Interspinous diameter seems to be an important factor affecting the difficulty of laparoscopic surgery in patients with mid-low rectal cancer, suggesting that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetry is helpful in gauging the technical difficulty of rectal surgery, a recent study has found.

Bilateral renal stones are a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and higher levels of kidney tubular injury markers, suggests a study.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy misses of clinically significant cancers seldom occur, but such rare cases are mostly caused by errors in lesion targeting, which underscores the importance of accurate coregistration and targeting when using software-based fusion platforms, according to a study. Moreover, some patients harbor MRI-invisible lesions, which cannot be targeted by MRI platforms.

Dietary intake of the common food additive nitrates and nitrites, trans fatty acids, and artificial sweeteners was associated with an increased risk of multiple cancers, according to data from the large NutriNet-Santé cohort presented at SABCS 2021.
