Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions
(2007)Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ... -
Application of Radiomics and Decision Support Systems for Breast MR Differential Diagnosis
(2018)Over the years, MR systems have evolved from imaging modalities to advanced computational systems producing a variety of numerical parameters that can be used for the noninvasive preoperative assessment of breast pathology. ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type-2 and Epstein-Barr virus infection in a toddler: Art of facts or an artifact?
(2013)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause frequently asymptomatic (or anicteric) and self-limited hepatitis, while occasionally may result in considerable cholestatic hepatitis. Herein, we describe the case of a previously healthy ... -
Comparison of targeted and untargeted approaches in breath analysis for the discrimination of lung cancer from benign pulmonary diseases and healthy persons
(2021)The aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of targeted and untargeted breath analysis in the discrimination of lung cancer (Ca+) patients from healthy people (HC) and patients with benign pulmonary diseases ... -
Differential diagnosis of behavioral variant and semantic variant of frontotemporal dementia using visual rating scales

Expression of cytotoxic proteins in peripheral T-cell and natural killer-cell (NK) lymphomas: Association with extranodal site, NK or Tγδ phenotype, anaplastic morphology and CD30 expression
(2000)Most peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) express the αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) whereas rare PTCL express the γδ TCR. Most if not all γδ PTCL are extranodal lymphomas and among them, hepatosplenic γδ PTCL constitute a distinct ... -
Great trochanter bursitis vs sciatica, a diagnostic–anatomic trap: differential diagnosis and brief review of the literature
(2018)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to point out the difficulty of differentiating great trochanter bursitis (GTB) from sciatica and estimating the prevalence of GTΒ, in patients poorly diagnosed with sciatica in their ... -
