Summary: This study investigates the impact of needle bevel geometry and length on resonance characteristics and deflection magnitude, finding differences in deflection-to-power ratio among needles with different bevel geometries in air and water. The study emphasizes the importance of the relationship between bevel geometry flexural stiffness and insertion media, providing insights for controlling post-puncture cutting action.

Summary: Endoscopic ultrasound tissue acquisition, through EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB, is commonly used for pancreatic mass lesions, subepithelial lesions, and lymph node biopsy. While both methods are safe and offer high diagnostic value, there are potential limitations with EUS-FNA related to cytological aspirations. Comparative trials between EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB for pancreatic mass lesions have shown conflicting results, with the need for further large-scale studies for other types of lesions.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis compared the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-guided FNA and FNB for pancreatic cancer. The meta-analysis showed that EUS-FNB had superior diagnostic accuracy compared to EUS-FNA for pancreatic cancer.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of immunohistochemistry (IHC) or flow cytometry (FCM) on specimens obtained from EUS-FNB and EUS-FNA in the diagnosis and staging of deep-seated lymphomas. The results showed that compared with EUS-FNA, EUS-FNB yielded better quality tissue samples and higher diagnostic accuracy. The application of FCM improved the diagnostic efficacy of EUS-FNA, but EUS-FNB remained the preferred diagnostic modality in terms of procedure time, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB in abdominal lymph node sampling, finding that EUS-FNB had higher diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity compared to EUS-FNA. Both modalities had no adverse events.

Summary: This study compared the diagnostic value and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) in sampling solid lesions, showing that FNB has better diagnostic accuracy and tissue core rates in solid gastrointestinal lesions, with fewer needle passes, but no difference in solid pancreatic disease.

Summary: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and ultrasound in thyroid nodule diagnosis. The results showed that FNAC had a higher sensitivity than ultrasound, while ultrasound had a higher specificity than FNAC. Combining these two methods can improve diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the UCSF pathology database for thyroid FNABs, analyzing a large cohort of patients with long-term follow-up to determine the risk of thyroid malignancy for different diagnostic categories. The results showed that patients with initial benign or unsatisfactory biopsy results are unlikely to develop thyroid malignancy or die of thyroid cancer, highlighting the high accuracy of FNAB in detecting malignancy.

Summary: The article discusses the interaction between merchants and online platforms in implementing different advertising strategies under fierce market competition. The study found that when the difference in charging standards between the two advertising strategies is small, merchants tend to adopt targeted advertising strategy, while in moderate differences in charging standards, the dominance of targeted advertising strategy depends on the proportion of the member group.

Summary: The study evaluated the adequacy of transvaginal ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy for pelvic masses with onsite cytopathology consultation. Results showed that TVUS-FNAB had a high specimen adequacy rate when performed with an onsite cytopathologist, with additional core-needle biopsy increasing overall diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of combined fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy (CNB). The results showed that regardless of nodule size, combined FNA/CNB tended to yield lower proportions of inconclusive results than CNB or FNA alone and exhibited higher performance in diagnosing malignancy. The combined FNA/CNB technique may be a more valuable diagnostic method for nodules ???1.5 cm and nodules with a risk of malignancy than CNB and FNA alone.

Summary: This study compared core needle biopsy (CNB) and repeat fine-needle aspiration (rFNA) in reducing the rates of potential diagnostic surgery and unnecessary surgery for nodules initially diagnosed as atypia/follicular lesions of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS). CNB was found to be superior to rFNA in reducing the rates of diagnostic surgery and unnecessary surgery.

Summary: This study investigated the prognosis and application criteria of core needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) in breast cancer diagnosis. The results showed that patients diagnosed using FNA had significantly worse survival rates than those diagnosed using CNB. Under specific conditions, FNA showed particularly poor survival rates.
