Objectives To explore the comparative effectiveness of partial nephrectomy ( PN ), radical RN ablative therapies (ablation) and active surveillance AS ) for small renal masses SRM s; tumour diameter ≤4.0 cm) in domains survival, function quality life QoL using prospectively maintained Delayed Intervention Surveillance Small Renal Masses DISSRM Registry. Patients Methods Estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR was calculated from creatinine values to determine function. measured Short Form...
Objectives To determine the performance of Prostate Health Index ( PHI ) density PHID combined with MRI and prior negative biopsy PNB status for diagnosis clinically significant prostate cancer PC a). Patients Methods without a a, elevated prostate‐specific antigen normal digital rectal examination who underwent testing prospectively to were included in this study. was calculated retrospectively using volume derived from transrectal ultrasonography at biopsy. Univariable multivariable...
357 Background: Overtreatment of prostate cancer is a public health concern and barrier to screening. In 2012 the US Preventative Task Force (USPTF) recommended against PSA screening citing overtreatment indolent disease, its associated morbidity, as major limitation safety widespread 2018 USPTF updated their recommendation should only be pursued after an individualized discussion with patient, emphasizing risk overtreatment. We sought evaluate rates surgical over last two decades. Methods:...
Infections are the most feared complication of transrectal prostate biopsies, along with growing concerns antibiotic resistance. Our institution transitioned to a transperineal approach without use perioperative antibiotics or bowel preparations. We aimed compare safety outcomes associated and biopsy techniques. A retrospective analysis patients who underwent biopsies at our from 2019-2022 was performed. identified 319 patients-174 145 transperineal. 8 had (5.5%) received peri-operative...
Medicare Advantage (MA) managed care plans, now chosen by 51% of beneficiaries, are incentivized to constrain healthcare spending and utilization, a shift in financial incentives compared Traditional Medicare's fee-for-service payment model. Beyond its primary MA's mechanisms utilization may impact beneficiaries with prostate cancer through "spillover" effects on physician behavior. From 20% sample claims, we identified patients diagnosed from 2016 2019. We calculated MA penetration [MA...
The experimental study of microwave-plasma interaction has been performed to demonstrate the transmission and attenuation microwaves in atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma. cold-collisional plasma produced at can absorb microwave energy because its complex dielectric constant. 10 GHz frequency was launched into measured as a function electron density, thickness, electron-neutral collision frequency, etc. It observed that significantly depends on density thickness. measurement also...
This article discusses the measurement of atomic oxygen (AO) concentrations in an discharge using a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM). is device that has been previously used for monitoring thin-film deposition, among several other applications. The sensor consists silver-coated quartz crystal oscillates at its specific resonant frequency (typically, about 6 MHz), which dependent on mass crystal. When exposed to AO, silver oxidizes rapidly, resulting change mass, and consequent this...
The Steady State Superconducting Tokamak (SST-1) is currently being refurbished in a mission mode at the Institute for Plasma Research with an ultimate objective of producing first plasma early 2012. Since January 2009, under SST-1 Mission mandate, broad spectrum refurbishment activities have been initiated and pursued on several subsystems SST-1. Developing sub-nano-ohm leak-tight joints magnet winding packs, developing single-phased LN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Approximately 7% of patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (PCa) in the US will have metastatic disease. The dogma that there is no role for surgery this population has been questioned recently. Here we report long-term outcomes a phase 1 clinical trial on cytoreductive radical prostatectomy.This multicenter trial. major inclusion criterion was biopsy proven N1M0 or NxM1a/b PCa. Primary end point Clavien-Dindo-based complication rate. Secondary were biochemical progression and overall...
Abstract Objective Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy among men and following a positive prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) screening test, patients may undergo more expensive diagnostic testing. However, testing‐related out‐of‐pocket costs (OOPCs), which preclude from completing process, have not been previously quantified. OOPCs for follow‐up testing (i.e., prostate biopsy and/or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) in with private insurance undergoing were estimated. Methods Men ages...
Objective To investigate the utility of ‘late’ pressure‐flow studies in predicting outcome prostatectomy for acute urinary retention. Patients and methods Fifty‐eight patients with retention were prospectively assessed using International Prostate Symptom Score at a median (range) 24 (13–60) days after episode retention, before transurethral resection prostate. Bladder outlet obstruction bladder contractility graded modified adaptation Schäfer's passive urethral linear resistance relation....
In this era of precision medicine, the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway has been shown to be a viable target intervention in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) as approximately one-third CRPC patients harbor DDR mutations. To determine whether is potential therapeutic localized disease, we analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) present study. TCGA publically available genome database that sponsored by United States National Institute. Total 455 cases were at time...
4588 Background: The use of partial nephrectomy (PN) to treat renal cell carcinoma has grown in the past decade, with expansion larger tumors. Performing PN for tumors may increase number patients up-staged pT3a after surgery, who have underwent radical (RN), if known preoperatively. We aimed estimate proportion T3a disease PN, stratified by size. also compared size-stratified survival those T1a, T1b, or T2 disease. Methods: From 1998 – 2013, we identified undergoing RN from Surveillance...
