Background: Triple assessment of breast pathologies is a very important pathway to detect breast cancers earlier. Objectives: To ascertain the necessity of clinical-guided core biopsy (CGCB) or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for investigating clinically indeterminate breast lesions with no significant imaging findings. Patients and Methods:...

This was a reply ( letter to the editor) to a recent Lancet piece on racism. but this piece was not accepted by the Lancet editors but would like to share it with the RG community here.

Background and objective Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China in December 2019; it has then spread quickly and exponentially beyond the Chinese borders and is now regarded as a global pandemic. We aimed to evaluate the chest CT radiological characteristics and lesion distribution patterns i...

It’s all about my personal reflection on racism, bias and discrimination ( Rapid response)

Its a letter to the editor and published in the Radiology journal under the blog section. It emphasizes high d-dimer positivity not necessarily associated with PE ( on CTPA) patients with confirmed Covid-19.

It is a letter to the editor regarding high d-dimer Covid -19 patients may not necessarily have PE's. In our small cohort, all RT-PCR patients with considerably high d-dimer did not have PE at all

Its about Covid - 19 CTPA findings "lack of PE in Covid-19 patients with high D-Dimer test never been reported before in the English literature"

This is a letter to the editor type manuscript submitted to the Radiology journal under review, not published. It's all about and unpublished our data showed high D-dimer test results on Covid-19 RT-PCR test positivity without PE on CT pulmonary angiographic studies. Our results are different from the published research letter article ( they picked...

Current national guidance supports the use of either ultrasound-guided core biopsy (USCB) or ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (USFNAC) to detect preoperatively axillary lymph node involvement in early breast cancer but does not support one over the other. To compare the accuracy of USFNAC to USCB in diagnosing axillary lymph node m...
