In evolutionary psychology predictions, women’s mate preferences shift between fertile and nonfertile times of the month to reflect ancestral fitness benefits. Our meta-analytic test involving 58 independent reports (13 unpublished, 45 published) was largely nonsupportive. Specifically, women did not especially desire sex in short-term relationships with men purported be high genetic quality (i.e., testosterone, masculinity, dominance, symmetry). The few significant preference shifts...
Antireflux surgery with a magnetic sphincter augmentation device (MSAD) restores the competency of lower esophageal rather than tissue fundoplication. As regulated device, safety information from published clinical literature can be supplemented by tracking under Safe Medical Devices Act. The aim this study was to examine profile MSAD in first 1000 implanted patients. We compiled data all available sources as July 1, 2013. analysis included intra/perioperative complications, hospital...
Implementation of lung cancer screening programs is occurring across the United States. Programs vary in approaches to patient identification and shared decision-making. The eligibility persons referred programs, outcomes determination during decision-making, potential for electronic medical record (EMR) identify eligible individuals have not been well described.Our objectives were assess compare information extracted from EMR derived a decision-making conversation screening.We performed...
Background and AimsGERD patients frequently complain of regurgitation gastric contents. Medical therapy with proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) is ineffective in alleviating symptoms, because PPIs do nothing to restore a weak lower esophageal sphincter. Our aim was compare effectiveness increased PPI dosing laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) moderate-to-severe despite once-daily therapy.MethodsOne hundred fifty-two GERD, aged ≥21 years 8 weeks therapy, were prospectively enrolled...
Objective The use of robotic lung surgery has increased dramatically despite being a new, costly technology with undefined benefits over standard care. There is paucity published comparative articles justifying its or cost. Furthermore, outcomes regarding resection are either from single institutions in-house historical comparisons based on limited numbers. We compared consecutive anatomic resections performed at two matched data Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database for all open...
Regurgitative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) refractive to medical treatment is common and caused by mechanical failure of the anti-reflux barrier. We compared effects magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) with those proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) in a randomized trial.Patients moderate severe regurgitation (assessed foregut symptom questionnaire) despite once-daily PPI therapy (n = 152) were randomly assigned groups given twice-daily PPIs 102) or laparoscopic MSA 50) at 20 sites,...
A definitive diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) depends on endoscopic and/or pH-study criteria. However, high resolution manometry (HRM) can identify factors predicting GERD, such as ineffective esophageal motility (IEM), esophago-gastric junction contractile integral (EGJ-CI), evaluating esophagogastric (EGJ) type and straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver response. We aimed to build externally validate a manometric score (Milan Score) stratify the risk severity in patients...
We examined donor site morbidity in thirty-nine patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head treated by curettage and transplantation a free ipsilateral fibular graft. Utilising our questionnaire, scar, functional loss, wound healing, complications, pain were analysed. Subjective complaints objective findings evaluated compared. common included sense instability 42% weakness 37%. However, limited. No clinical could be elicited only great toe flexion (29%) extension (43%) found to...
Background: It is hypothesized that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) increase the risk of HIV acquisition. Yet difficulties establishing an accurate temporal relation and controlling confounders have obscured this relationship. In attempt to overcome prior methodologic shortcomings, we explored use different study designs examine relationship between STDs Methods: Acutely HIV-infected patients were included as cases compared with (1) HIV-uninfected (matched case-control), (2) newly...
