A BSTRACT Introduction: It has been well reported that medical students do not follow healthy diets overall. Effectively guiding patients to change their health behavior is a crucial skill for primary care providers and family physicians. Our objective was investigate students’ dietary decision-making, including the motivations barriers influence choices. Methods: self-administered online questionnaire conducted among preclinical at one allopathic school in United States. The survey...
Abstract Background Few data support use of 6 over 3 months antiviral prophylaxis for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease prevention in donor seropositive/recipient seronegative (D+R−) heart transplant recipients (HTR). Methods We retrospectively assessed CMV and outcomes 310 adult HTR between July 5, 2005, December 30, 2016, at our center. Valganciclovir (VGCV) was given 3‐6 the D+R− group. Multivariable models evaluated risk factors patients who received vs (±1 month) prophylaxis, with...
Marital status has been shown to have protective effects for married patients with various cancers. We sought determine of marital on perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL). retrospectively analyzed 709 consecutive who underwent RAPL between 2010 and 2022 by one surgeon. Patients were stratified at time surgery. The Married group included married, domestically partnered, co-habitating (N=473). Unmarried never divorced, widowed individuals (N=236)....
Abstract Background Women have a higher prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and present at more advanced stages as compared with men. Given the high operative mortality associated valve (TV) surgery, transcatheter interventions (TTVI) emerged promising treatment option. We explored sex‐based differences among patients significant TR who would be expected to eligible for TTVI. Methods Between March 2021–2022, 12,677 unique adult underwent transthoracic echocardiogram our tertiary care...
Background: The blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) is an emerging prognostic parameter of interest. utility BAR as a factor has not been analyzed in lung cancer patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy. We evaluated the ability High predict worse outcomes after robotic-assisted lobectomy (RAPL) for cancer. Methods: retrospectively 400 who underwent RAPL from September 2010 March 2022 by one surgeon. Patients were stratified Low (<6.25 mg/g) and (≥6.25 mg/g). Patients’...
The COVID-19 pandemic presented patients with barriers to receiving healthcare. We sought determine whether changes in healthcare access and practice during the affected perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL).We retrospectively analyzed 721 consecutive who underwent RAPL. With March 1st, 2020, defining start of pandemic, we grouped 638 as "PreCOVID-19" 83 "COVID-19-Era" based on surgical date. Demographics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics,...
Outcomes of lung cancer patients traveling greater distances for surgical oncology care are not well-described. We investigated the effects increased travel burden after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL) cancer. Clinical characteristics and outcomes 711 consecutive who underwent RAPL from September 2010 to March 2022 were compared, stratified by primary residential ZIP code <160 km or ≥160 center. Of study patients, 515 (72.4%) lived within 160 196 (27.6%) away. There no...
ABSTRACT Background More than moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high mortality. Surgical valve repair and replacements are rarely performed due to operative mortality risk, mainly attributed late presentation. Novel transcatheter intervention (TTVI) devices being developed as an alternative surgery. The population of patients presenting tertiary care centers who can benefit from TTVI has not been well defined. Our objective was study the characteristics these define...
