Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common neurovascular lesions caused by loss-of-function mutations in 1 of 3 genes, including KRIT1 (CCM1), CCM2, and PDCD10 (CCM3), generally regarded as an endothelial cell-autonomous disease. Here we reported that proliferative astrocytes played a critical role CCM pathogenesis serving major source VEGF during lesion formation. An increase astrocyte synthesis is driven nitric oxide (NO) generated consequence KLF2- KLF4-dependent elevation eNOS...

<h3>Importance</h3> The association of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) with insurance status cancer stage at diagnosis among patients renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To test hypothesis that ACA may be associated increased access to care through expansion insurance, which vary based on income. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort analysis included diagnosed RCC from January 1, 2010, December 31, 2016, in National...
Most transoral robotic surgery (TORS) literature for HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV-OPC) derives from high-volume tertiary-care centers. This study aims to describe long-term recurrence and survival outcomes among Veterans Health Administration patients.
Importance Tracheotomies are frequently performed by nonotolaryngology services. The factors that determine which specialty performs the procedure not defined in literature but may be influenced tracheotomy approach (open vs percutaneous) and other clinicodemographic factors. Objective To evaluate demographic clinical characteristics associated with tracheotomies otolaryngologists compared specialists to differentiate those from use of open percutaneous tracheotomy. Design, Setting,...
Purpose: HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma (HPV-OPC) is increasingly treated with primary surgery. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends adjuvant therapy for surgically HPV-OPC displaying adverse pathological features (AF). We evaluated radiotherapy patterns and outcomes in AF-positive (AF-HPV-OPC). Methods: Database was interrogated patients ≥ 18 years early-stage from 2010 to 2017 who underwent definitive resection. Patients that had an NCCN-defined AF indication...

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a hands‐on simulation‐based course with emphasis on procedural techniques, clinical reasoning, and communication skills developed improve junior Otolaryngology – Head Neck Surgery (OHNS) residents' preparedness in managing otolaryngologic emergencies. Methods Junior OHNS residents faculty from residency programs California, Nevada, Arizona participated this workshop 2020 2021. The stations featured airway management...

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common brain vascular malformationsprone to acute and chronic hemorrhage with significant clinical sequelae. The pathogenesis of recurrent bleeding in CCM is incompletely understood. We sought identify the molecular mechanism that contributes CCMs. Using human tissue obtained at surgery we detected high protein mRNA levels two major anticoagulant endothelial receptors, thrombomodulin (TM) C receptor (EPCR) as assessed by immunostaining laser...
281 Background: We aimed to determine whether insurance expansions implemented through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) were associated with changes in coverage status, stage at diagnosis, overall survival for patients renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods: identified 40 64 years old diagnosed RCC between 2010 2016 National Cancer Database. States categorized as participating on time Medicaid expansion or not participating. stratified into advanced cancer (stage III + IV)...
