Radiologic characterization of adrenal masses: the role of computed tomography--derived attenuation values.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Recent studies suggest that low computed tomography (CT) attenuation values can be used to differentiate benign adrenal adenomas from non-adenomas. We examined the utility of non-enhanced CT attenuation values of

  • Extended versus conventional thromboprophylaxis after major abdominal and pelvic surgery: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Venous thromboembolism, presenting as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, can be associated with considerable morbidity after major abdominal and pelvic surgery. Perioperative thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin is well established, but the duration of treatment remains debated. We a...
