Prospective external validation of IOTA methods for classifying adnexal masses and retrospective assessment of two-step strategy using benign descriptors and ADNEX: a Portuguese multicenter study
CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed a good to excellent performance of the IOTA methods in the studied Portuguese population, outperforming RMI. ADNEX was superior in accuracy, but interpretation of its ability to distinguish malignant subtypes was fundamentally limited not only by sample size but also by large differences in the prevalence of tumor subtypes. The IOTA MBDs have been shown to be reliable in identifying benign disease. The two-step strategy based on the application of MBDs, followed by the ADNEX model if MBDs are not applicable, has proven to be suitable for daily practice circumventing the need to use electroni...

Long-term results with biosynthetic absorbable P4HB mesh in ventral abdominal wall repair: a multicentre analysis
ConclusionsThe use of a P4HB bioresorbable mesh for the VHR with different degrees of contamination leads to favourable results overall, with an acceptable rate of hernia recurrence. The onlay location of the P4HB prosthesis is the main factor in recurrence in both elective and emergency settings. (Source: Hernia)
