Imaging of salivary gland cancers derived from a sublingual gland herniated into the submandibular space: a report of three cases
AbstractSublingual gland herniation into the submandibular space through a mylohyoid muscle defect is a common anatomical variation; however, salivary gland cancers that arise from a herniated sublingual gland have not been described yet. Here, we report three patients with salivary gland cancers originating from a herniated sublingual gland. All tumors were detected as palpable submandibular masses, located anterior to the submandibular gland, medial to the mandible, and lateral to the mylohyoid muscle, with contact with the sublingual gland through a mylohyoid muscle defect. Intraoperative findings confirmed that the mas...

Comments on “Radiotherapy alone versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with stage II and T3N0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma with adverse features: A propensity score-matched cohort study”
We read the article entitled “Radiotherapy alone versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with stage II and T3N0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma with adverse features: A propensity score-matched cohort study” by Zhang et al [1] with great interest. The findings of the study indicated that adding concurrent chemotherapy to r adiotherapy did not contribute to improved survival rates in patients with stage II and T3N0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with adverse factors. This is a substantial study as it comprehensively evaluates this controversial issue with a large number of patients and propensity score-matching analysi...

Occupational balance and associated factors among students during higher education within healthcare and social work in Sweden: a multicentre repeated cross-sectional study
Conclusions
The association between higher levels of OBQ11 and lower levels of health and well-being is remarkable. There is a need for more research on this contradiction and what it means for students’ health and well-being in the long run. (Source: BMJ Open)

Protocol for the development of a core outcome set and reporting guidelines for locoregional treatment in neoadjuvant systemic breast cancer treatment trials: the PRECEDENT project
Introduction
Neoadjuvant systemic anticancer therapy (neoSACT) is increasingly used in the treatment of early breast cancer. Response to therapy is prognostic and allows locoregional and adjuvant systemic treatments to be tailored to minimise morbidity and optimise oncological outcomes and quality of life. Accurate information about locoregional treatments following neoSACT is vital to allow the translation of downstaging benefits into practice and facilitate meaningful interpretation of oncological outcomes, particularly locoregional recurrence. Reporting of locoregional treatments in neoSACT studies, however, is currentl...

Thyroid abnormalities identified on CT screening for lung cancer
Because incidental thyroid nodules (ITNs) are common extrapulmonary findings in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans for lung cancer screening, we aimed to investigate the frequency of ITNs on LDCT scans separately on baseline and annual repeat scans, the frequency of malignancy among the ITNs, and any association with demographic, clinical, CT characteristics.

Radiation-associated changes in saliva composition of head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review
Head and neck squamous cell cancer accounts for approximately 4.5% of the newly diagnosed malignancies worldwide, with over 878,000 new cases in 2020 (including lip cancer) [1]. The incidence is rising, especially due to HPV associated head and neck cancer and is expected to increase by 30% until 2030 [2]. Compared to non-HPV related head and neck cancer, often induced by heavy alcohol consumption and/or smoking, the HPV-positive patients usually have a good prognosis after therapy, even with advanced stages of disease at diagnosis.

Radiofrequency Ablation of Parathyroid Adenoma: Results of a Retrospective Analysis of 60 Patients
ConclusionOur study showed that RFA with the alternative technique, called “Nik jet dissection” is a safe and effective modality in management of PTA. Therefore, we suggest expanding the indications for RFA in PTA management, especially when surgery is not feasible.Level of EvidenceLevel 3, Local non-random sample.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Do Balloon Catheters have a Different Radial Force Along Their Longitudinal Axis?
ConclusionThe radial force is greater at both ends of the balloon than at the central portion, especially at the distal end. Dilation using the distal end of the balloon catheter is a practical method that can be applied in clinical practice without additional devices when encountering resistant stenosis, especially with semi-compliant balloons.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Establishing robust governance of clinical artificial intelligence software – Why radiologists should lead
The longstanding research and development of artificial intelligence (AI) within the field of Diagnostic Radiology and the larger medical universe has begun to translate into clinically useful tools. As of this publication, there are over 500 AI based radiology applications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial sale in the United States.1,2 Additional AI based non-clinical applications are marketed to improve workflow, patient follow-up, and other noninterpretable or nonpatient-facing tasks.

Real-Time Optimal Synthetic Inversion Recovery Image Selection (RT-OSIRIS) for Deep Brain Stimulation Targeting
AbstractDeep brain stimulation (DBS) is a method of electrical neuromodulation used to treat a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions including essential tremor, Parkinson ’s disease, epilepsy, and obsessive–compulsive disorder. The procedure requires precise placement of electrodes such that the electrical contacts lie within or in close proximity to specific target nuclei and tracts located deep within the brain. DBS electrode trajectory planning has become incr easingly dependent on direct targeting with the need for precise visualization of targets. MRI is the primary tool for direct visualization, and this has led...
