Radiologic-pathologic correlation of prostatic cancer extracapsular extension (...

To perform such techniques, it is essential for the surgeon to know if the neurovascular bundle is involved. Despite being the gold-standard imaging method for Prostate Cancer (PCa) staging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) lacks high specificity for detecting extracapsular ex...
Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm Associated Colloid Carcinoma
Flor-de-Lima, B; Freitas, P; Couto, N; Castillo-Martin, M; Santiago, IColloid carcinomas are rare pancreatic tumors characterized by the presence of mucin pools with scarce malignant cells. Most of these neoplasms arise from intestinal-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). We report a case of a 77-year-old male patient who presented with weight loss, asthenia, lumbar pain and diabetes. Imaging studies revealed a mixed-type IPMN with high-risk features and a possi...
Artemether/Lumefantrine for the Treatment of P. malariae in a Patient on Hemodi...
Patrocínio-Jesus, R; Cunha, J; Trigo, D; Flor-de-Lima, B; Pacheco, PThe combination of artemether/lumefantrine is indicated for the treatment of acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. There have been no clinical trials to assess the efficacy of this medication in patients with renal impairment. While it is unlikely that artemether/lumefantrine would be removed during dialysis, clinical experience regarding drug use in this setting is limited. In this article, the au...
