Introduction Nonoperative management is presently considered the treatment modality of choice in over 50% adult patients sustaining blunt hepatic trauma who meet inclusion criteria. A multicenter study was retrospectively undertaken to assess whether combined experiences at level I centers could validate currently reported high success rate, low morbidity, and virtually nonexistent mortality associated with this approach. Thirteen accrued 404 injuries managed nonoperatively last 5 years....
Purpose Underuse of adjuvant therapy is a potentially important and remediable explanation for the inferior survival minority women with breast cancer. We sought to measure racial disparity in underuse treatments early-stage cancer identify associated factors. Methods Cross-sectional study review all inpatient outpatient medical records 677 treated surgically primary American Joint Committee on Cancer stage I or II 1999 2000. was defined as omissions radiation after breast-conserving...
The recognition that splenectomy renders patients susceptible to lifelong risks of septic complications has led routine attempts at splenic conservation after trauma. In 1990, the authors reported over an 11-year study period involving 193 patients, splenorrhaphy was most common salvage method (66% overall) noted, with nonoperative management employed in only 13% blunt injuries. This report describes changing patterns therapy 190 consecutive injuries seen during a subsequent 6-year (1990...
Purpose To report the clinical feasibility of a trial accelerated whole-breast intensity modulated radiotherapy, with patient in prone position, optimally to spare heart and lung. Patients Methods stages I or II breast cancer, excised by conserving surgery negative margins, were eligible for this institutional review board–approved prospective trial. Computed tomography simulation was performed on dedicated board, exact position used treatment. A dose 40.5 Gy, delivered at 2.7 Gy 15...
Many breast cancer survivors have coexistent chronic diseases or comorbidities at the time of their diagnosis. The purpose study was to evaluate association on survivors' quality life. A prospective design used recruit 140 women before surgery, 134 completed study. Comorbidities were assessed using self-report and verified by medical record review Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) 12-month after surgery. Quality life evaluated Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36 v2). Descriptive statistics,...
Severe blunt trauma to the torso can result in diaphragmatic disruption. Prompt recognition of this potentially life-threatening injury is difficult when initial chest roentgenogram unrevealing and immediate thoracotomy or celiotomy not performed. This retrospective study was undertaken to: (1) determine incidence missed injuries on evaluation; (2) identify factors contributing diagnostic delays; (3) formulate a approach that reliably detects rupture following trauma.Retrospective review...
Abstract: This study compared the analgesic efficacy of postoperative lavender oil aromatherapy in 50 patients undergoing breast biopsy surgery. Twenty‐five received supplemental oxygen through a face mask with two drops 2% postoperatively. The remainder no oil. Outcome variables included pain scores (a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10) at 5, 30, and 60 minutes postoperatively, narcotic requirements postanesthesia care unit (PACU), patient satisfaction control, as well time discharge PACU....
Breast cancer-related lymphedema is a syndrome of abnormal swelling coupled with multiple symptoms resulting from obstruction or disruption the lymphatic system associated cancer treatment. Research has demonstrated that increased number reported, breast survivors' limb volume increased. Lymphedema in affected may indicate latent stage which changes cannot be detected by objective measures. The exist months years before overt occurs. Symptom report play an important role detecting clinical...
Background: Many women suffer from daily distressing symptoms related to lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. Lymphedema, an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid in the ipsilateral body area or upper limb, remains ongoing major health problem affecting more than 40% 3.1 million survivors United States. Patient-centered care symptom management is often inadequately addressed clinical research and practice. mHealth plays a significant role improving self-care, patient-clinician...
Abstract Context.—Both atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) and carcinoma in situ (LCIS) have traditionally been considered to be risk factors for the development of invasive are followed by close observation. Recent studies suggested that these lesions may represent true precursors with progression carcinoma. Due debate over significance small number cases reported literature, treatment neoplasia diagnosed percutaneous core biopsy (PCB) remains controversial. Objective.—To review our...

Nipple-sparing mastectomy has gained popularity, but the question remains of whether it can be offered safely to women with a history reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy. The authors present their experience nipple-sparing in this patient population.Patients at authors' institution who had mastopexy before were identified. Outcomes measured include nipple-areola complex viability, flap necrosis, infection, presence cancer complex, and breast recurrence.The records patients from 2006 through...
Background: In the digital era when mHealth has emerged as an important venue for health care, application of computer science, such machine learning, proven to be a powerful tool care in detecting or predicting various medical conditions by providing improved accuracy over conventional statistical expert-based systems. Symptoms are often indicators abnormal changes body functioning due illness side effects from treatment. Real-time symptom report refers symptoms that patients experiencing...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for more effective immunization programs, including in limited resource settings. This paper presents outcomes and lessons learnt from a vaccination campaign (VC), which used tailored adaptive strategy to optimise vaccine uptake Boeny region of Madagascar. Methods Guided by Dynamic Sustainability Framework (DSF), VC implementation was regularly reviewed through multi-sectoral stakeholder feedback, key informant interviews,...
Background Breast conserving surgery represents the preferred surgical treatment option for patients with early-stage breast cancer. Reexcision rates are generally higher undergoing lumpectomies ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) compared to invasive cancer, as microscopic extent of disease is difficult assess during excision. This study investigated clinicopathological characteristics BCS pure DCIS and reexcision over time, including effect MarginProbe™ device. Methods We queried our...
