Detection of breast cancer as early as possible is an ongoing imaging challenge.The purpose of the current study is to assess the clinical performance of the new scintigraphic technology, a dedicated breast gamma camera composed by the new generation of CZT detectors,for assessment of breast pathology specifically in women where current imaging techniques, mainly mammography are suboptimal. These cohort are patients with dense breast tissue and patients who are at high risk for breast cancer by a combination of other metrics, including family history and genetic testing. BRCA (breast cancer susceptibility gene), is particularly a relevant health problem among Ashkenazi Jews in Israel.

Observational study of influence of gemcitabine treatment on serological and immunological status and gene expression profile in patients with pancreatic tubular carcinoma after tumor resection.

The objective of the present study is to describe the current practice of postoperative fluid management in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

The purpose of this study is to compare plaque burden in the coronary and carotid arteries 5 years after adjuvant radiotherapy in women with right sided breast cancer vs left sided breast cancer.

The aims of this study are to: explore supportive care needs in colorectal cancer patients with treatment and survivors; compare the supportive care needs in different stage of colorectal cancer; identify the significant factors for the supportive care needs; explore the supportive care needs within one year after newly diagnosis.

The Purpose of this study is to report a new single portal endoscopic release technique and the sequence of the first 50 patients who underwent this release. This will be a chart review of the demographics, outcomes, and complications of a sequential series of patients undergoing a Seg-Way Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR).

To collect three dimensional retinal measurements of the optic disc and the macula lutea on healthy normal subjects using the 3D OCT-1000 Mark II for the purpose of developing a normative database that is stratified by age.

The lack of subcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) rise in response to high fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), called the "oxygen challenge test (OCT)", was associated with higher morbidity and mortality in human subjects. Patients had negative O2 challenge test results, indicating that flow-dependent O2 consumption might have been present. Recent reports using the noninvasive transcutaneous PO2 (PtO2) and transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide probes have observed a relationship between low oxygen challenge test values to mortality and organ failure. The OCT values provides an accessible noninvasive method of detecting early shock. To date,these studies of OCT in the ICU patients are rarely. No one has quantified OCT to CI, DO2I、ScvO2. This study explored: relationship between patient factors, hemodynamic variables, PtO2, and OCT to mortality; relationship between PtO2 index, tissue oxygen index, oxygen Challenge index to CI, DO2, ScvO2.

The purpose of this study is to determine a possible implication of CD21, CD35 and CD55 in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration. The aim is to asses a difference in expression rates of these factors on AMD-patients and a healthy control group.

Ureteral stents has become an indispensable instrument for urology practice as a result of widespread use of endourological interventions. Removal of stents could be sometimes neglected by patients or physicians. This omission may lead to legal and medical problems for urologists, health institutions and also for patients. In this study, the investigators offer a computer program providing two sided recall to prevent this nasty complication with sending automatic message by short message service (SMS) to both the patient and the urologist.
