CIPN is a common, dose-limiting side effect of taxane-based chemotherapy. Currently there no established strategy for prevention or treatment. Smaller studies suggest that cooling compression could have preventive effect. In this randomized trial we investigated the effectiveness one-sided hand-cooling CIPN. 122 breast cancer patients who received weekly (nab-)paclitaxel-based (neo-)adjuvant ch...

Pelvic pain due to chronic pudendal nerve (PN) compression, when treated surgically, is approached with a transgluteal division of the sacrotuberous ligament (STL). Controversy exists as to whether the STL heals spontaneously or requires grafting. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine how surgically divided and unrepaired STL heal. A retrospective evaluation of 10 patients who had h...

High-field imaging of the spine with the use of 3 Tesla MRI promises improved image quality and clinical efficiency, providing excellent capability for better diagnosis and prognosis. Advanced techniques related to the spine include 3D imaging, whole-body MRI, magnetic resonance neurography, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and functional imaging. These techniques are being used in patients wit...
