Dose-dense (DD) regimens of combination chemotherapy may produce superior clinical outcomes, but the basis for these effects are not completely clear. In this study, we assessed whether a DD combinatorial regimen low-dose cisplatin and paclitaxel produces immune-mediated efficacy when compared with maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer as modeled mice. Immune responses generated by were identified regard to immune cell subset responsible antitumor...
Barrier organs rely on a limited set of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect diverse immunogenic challenges. How assess threats and adjust immune responses balance host protection with collateral tissue damage remains unclear. Here, by analyzing influenza infection in the lung using single-molecule imaging spatial transcriptomics, we discovered tiered threat-sensing strategy at scale, where probability detecting responding is lowest outermost epithelia highest inner stroma. This...
The liver transplantation (LT) population is aging, with the need for transplant being driven by growing prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Older LT recipients NASH may be at an increased risk adverse outcomes after LT. Our objective to characterize in these a large multicenter cohort. All primary ≥65 years from 2010 2016 13 centers Re‐Evaluating Age Limits Transplantation (REALT) consortium were included. Of 1023 recipients, 226 (22.1%) over 70 old, and 207 (20.2%) had NASH....
The potency of immunotherapies targeting endogenous tumor antigens is hindered by immune tolerance. We created a therapeutic agent comprised tumor-homing module fused to functional domain capable selectively rendering cells sensitive foreign antigen-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated attack, and thereby, circumventing concerns for single-chain variable fragment (scFv) that specifically binds mesothelin (Meso), which commonly overexpressed in human cancers, including ovarian tumors. the Fc portion...
Most case series describing surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) after radical cystectomy (RC) focus on transvaginal repairs. We present our experience of POP RC repaired by abdominal mesh sacrocolpopexy (ASC) with long-term follow-up.Two women previous ileal conduit diversion underwent open ASC apical concomitant enterocele. Prolapse severity was assessed using the quantification staging system, whereas imaging performed magnetic resonance defecography.One patient had no...
To study the evolution of type presenting symptoms after mid-urethral sling (MUS) placement relative to interval between and subsequent synthetic removal (SSR) for complication(s).An IRB-approved, prospectively maintained database women who underwent SSR was retrospectively reviewed demographics, MUS SSR, history chronic pain syndromes recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI), anti-incontinence prolapse repairs, MUS-related at presentation, including storage dysfunction, voiding RUTI,...

Objective This study reports on the long‐term results of transurethral endoscopic excision using Holmium laser (TEEH) for large urethral perforation (UP; defined as involving one‐quarter or more circumference) from synthetic slings. Methods Charts women treated with TEEH UP were reviewed. was performed a 365‐μm fiber passed inside an open‐ended ureteral catheter positioned in holmium enucleation prostate (HoLEP) sheath to stabilize fiber. Data extracted included patient demographics,...
We sought to determine the types and frequency of presenting symptoms in women undergoing suburethral mid urethral sling removal improve outcome reporting after removal.Following institutional review board approval who underwent 1 were evaluated for their correlation with UDI-6 (Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form) questionnaire. Demographic data recorded. Patient reported categorized into 5 domains, including storage symptoms, voiding pain, recurrent urinary tract infections or...
Objectives Obstructing ureteral stones complicated by urinary tract infection are urologic emergencies that require prompt decompression. We explore the association of pregnancy with rates and delays in decompression a cohort women reproductive age. Methods Using National Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2015, cross‐sectional, descriptive analysis age (15 44 years old) diagnosed obstructing was performed stratified status. Survey‐weighted regression models were used assess on decompression,...
