Recommended approaches for screening and early detection of lung cancer in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region: a consensus statement
CONCLUSIONS: There is a great need for large-scale screening programs, preferably integrated with tobacco-control programs and awareness programs for physicians and patients, which may facilitate higher adherence to lung cancer screening and improve survival outcomes.PMID:38617789 | PMC:PMC11009596 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1568 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Diagnostic value of qualitative and quantitative enhancement parameters on contrast-enhanced mammography
CONCLUSION: Diagnostic accuracy of quantitative parameters was higher than that of qualitative parameters. High CNR, rim enhancement, and descending pattern were features commonly seen in malignant lesions, while low CNR, homogeneous enhancement, and ascending pattern were commonly seen in benign lesions.PMID:38619006 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2024.232472 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)

The Effect of Religious Attitude on Death Anxiety among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment: A Sample from Turkey
AbstractThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of religious attitude on death anxiety among patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. This cross-sectional study included 77 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The religious attitude scale (RAS) and the death anxiety scale (DAS) were used to collect data. The results revealed a moderately strong negative relationship between the mean RAS total score and the mean DAS total score (r = − 0.350,p < 0.05). Additionally, religious attitude accounted for 12% of the variance in death anxiety (R2 = 0.12). Accordingly, the levels of relig...
