A total of 601 patients who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer at our institution was followed with serial prostatic specific antigen (PSA) determinations. Three separate groups were delineated by pathological stage: 293 organ confined disease, 215 involvement the capsule or positive margins and 93 extension to seminal vesicles. Followup ranged from 12 237 months (median 34). Five 10-year disease-free survival rates 86 +/- 2% 78 3%, respectively. The...

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in the elderly has a higher prevalence, greater morbidity and mortality, lower response to conventional treatment than general population. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is highly effective therapy for CDI but not been studied specifically elderly. This study aims determine long-term efficacy safety of FMT recurrent (RCDI), severe (SCDI), complicated (CCDI) patients.A multicenter, follow-up was performed with demographic, pre-FMT, post-FMT data...
PURPOSE: To analyze the experience with nephron-sparing surgery as a treatment modality for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

A matched group 125 who radical same institution between 1986 1997 were selected comparison.

Partial or total replacement of the ureter by small intestine was performed at University California/Los Angeles Hospital and affiliated hospitals 94 times in 92 patients from 1954 to 1978. Indications included recurrent calculi, ureteral stricture, fistula, congenital obstruction carcinoma with a solitary kidney. A special use has been for undiversion an ileal conduit.

Five hundred four shunt procedures have been done at Emory University Hospitals between 1971 and 1981 to decompress bleeding esophageal varices. This paper reviews how far the experiences of a prospective randomized study (55 patients) distal splenorenal shunts against total is supported by nonrandomized experience (449 patients), outlines our current methods management dictated this experience. The overall operative mortality for 348 selective 4.1%, 156 nonselective shunts, 14.1%. five-year...

At dose C a maximal urinary (MRUE) is reached, which averages 55 and persists for 16 Higher doses do not further accelerate excretion, but prolong duration MRUE to 28 h (after E). Blood (BUN)...
In 1971 a prospective, randomized trial was initiated to determine efficacy of the distal splenorenal shunt in management cirrhotic patients who had previously bled from esophageal varices. When entry into terminated 1976, 26 received (selective) and 29 undergone nonselective shunting procedure (18 interposition mesorenal, six mesocaval, five other shunts).

From 1971 to 1975, 55 patients with variceal bleeding secondary cirrhosis were entered into a prospective randomized trial comparing distal splenorenal (selective) and H-graft interposition (nonselective) shunt. This 10-year follow-up documents that selective shunt is better (p less than 0.05) in four of the five variables monitored. Control bleeding: prevented due higher (0.05 p 0.1) occlusion rate (30%) Selective maintained postoperative portal perfusion 0.01) patent Seventy-five per cent...

Goal: Our aim was to investigate fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) efficacy in patients with severe and/or complicated Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Background: FMT is successful for recurrent CDI, although its benefit or CDI has not specifically been evaluated. Study Methods: A multicenter long-term follow-up study performed who received (diagnosed using standard criteria). Pre-FMT and post-FMT questionnaires were completed. outcomes included cure rates time resolution of...
