To evaluate the early and late health-related quality of life (QOL) outcomes among prostate cancer patients following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).Patient self-reported QOL was prospectively measured 864 from phase 2 clinical trials SBRT for localized cancer. Data Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) instrument were obtained at baseline regular intervals up to 6 years. delivered a median dose 36.25 Gy in 4 or 5 fractions. A short course androgen deprivation given 14%...
With a shortfall in fellowship-trained breast radiologists, mammography screening programs are looking toward artificial intelligence (AI) to increase efficiency and diagnostic accuracy. External validation studies provide an initial assessment of how promising AI algorithms perform different practice settings.To externally validate ensemble deep-learning model using data from high-volume, distributed program academic health system with diverse patient population.In this study, learning...
To assess the contribution of work-organisational and personal factors to prevalence work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among garment workers in Los Angeles.This is a cross-sectional study self-reported symptoms 520 sewing machine operators from 13 industry shops. Detailed information on factors, were obtained face-to-face interviews. The outcome interest, upper body WMSD, was defined as worker experiencing moderate or severe pain. Unconditional logistic regression models adopted...
The objective of this study was to analyze outcomes for patients with soft tissue sarcoma the extremities using neoadjuvant ifosfamide-based chemotherapy and hypofractionated reduced dose radiotherapy, followed by limb-sparing surgery.An Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective review treated at a single institution between 1990 2013 performed. In total, 116 were identified who received 28 Gy in 8 fractions preoperative radiation (equivalent 2 Gray fractions, 31.5 [α/β 10]...
BACKGROUND: Taxi drivers work long hours for low wages and report hypertension, weight gain, musculoskeletal pain associated with the sedentary nature of their job, stressful working conditions, poor dietary habits. They also experience a hig
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is reported to have a higher risk of local recurrence (LR) following definitive surgical excision relative other soft tissue sarcomas. We reviewed our clinical experience treating MFS investigate predictors LR.We retrospectively treatment outcomes for patients treated at institution between 1999 and 2015. A total 52 were identified. Median age was 65 years (range, 21 86 y). Site disease was: upper extremity (27%), lower (46%), trunk (15%), pelvic (8%), head neck (4%)....
Abstract Bupropion hydrochloride is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor which may be an effective treatment for cocaine dependence due to its ability reverse deficits in dopaminergic functioning that occur chronic users. We performed randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial comparing outpatient with bupropion (N = 37) 33) combination standard cognitive behavioral therapy. There were no statistically significant differences between outcomes, including aggregate measures...
The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) has varied in the literature and is reflective definition sampling methodologies used, as well age, ethnicity, sex being studied. aim current study was to measure correlates UI a sample 572 older Latinos participating Caminemos, trial behavioral intervention increase walking. Participants completed an in-person survey physical performance measures. measured using International Consultation on Incontinence item: "How often do you leak urine?"...
Introduction . Patients with high-grade sarcoma (HGS) frequently develop metastatic disease thus limiting their long-term survival. Lung metastases (LM) have historically been treated surgical resection (metastasectomy). A potential alternative for controlling LM could be stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). We evaluated the outcomes from our institutional experience utilizing SBRT. Methods Sixteen consecutive patients HGS were SBRT between 2009 and 2011. Routine radiographic clinical...
The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among older urban Latinos is high. Insight into etiologies and contributing factors to the development this condition needed. This longitudinal cohort study identified correlates 1-year incidence UI in community-dwelling Latino adults participating a senior center-based physical activity trial Los Angeles, California. Three hundred twenty-eight aged 60 93 Caminemos, randomized increase walking, were studied. Participants completed an in-person...
Background Shareable e-scooters have become popular, but injuries to riders and bystanders not been well characterized. The goal of this study was describe e-scooter estimate the rate injury per trip. Methods findings Retrospective review patients presenting 180 clinics 2 hospitals in greater Los Angeles between January 1, 2014 May 14, 2020. Injuries were identified using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm previously used identify injuries, tallied, described along with required...

Determine whether with curved seat pan leads improved changes in monthly scores compared control intervention. Summary Background Data. Sewing operators experience high prevalence and severity neck shoulder comparison other working populations probably due sustained abduction upper back flexion required task. An...
Objective: Evaluate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between perceived walkability-related neighborhood characteristics (e.g., traffic safety) depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older Latino adults. Method: We used baseline, 12-month, 24-month in-person interview data collected from Latinos aged ≥60 years participating in an exercise intervention at 27 senior centers ( N = 570). Results: In analyses, lower crime, indicative of greater walkability, was associated...
