Percutaneous cholecystostomy tube (PCT) has been effectively used for the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) patients unsuitable early cholecystectomy. This retrospective study investigated recurrence rate after successful PCT and factors associated with recurrence.We reviewed treated AC from October 2004 through December 2013. Patients were those who free persistent drainage. We multivariable logistic regression analysis sequentially to identify each outcome.The included 184 (mean age:...
Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Asian populations, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are particularly prevalent, to development EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve patient outcomes. While extensive research has been conducted on prognosis patients receiving EGFR-TKIs, estimation 5-year survival in this population remains an underexplored area. Objectives: This study aimed provide...
This study investigated the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers (lymphocyte ratio [NLR], monocyte-to-lymphocyte [MLR], and platelet-to-lymphocyte [PLR]) treatment outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated afatinib. The NSCLC afatinib June 2014 February 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Their clinical (progression-free survival [PFS] tumor response) explored using univariate multivariate analyses. Among 325 patients, those an NLR >2.18, MLR >0.19, PLR...
A 60-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a one-week history of coughing up blood. He had worked underground as an anthracite coal miner for about 25 years. Chest radiography ([Figure 1][1]) and computed tomography (CT) (Appendix 1, available at [www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/doi:10.
We examined the prevalence of probable common mental disorders (CMDs) in commercial low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening consumers relative to general population and determine correlates CMDs among participants. Commercial LDCT (N = 1323) were compared with a nationally representative sample from Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS) 2034). Respondents scoring ≥3 on Chinese Health Questionnaire classified as having CMD. Logistic regression was used investigate differences...
