Importance The US heart allocation system prioritizes medically urgent candidates with a high risk of dying without transplant. current therapy-based 6-status is susceptible to manipulation and has limited rank ordering ability. Objective To develop validate candidate score that incorporates clinical, laboratory, hemodynamic data. Design, Setting, Participants A registry-based observational study adult transplant (aged ≥18 years) from the listed between January 1, 2019, December 31, 2022,...
Abstract Background The goal of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety 90Y radioembolization for neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) in a multicenter registry. Methods One hundred-seventy patients with NELM were enrolled the registry (NCT 02685631). Prior treatments included hepatic resection ( n = 23, 14%), arterial therapy 62, 36%), octreotide 119, 83%), cytotoxic chemotherapy 58, 41%), biologic 49, 33%) immunotherapy 10, 6%). Seventy-seven (45%) had extrahepatic disease....
The management of very-low rectal cancer is one the most challenging issues faced by general and colorectal surgeons. Many feel compelled to pursue abdominoperineal resection (APR) over low anterior (LAR) optimize oncologic outcomes. This study aimed determine differences in long-term outcomes between patients undergoing APR or LAR for cancer.
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome or drug-induced hypersensitivity is a potentially life-threatening drug most commonly associated anticonvulsants, allopurinol, long-acting sulfonamides, dapsone, minocycline. In the setting of HIV infection, antiretroviral medicines abacavir, nevirapine, efavirenz have all shown well-documented associations DRESS syndrome. There has only been one case (in poster presentation) this in patient who was taking raltegravir.
Purpose Medical students report higher levels of burnout, anxiety, and depression compared with age-matched peers. These mental health challenges have been linked to reduced workplace productivity, empathy, professionalism. Yet, experiencing issues often decide not access resources, citing limited time concerns about confidentiality, stigma, the cost private therapy. This study aimed provide a framework for understanding barriers medical face regarding resources. Method A constructivist...
Purpose To describe the outcome of surgical bleb revision for late-onset leaks after trabeculectomy. Patients and Methods Appropriate cases were identified. Qualified complete success required intraocular pressure 21 mm Hg or less with without glaucoma medication use, respectively. Bleb survival was determined using Kaplan-Meier analysis, overall rate defined as qualified at last follow-up. Preoperative postoperative ocular parameters compared signed-rank test. Age, sex, ethnicity, time...
Abstract Background Combination immune checkpoint blockade targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated 4 (CTLA-4) leads to high response rates improved survival in patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma (CM). Less is known about the efficacy of this combination acral lentiginous (ALM). Objectives To determine PD-1 CTLA-4 a diverse, real-world population ALM. Methods This multi-institutional retrospective study analysed histologically confirmed...
Pain is a prevalent symptom experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and appropriate management of pain an important element comprehensive care. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are known to be nephrotoxic in persons CKD.This study examined the pattern NSAID prescribing practices population based-cohort CKD.Retrospective cohort using linked population-based health care data.Entire province Alberta, Canada.All adults Alberta eGFR defined CKD G3 or greater between...
Plasma proteomics identified proteins in various immune pathways that may contribute to racial/ethnic disparities sepsis survival outcomes.
Adolescent and young adult oncology (AYAO) patients caregivers may experience significant psychosocial dysfunction financial toxicity. Understanding early risk factors is critical to improving survivorship trajectories.The authors conducted a cross-sectional study of baseline survey data from prospective cohort AYAO patient-caregiver dyads enrolled within 1 month medical treatment initiation. Posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) were measured by the Impacts Events Scale-Revised, toxicity was...
Background: Right heart failure (RHF) remains a dreaded complication after LVAD implantation and is associated with worse long-term outcomes. A comprehensive assessment of how pre-implantation factors are the development RHF invaluable to understanding, predicting, preventing this complication. Methods: The patient sample included all first-time implantations from 2008 2017 in Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS). total 186 pre-implant variables were...
