The GALAD score is a serum biomarker-based model that predicts the probability of having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver disease. We aimed to assess performance comparison ultrasound for detection HCC.A single-center cohort 111 HCC and 180 controls cirrhosis or hepatitis B multicenter 233 early 412 from Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) phase II Study were analyzed.The area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.95 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.93-97], which...
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a major risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). We investigated biliary and fecal microbiota to determine whether specific microbes in the bile or stool are associated with PSC CCA.Bile was obtained from 32 patients PSC, 23 CCA 26 without 17 controls. Over 90% of samples were perihilar CCA. Stool 31 (11 matched bile), 16 (10 11 (6 bile). Microbiota composition assessed using 16SrRNA-marker-based sequencing compared between groups.Bile has unique...
Abstract Introduction Despite a recent drive to increase diversity, the global academic workforce is skewed in favor of authors from high‐income countries, and women are under‐represented published medical literature. Objectives To explore trends authorship three high‐impact otolaryngology journals over ten‐year period (2011–2020). Methods Journals selected: JAMA Otolaryngology–Head Neck Surgery , The Laryngoscope Rhinology. Articles were reviewed four issues per journal year, data was...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and a rising cancer in U.S. Liver cirrhosis major risk factor for HCC. Surveillance persons with facilitates early detection improves outcomes. We assessed surveillance rate HCC within academic health system identified factors influencing surveillance.We examined using liver ultrasound, CT, or MRI, cohort 369 Minnesota residents seen at Mayo Clinic between 2007 2009.Ninety-three percent...
Background: In the United States, hepatocellular carcinoma is ninth leading cause of cancer mortality. Hepatocellular disproportionately affects individuals African ancestry with rates being higher amongst foreign-born ancestry. This study explored knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward viral hepatitis transmission, screening, vaccination among recent immigrants in Minnesota identify ways to improve early detection screening methods. Methods: A community based participatory research...
Abstract Introduction Surgical techniques for sellar reconstruction include no reconstruction, use of synthetic materials, autologous grafts, and/or vascularized flaps. The aim this study was to conduct a multi‐center comparing the efficacy and postoperative morbidity associated with different techniques. Methods A retrospective chart review patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery pituitary tumors from five participating sites between January 2021 March 2023 performed....
Objective To evaluate the impact of methotrexate and rituximab therapy on highly recurrent idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) patients with a negative antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody titer cANCA(−). Methods This was retrospective cohort study iSGS who recurred within 1 year or less were treated (MTX), (RTX), combination both at different time points (MTX/RTX). Average surgical durations before after drug treatment summarized, differences calculated. Results A total 21 female median...
In this article, we propose a complete framework devoted to detect liver HCC (Hepato-Cellular Carcinoma) tumors within DCE-MRI (Dynamic Contrast Enhanced-MRI) sequences. Our system employs different phases of these hepatic image sequences (depending on time after contrast agent injection) describe local patches with wavelet-based descriptors. By using SVM (Support Vector Machine)-based classification, are able distinguish healthy from pathological ones. Moreover, thanks parallel processing...
To explore the impact of female sex on experiences trainees and surgeons in otolaryngology from LMIC HIC.This study includes perspectives five consultants two resident physicians United States, Kingdom, Uganda, Kenya South Africa.Six themes emerged these interviews. Overall, HIC women shared similar microaggressions during patients, working along ancillary staff, related to pregnancy, imposter syndrome, difficulties job search, unique barriers as consultant.The findings this highlight that...
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) infections are known risk factors for liver disease, cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There is substantial global variation in HBV HCV prevalence resulting variations HCC. We previously reported high of Somali immigrants seen at an academic medical center Minnesota.
Introduction: Surgical techniques for sellar reconstruction vary from no of the sella, use synthetic materials, autologous grafts and/or vascularized flaps. This study is first comprehensive multicenter that attempts to identify most efficient and least morbid surgical approach reconstruction. The aim this was conduct a comparing efficacy postoperative morbidity associated with different techniques.
To evaluate the impact of age on disease recurrence in idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) patients.
Abstract Objective To compare reflux symptoms, Zenker's diverticulum recurrence, and clinical outcomes in patients with without a history of hiatal hernia who underwent diverticulotomy (ZD). Study Design Single institution retrospective review. Setting Tertiary care academic hospital. Methods A review ZD via an open stapler, rigid endoscopic CO 2 laser, or harmonic scalpel technique from January 2006 to December 2020 was performed. Data were abstracted for patient demographics, rates adverse...
Abstract Introduction Several diagnostic modalities with various sensitivity and specificities can be used to evaluate a parotid mass. The aims of this project were compare the actionability, accuracy, ability accurately predict extent surgery for FNA frozen section during evaluation Methods A retrospective chart review patients who underwent parotidectomy mass from January 1, 2015 30, 2022 was conducted. Actionability defined as pathology diagnosis or histologic grade lesion, provided clear...
Abstract Background: The rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in the US is partly due to increased immigration from sub-Saharan Africa. Viral hepatitis prevalent Africa, resulting ~20% all cases worldwide. Community-based education and screening efforts aimed at identifying viral among African immigrants will likely reduce burden carcinoma. Aim: To determine knowledge, attitudes behaviors (KAB) Liberian Kenyan residing Minnesota about B virus C screening, vaccination, acquisition,...
INTRODUCTION: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, fibroinflammatory, cholestatic liver disease of unknown etiopathogenesis which recognized as major risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). We aimed to investigate the roles biliary and intestinal microflora in inflammatory process PSC determine if associated with progression CCA. METHODS: studied bile stool microbiomes samples obtained from patients (31 35 samples), sporadic CCA (11 26 coexisting (16 17 samples). Control was...
Abstract Background: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the 6th most common cancer and 2nd leading cause of cancer-related mortality in world. Sub-Saharan Africa Eastern Asia are regions endemic for viral hepatitis, accounting 80% all HCC cases worldwide. A recent hospital-based study assessing frequency hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV), among Somali immigrants seen at Mayo Clinic determined adjusted HBsAg positivity was 10-fold higher anti-HCV 3-fold as compared to non-Somali residents Olmsted...
