Appropriate use of tissue sampling and somatostatin receptor PET imaging in the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: results of an International Delphi Consensus
No full textBackground: Current guidelines lack clarity regarding the appropriate use of preoperative ultrasound-guided (EUS) biopsy and receptor positron emission tomography (SSTR PET) imaging for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). This study aims to reach expert consensus on the optimal sequencing of SSTR PET and EUS biopsy in the diagnostic workup and management of patients with suspected PNETs.
Methods: A three-round modified Delphi process was used. A multidisciplinary panel of experts was recruited via snowball sampling. A set of 22 baseline statements pertaining to diagnostic workup, imaging, and biopsy was developed based on literature review and feedback obtained through a focus group. Survey rounds were conducted electronically and anonymously. A panel of international experts was asked to indicate whether they agreed, disagreed, or lacked the appropriate background to answer each statement. Of the 55 experts invited, 38 (69%) accepted to participate. Consensus was achieved with \u3e 80% agreement.
Results: Response rates were 97%, 100%, and 100% in rounds 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Following rounds 1 and 2, 29 final statements achieved consensus in the following three domains: diagnostic workup (15 statements), imaging (nine statements), and tissue sampling (five statements). Cronbach\u27s alpha value, a measure of internal consistency, was 0.91 and 0.85 for rounds 1 and 2, respectively. The final set of statements achieved a 95% approval rate in round 3.
Conclusion: This international Delphi study provides expert consensus-based guidance on the appropriate use of EUS biopsy in the diagnostic workup of PNETs in the era of SSTR PET imaging

Sideline Management of Syndesmotic Injuries in the Athlete: Evaluation, Management, and Return to Play
No full textObjective: This review aims to provide a comprehensive examination of syndesmotic ankle injuries in athletes, covering pertinent aspects from anatomy to treatment options.
Methods: A thorough literature search was conducted to gather relevant information on syndesmotic injuries in athletes. Data regarding anatomy, epidemiology, injury mechanisms, clinical assessment, imaging modalities, conservative management, and surgical interventions were analyzed and synthesized.
Results: Syndesmotic injuries, colloquially termed high ankle sprains, pose significant challenges for medical professionals, especially in high-impact sports such as American football. Clinical evaluation, including specific tests and imaging techniques, is crucial for accurate diagnosis. Conservative management strategies involve immobilization and rehabilitation for stable injuries, while surgical intervention may be necessary for severe cases to maintain anatomic alignment. Various surgical techniques, including screw and suture button fixation, have been utilized with favorable outcomes.
Discussion/conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of syndesmotic injuries is essential for health care providers involved in the care of athletes. Accurate diagnosis, tailored treatment plans, and appropriate rehabilitation protocols are vital for optimizing outcomes and facilitating safe return to sport. This review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians managing syndesmotic injuries in athletes, highlighting the importance of evidence-based approaches in guiding clinical decision-making.
