Loneliness is a well-established risk factor for poor physical health. Much less known about how loneliness affects patient-reported outcomes (PROs), such as somatic symptoms, which are increasingly important guiding symptom management and assessing quality of patient care. The current study investigates whether (a) social isolation predict cold symptoms independent each other, (b) more robust than objective experiencing symptoms.
Abstract Background With the rising incidence of melanoma in situ ( MIS ) or cutaneous melanoma, there is an increasing emphasis on need to understand optimal treatment strategies. The current standard surgical care wide local excision WLE ). Alternative techniques have been proposed including Mohs micrographic surgery MMS We aimed compare survival rates following versus for . Methods performed a retrospective analysis Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results SEER cancer registry. 24,515...
Background: Various surgical options can be used to remove melanoma in situ (MIS). These include wide local excision (WLE), staged excision, and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). For MIS lesions located the head neck regions, WLE approach may not always a technically feasible option if both cosmesis anatomical function is preserved.Methods: We performed retrospective analysis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEERs) cancer registry. A total 7933 cases region were included this...
To investigate the association between early lifetime substance use on development of severe visual acuity impairment or blindness a national level.National Survey Drug Use and Health data was used to identify cases before 21* years age, within past year, self-reported impairment. Univariable multivariable binary logistic regression with time-dependency performed evaluate odds influenced by 16 substances separated into three classes: prescription, non-prescription, illicit drugs. Adjusted...

Evaluate incidence of second primary malignancies (SPM) after non-acral cutaneous melanoma (NACM), acral lentiginous (ALM), mucosal (MM), and uveal (UM).First NACM, ALM, MM, UM cases diagnosed 2000-2016 were extracted from SEER. Seer*Stat was used to calculate excess absolute risks (EAR) standardized ratios (SIR) SPMs relative a matched cohort the general population. P-value 0.05 determined significance.Inclusion criteria met by 109,385 patients with 2166 2498 6250 UM. Increased occurred...
An ocular or periocular malignancy can profoundly impact patients' lives as they cope with the challenges of a potentially life-threatening diagnosis and exhaustive treatment process it entails. amalgam biopsychosocial factors influence prognosis. This study aims to determine whether marital status impacts long-term survival patients these malignancies.A retrospective analysis Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database was performed. Patients malignancies diagnosed between 1973...
Abstract Background Although studies have investigated the risk of second primary malignancies (SPMs) associated with lymphoma various sites, limited this in patients originating within ocular adnexa. We conducted a retrospective study to assess incidence secondary prior diagnosis adnexal (OAL) and determine latency periods age-groups at increased for SPM occurrence. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on data obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) 9 database....
Background: The prevalence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is rising with the global obesity epidemic. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs), such as acetazolamide, have been shown to be effective in IIH but can also lead kidney stone formation. This study evaluates risk development patients treated CAIs. Methods: A retrospective cohort using TriNetX database was performed compare CAIs vs. untreated controls. Propensity score matching (PSM) balanced demographic and clinical...
