TL;DR: A new prognostic score that is superior to the Sokal and Euro scores both in its prognostic ability and in its simplicity is described, which can be used to identify CML patients with significantly lower probabilities of responding to therapy and survival, thus alerting physicians to those patients who require closer observation and early intervention.

TL;DR: The presence of IPH on MRI strongly predicts cerebrovascular events and Homogenization of future studies is warranted to allow for sufficient assessment of level of evidence for intervention trials.

TL;DR: Dynamic CT-based stress myocardial perfusion imaging may allow detection of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize available evidence on the predictive value of CT severity parameters for short-term clinical outcome in pulmonary embolism and find that an abnormally increased RV/left ventricular diameter ratio measured on transverse sections was associated with an approximately 2.5-fold risk for all-cause mortality (pooled odds ratio [OR],2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8-3.5) and adverse outcome (OR, 2.6-3).

TL;DR: This work tackled the reassessment of prognosis under particular consideration of the probabilities of dying of CML and determined a new long-term survival score with three prognostic groups, which supports the prospective assessment of long- term antileukemic efficacy and risk-adapted treatment.
