To evaluate the relationship between surgeon volume of radical cystectomy (RC) and postoperative morbidity, to assess economic burden bladder cancer in USA.We captured all patients who underwent RC (International Classification Diseases, ninth revision, code 57.71) 2003 2010, using a nationwide hospital discharge database. Patient, surgical characteristics were evaluated. The annual RCs performed by surgeons was divided into quintiles. Multivariable regression models developed, adjusting for...
Prepectoral breast reconstruction is increasingly popular. This study compares complications between 2 subpectoral and 1 prepectoral technique.Between 2008 2015, 294 two-staged expander reconstructions in 213 patients were performed with of 3 surgical techniques: (1) Prepectoral, (2) acellular dermal matrix (ADM) sling ("Classic"), or (3) subpectoral/subserratus placement without ADM ("No ADM"). Demographics, comorbidities, radiation therapy, chemotherapy assessed for correlation Clavien...
This retrospective study furthers our understanding of risk factors associated with hemorrhage and intervention in renal angiomyolipomas (R-AMLs), particularly larger tumors (≥ 4 cm) childbearing-age (CBA; younger than 50 years) women. The objective was to refine stratification optimize patient management. Review institutional database identified patients radiographic R-AML from 1997 2023. Patient characteristics, clinical course were collected. Patients grouped by management trajectories...

Objective: This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of delivering Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) to veterans with moral injury co-occurring PTSD substance use disorder (PTSD-SUD). Methods: Veterans (N = 26; M age 50.92; 100% male) were recruited for an 8-week MSC group. Participants completed measures self-compassion, guilt, shame, PTSD, outcomes at baseline, post-treatment, one-month post-treatment. Results: The recruitment target was easily met, dropout rates low (30.8%) a...

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is standard-of-care for advanced prostate cancer. Studies have generally found increased cardiovascular risks associated with ADT, but the comparative risk of newer agents under-characterized. We defined cardiac abiraterone and enzalutamide, using gonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists to establish baseline ADT risk.We used VigiBase, World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, identify adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in a cohort taking GnRH...
AR-V7, a ligand independent splice variant of androgen receptor, may support the growth castration resistant prostate cancer and have prognostic value. Another variant, AR-V1, interferes with AR-V7 activity. We investigated whether or V1 expression would predict biochemical recurrence in men at indeterminate (about 50%) risk for progression following radical prostatectomy.AR-V7 transcripts mixed grade cohort 53 whom contained 30% to 70% Gleason 4/5 3 only 52 were measured using branched...
To determine the utility of allergy evaluation in patients with chronic refractory laryngeal symptoms.Case series chart review.Tertiary academic medical center.All who underwent vitro testing at a single institution from 2006 to 2010, for total 998 patients.Charts were identified. The charts reviewed primary indication testing, as categorized into rhinitis complaints, sinusitis, otitis media, and symptoms (globus, cough, throat clearing, increased secretions, hoarseness). Results tests...
Treatment options for many cancers include immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy and combination therapy with impressive clinical benefit across cancers. We sought to define the comparative cardiac risks of ICI monotherapy.We used VigiBase, World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, identify ADRs (cADRs), such as carditis, heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, valvular dysfunction, related therapy. To explore possible relationships, we reporting odds ratio...
Hypoxia is an important characteristic of the solid tumor microenvironment and constitutes a barrier for effective radiotherapy. Here, we studied effects darinaparsin (an arsenic cytotoxin) on survival radiosensitivity cells in vitro under normoxia hypoxia vivo using xenograft models, compared to normal tissues.The cytotoxicity radiosensitization were first tested variety cell lines both with trioxide (ATO, arsenical reported cytotoxic radiosensitizing activities cells). The then mouse...
Abstract Background Effective eradication of high-risk primary prostate cancer (HRPCa) could significantly decrease mortality from cancer. However, the discovery curative therapies for HRPCa is hampered by lack authentic preclinical models. Methods We improved upon tumorgraft models that have been shown to predict drug response in other types implanting thin, precision-cut slices under renal capsule immunodeficient mice. Tissue slice grafts (TSGs) 6 cases were established Following androgen...

Abstract Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant source of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing common oncologic procedures. We sought to estimate the effect surgical approach on risk developing VTE. Methods IBM Watson Health Marketscan Database was used conduct this retrospective study. In total, 12 938 who underwent either radical prostatectomy, partial colectomy, or hysterectomy via minimally invasive open approach. propensity‐weighted logistic...
