Abstract Recent scholarship has suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) technology and autocratic regimes may be mutually reinforcing. We test for a reinforcing relationship in the context of facial-recognition AI China. To do so, we gather comprehensive data on firms government procurement contracts, as well social unrest across China since early 2010s. first show autocrats benefit from AI: local leads to greater new political control, increased indeed suppresses subsequent unrest....

Abstract Aim Up to 10% of patients who undergo nonurological abdominopelvic operations suffer a ureteral injury. While preoperative stenting facilitate identification the ureter is common, it does not reduce incidence intraoperative injury and without risk. As we continue broaden application minimally invasive surgical techniques, new form avoidance that rely on tactile feedback needed. We report our initial experience with intraureteral indocyanine green (ICG) for during complex...
Introduction: Rezūm water vapor thermal ablation is a new minimally invasive technique used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Major advantages include minimal anesthesia and recovery time, low rate of sexual side effects, durable clinical improvement. However, data are lacking regarding use in prostate glands >80 cc. Here we seek examine the outcomes men with large following Rezūm. Patients Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent therapy at our institution since July...
Developing AI technology requires data.In many domains, government data far exceeds in magnitude and scope collected by the private sector, firms often gain access to such when providing services state.We argue that can stimulate commercial innovation part because trained algorithms are shareable across uses.We gather comprehensive information on public security procurement contracts China's facial recognition industry.We quantify accessible through measuring agencies' capacity collect...
Interest has grown in optimizing radical prostatectomy (RP) pathways for prostate cancer, and RP been removed from the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services inpatient-only list. We aim to determine national trends outpatient RP. The National Inpatient Survey Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery were queried categorize RPs between 2016 2020 as inpatient RPs, comprising same-day discharge (SDD) ambulatory encounters. Trends over time analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified...
Tumour infiltrating B cells and CD38+ plasma have been correlated with survival in different malignancies but their role urinary bladder cancer is unclear. IL-10 a multifunctional cytokine both anti-inflammatory immunostimulatory properties, that can be released by regulatory (Bregs). We stained paraffin-embedded tumour sections from 31 patients invasive urothelial respect to CD20+ cells, IL-10-expressing IgG, C1q C3a analysed the impact of these markers on survival. Interestingly, we...
People's perceptions about others play an important role in shaping their own attitudes and behaviors, as well social norms more broadly.This review presents a meta-analysis of the recent empirical literature that examines field.We document number stylized facts.Misperceptions are widespread, asymmetric, much larger when out-group members, positively associated with one's attitudes.Experimental treatments to re-calibrate misperceptions generally work intended; they sometimes lead meaningful...
While robotic assisted radical nephrectomy is safe with outcomes and complication rates comparable to those of the pure laparoscopic approach, there little evidence an economic or clinical benefit.From 2009 2011 Nationwide Inpatient Sample database we identified patients 18 years old older who underwent for primary renal malignancy. Robotic techniques were noted. Patients treated open technique metastatic disease excluded from analysis. Descriptive statistics performed using chi-square...
Up to one in ten patients undergoing cystectomy with urinary diversion develop a ureteroenteric stricture (UES). Despite unrecognized ureteral obstruction contributing infection, nephrolithiasis, and/or progression of kidney disease, the long-term natural history and risk factors associated UES remains understudied. Herein, we report our single institutional experience incidence, clinical presentation, formation following diversion.We reviewed 2,285 who underwent RC between 1980-2008. was...
We aimed to develop and validate a self-reported QUAlity of Life Assessment in Spina bifida for Teenagers (QUALAS-T).We drafted 46-question pilot instrument using patient-centered comprehensive item generation/refinement process. A group 13-17 years olds with spina (SB) was recruited online via social media person at SB clinics (2013-2015). Healthy controls were during routine pediatrician visits. Final questions identified based on clinical relevance, factor analysis domain psychometrics....
Reports of robot-assisted live donor nephrectomies (LDNs) have been emerging in the literature. We sought to examine national incidence LDNs and assess regional use economic differences versus laparoscopic LDN.Data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) were used identify patients who underwent either or LDN between 2009 2011. Descriptive analysis was performed groups.A total 4,163 cases using robot-assistance pure surgery Of these, 142 classified as nephrectomies; these all western United...

RestoreX is a novel penile traction therapy device, with randomized, controlled data demonstrating improvements in length and erectile function after 30 to 90 minutes of daily use men Peyronie's disease. We sought determine if similar could be achieved post prostatectomy.Men prostatectomy were randomly assigned control or one 2 protocols for 6 months, followed by 3-month open-label phase. The current study presents from the randomized primary outcome was changes stretched length; secondary...
Chronic kidney disease may adversely affect survival following nephrectomy. Proteinuria is increasingly used as a marker of disease. However, the relationship between preoperative proteinuria and after nephrectomy remains incompletely characterized. We evaluated association with overall cancer specific using our institutional registry.We identified 1,846 patients localized clear cell renal carcinoma treated curative intent (radical or partial nephrectomy) 1995 2010. Patients were categorized...
