- Abstract
Background: surgery to treat breast cancer (BC) is associated with upper limb (UL) lymphedema, which in some cases may become permanent. It is uncertain whether lymphedema results from injury to either lymphatic or blood vessels, or to both. Methods and Results: a cohort of 200 BC patients was examined 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Axillary and brachial blood vessels were evaluated using Doppler Ultrasound, and patients had their UL examined for lymphedema at each visit. Patients who developed lymphedema 24 months after surgery presented with higher mean flow velocity (MFV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV) in both axillary (MFV = 13.57 vs. 10.7 cm/s, p = 0.02; EDV = 5.62 vs. 3.47 cm/s; p = 0.004) and brachial (MFV = 11.44 vs. 8.74 cm/s; p = 0.03; EDV = 5.08 vs. 3.04; p = 0.04) arteries as early as 1 month after surgery. Similar associations were found 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Early abnormalities of the resistive and pulsatility indexes were also significantly associated with persistent lymphedema. EDV measured 1 month after surgery had the best performance to detect patients who will later develop long-term lymphedema, (sensitivity = 73.7%; specificity = 71.2%; negative predictive value = 57.6%). Conclusion: vascular abnormalities precede and are possible causal factors for UL lymphedema in BC patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Orientador: Emilio Francisco Marussi Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Introdução: a avaliação clínica tem baixo desempenho na previsão do envolvimento linfonodal em mulheres com câncer da mama. Assim, a dissecção axilar é necessária para o estadiamento patológico. A ultra-sonografia tem sensibilidade superior à mamografia e ao exame físico na avaliação linfonodal axilar. Objetivos: Avaliar o desempenho de diversas características ultra-sonográficas morfológicas (12) e Doppler (7) na detecção de metástases linfonodais em mulheres com câncer de mama. Métodos: Foram incluídas 181 axilas, de 179 mulheres, entre janeiro e dezembro de 2004. Os exames ultra-sonográficos foram realizados com transdutor linear em tempo real (TOSHIBA- Power Vision-6000 - modelo SSA-370A). Para o estudo de parâmetros morfológicos foram utilizadas freqüências entre 7,5 e 12 megahertz (Mhz). Para os parâmetros Doppler foi utilizada a freqüência de 5Mhz. Subseqüentemente, as pacientes foram submetidas à axilectomia dos níveis I, II e III (158) ou à técnica do linfonodo sentinela (23). Para a análise dos dados utilizaram-se estatística descritiva e árvore de decisão. Resultados: Ao exame ultra-sonográfico foi identificado pelo menos um linfonodo axilar em 173 (96%) exames. O exame histológico detectou metástase linfonodal em 87 mulheres (48%). As melhores sensibilidades dos critérios morfológicos foram encontradas com o volume do linfonodo (62%), diâmetro antero-posterior (62%) e local do centro ecogênico (56%). Embora a especificidade da invasão da gordura adjacente (100%), regularidade das margens (92%) e da ecotextura do parênquima (99%) tenham sido elevadas, a sensibilidade destes parâmetros foi muito baixa. Nenhum critério do Doppler alcançou 50% de sensibilidade. A árvore de decisão selecionou a localização do centro ecogênico, ecotextura do parênquima e regularidade das margens como melhor associação de parâmetros. Conclusão: O desempenho da ultra-sonografia na detecção de metástases nos linfonodos axilares foi desapontador na detecção de metástases linfonodais axilares em mulheres com câncer de mama Abstract: Introduction: The clinical evaluation is not accurate to predict the lymph node involvement in woman with breast cancer. Therefore, the axillary dissection is necessary to the pathological stagement. The ultrasonography is more sensitive than palpation and mammography in the detection of metastatic lymph nodes. Objective: To evaluate the role of ultrasonographic features, morphologic (12) and Doppler (7), in the detection of lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients. Methods: 181 axillas from 179 women were included. The ultrasonographic examinations were performed with real-time linear probe (TOSHIBA- Power Vision-6000 - model SSA-370A). Morphologic parameters were studied with a frequency of 7.5-12 Mega-hertz (Mhz). To Doppler parameters, a frequency of 5Mhz was used. Subsequently, the women were submitted to axillary dissection of levels I, II and III (158) or to the sentinel lymph node technique (23). Descriptive statistics and tecision tree were used to analyze the data. Results: At least one lymph node was detected in 173 (96%) by ultasonographic exams. Histologic examination detected lymph node metastases in 87 women (48%). The best sensitivity among the morphologic features were found with the volume (62%), the antero-posterior diameter (62%) and fatty hilum placement (56%). Beside the specificity of the extra capsular invasion (100%), border regularity (92%) and cortex echogenicity (99%) were high, the sensitivity of these features were to low. None of the Doppler features reached 50% of sensitivity. The decision tree test selected the ultrasonographic features: fatty hilum placement, border regularity and cortex echogenicity as the best parameters association. Conclusion: The role of axillary ultrasonography in the detection of axillary lymph node metastases in woman with breast cancer was disappointing Mestrado Tocoginecologia Mestre em Tocoginecologia

Orientador: Sophie Françoise Mauricette Derchain Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar a importância da ultrassonografia na predição de malignidade e sua correlação com os fenótipos Luminal, Her 2 overexpression e Triplo Negativo nos nódulos de mama classificados na categoria BI-RADS 'MARCA REGISTRADA' US 4. Objetivo Artigo 1: avaliar se a medida ultrassonográfica do diâmetro dos cistos pode contribuir com a predição de malignidade em um tipo específico de nódulos complexos classificados na categoria BI-RADS 'MARCA REGISTRADA' -US 4. Objetivo Artigo 2: avaliar as características ultrassonográficas de nódulos mamários classificados na categoria BI-RADS 'MARCA REGISTRADA' -US 4 associadas aos fenótipos Luminal, HER2 overexpression e Triplo Negativo. Sujeitos e métodos: No primeiro artigo foram incluídos em um estudo de corte transversal 48 casos de nódulos com características ultrassonográficas sugestivas de benignidade, entretanto apresentando no seu interior pelo menos um componente cístico. Todos os nódulos foram biopsiados (25 biópsias de fragmento; 23 biópsias de fragmento seguidas de biópsia excisional). O exame anatomopatológico classificou 12/48 (25%) casos como malignos. O maior diâmetro do nódulo, o maior diâmetro do cisto e o padrão de vascularização ao Doppler foram avaliados na predição de malignidade. No segundo artigo, foram selecionados em um estudo de corte transversal 327 nódulos classificados nas categorias BI-RADS 'MARCA REGISTRADA' -US 4a, 4b e 4c. Todos os nódulos foram biopsiados. Os resultados anatomopatológicos foram classificados em benigno 195 (60%) ou maligno 132 (40%). Os nódulos malignos foram então agrupados em três subtipos fenotípicos: Luminal, Her 2 overexpression e Triplo Negativo. As características ultrassonográficas dos nódulos foram comparadas com a categorização fenotípica. Resultados: no primeiro artigo, o padrão da vascularização[presente na lesão (p=1) ou presente imediatamente adjacente à lesão (p=0,46)] não esteve relacionado com a malignidade, enquanto os maiores diâmetros do nódulo e do cisto apresentaram uma relação significativa com a malignidade (p=0,02 e p

Objetivo: confirmar la precisión del prueba de pH en identificar el posicionamiento de la sonda gástrica en recién nacidos. Método: estudio de prueba diagnóstico, doble ciego, realizado con 162 recién nacidos, internados en unidad neonatal de terapia intensiva y unidad de cuidados intermedios. Los sujetos fueron sometidos a sondaje gástrico, en seguida se realizó el prueba de pH con tira reactivas, el que fue analizado por enfermero y examen radiológico por especialista. Se manutuvo la ceguera entre los profesionales con relación al resultado de las pruebas. Se realizó un análisis de precisión diagnóstica del prueba de pH, en relación al examen radiológico. Resultados: la muestra estuvo compuesta 56,17% por niños, con media de peso de nacimiento de 1.886,79g (de 743,41), 32,92 (de 2,99) semanas de edad gestacional y la media del pH fue 3,36 (de 1,27). Considerando el punto de corte de pH≤5,5, la sensibilidad fue 96,25%, especificidad 50%, valor predictivo positivo 99,35% y valor predictivo negativo 14,29%. Conclusión: el prueba de pH realizado con tiras reactivas es sensible para identificar el posicionamiento correcto de la sonda gástrica, de ese modo puede ser utilizado como técnica adyuvante en la evaluación del posicionamiento de la sonda gástrica. En la interpretación de los resultados, un pH ≤5,5 indica posicionamiento correcto y valores >5,5 necesitan de confirmación radiológica. Objetivo: confirmar a acurácia do teste de pH em identificar o posicionamento da sonda gástrica em recém-nascidos. Método: estudo de teste diagnóstico, duplo cego realizado com 162 recém-nascidos internados em unidade neonatal de terapia intensiva e unidade de cuidados intermediários. Os sujeitos foram submetidos à sondagem gástrica, em seguida realizado teste de pH com tira reagentes, que foi analisado por um enfermeiro, e exame radiológico, analisado por radiologista. Foi mantido o cegamento entre os profissionais com relação ao resultado dos testes. Realizada análise de acurácia diagnóstica do teste de pH em relação ao exame radiológico. Resultados: a amostra foi composta 56,17% por meninos, com média de peso de nascimento de 1.886,79g (dp 743,41), 32,92 (dp 2,99) semanas de idade gestacional e a média do pH foi 3,36 (dp 1,27). Considerando o ponto de corte de pH≤5,5, a sensibilidade foi 96,25%, especificidade 50%, valor preditivo positivo 99,35% e valor preditivo negativo 14,29%. Conclusão: o teste de pH realizado com tiras reagentes é sensível para identificar o posicionamento correto da sonda gástrica, assim pode ser utilizado como técnica adjuvante na avaliação do posicionamento da sonda gástrica. Na interpretação dos resultados, pH ≤5,5 indica posicionamento correto e valores >5,5 necessitam de confirmação radiológica. Objective: to confirm the accuracy of the pH test in identifying the placement of the gastric tube in newborns. Method: double-blind, diagnostic test study conducted with 162 newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit and an intermediate care unit. The subjects were submitted to enteral intubation, followed by pH test with reagent strip, which was analyzed by a nurse, and radiological examination, analyzed by radiologist. Blinding was kept among professionals regarding test results. Diagnostic accuracy analysis of the pH test in relation to the radiological exam was performed. Results: the sample consisted of 56.17% boys, with average birth weight of 1,886.79g (SD 743,41), 32.92 (SD 2.99) weeks of gestational age and the mean pH was 3.36 (SD 1.27). Considering the cutoff point of pH≤5.5, the sensitivity was 96.25%, specificity 50%, positive predictive value 99.35% and negative predictive value 14.29%. Conclusion: The pH test performed with reagent strips is sensitive to identify the correct placement of the gastric tube, so it can be used as an adjuvant technique in the evaluation of the gastric tube placement. In interpreting the results, pH ≤5.5 points to correct placement and values > 5.5 require radiological confirmation.

Agradecimentos: This study was supported by the Research Support Foundation of the State of Sao Paulo - Fapesp (number 2012/15059-8) and by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq) Abstract: To evaluate the performance of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) ADNEX model in the preoperative discrimination between benign ovarian (including tubal and para-ovarian) tumors, borderline ovarian tumors (BOT), Stage I ovarian cancer (OC), Stage II-IVOC and ovarian metastasis in a gynecological oncology center in Brazil. This was a diagnostic accuracy study including 131 women with an adnexal mass invited to participate between February 2014 and November 2015. Before surgery, pelvic ultrasound examination was performed and serum levels of tumor marker CA 125 were measured in all women. Adnexal masses were classified according to the IOTA ADNEX model. Histopathological diagnosis was the gold standard. Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the model to classify tumors into different histological types. Of 131 women, 63 (48.1%) had a benign ovarian tumor, 16 (12.2%) had a BOT, 17 (13.0%) had Stage I OC, 24 (18.3%) had Stage II-IV OC and 11 (8.4%) had ovarian metastasis. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.88-0.97) for the basic discrimination between benign vs malignant tumors using the IOTA ADNEX model. Performance was high for the discrimination between benign vs Stage II-IV OC, BOT vs Stage II-IV OC and Stage I OC vs Stage II-IV OC, with AUCs of 0.99, 0.97 and 0.94, respectively. Performance was poor for the differentiation between BOT vs Stage I OC and between Stage I OC vs ovarian metastasis with AUCs of 0.64. The majority of adnexal masses in our study were classified correctly using the IOTA ADNEX model. On the basis of our findings, we would expect the model to aid in the management of women with an adnexal mass presenting to a gynecological oncology center FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQ Fechado

Aim: To investigate whether pelvic floor muscle (PFM) morphological changes obtained through four‐dimensional translabial ultrasound (4D TLUS) correlate with a PFM contraction as evaluated by digital palpation and PFM electromyographic activity evaluated by surface electromyography (sEMG). The secondary objective was to investigate which ultrasound parameter is more strongly associated with digital palpation. Methods: This cross‐sectional study included 210 women and their PFMs were evaluated by digital palpation (graded according to the Modified Oxford Scale), sEMG and 4D TLUS. Offline analysis of ultrasound volume datasets was performed for measuring the change in levator plate angle, bladder neck elevation, hiatal area narrowing, puborectalis strain, and puborectalis muscle thickness at rest and during PFM contraction. Statistical analysis included Kruskal‐Wallis, Dunn, and Spearman's tests in addition to univariate and multivariate logistic regression, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: A weak but significant correlation between the change in levator plate angle and sEMG (P =.04; r = 0.14) was found. All 4D TLUS measurements, except the puborectalis muscle thickness, significantly correlated with digital palpation (P <.0001); with the puborectalis strain and the change in levator plate angle having the strongest combined parameters associated with digital palpation (R2 = 21.77%), despite the low coefficient of determination. Conclusion: We found that 4D TLUS significantly correlates with digital palpation and sEMG, being the change in the levator plate angle the parameter that best correlates with both methods. While digital palpation is essential during a PFM functional assessment, 4D TLUS is recommended as a beneficial noninvasive clinical tool for a more in‐depth evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance and the clinical benefit of Shear-Wave Elastography - Virtual Touch™ Imaging Quantification (SWE-VTIQ) as a complement to ultrasonography (US).Methods: From October 2016 through Jun 2017, B-mode US and SWE-VTIQ were prospectively performed in 396 breast masses in 357 women who consented to undergo this study. Quantitative elastography values were recorded: Vmax (maximum elasticity), Vmean (median elasticity), Vratio(max) (ratio of Vmax and surrounding parenchyma) and Vratio(mean) (ratio of Vmean and surrounding parenchyma). The histopathology of the lesions was considered the reference standard for benign or malignant definition. The performance of the four elastographic parameters was evaluated trough sensitivity, specificity and AUC. The parameter with the best performance was tested in six different diagnostic approaches defined based on clinical practice.Results: Of the 396 masses, 122 (30.8%) were benign and 274 (69.2%) were malignant. All SWE parameters were significantly higher in malignant masses (all p < 0.01). Vmax and Vratio(max) performed significantly better then Vratio(mean) (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). SWE-VTIQ improved US specificity in all diagnostic approaches, except when applied to BI-RADS 3 lesions. SWE-VTIQ reduced the false positive rate in 25% if applied only to BI-RADS 4A masses, maintaining a high sensitivity (98.9%, 95% confidence interval 97.1-100%) and a negative predictive value of 95.5%. When applied to BI-RADS 4A and 4B masses, SWE-VTIQ reduced the false positive rate in 54.4%. However, 13 malignant cases would be missed in this approach (4.7% of all malignant cases).Conclusions: SWE-VTIQ increases US specificity when applied to BI-RADS 4 A lesions, significantly reducing unnecessary interventions and preserving the diagnosis of malignant lesions. When applied also to BI-RADS® 4B lesions, SWE-VTIQ increases the number of false negative cases, which should be evaluated with caution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Palpable mass is a common complaint presented to the breast surgeon. It is very uncommon for patients to report breast mass associated with palpable masses in other superficial structures. When these masses are related to systemic granulomatous diseases, the diagnosis and initiation of specific therapy can be challenging. The purpose of this paper is to report a case initially assessed by the breast surgeon and ultimately diagnosed as granulomatous variant of T-cell lymphoma, and discuss the main systemic granulomatous diseases associated with palpable masses involving the breast Aberto

Objectives: To prospectively investigate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical consequences of power Doppler morphologic criteria and shear wave elastography (SWE) as complementary imaging methods for evaluation of suspected local breast cancer recurrence in the ipsilateral breast or chest wall. Methods: Thirty‐two breast masses with a suspicion of local breast cancer recurrence on B‐mode ultrasonography underwent complementary power Doppler and SWE evaluations. Power Doppler morphologic criteria were classified as avascular, hypovascular, or hypervascular. Shear wave elastography was classified according to a 5‐point scale (SWE score) and SWE maximum elasticity. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed by the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve. A decision curve analysis assessed clinical consequences of each method. The reference standard for diagnosis was defined as core needle or excisional biopsy. Results: Histopathologic examinations revealed 9 (28.2%) benign and 23 (71.8%) malignant cases. Power Doppler ultrasonography (US) had sensitivity of 34.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.6%–62.9%) and specificity of 45.4% (95% CI, 19.3%–71.5%). The SWE score (≥3) had sensitivity of 87.0% (95% CI, 66.4%–97.2%) and specificity of 44.4% (95% CI, 13.7%–78.8%). The SWE maximum elasticity (velocity > 6.5cm/s) had sensitivity of 87% (95% CI, 66.4%–97.2%) and specificity of 77.8% (95% CI, 40.0% to 97.2%). The areas under the curves for the SWE score and SWE maximum elasticity were 0.71 (95% CI, 0.53–0.87) and 0.82 (95% CI, 0.64–0.93), respectively (P = .32). Conclusions: Power Doppler US is unsuitable for discrimination between local breast cancer recurrence and fibrosis. Although the SWE score and SWE maximum elasticity can make this discrimination, the use of these methods to determine biopsy may lead to poorer clinical outcomes than the current practice of performing biopsies of all suspicious masses.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mammographic breast density in asymptomatic menopausal women in correlation with clinical and sonographic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mammograms and clinical and sonographic findings of 238 asymptomatic patients were retrospectively reviewed in the period from February/2022 to June/2006. The following variables were analyzed: mammographic density patterns, sonographic findings, patients' age, parity, body mass index and use of hormone replacement therapy. RESULTS: Age, parity and body mass index showed a negative correlation with breast density pattern, while use of hormone replacement therapy showed a positive correlation. Supplementary breast ultrasonography was performed in 103 (43.2%) patients. Alterations which could not be visualized at mammography were found in 34 (33%) of them, most frequently in women with breast density patterns 3 and 4. CONCLUSION: The authors concluded that breast density patterns were influenced by age, parity, body mass index and time of hormone replacement therapy. Despite not having found any malignant abnormality in the studied cases, the authors have observed a predominance of benign sonographic abnormalities in women with high breast density patterns and without mammographic abnormalities, proving the relevance of supplementary ultrasonography to identify breast lesions in such patients. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a densidade mamográfica de mulheres menopausadas, assintomáticas, correlacionando com dados clínicos e ultrassonográficos. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram analisados, retrospectivamente, as mamografias e os dados clínicos e ultrassonográficos de 238 pacientes assintomáticas, no período entre fevereiro de 2002 e junho de 2006. As variáveis analisadas foram: padrões de densidade mamográfica, achados ultrassonográficos, idade, paridade, índice de massa corporal e uso de terapia de reposição hormonal. RESULTADOS: Idade, paridade e índice de massa corporal apresentaram relação inversa com os padrões de densidade mamográfica, enquanto o uso de terapia de reposição hormonal apresentou relação direta. Foram realizados exames ultrassonográficos complementares em 103 (43,2%) pacientes, sendo constatadas alterações em 34 (33%) delas. Os nódulos ultrassonográficos foram mais frequentes nas mulheres com padrões mamários 3 e 4 e sem expressão mamográfica. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que os padrões mamográficos de densidade foram influenciados pela idade, índice de massa corporal, paridade e tempo de uso de terapia de reposição hormonal. Apesar de não termos encontrado alterações malignas nos casos estudados, evidenciamos alterações ultrassonográficas benignas nas mulheres com padrões mamários de alta densidade e que apresentaram mamografias sem alterações, demonstrando a importância da ultrassonografia complementar para a detecção de lesões mamárias nessas pacientes.

Objectives: To evaluate an objective method for ultrasonographic (US) subcategorization of BI-RADS®-US 4 breast masses based on clear and simple rules in order for woman to benefit from a more complete and homogeneous breast mass analysis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we selected 330 women, with 339 US breast masses, classified as BI-RADS®-US 4. Three physicians experienced in breast imaging independently reviewed all US images, assessing mass shape, margins, orientation, echo texture and vascularity. These experts further subdivided the masses into subcategories 4a, 4b and 4c, according to simple US rules. Inter-observer agreement was calculated for US features categories and for final subcategory assessment. We also estimated the positive predictive value (PPV) for BI-RADS®-US subcategories 4a, 4b and 4c assigned by each of the three observers. Results: Pathological examination of all masses confirmed 144 (42%) malignant and 195 (58%) benign tumors. Moderate agreement was obtained for mass shape, margins, vascularity and for final BI-RADS®-US 4 subcategory. Substantial agreement was obtained for the description of mass orientation and echo texture. The PPV for subcategories 4a, 4b and 4c were, 17%, 45% and 85%, respectively, for the first observer and 20%, 38% and 79% and 17%, 40% and 85% for the other two observers. Conclusion: Standardization of a US subcategorization of BI-RADS®-US 4 breast masses seems to be feasible, with substantial inter-observer agreement and progressive increase in the PPV in the subcategories 4a, 4b and 4c, provided that clear and simple classification rules are defined.

Orientadores: Luís Otávio Zanatta Sarian, Rodrigo Menezes Jales Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre parâmetros da ultrassonografia e mamografia de lesões mamárias malignas e a resposta patológica à quimioterapia neoadjuvante. Sujeitos e Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, com coleta prospectiva e consecutiva dos dados. Todos os exames ultrassonográficos e mamográficos foram realizados no serviço de radiologia do Hospital da Mulher "Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti ¿ CAISM ¿ Unicamp". Foram avaliadas um total de 35 variáveis ultrassonográficas (18 modo B, 12 Doppler e 5 ESW) e 16 variáveis mamográficas. A resposta à quimioterapia neoadjuvante foi categorizada como Residual Cancer Burden: (RCB)-0 (resposta patológica completa), RCB-I (doença residual mínima), RCB-II (doença residual moderada), ou RCB-III (doença residual extensa ou doença inoperável ou em progressão). As principais variáveis contínuas (clínica, tipos moleculares e parâmetros ultrassonográficas e mamográficos) foram resumidas por meio de média e desvio padrão. A relação dessas variáveis com as categorias RCB-0 ou RCB-3 foi avaliada através do teste Kruskal-Wallis e de curvas ROC. As principais variáveis categóricas (estadiamento clínico e parâmetros ultrassonográficos e mamográficos) foram resumidas pela suas frequências. As associações univariadas dessas variáveis com os desfechos RCM-0 e RCB-3 foram avaliadas pelo teste qui quadrado de Pearson e pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis. A avaliação do achado mamográfico de calcificações como preditor de carcinoma in situ na peça cirúrgica foi avaliada pelo teste qui quadrado de Pearson. Odds ratios, intervalos de confiança de 95% e significância estatística foram calculados por regressão logística binária para as variáveis ultrassonogrpaficas e mamográficas relacionadas significativamente na análise univariada com os desfechos RCM-0 ou RCB-3. Por fim, criamos um modelo de classificação baseado em inductive decision tree para a criação de uma regra para a predição do RCB-III. P < 0,05 foi considerado significativo. Resultados: As variáveis de imagem preditoras da RCB-0 na análise univariada foram a ecotextura hiperecoica (p=0,023); a margem indistinta pela ultrassonografia (p=0,037); o reforço acústico posterior (p=0,036); a densidade mamográfica categoria B (p=0,044); e a margem obscurecida na mamografia (p=0,05). As variáveis de imagem preditoras do RCB 3 foram a sombra acústica posterior (0,038), o mapa de cores maior que o nódulo na elastografia shear wave (p=0,036); o achado de nódulo na mamografia (p=0,002); o achado de assimetria focal na mamografia (p=0,026); e a margem indistinta na mamografia (p=0,05). As únicas relações que se mantiveram estatisticamente significativas na análise multivariada foram o mapa de cores maior que o nódulo na elastografia shear wave como preditor do RCB-3 (Odds-Ratio=0,3 (IC 95%=0,1-0,8); p=0,022) e a margem indistinta na mamografia como preditora do RCB-3 (Odds-Ratio=2,5 (IC 95%=1,03-6,2); p=0,043). A regra para a predição do RCB-III criada pelo algoritmo Inductive Decision Tree, utilizou como atributos as variáveis mapa de cores na ESW e o tipo molecular Conclusão: Nosso estudo reforça a teoria de que há parâmetros da ultrassonografia e da mamografia de nódulos mamários preditoras da eventual resposta à quimioterapia neoadjuvante. Na nossa amostra, a avaliação de nódulos mamários malignos por elastografia shear wave beneficiaria a indicação da quimioterapia neoadjuvante. Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the association between ultrasound and mammography parameters of malignant breast lesions and the pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Subjects and Methods: Cross-sectional study, with prospective and consecutive data collection. All ultrasound and mammographic examinations were performed at the radiology service of Hospital da Mulher "Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti - CAISM - Unicamp ". A total of 35 ultrasound variables (18 mode B, 12 Doppler and 5 ESW) and 16 mammographic variables were evaluated. The response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was categorized as Residual Cancer Burden: (RCB) -0 (complete pathological response), RCB-I (minimal residual disease), RCB-II (moderate residual disease), or RCB-III (extensive or inoperable or progressing disease). The main continuous variables (clinical, molecular type, ultrasonographic and mammographic parameters) were summarized by means and standard deviations. The relationship of these variables with the categories RCB-0 or RCB-3 was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and ROC curves. The main categorical variables (clinical staging and ultrasonographic and mammographic parameters) were summarized by their frequencies. The univariate associations of these variables with the outcomes RCM-0 and RCB-3 were assessed using Pearson's chi-square test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The evaluation of the mammographic finding of calcifications as a predictor of carcinoma in situ in the surgical specimen was assessed by Pearson's chi-square test. Odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals and statistical significance were calculated by binary logistic regression for the sonographic and mammographic variables related significantly in the univariate analysis with the RCM-0 or RCB-3 outcomes. We created a classification model based on inductive decision tree to create a rule for the prediction of RCB-III. P

Magnetic resonance imaging ,Endometriosis ,Endometriose ,Imagem de ressonância magnética - Abstract
Orientador: Rodrigo Menezes Jales Dissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Introdução: Endometriose é uma doença inflamatória que afeta cerca de 10% das mulheres em idade reprodutiva. A Ressonância Magnética é cada vez mais importante nessas pacientes, principalmente considerando os sucessivos avanços técnicos que possibilitam uma avaliação morfológica e funcional abrangente, auxiliando no diagnóstico não invasivo da endometriose profunda e permitindo que o melhor tratamento seja indicado. No entanto, há divergências quanto ao protocolo ideal para aquisição das imagens. Objetivo: Descrever, com base na melhor evidência disponível, um protocolo de ressonância magnética para o diagnóstico e avaliação pré-operatória da endometriose profunda. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura científica utilizando palavras chaves e seus sinônimos na base de dados Pubmed, EMBASE, BVS Bireme, Cochrane, Scopus e Web of Science. A pesquisa incluiu artigos publicados entre Jan/2000 e Dez/2020 nas línguas português e inglês. Dois pesquisadores independentes selecionaram os artigos potencialmente relevantes através de critérios de inclusão e exclusão pré-determinados. Os artigos selecionados em concenso por ambos os pesquisadores foram incluídos na análise. Os artigos discordantes foram excluídos. Os principais dados sobre o artigo e os protocolos de ressonância magnética utilizados foram extraídos e plotados na forma de um banco de dados. Foi realizada uma análise crítica da prevalência de cada uma das particularidades técnicas envolvidas no protocolo, assim como o nível de evidência que suporta cada uma das opções. Após essa primeira fase, elaboramos um protocolo adaptado à realidade local, com vista a otimizar a gestão dos recursos disponíveis, incluindo questões como custos e número de pacientes potencialmente beneficiadas. Resultados: A estratégia de busca recuperou 3478 artigos. A seleção pelos títulos e resumos resultou em um total de 439 títulos. Posteriormente, após leitura completa dos textos, 119 artigos foram finalmente incluídos. A minoria dos trabalhos lidava especificamente com a questão dos protocolos (48/119). As controvérsias do protocolo foram tabeladas e organizadas conforme o nível de evidência. Protocolo institucional: o protocolo institucional foi elaborado a partir da contraposição das divergências. Para a decisão de um método ou técnica em detrimento de outro, optamos pelas técnicas com melhor nível de evidência e também consideramos aquelas mais comumente usadas nos trabalhos incluídos. Por fim, adaptamos à realidade local, considerando eventuais limitações e particularidades Abstract: Introduction: Introduction: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging is of increasing importance in these patients, especially considering the successive technical advances that enable a comprehensive morphological and functional evaluation, helping in the non-invasive diagnosis of deep endometriosis and allowing the best treatment to be indicated. However, there is disagreement as to the ideal protocol for image acquisition. Objective: To describe, based on the best available evidence, an MRI protocol for the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of deep endometriosis. Methods: An integrative review of the scientific literature was carried out using keywords and their synonyms in the Pubmed, EMBASE, BVS Bireme, Cochrane, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The research included articles published between Jan / 2000 and Dec / 2020 in Portuguese and English. Two independent researchers selected potentially relevant articles using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles selected by consensus by both researchers were included in the analysis. Disagreeing articles were excluded. The main data about the article and the used MRI protocols were extracted and plotted in the form of a database. A critical analysis of the prevalence of each of the technical particularities involved in the protocol was carried out, as well as the level of evidence that supports each option. After this first phase, we developed a protocol adapted to the local reality, in order to optimize the management of available resources, including issues such as costs and the number of patients potentially benefited. Results: The search strategy retrieved 3478 articles. Selection by titles and abstracts resulted in a total of 439 titles. Subsequently, after a complete reading of the texts, 119 articles were finally included. The minority of papers dealt specifically with the issue of protocols (48/119). The controversies of the protocol were tabulated and organized according to the level of evidence. Institutional protocol: the institutional protocol was developed based on the opposition of divergences. For the decision of one method or technique over another, we opted for the techniques with the best level of evidence and also considered those most commonly used in the included works. Finally, we adapt to the local reality, considering any limitations and particularities Mestrado Eficácia e Efetividade de Testes Diagnósticos e Protocolos de Tratamento em Saúde Mestre em Ciências

Orientador: Paulo Cesar Giraldo Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Objetivos: Verificar se há diferenças na perfusão tecidual vulvar em pacientes com vulvodínia em comparação com pacientes saudáveis, através da avaliação do fluxo sanguíneo da artéria clitoridiana dorsal e avaliar os escores dos diferentes domínios e escore total do Índice de Função Sexual Feminina-FSFI em ambos os grupos. Métodos: Este estudo transversal avaliou a função da artéria clitoridiana dorsal através da análise da onda espectral da ultrassonografia com Doppler colorido, em 20 mulheres diagnosticadas com vulvodínia de acordo com os critérios de Friedrich e 21 controles saudáveis. Um avaliador treinado e cegado para o diagnóstico realizou as avaliações no período da manhã, durante a fase folicular (do 1º ao 3º dia do ciclo menstrual), em uma sala com temperatura ajustada a 22 ºC, após um período de descanso de 10 minutos em decúbito dorsal com as participantes em abstenção de atividades sexuais por 24 horas. O aparelho utilizado foi o Voluson, 730 Expert, com um transdutor linear de 3-8x MHz. As medidas do pico de velocidade sistólica (PVS), média das velocidades máximas (TAMX), velocidade diastólica final (VDF), índice de pulsatilidade (IP) e índice de resistência (IR) foram realizadas, considerando o valor médio de três ondas automáticas. Todas as 41 voluntárias também responderam a um questionário que avalia a função sexual (Female Sexual Function Index - FSFI). Os testes de Mann-Whitney foram usados para comparar as médias dos parâmetros do Doppler e os testes T-Student foram usados para comparar a função sexual. Resultados: Os grupos foram comparáveis para características pessoais e história ginecológica. As mulheres eram predominantemente brancas, primíparas e jovens, com 31,5 (± 8,8) anos em média, a maioria não fumantes (85,4%). Voluntárias com vulvodínia tiveram a pior função sexual, segundo o FSFI (escore total médio = 16.976, p?0,05) e também apresentaram maiores valores de PSV, TAMX, EDV e IR quando comparados aos controles (p?0,05). Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada no IP entre os dois grupos (p> 0,05). Conclusão: Há diminuição da perfusão tecidual periférica em mulheres com vulvodínia em comparação com controles saudáveis, através da análise com Doppler colorido ultrassonográfico. Há alteração de quatro dos cinco parâmetros avaliados, sendo o mais relevante o aumento do IR. A contração sustentada de longa duração da musculatura do assoalho pélvico na vulvodínia pode gerar altas quantidades de espécies reativas de oxigênio e de nitrogênio e causar estresse oxidativo e danos teciduais. Essa cascata de eventos poderia eventualmente ajudar a explicar as alterações do fluxo sanguíneo e os mecanismos de dor e de disfunção sexual, porém nossos achados não possibilitaram determinar causalidade. Este estudo avança nosso entendimento da fisiopatologia da vulvodínia e pode contribuir para a compreensão futura da eficácia de tratamentos para essa condição Abstract: Objectives: To verify if there are differences in vulvar tissue perfusion in patients with vulvodynia compared to healthy patients, by assessing the blood flow of the dorsal clitoral artery and to evaluate the scores of the different domains and total score of the Female Sexual Function Index-FSFI in both the groups. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the function of the dorsal clitoral artery through the spectral wave analysis of color Doppler ultrasonography in 20 women diagnosed with vulvodynia according to Friedrich¿s criteria and 21 healthy controls. A trained evaluator, blinded for the diagnose, performed the evaluations in the morning during the follicular phase (from the 1st to the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle), in a room with a temperature set at 22 ºC, after a rest period of 10 minutes in a lying position, with participants abstaining from sexual activity for 24 hours. The device used was the Voluson 730 Expert with a 3-8x MHz linear transducer. Measurements of the peak systolic velocity (PSV), time-averaged maximum velocity (TAMX), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) were performed considering the average value of three automatic waves. All 41 volunteers also responded to a questionnaire assessing sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index ¿ FSFI). Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare the means of Doppler parameters and the Student-T tests were used to compare sexual function. Results: The groups were comparable for personal characteristics and gynecological history. The women were predominantly white, primiparous and young, with a mean of 31.5 (± 8.8) years old, most of them non-smokers (85.4%). Volunteers with vulvodynia had the worst sexual function, according to the FSFI (mean total score = 16,976, p?0.05) and also presented higher values of PSV, TAMX, EDV and IR when compared to controls (p?0.05). No significant difference was found in PI between the two groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: According to our study there is a decrease in peripheral tissue perfusion in women with vulvodynia compared to healthy controls through ultrasound color Doppler analysis. Four of the five parameters evaluated were altered and the most relevant is the increase in IR. The sustained long-term contractions of the pelvic floor muscles that occur in vulvodynia can generate high amounts of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and cause oxidative stress and tissue damage. This cascade of events might eventually help to explain the blood flow alterations and mechanisms of pain and sexual dysfunction, but our findings were not able to determine causality. This study advances our understanding of the pathophysiology of vulvodynia and may contribute to the future comprehension of the efficacy of treatments for this condition Mestrado Fisiopatologia Ginecológica Mestra em Ciências da Saúde CAPES

Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência e os fatores associados à ansiedade, depressão e ao transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo em mulheres com e sem dor pélvica crônica (DPC). Métodos: Entre outubro de 2014 e fevereiro de 2016, conduziu-se um estudo de corte transversal, no Ambulatório de Ginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 200 mulheres, sendo 100 com DPC e 100 sem DPC. Foram investigadas características sociodemográficas, comportamentais e clínicas. A Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão foi utilizada para a avaliação de ansiedade e depressão. Para comparar as características sociodemográficas, comportamentais e clínicas entre os dois grupos foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. Para a investigação dos fatores associados à ansiedade, depressão e ao transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo utilizou-se um modelo de regressão log-binomial. Este modelo permite o cálculo da razão de prevalência (RP) não ajustada e ajustada por potenciais variáveis confundidoras (idade, cor da pele, escolaridade, índice de massa corpórea e DPC) com seu respectivo intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95%. Resultados: A prevalência de ansiedade foi de 66% no grupo com DPC e de 49% no grupo sem DPC (p=0,02). Depressão esteve presente em 63% das mulheres com DPC e em 38% daquelas sem DPC (p˂0,01). Transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo foi identificado em 54% e 28% (p˂0,01) no grupo com e sem DPC, respectivamente. Após a análise ajustada por potenciais variáveis confundidoras, DPC (RP=1,3; IC95%: 1,1-1,6), violência física (RP=1,5; IC95%:1,2-1,8) e violência sexual (RP=1,5; IC95%: 1,1-1,8) associaram-se independentemente à ansiedade. Verificou-se que mulheres entre 25 e 34 anos de idade foram menos prováveis de ter ansiedade (RP=0,6; IC95%: 0,4-0,8). DPC (RP=1,6; IC95%: 1,2-2,2), violência física (RP=1,3; IC95%: 1,1-1,7) e violência sexual (RP=1,7; IC95%: 1,3-2,2) relacionaram-se independentemente à depressão. DPC (RP=1,9; IC95%: 1,3-2,7), tabagismo (RP=1,5; IC95%: 1,1-2,1), violência física (RP=1,4; IC95%: 1,1-1,9) e violência sexual (RP=1,4; IC95%: 1,1-1,8) associaram-se independentemente ao transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo. A duração média da DPC foi 7,0±6,0 anos e a intensidade média da dor foi 7,8±2,1. A intensidade e a duração da dor não apresentaram associação estatisticamente significativa com ansiedade, depressão e transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo. Conclusões: Mulheres com DPC apresentaram maior prevalência de ansiedade, depressão e transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo do que aquelas sem DPC. DPC, violência física, violência sexual e tabagismo associaram-se a transtornos mentais. Vale destacar a associação da DPC com ansiedade, depressão e transtorno misto ansioso e depressivo. Estes achados sugerem a necessidade de uma abordagem biopsicossocial e interdisciplinar, que leve em consideração fatores psiquiátricos. Essa abordagem poderá contribuir para a melhora da saúde mental dessas mulheres. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and mixed anxiety and depressive disorder (MADD) and factors associated with these conditions in women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) compared to a pain-free control group. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 women with CPP and 100 without CPP in the Teaching Hospital Gynecologic Ambulatory of Federal University of Goiás from October 2014 to February 2016. Sociodemographic, behavioral and clinical characteristics were investigated. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to evaluate the presence of anxiety and depression. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare characteristics between groups. A log-binomial regression model was used to investigate the factors associated with anxiety, depression, and MADD. This model allows the calculation of the unadjusted prevalence ratio (PR) and adjusted for potential confounding variables (age, skin color, schooling, body mass index and CPP) with a respective 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The prevalence of anxiety was 66% in the CPP group and 49% in the controls (p=0.02). Depression was identified in 63% of the women with CPP and in 38% of the controls (p

Orientadores: José Vassallo, Luis Otávio Zanatta Sarian Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Resumo: Introdução: A ressonância magnética (RM) é um excelente método diagnóstico complementar à ultrassonografia (US) pré-natal para elucidar anomalias morfológicas fetais. A alta sensibilidade diagnóstica da RM fornece informações importantes para o manejo da gestação e do parto. Após sua introdução no diagnóstico pré-natal em 1983, a RM fetal foi realizada inicialmente em aparelhos de potência de campo inferior à 1 Tesla (1T), e devido à evolução técnica, posteriormente em aparelhos de campo magnético de 1,5 T, em acordo com as recomendações do National Radiological Protection Board, International Non-Ionizing Radiation Committee of the International Radiation Protection Association (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection ¿ ICNIRP), e dos manuais de segurança em ressonância magnética (MRI safety). Os aparelhos de ressonância magnética com campo magnético de 3T fornecem elevada resolução espacial e aquisições rápidas, aumentando desta maneira o espectro de aplicações clínicas. Objetivo: Relatar nossa experiência preliminar com ressonância magnética do cérebro fetal com um aparelho de potência de campo magnético de 3T considerando os seguintes aspectos: tempo de aquisição das imagens, artefatos de imagem provocados pelo alto campo magnético e determinação do diagnóstico. Metodologia: Em 59 mulheres gestantes foram realizados 60 exames de RM cerebral fetal em aparelho de campo magnético de 3T durante o terceiro trimestre da gestação. As indicações para a RM eram: US com suspeita de anomalia do sistema nervoso central (SNC) ou antecedentes de gestação com malformação congênita do SNC. Nenhuma sedação fetal ou materna foi usada. O protocolo de RM consistiu em imagens T2 turbo-spin-eco (TSE) do cérebro fetal nos planos axial, sagital, coronal. Nenhuma imagem ponderada em T1 foi realizada. As imagens foram analisadas em conjunto por dois neurorradiologistas pediátricos, os quais avaliaram: tempo de aquisição, presença de artefatos, os diagnósticos encontrados. Resultados: Todos os exames foram realizados sem intercorrências clínicas maternas e/ou obstétricas. As imagens tinham elevado tempo de aquisição (75 segundos para cada plano do espaço). A taxa de absorção específica (SAR) não foi excedida em nenhum feto. A RM cerebral foi normal em 22 casos. O espectro de diagnósticos incluiu: ventriculomegalia isolada, malformação da fossa posterior, malformação do corpo caloso, anomalias de giração, craniossinostose, esclerose tuberosa, microcefalia, hidrocefalia externa, cisto de aracnóide, lesões cerebrais e persistência de vítreo primitivo hiperplásico. Foram realizadas 12 autópsias que evidenciaram concordância total com os achados de RM em 10 casos. Em 2 casos, houve mínimas discordâncias. Conclusão: Em nossa série, a RM cerebral fetal em aparelho de 3T requisitou elevado tempo de aquisição, não apresentou artefatos que impossibilitassem o diagnóstico e foi capaz de fornecer os diagnósticos (normais e patológicos Abstract: Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent diagnostic method complementary to prenatal ultrasonography (US) to elucidate fetal morphological abnormalities. The high diagnostic sensitivity of MRI provides important information for the management of pregnancy and delivery. After its introduction in the prenatal diagnosis in 1983, fetal MRI was initially performed on magnetic field devices equal to or less than 1 Tesla (1T), and due to technical developments, then on 1.5 Tesla magnetic field devices, according to the recommendations of the National Radiological Protection Board, International Non-Ionizing Radiation Committee of the International Radiation Protection Association (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection ¿ ICNIRP) and magnetic resonance safety manuals. 3T MRI devices provide high spatial resolution and rapid acquisition, thus increasing the spectrum of clinical applications. Objective: To report our preliminary experience with MRI of the fetal brain with a 3T magnetic field power device considering the following aspects: time of acquisition of the images, artifacts, the diagnoses found. Methodology: Fifty-nine pregnant women had fetal MRI performed during the third trimester of pregnancy due to clinical or sonography concern of a central nervous system (CNS) anomaly. No fetal or maternal sedation was used. The MRI protocol consisted of T2 turbo-spin-echo images (TSE) in three planes of space. No T1 weighted (W) images were performed. All images were analyzed together by two pediatric neuroradiologists, who evaluated: artifacts, time of acquisition of the images, and the diagnoses found. Results: All the exams were performed without maternal and / or obstetric clinical complications. The images required longer time of acquisition (75 seconds for each plane in the space). The specific absorption rate (SAR) was not exceeded in any fetus. Cerebral fetal MRI was normal in 22 cases. The spectrum of diagnostics included: isolated ventriculomegaly, posterior fossa malformation, corpus callosum malformation, gyration anomalies, craniosynostosis, tuberous sclerosis, microcephaly, external hydrocephaly, midline arachnoid cyst, cerebral lesions, and persistent hyperplastic primitive vitreous. Twelve autopsies were performed that showed total concordance with MRI findings in 10 cases. In 2 cases, there were minimal disagreements. Conclusion: In our series, fetal brain MRI in a 3T device required a high acquisition time, did not present artifacts that made the diagnosis impossible and was able to provide the diagnoses (normal and pathological) Doutorado Clínica Médica Doutor em Ciências
