(2018-12)
Introduction Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a patient-reported outcome that addresses patients' perceptions of symptoms across physical, emotional, cognitive and social domains. As HRQoL is currently rarely ...
Systematic review of therapeutic nipple-sparing <i>versus</i> skin-sparing mastectomy.
(2019-04)
Background The use of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is increasing, despite unproven oncological safety in the therapeutic setting. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the safety and efficacy of NSM compared ...
Fever of Unknown Origin: the Value of FDG-PET/CT.
(2018-03)
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is commonly defined as fever higher than 38.3°C on several occasions during at least 3 weeks with uncertain diagnosis after a number of obligatory investigations. The differential diagnosis ...
