This study aimed to characterize medical terms in an online cancer forum, with particular focus on specialization and semantic features. A three-step analysis was carried out on a 60-million-word corpus to detect and characterize the most typical medical terms used in a cancer forum by means of (1) keywords contrastive, (2) co-text-guided, and (3) semantic analyses. More than half of the 1000 words analysed were medical terms according to the co-text-guided analysis carried out. Most of them (73%) were dictionary-defined medical terms, followed by co-text-defined terms (9%) and medical initialisms (8.5%). The semantic analysis showed a higher number of terms within the fields of Anatomy, Treatment, Hospital and Symptoms. Our findings suggest that medical terms are commonly used in cancer forums, especially to share e-patients’ concerns about treatment, symptoms and hospital environment. The method followed is efficient and could be applied in future studies. Altogether, this article contributes to characterizing medical terms used by e-patients in online cancer forums. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los términos médicos de un foro en línea sobre cáncer, prestando especial atención a los rasgos semánticos y de especialización. Con el fin de detectar y caracterizar los términos médicos más típicos utilizados en un foro de cáncer, se llevó a cabo un análisis de un corpus de 60 millones de palabras en tres etapas: (a) contraste de palabras clave, (b) estudio del cotexto y (c) análisis semántico. Más de la mitad de las 1000 palabras analizadas eran términos médicos de acuerdo con el análisis guiado por el contexto. La mayor parte de ellas (el 73%) se corresponden con “términos médicos definidos en el diccionario”, seguidos de “términos definidos por el cotexto” (9%) y de “siglas y abreviaturas médicas” (8,5%). En el análisis semántico se encontró un mayor número de términos en los campos de Anatomía, Tratamiento, Hospital y Síntomas. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que los términos médicos son frecuentemente utilizados en los foros oncológicos, sobre todo para compartir las preocupaciones de los e-pacientes sobre el tratamiento, los síntomas y el medio hospitalario. El método seguido es eficiente y podría aplicarse en estudios futuros. En definitiva, este artículo contribuye a la caracterización de los términos médicos utilizados por los e-pacientes en foros en línea sobre cáncer.

- Abstract
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) can sometimes cause severe symptoms and lead to hospitalisation, but they often go unnoticed in the Emergency Department (ED). The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to describe the profile of patients hospitalised by TBDs; and (ii) to evaluate the data collected in the medical records from the ED in order to analyse their potential clinical consequences. A total of 84 cases that included all TBD diagnoses registered in the ED records were identified and analysed. These corresponded to all the hospitalisations by TBDs in the last 10 years (2009–2019) in two tertiary hospitals in Granada, Spain. Statistical analyses were made using RStudio. Coinciding with the absence of patient’s report of exposure to ticks, 64.3% of TBDs were not suspected in the ED. Intensive care unit admission was required in 8.3% of cases, and the mortality rate was 2.4%. Non-suspected cases showed longer hospital stay (P < 0.001), treatment duration (P = 0.02) and delay in the initiation of antibiotic treatment (P < 0.001). Our findings indicate that symptoms associated with TBDs are highly non-specific. In the absence of explicit information related to potential tick exposure, TBDs are not initially suspected. As a consequence, elective treatment administration is delayed and hospitalisation time is prolonged. In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of addressing potential exposure to ticks during the ED contact with patients presenting with febrile syndrome.

Objetivos: Estudiar la frecuencia de utilización de escalas de probabilidad clínica (Escala de Wells, EW) ante la sospecha de tromboembolismo pulmonar agudo (TEPA) en pacientes a los que se realiza angiografía torácica por tomografía computarizada (angioTC) o gammagrafía V/Q. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de las historias clínicas de los pacientes con angioTC o gammagrafía V/Q solicitada desde Urgencias por sospecha de TEPA en nuestro hospital durante enero de 2018. Se registraron variables sociodemográficas, uso de la EW, valor del dímero D, frecuencia de TEPA, síntomas, factores de riesgo, diagnósticos alternativos y se reconstruyeron las EW simplificadas (EWs) si estas no constaban. Se realizaron análisis de frecuencias y de asociaciones de las variables recogidas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 64 pacientes (42,18% hombres), de los cuales 19 presentaron TEPA (29,69%). Los diagnósticos alternativos más frecuentes fueron la insuficiencia cardíaca e infección respiratoria. La EW solo constó por escrito en dos de ellos (3,13%). Según la EWs reconstruida, 50 pacientes presentaron una probabilidad clínica baja (78,13%) y 14 pacientes (21,88%) una probabilidad alta. Al comparar la probabilidad clínica en función de la existencia de TEPA se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos de baja y alta probabilidad (p=0,008). En este último, solo se aplicó correctamente el protocolo clínico del hospital en un paciente (6,67%). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre el grupo TEPA y No TEPA respecto a síntomas, factores de riesgo, sexo o edad. Conclusiones: La baja aplicación de las escalas de probabilidad clínica encontrada supone una escasa adherencia a las guías clínicas para el diagnóstico de TEPA y puede implicar un uso de técnicas innecesarias potencialmente dañinas para el paciente. La prevalencia, síntomas y factores de riesgo de TEPA hallados son similares a los descritos en la literatura, con algunas excepciones que habrán de ser confirmadas en estudios futuros., Objectives: To study the frequency of use and assess potential factors associated to the use of Diagnostic Probability Scales (Wells’ Criteria) in suspected acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in patients that were tested using computarized tomography angiography (CTA) or ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy (V/Q scan). Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted through the examination of clinical histories of patients admitted to the ED in our hospital that underwent CTA or V/Q scans due to suspected PE. Sociodemographic factors, Wells’ score, D-dimer values, PE prevalence, symptoms, risk factors, alternative diagnoses and retrospective simplified Wells’ scores were obtained. Frequency and association analyses were conducted. Results: Sixty-two patients (38.18% males) were included, of which nineteen (29.69%) presented PE. The most common alternative diagnoses were heart failure and respiratory infections. Wells score appeared in only 2 cases (3.13%). Retrospective simplified Wells score showed that 50 patients (78.13%) had low probability and 14 patients (21.88%) had high probability of PE. When stratified by presence of PE, significant differences were found between low and high probability groups (p = .008). In the latter group, the protocol was correctly followed in only 1 patient (6.67%). No significant differences were found between the PE versus no PE groups regarding symptoms, risk factors, age or gender. Conclusion: The low use of PSS found implies bad adherence to clinical protocols in suspected PE. The prevalence, symptoms and risk factors associated with PE found in this study are similar to those reported in the literature, with some exceptions that should be confirmed in future studies.

- Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in primary staging of rectal cancer, enabling the determination of appropriate management strategies and prediction of patient outcomes. However, inconsistencies and pitfalls exist in various aspects, including rectal anatomy, MRI protocols and strategies for artifact resolution, as well as in T- and N-staging, all of which limit the diagnostic value of MRI. This narrative and pictorial review offers a comprehensive overview of factors influencing primary staging of rectal cancer and the role of MRI in assessing them. It highlights the significance of the circumferential resection margin and its relationship with the mesorectal fascia, as well as the prognostic role of extramural venous invasion and tumor deposits. Special attention is given to tumors of the lower rectum due to their complex anatomy and the challenges they pose in MRI staging. The review also addresses current controversies in rectal cancer staging and the need for personalized risk stratification. In summary, this review provides valuable insights into the role of MRI in the primary staging of rectal cancer, emphasizing key aspects for accurate assessment to enhance patient outcomes., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Introduction: To date, few studies have explored the specific risk factors of patients with listeriosis who develop rhombencephalitis, and there is insufficient information regarding imaging findings and clinical symptoms in patients with this disease. This work aimed to analyze the imaging findings associated with L. monocytogenes rhombencephalitis in a cohort of patients with listeriosis., Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of all declared cases of listeriosis in a tertiary hospital from Granada, Spain, from 2008 to 2021. Risk factors, comorbidities, and clinical outcomes were collected for all patients. In addition, clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were included for those patients who developed rhombencephalitis. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed using SPSS statistical software (IBM SPSS, version 21)., Results: Our cohort comprised 120 patients with listeriosis (41.7% women, mean age: 58.6 ± 23.8 years), of which 10 (8.3%) had rhombencephalitis. The most frequent MRI findings in patients with confirmed rhombencephalitis were T2-FLAIR hyperintensity (100%), T1 hypointensity (80%), scattered parenchymal enhancement (80%), and cranial nerve enhancement (70%), while the most frequent anatomical involvement were pons, medulla oblongata, and cerebellum. Complications occurred in 6 patients (abscess in 4, hemorrhage in 2, hydrocephalus in 1)., Conclusions: Rhombencephalitis is associated with an increased in-hospital mortality in patients with listeriosis. The anatomical distribution and imaging characteristics of neurolisteriosis could be useful to suggest the diagnosis. Future studies with greater sample size should explore the association between anatomical location, imaging patterns, and associated complications (e.g., hydrocephalus, hemorrhage), and clinical outcomes.

- Abstract
Low-energy vertebral fractures pose a diagnostic challenge for the radiologist due to their often-inadvertent nature and often subtle imaging semiology. However, the diagnosis of this type of fractures can be decisive, not only because it allows targeted treatment to prevent complications, but also because of the possibility of diagnosing systemic pathologies such as osteoporosis or metastatic disease. Pharmacological treatment in the first case has been shown to prevent the development of other fractures and complications, while percutaneous treatments and various oncological therapies can be an alternative in the second case. Therefore, it is necessary to know the epidemiology and typical imaging findings of this type of fractures. The objective of this work is to review the imaging diagnosis of low-energy fractures, with special emphasis on the characteristics that should be outlined in the radiological report to guide a specific diagnosis that favours and optimizes the treatment of patients suffering of low energy fractures., (Copyright © 2023 SERAM.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: To evaluate the frequency of acute pulmonary embolism, the use of clinical probability scores, and the appropriateness of the management of patients for whom computed tomography angiography (CTA) was requested from the emergency department for suspected acute pulmonary embolism., Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of CTA studies requested from the emergency department to rule out acute pulmonary embolism. We analyzed clinical variables and the explicit use of clinical probability scores. We determined the appropriateness of management according to the Wells Score and Geneva Score and the simplified versions of these two scores, calculated retrospectively., Results: We included 534 patients (52.8% women; mean age, 73 years). The frequency of acute pulmonary embolism was 23.0% and the Wells Score was explicitly used in 15.2%. The appropriateness of the management varied depending on the clinical probability score used to assess it (54.5%-75.8%) and on whether the standard d-dimer or age-adjusted d-dimer was used., Conclusions: The failure to use the Wells Scores in all cases does not necessarily imply inappropriate management, and the performance of global clinical judgment can be similar to that of clinical probability scores; however, specific studies are necessary to confirm this hypothesis., (Copyright © 2020 SERAM.

- Abstract
Introduction: Headache is a common health problem in the general population. In clinical practice it is common to request neuroimaging examinations to rule out secondary headache, especially brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of this study is to analyze the secondary descriptors of headache-associated symptoms in brain MRI studies to assess their usefulness as predictors of potential intracranial structural abnormalities., Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational study of brain MRI studies performed due to headache in 6 centers in Andalusia between January 1 and May 30, 2019. The studies were performed on MRI machines with similar technical characteristics and imaging protocols, and were subjected to double reading by two neuroradiologists. Uni- and bivariate analyses were performed on the variables of interest: age, sex, headache-associated symptoms, and imaging findings., Results: A total of 1041 patients who underwent brain MRI were included -mean age: 38.6 years (range: 3-86); 69.9% women-. In 737 (70.80%) cases there were no headache-associated symptoms and in the remaining patients (304 cases, 29.20%) there were headache-associated symptoms, the most frequent being: visual alterations, paresthesia, and vertigo and dizziness. Bivariate analyses showed no significant differences between groups., Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that symptoms accompanying headache are not associated with a greater or lesser detection of intracranial structural abnormalities in MRI. Prospective studies that overcome the limitations of the present work are needed to verify this hypothesis.

- Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) is the most common acute condition of the aorta and has a high mortality. Therefore, it is a radiological emergency of vital importance. Currently, five subtypes are distinguished, among which AD class 3 -also known as limited or subtle AD- is the less recognised. This type of dissection is infrequent and needs to be acknowledged radiologically in order not to go unnoticed. Regarding its imaging features, this entity is characterized by a small focal bulging of the aortic wall outline and/or a limited round dilation at the region affected by the intimal tear. Recently, the low familiarity of the radiologist with this condition has been emphasized. With the aim of illustrating the main imaging findings of this entity and reviewing its most relevant aspects, we present four cases of AD class 3 diagnosed in our hospital., (Copyright © 2019 SERAM.
