This article emphasizes image-guided puncture, a common technique used by interventional radiologists. It focuses on ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, and computed tomography fluoroscopy-guided procedures. While techniques vary, successful outcomes without complications still heavily rely on operators' skill and judgment. Operators need knowledge of needle characteristics and expert needle manipulation. Continual skill refinement through daily practice is essential, aiming maximum results with minimal invasiveness. This article examines challenging cases of percutaneous needle biopsy, biliary intervention, radiofrequency ablation, and percutaneous abscess drainage while referencing previous review articles and discusses how to succeed in these cases by employing various techniques and approaches in various image-guided procedures. This article aimed to provide interventional radiologists with a comprehensive and practical guide for enhancing their image-guided puncture techniques, ultimately leading to successful outcomes.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

Objective: In addition to hypogonadism, other endocrine disorders-particularly hyperprolactinemia-can significantly influence erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of normalizing prolactin (PRL) levels on erectile function in men diagnosed with ED and hyperprolactinemia. The primary outcome was improvement in IIEF-5.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of different suture and graft techniques on postoperative projection and rotation.
Methods: A total of 392 patients who met the inclusion criteria were screened and divided into 9 groups based on the technique performed. Outcome scores, tip projection ratios, and tip rotation angles were measured for the preoperative, early postoperative, and late postoperative periods.

Purpose: To assess modified folinic acid/leucovorin, fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX; mFFX) versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) in de novo metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and explore predictive biomarkers.
Patients And Methods: Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to mFFX or GnP with exclusion of germline pathogenic variants in or . The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) between arms with 0.
