Early breast cancer detection can be achieved by enforcing the quality of mammography screening program. Hence, proper breast positioning is necessary. Systematic education of radiographers on mammographic positioning is a prerequisite for obtaining high-quality mammograms. find protocol The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of self-evaluation and education of radiographers involved in a breast cancer screening program.

The First School of Mammographic Positioning was organized in 2018at Clinical Hospital Center (CHC) Rijeka and 24 radiographers included in the screening program attended. Four months after the School, an analysis and comparison of randomly selected mammograms was performed. Retrospective analysis was performed, and two sets of collected data were gathered from the period before and after the education. The quality criteria for evaluation were set and the mammograms were independently analyzed by two radiographers with experience in mammography. The chi-square test was used to perform statistical analysis.

Results showed a statistically significant difference in the quality of mammograms before and after training for all criteria (p<0.05).

Self-evaluation and education of radiographers at the CHC Rijeka have led to a significant progress in image quality.

Results of this work imply that there is a strong need to formalize breast imaging education and the need to implement systematic education at the national level in Croatia.

However, the reality is that manageable and prevalent urologic disease processes can pose significant challenges for the wilderness medicine physician and warrant consideration. The purpose of this review is to identify and discuss the most commonly encountered urologic emergencies and diseases in the wilderness setting and to prepare the expedition medicine physician for management of these urgent conditions. A PubMed and Internet search for urologic emergencies and diseases in wilderness conditions was conducted. We also searched bibliographies for useful supplemental literature and material from leading mountain medicine and wilderness medicine societies as well as population-based studies for common urologic diseases. Urologic emergencies and diseases on expeditions and in wilderness conditions have been reported primarily with retrospective case series and case reports. The most commonly reported urologic emergencies in this setting include urologic trauma, renal calculi, and urinary retention. Parasitic infections in the urinary tract also have been reported to cause urinary symptoms and urinary retention in wilderness conditions. Although urologic diseases in such conditions are uncommon, significant morbidity and even potentially life-threatening sequelae to urologic emergencies were found to occur. Major genitourinary emergencies in expedition medicine are uncommon but involve both potentially manageable urgent conditions and serious life-threatening conditions best treated with urgent stabilization and occasionally medical evacuation. The opportunity exists for increased awareness for management strategies for urologic conditions in the often remote or extreme environments of an expedition.
A customized Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS)-style eye plaque may provide superior dosimetric coverage compared with standard models for certain intraocular tumor locations and shapes. This work provides a recipe for developing and validating such customized plaques.

The concept-into-clinical treatment process for a customized COMS-style eye plaque begins with a CAD model design that meets the specifications of the radiation oncologist and surgeon based on magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and clinical measurements, as well as a TG-43 hybrid heterogeneity-corrected dose prediction to model the dose distribution. Next, a 3D printed plastic prototype is created and reviewed. After design approval, a Modulay plaque is commercially fabricated. Quality assurance (QA) is subsequently performed to verify the physical measurements of the Modulay and Silastic and also includes dosimetric measurement of the calibration, depth dose, and dose profiles. Sterilization instructions are provided by the commerciad, and validated was presented along with a clinical example.
Customized eye plaques may be used to treat intraocular tumors that cannot be adequately managed with standard models. The procedure by which a customized COMS-style plaque may be designed, fabricated, and validated was presented along with a clinical example.
COVID-19 virus has caused the world's deadliest pandemic. Early April 2020, the Delhi Government made it compulsory for people to wear face masks while going outdoors to curb disease spread. Prolonged use of surgical masks during the pandemic has been reported to cause many adverse effects. Intermittent hypoxia has been shown to activate erythropoietin (EPO leading to increased hemoglobin mass.

To analyze whether face mask induced intermittent hypoxia has any effect on the hemoglobin levels of healthy blood donors.

We retrospectively analyzed donor data from 1st July 2019-31st December 2020 for hemoglobin distribution across hemoglobin ranges and donor deferral on basis of hemoglobin. Study population was divided into two cohorts Group 1- (1st July 2019-31 st March 2020) before implementation of mandatory face masks Group 2- (1st April 2020-31 st December 2020) after implementation of mandatory face masks RESULTS Mean Hb of blood donors in Group 2 (15.01 ± 1.1 g/dl) was higher than Group1 (14.49 ± 1.15 g/dl), (p < 0.0001). 47.1 % group2 donors had Hb of 16.1-18 g/dl compared to group1 (38.4 %). 52.9 % group 2 donors had Hb between 12.5-15 g/dl compared to 61.6 % Group 1 (p < 0.05). Deferral due to anemia was lesser in group 2 compared to group 1 (p < 0.00001). Group 2 had significantly higher deferral due to high Hb (>18 gm/dl) was than Group 1 (p = 0.0039).

This study including 19504 blood donors spanning over one and a half year shows that prolonged use of face mask by blood donors may lead to intermittent hypoxia and consequent increase in hemoglobin mass.
