TL;DR: Port portal venous system aneurysms were rare in the study group but occurred more frequently than previously thought, and a thrombophilic defect probably played a role in development of thromBosis in the portals.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE. The aims of this study were to present the prevalence, imaging and clinical findings, and possible causes of portal venous system aneurysms.MATERIALS AND METHODS. From 1998 to 2006, a total of 38 portal venous system aneurysms identified in 25 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The data of seven patients diagnosed using color Doppler sonography or CT before March 2004 were not consecutive, but the data recorded thereafter comprised the analysis of 4,186 consecutive patients who underwent routine abdominal MDCT. The patients were 14 men and 11 women (mean age ∓ SD, 53 ∓ 17 years).RESULTS. The prevalence of portal venous system aneurysm among 4,186 consecutive patients was 0.43%. There were no differences with respect to patient age, patient sex, and intrahepatic or extrahepatic location of aneurysm between those with and those without portal venous system aneurysm. Seven of the 25 patients with portal venous system aneurysm were symptomatic because of portal vein thrombosis, and six of them...

TL;DR: Outcome for posttransplant melanoma was similar to that of the general population for T1 and T2 tumors; but was significantly worse for T3 and T4 tumors (>2 mm thickness); all nine individuals with a pretransplant melanomas survived without disease recurrence following organ transplantation.

TL;DR: Results show that internet users possess adequate cyber threat awareness but apply only minimal protective measures usually relatively common and simple ones, and that higher cyber knowledge is connected to the level of cyber awareness, beyond the differences in respondent country or gender.
Abstract: Cyber-attacks represent a potential threat to information security. As rates of data usage and internet consumption continue to increase, cyber awareness turned to be increasingly urgent. This stud...

TL;DR: To assess the validity of acoustic rhinometry for measuring nasal valve area in human subjects, a large number of subjects were recruited for studies on sneezing and wheezing patterns.
Abstract: Objective To assess the validity of acoustic rhinometry for measuring nasal valve area in human subjects.
Study Design A comprehensive study that compared acoustic rhinometry data with computed tomography findings from scans obtained perpendicular to the acoustic axis and perpendicular to the floor of the nose.
Methods Fifty nasal passages of 25 healthy adults with no nasal disease were examined by acoustic rhinometry and computed tomography. In each case, the area of the nasal valve as measured by acoustic rhinometry was compared with the area calculations from computed tomography sections taken in two different coronal planes, one perpendicular to the acoustic axis and one perpendicular to the floor of the nose. Computed tomography slices perpendicular to the floor of the nose were obtained at two different locations, a specific distance from the tip of the nose and a specific distance from the anterior nasal spine.
Results There was a significant correlation between the nasal valve areas determined by acoustic rhinometry and computed tomography when imaging was obtained perpendicular to the acoustic axis. In contrast, when scanning was obtained perpendicular to the straight axis of the floor of the nose, the correlations between the acoustic rhinometry and computed tomography data were weak.
Conclusions When any type of imaging is used for comparison with nasal valve areas determined by acoustic rhinometry, the cross-sections should be perpendicular to the acoustic pathway. The results of the study show that acoustic rhinometry is a valuable method for measuring nasal valve area.
