The effect of isolated tumor cells on adjuvant treatment decisions for patients with endometrial cancer: A retrospective case series Open
Although patients with ITCs were more likely to receive adjuvant treatment, this was accounted for by other clinical and histological factors. Clinicians were likely to make decisions based on established risk factors, and more data are ne…

Expression of human CD47 in pig glomeruli prevents proteinuria and prolongs graft survival following pig‐to‐baboon xenotransplantation Open
Background Nephrotic syndrome is a common complication of pig‐to‐baboon kidney xenotransplantation (KXTx) that adversely affects outcomes. We have reported that upregulation of CD80 and down‐regulation of SMPDL‐3b in glomeruli have an impo…

Preoperative MRI and LDH in women undergoing intra-abdominal surgery for fibroids: Effect on surgical route Open
Introduction Our institution implemented a preoperative protocol to identify high-risk cases for which power morcellation should be avoided. Material and methods In this retrospective cohort study, an institutional protocol requiring preop…

Antibody reactivity with new antigens revealed in multi‐transgenic triple knockout pigs may cause early loss of pig kidneys in baboons Open
Background Recent advances in gene editing technology have enabled the production of multi‐knockout (KO) and transgenic pigs in order to overcome immunologic barriers in xenotransplantation (XTx). However, the genetic manipulations require…

New sonographic marker of borderline ovarian tumor: microcystic pattern of papillae and solid components Open
Objective To describe and evaluate the utility of a new sonographic microcystic pattern, which is typical of borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) papillary projections, solid component(s) and/or septa, as a new ultrasound marker that is capable …

OC04.03: Ultrasound and histopathologic correlation of ovarian cystadenofibromas: the pathognomonic “shadow sign” Open
To delineate the histopathologic basis of the typical sonographic features of cystadenofibromas with their pathognomonic “shadow sign”. A description of this benign entity will allow clinical providers to defer surgical removal in appropri…

OC04.07: Microcysts: a new ultrasound marker of borderline ovarian tumours of low malignant potential Open
To describe a hitherto unreported, undefined ultrasound (US) marker of borderline ovarian tumours of low malignant potential (BOTLMP): the microcystic tissue texture in their solid component or papillae. Our US database identified 63 ovari…
