Recent randomized prospective data suggest that early hyperglycemia is associated with excess mortality in critically ill patients, and tight glucose control leads to improved outcome. This concept has not been carefully examined trauma the relationship of from sepsis this population unclear. The objective study was determine different levels blood elevation outcome a ICU population.The records all patients admitted over 2-year period at Level I center were reviewed for age, injury severity...
We prospectively analysed the epidemiology of acetabular fractures over a period 16 years in order to identify changes their incidence or other demographic features. Our study cohort comprised consecutive series 351 patients with admitted single institution between January 1988 and December 2003. There was no significant change overall fractures, which remained at 3 patients/100 000/year. was, however, reduction number men sustaining an fracture (p < 0.02). The resulting from falls height 10...
The 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines recommended thyroid lobectomy (TL) as an alternative to total thyroidectomy (TT) for the surgical treatment of low-risk differentiated cancer. Increasing use TL has since been reported despite concerns increased risk disease recurrence and need reoperation. This study sought compare reoperation rates among patients who underwent initial or TT malignancy, characterize trends at centers based on operative volume, examine factors associated with
Introduction 2%-10% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) who undergo parathyroidectomy develop persistent/recurrent disease. The aim this study was to determine which preoperative localization method is most cost-effective in reoperative PHPT. Methods Clinical decision analytic models comparing cost-effectiveness localizing studies PHPT were constructed using TreeAge Pro. Cost and probability assumptions varied via Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis (PSA) test the robustness...
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), also historically known as carcinoids, are derived of hormone-secreting enteroendocrine cells. Carcinoids may be found in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, rectum, or pancreas. The biologic behavior carcinoids differs based on their location, with gastric and appendiceal NETs among least aggressive intestinal pancreatic most aggressive. Ultimately, however, is heavily influenced by tumor grade. incidence has...
Abstract Background Outcomes after adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) are variable. The aldosteronoma resolution score (ARS) uses preoperative variables to calculate a that identifies those more likely have of hypertension adrenalectomy. We aim determine the efficacy and whether ARS accurately predicts clinical success Black Hispanic population. Methods reviewed who underwent for PA from 2004 2018 at two academic centers treating primarily patients. Postoperative...
Abstract Background The effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic on surgical oncology practice are not yet quantified. aim this study was to measure immediate impact COVID‐19 volume. Methods A retrospective patients treated at an NCI‐Comprehensive Cancer Center performed. “Pre‐COVID” era defined as January–February 2020 and “COVID” March–April 2020. Primary outcomes were clinic visits operative volume by subspecialty. Results Abouyt 907 new patient visits, 3897 follow‐up...
e17029 Background: Obesity is a risk factor for number of solid organ tumors, including breast and ovarian cancer. Potential mechanisms the effect obesity include elevated blood levels estrogen in obese patients, which stimulate receptors on hormone sensitive tumors. Thyroid cancers, which, like cancer show female predominance, may also be sensitive. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that women would have more aggressive thyroid correlate with receptor (ER) status. Methods: enrolled 164 patients...
Abstract Background The Bethesda System standardized the reporting of thyroid cytopathology and created categories to provide an estimation a nodule's risk malignancy. There are limited data describing their utility in different racial‐ethnic groups. Methods A retrospective chart review fine‐needle aspirations (FNA) was performed within our health‐care systems. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative values (NPVs) were calculated for total cohort, Results...
Although well described in the current literature, Neurocysticercosis [NCC] remains an enigma when confronted by practitioners. This is part due to haphazard nature of parasitic infection on central nervous system [CNS]. These include single or multiple anatomic sites infection, stage parasitosis, and resultant inflammatory response. As a result, NCC can present with complex constellation symptomatic presentations, making therapeutic regiments highly individualized. Despite intervention,...
