Abstract BACKGROUND : Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) is an infrequent but occasionally fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, it has been studied in relatively small numbers patients. METHODS Prospectively collected data on 28,378 consecutive patients treated between 1992 and 2003 were examined, supplemented by a date‐based case control cohort study (76 RPH 76 non‐RPH patients) to examine elements not routinely recorded prospectively. Independent...
Positive surgical margins are an independent predictive factor for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. We analyzed the incidence of and associative factors positive in a multi-institutional series 8,418 robotic assisted prostatectomies.We records patients who underwent prostatectomy at 7 institutions. Of 323 had missing data on margin status. were categorized into 4 groups, including apex, bladder neck, posterolateral multifocal. The 6,169 available multivariate analysis....
Minimally invasive telerobotic surgical systems enable surgeons to perform complicated procedures without large incisions. Unfortunately, these typically do not provide the surgeon with sensory feedback aside from stereoscopic vision. We have, thus, developed VerroTouch, a sensing and actuating device that can be added Intuitive Surgical's existing da Vinci S Surgical System auditory vibrotactile of tool contact accelerations. These cues let feel hear rough textures as well making breaking...
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone renowned for its role in post-meal blood sugar regulation and glucose-dependent insulin secretion, has gained attention as a novel treatment diabetes through GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA). Despite their efficacy, concerns have been raised regarding the potential associations between GLP-1-RA certain malignancies, including medullary thyroid cancer. However, evidence of association with prostate cancer (PCa) remains inconclusive. This...
Purpose: To assess the impact of development less powerful second- and third-generation shockwave lithotripters on surgical stone therapy in light recent advances ureteroscopy laser lithotripsy. As such, we sought to identify current trends treatment disease, both at our university medical center nationally, contrast them with corresponding data from 1990. Patients Methods: All urolithiasis procedures (ureteroscopy, SWL, open surgery, percutaneous removal) performed 1998 were compared all 8...
Detection of metastatic disease in head and neck cancer patients is critical to preoperative planning, because with distant metastasis will not benefit from surgical therapy. Conventional radiographic modalities, such as CT MR, give excellent anatomic detail but poorly identify unenlarged lymph nodes harboring disease.A pilot study was conducted evaluate the usefulness 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) detection advanced-stage cancer.Total body FDG-PET imaging...
Mistrust of healthcare providers and systems is a significant barrier to quality healthcare. However, limited empirical data are available on perceptions medical mistrust among individuals who diagnosed with cancer. The objective this study was identify sociodemographic, clinical, cultural determinants men prostate cancer.The authors conducted an observational 196 African-American (n = 71) white 125) were newly cancer during 2003 through 2007.Race, education, experiences, factors had effects...
The present study evaluated intimacy as a mechanism for the effects of holding back sharing concerns about cancer on couples' psychological distress, well-being, and marital satisfaction using actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), 2 possible moderators these associations: number patient spouse concerns. We had 139 men treated localized prostate in past year their spouses complete surveys concerns, intimacy, relationship satisfaction, well APIM-indicated that association between could...
Most trainees begin learning robotic minimally invasive surgery by performing inanimate practice tasks with clinical robots such as the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci. Expert surgeons are commonly asked to evaluate these performances using standardized five-point rating scales, but doing ratings is time consuming, tedious, and somewhat subjective. This paper presents an automatic skill evaluation system that analyzes only contact force task materials, broad-bandwidth accelerations of...
Several centers have reported their experience with single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (SP-RAPN); however, it is uncertain if utilization of this platform represents an improvement in outcomes compared to multiport (MP-RAPN). To evaluate this, we performed a meta-analysis compare the perioperative, oncological, and functional between SP-RAPN MP-RAPN.
