Pancreatic cancer poses a substantial morbidity and mortality burden in the United States, predominantly affects older adults. The objective of this study was to estimate direct medical costs pancreatic treatment population-based cohort Medicare beneficiaries, contribution different modalities health care services total cost trends over time.In linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER)-Medicare database, patients were identified who aged 66 years or diagnosed from 2000 2007....
To determine the demographics and incidence of fractures in collegiate athletes.Retrospective review prospectively collected data.Division I athletes who sustained a fracture while enrolled at university from 1986 to 2000 were identified through training room records. Type location fracture, sport, gender, age, position, height, weight recorded analyzed. Team information was obtained athletic department records used calculate incidence.Between 2000, 5900 Division our institution 349 primary...
The purpose of this retrospective study was to measure interobserver agreement in the assessment malignant imaging features intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) on MDCT.Pancreatic protocol CT studies were reviewed for 84 patients with resected IPMNs. Maximal diameter dominant cyst, presence a mural nodule, solid component, and diameters main pancreatic duct (MPD) common bile (CBD) measured by four radiologists independently. In each patient, IPMN classified into one three types:...
Our previous case series suggested that a 1-week, low-calorie and low-fat diet was associated with decreased intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing liver surgery.The current study evaluates the effect of this randomized controlled trial.We randomly assigned 60 body mass index ≥25 kg/m(2) to no special or an 800-kcal, 20 g fat, 70 protein for 1 week before resection. Surgeons were blinded assignment. Hepatic glycogen stores evaluated using periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stains.Ninety...
Background Program signaling is an innovation that allows applicants to express interest in specific programs while providing the opportunity review genuinely interested during interview selection process. Objective To examine influence of program on “selected interview” status across specialties 2022 Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) application cycle. Methods Dermatology, general surgery-categorical (GS), and internal medicine-categorical (IM-C) participated section...
There has been much controversy regarding the accuracy of grading pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. The objectives this study were to evaluate whether according fraction Ki-67-positive tumor cells (the Ki-67 proliferation index) material from endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNA biopsies correlated with surgical resection specimens and minimum amount needed.A case series 27 PNETs corresponding at authors' institution evaluated. Tumors graded an...
The increasing use of computed tomography (CT) scans in the evaluation trauma patients has led to increased detection incidental radiologic findings. Incidental findings (IFs) abdominal viscera are among most commonly discovered lesions and can carry a risk malignancy. Despite this, patient notification regarding these is often inadequate.We identified who underwent abdominopelvic CTs as part their during recent 1-year period (9/2011-8/2012). Patients with IFs kidneys, liver, adrenal glands,...
