more (2008-09-18)
Anti-tumor therapy with endoscopic ultrasound may fight cancer more safely and effectively
The chairman of EUS2008 today announced that investigational research on a therapeutic technique that will allow physicians to directly inject malignant tumors with cancer fighting agents from inside the body will be presented at the 16th International Symposium of Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS2008) in San Francisco on September 12-13. view more (2008-09-12)
Does artificial intelligence help clinicians to recognize atrophic gastritis with thyroid disease?
The association of ABG with thyroid disorders (TD) was first described about 40 years ago. These older studies assessed the association between Pernicious Anemia (PA) and Thyroiditis on the basis of gastric and or thyroid auto-antibodies. Only recently systematic studies have focused on this frequently overlooked association. view more (2008-02-27)
Are tumors causing stricture of bile duct always malignant?
The benign biliary tract tumor is rarely found in clinical practice. One case of bile duct adenomyoma was recently reported in the January 28 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology. view more (2008-02-22)
Exclusion of common bile duct stones prior to gallstone operations
CBDS occur in 7-20% of all patients undergoing a gallstone operation and may complicate the course of surgery. Although intraoperative x-ray investigation was routinely performed to diagnose CBDS in the pre-laparoscopic era, its use during the laparoscopic era has been debated. view more (2007-10-31)
Is the spleen able to prohibit tumor cell proliferation?
Primary and metastatic tumors of the spleen are described as unusual, excluding involvement by lymphoma. Indeed, isolated splenic metastasis from colorectal carcinoma is not a common occurrence. Its rareness has been hypothetically explained by several characteristics of the spleen, such as anatomical, histological and immunological features. view more (2007-10-17)
18F-DG PET/CT can highly increase the detection of colorectal cancer
Combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is currently widely used in the clinical diagnosis of cancer to provide functional and morphological imaging. view more (2007-10-11)
Breast MRI may help determine surgical management of women with newly diagnosed breast cancer
Among women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast appears helpful in determining surgical treatment. view more (2007-05-22)
Statin therapy associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis with key lipid level changes
An analysis of data from four clinical trials suggests that statin therapy is associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis when low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C or "bad" cholesterol) is substantially reduced and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C or "good" cholesterol) is increased, but it remains... view more...

Concern over safety of commercial ultrasound scans
Expectant parent' desire to see images of their unborn children has given rise to commercial companies offering keepsake ultrasound scans without medical supervision, often referred to as "boutique ultrasonography." view more (2007-02-06)
New guidelines issued for diagnosis and management of venous thromboembolism
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and American College of Physicians (ACP) today released new clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of venous thromboembolism (VTE). view more (2007-01-30)
New procedure safer for detecting fetal anemia
An innovative, non invasive ultrasound procedure to detect anemia in the fetus during high risk pregnancy is safer for patients. view more (2006-07-13)
Improving the standard of rheumatology care in Europe
The Annual European Congress of Rheumatology commenced today with a comprehensive set of recommendations which aim to clarify treatment options for a range of debilitating rheumatic conditions. view more (2006-06-22)
Ultrasounds show mothers' drinking shrinks fetal brain
Routine ultrasounds show that heavy drinkers who continue to imbibe after learning they are pregnant may carry fetuses with reduced skull and brain growth compared to those of abstainers or quitters, says a new study. view more (2006-04-28)
Sometimes no treatment is the right option for low-risk prostate cancer
When Houston restaurateur Tony Masraff was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, his life was packed with dancing, running marathons, playing tennis, gardening, leading a successful business and spending time with his family. view more (2006-03-24)
