Women missing and skipping their follow-up breast cancer MRI
16/10/2019 Duración: 10minThe authors analyzed data from nearly 3,000 breast MRI exams administered at the Baltimore institution between 2011 and 2016. They pinpointed 185 individuals who met the study’s criteria, with a provider labeling them as BI-RADS category 3. About 57% of study subjects received their follow-up examination in a timely fashion within 10 months, and another 18% did so after a slightly longer period of time. Meanwhile, about 24%, or 45 individuals, never visited for their follow-up MRI. Women initially deemed to have a less than 2% chance of developing breast cancer often skip the recommended follow-up MRI six months later. Johns Hopkins researchers are attempting to understand why, and recently published some early insights into the issue. They estimated that about 24% of patients categorized as a 3 in the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) did not return for their re-examination. Factors fueling that failure included high out-of-pocket expenses and a lack of any past history of brea

New blood test detects brain tumors with 87% accuracy
13/10/2019 Duración: 07minA new study has introduced a promising blood test that health professionals may soon use to accurately detect brain cancer. Dr. Matthew J. Baker, a reader in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is the lead author of the new research. He and his colleagues have now published their findings in the journal Nature Communications. Of the study, Dr. Baker says, "This is the first publication of data from our clinical feasibility study, and it is the first demonstration that our blood test works in the clinic." Although it is quite rare, brain cancer often has a poor outlook. According to the National Cancer Institute, around 0.6% of people will develop brain cancer or another cancer of the nervous system in their lifetime. However, the 5 year survival rate for those who do receive such a diagnosis is less than 33%. Largely, the poor outlook is due to the fact that brain tumors have very nonspecific symptoms, which makes them

Penile Enlargement and Complications
16/03/2019 Duración: 06minPenile enhancement surgery involves two procedures. Penile lengthening can be achieved by a small incision placed above the base of the penis. Ligaments anchoring the penile shaft to the pubic bone above are divided. The internal aspect of the penis is thus externalized. The skin is advanced as well producing an increase in length between 1 and 2 inches. Surgery lasting less than two hours is performed under sedation with local or full anesthesia. This procedure must be accompanied by the use of an external traction device to prevent scar tissue from retracting the externalized shaft. Men may return to work in as little as 2 days Researchers at the University of California in Irvine followed the cases of 11 men who had complications after penis enlargement surgery, also known as Penoplasty. Common complication noticed included: deformity, infection, gangrene, chronic ulceration, and a 'buried penis'.
