Therefore targeting CCL2 regulation tumor progression bone metastases is an area intense research. objective our study was to investigate efficacy blockade by neutralizing antibodies inhibit growth PCa bone. We used preclinical model which C4-2B cells were injected directly into murine tibiae. Animals treated for...
To assess bone-density testing (BDT) use amongst prostate cancer survivors receiving androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), and downstream implications for osteoporosis fracture diagnoses, as well pharmacological treatment in a national integrated delivery system.
Aims The use of cystoscopy and hydrodistention in the management interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) varies widely between providers. Current evidence regarding risks benefits hydrodistention, as well long term effects repeated are not established. We sought to characterize on IC/BPS symptoms bladder capacity.

The potential a separate, clinically-relevant metric, TKA revision within year following surgery, not fully explored. Based this, we compared and payments procedures as metrics improving quality cost.We utilized 2013 Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) to examine national rates, reasons procedures, associated costs elective...
To examine predictors of early readmissions after radical cystectomy (RC). Factors associated with preventable may be most evident in that occur within 3 days discharge, commonly termed 'bounce-back' readmissions, and identifying such factors inform efforts to reduce surgical readmissions.We utilised the Healthcare Cost Utilization Project's State Inpatient Databases 1867 patients undergoing RC 2009 2010, identified all readmitted 30 discharge. We assessed differences between experiencing...
Objectives To characterise bone scan use, and potential overuse, after radical prostatectomy (RP) using data from a large, national integrated delivery system. Overuse of imaging is well documented in the setting newly diagnosed prostate cancer, but whether overuse persists RP remains unknown. Patients methods We identified 12 269 patients with cancer treated between 2005 2008 Veterans Administration Central Cancer Registry. used administrative laboratory to examine rates including preceding...
