Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women United States. An estimated 213,380 new cases (114,760 98,620 women) lung bronchus will be diagnosed 2007, 160,390 deaths (89,510 men, 70,880 are to occur because disease. Non-small cell (NSCLC) accounts for 80% 85% all includes 3 major types: (1) adenocarcinoma; (2) squamous (epidermoid) carcinoma; (3) large-cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma most common type seen States also frequently occurring nonsmokers....
Researchers increasingly use meta-analysis to synthesize the results of several studies in order estimate a common effect. When outcome variable is continuous, standard meta-analytic approaches assume that primary report sample mean and deviation outcome. However, when skewed, authors sometimes summarize data by reporting median one or both (i) minimum maximum values (ii) first third quartiles, but do not deviation. To include these meta-analysis, methods have been developed from reported...
The spontaneous prognostic factors and optimal therapeutic strategy for WHO Grade II gliomas (GIIGs) have yet to be unanimously defined. Specifically, the role of resection is still debated, most notably because actual amount has seldom been assessed.Cases GIIGs treated before December 2007 were extracted from a multicenter database retrospectively collected since January 1985 prospectively 1996. Inclusion criteria patient age ≥ 18 years at diagnosis, histological diagnosis GIIG, MRI...
OBJECTIVE Although multiple reports have documented significant benefit from surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity (ASD), these procedures can high complication rates. Previously reported complications rates associated with ASD surgery are limited by retrospective design, single-surgeon or single-center cohorts, lack rigorous data on complications, and/or follow-up. Accurate definition is important and may serve as a resource for patient counseling efforts to improve the safety care....
The leadership of Women in Neurosurgery (WINS) has been asked by the Board Directors American Association Neurological Surgeons (AANS) to compose a white paper on recruitment and retention female neurosurgical residents practitioners.Neurosurgery must attract best brightest. now constitute larger percentage medical school classes than men, representing approximately 60% each graduating class. is facing potential crisis US workforce pipeline, with number neurosurgeons (per capita)...
To determine the indications for surgery in patients harboring asymptomatic meningiomas, authors retrospectively analyzed natural course and surgical outcome of meningiomas then compared these to symptomatic meningiomas.Between 1989 2003, 1434 who were treated Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, enrolled this study. Six hundred three had lesions 831 ones. The sizes at detection, their growth over time, any appearances symptoms associated with previously meningiomas. surgery-related morbidity rates...

Design Abnormalities in glucose homeostasis have been described patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) but most studies show inconsistent results. Therefore, we aimed to compare the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome (MetS) newly diagnosed PA a matched control cohort background population. Methods In total, 305 prospective German Conn's Registry were compared population-based Study Health Pomerania (SHIP1; n =2454). A 1:1 match regarding sex, age, BMI resulted...
OBJECTIVE The operative management of patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) has a high complication rate and it remains unknown whether baseline patient characteristics surgical variables can predict early complications (intraoperative perioperative [within 6 weeks]). development an accurate preoperative predictive model aid in counseling, shared decision making, improved planning. purpose this study was to develop based on demographic, radiographic, factors that if will sustain...
OBJECT Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is known for its high complication rate. This study examined the impact of obesity on rates, infection, and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing ASD. METHODS was a retrospective review multicenter prospective database with ASD who were treated surgically. Patients available 2-year follow-up data included. Obesity defined as having body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2. Data collected included complications (total, minor, major,...
Despite its inclusion in the 11th revision of International Classification Diseases, there is a virtual paucity high-quality scientific evidence about compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD), especially underrepresented and underserved populations. Therefore, we comprehensively examined CSBD across 42 countries, genders, orientations, validated original (CSBD-19) short (CSBD-7) versions Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Scale to provide standardized, state-of-the-art screening tools for...
