Background: Nerve transfer surgery has revolutionized the management of traumatic brachial plexus injures. However, optimal size ratio donor to recipient nerve yet be elucidated. The authors investigated axon count ratios ulnar and median fascicular transfers restore elbow flexion. hypothesized that counts would correlated with historical success various used Methods: Ten cadaveric specimens were for a histomorphologic analysis transfers. Review previously published clinical results...
OBJECTIVE To characterize immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated diabetes mellitus (ICI-DM) in a single-institution case series. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective chart review of 18 patients with new-onset ICI-DM following anti–programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/anti–programmed ligand (PD-L1) therapy for advanced carcinomas. RESULTS Of patients, 9 had diabetic ketoacidosis (median glucose 27.92 mmol/L; median before presentation 6.35 mmol/L). Median C-peptide at diagnosis was...
We aim to examine temporal trends of orthopedic operations and opioid-related hospital stays among seniors in the nation states Oregon Washington where marijuana legalization was accepted earlier than any others.As aging society advances United States (U.S.), increase nation.A serial cross-sectional cohort study using healthcare cost utilization project fast stats from 2006 through 2015 measured annual rate per 100,000 populations by age groups (45-64 vs 65 older) as well older nation, 2008...
Objectives To evaluate the incidence and degree of rectal wall infiltration (RWI) spacer gel used during prostate radiotherapy among two practitioners experienced in using spacers. Materials methods Consecutive patients with cancer who received after hydrogel insertion August 2023–August 2024 by were retrospectively included. Post-implant magnetic resonance imaging examinations evaluated radiologists for RWI: 0 (no abnormality), 1 (rectal edema), 2 (superficial RWI), 3 (deep RWI). Scores 2–3...
Palliative care services and life-sustaining treatments are provided to dying patients with lung cancer in the United States. However, data on utilization trends of palliative not available.This study was a retrospective analysis National Inpatient Sample (2005-2014) included cancer, aged ≥ 18 years, who died hospitals. Claims that contained systemic procedures, local or surgeries were extracted. Compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) using Rao-Scott correction for χ2 tests used determine...
Cardiac radioablation is an emerging therapy for recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Electrophysiology (EP) data, including electroanatomic maps (EAM) and electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI), provide crucial information defining the arrhythmogenic target volume. The absence of standardized workflows software tools to integrate EP into a radiation planning system limits their use. This study developed comprehensive tool enable efficient utilization mapping cardiac treatment planning.The tool,...
Abstract Background To evaluate inter-fractional variations in bladder and rectum during prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) determine dosimetric clinical consequences. Methods Eighty-five patients with 510 computed tomography (CT) images were analyzed. Median prescription dose was 40 Gy 5 fractions. Patients instructed to maintain a full empty prior simulation each treatment. A single reviewer delineated organs at risk (OARs) on the (Sim-CT) Cone Beam CTs (CBCT) for...
Though overall death from opioid overdose are increasing in the United States, rate some states and population groups is stabilizing or even decreasing. Several have enacted a Naloxone Accessibility Laws to increase naloxone availability as an antidote. The extent which these laws permit layperson distribution possession varies. aim of this study investigate differences provisions by mainly Northeast West regions, impact on rates drug deaths.This cross-sectional was based National Vital...
Objective: To investigate trends and associated factors of utilization hospital palliative care among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) analyze its impact on length stay, charges, in-hospital mortality. Methods: Using the 2005-2014 National Inpatient Sample in United States, compound annual growth rate was used to temporal trend care. Multivariate multilevel logistic regression analyses were performed association patient-related factors, mortality, charges. Results: The...
Background The etiology of dorsal wrist pain associated with loading the in extension has not been clearly identified literature. Purpose Many exercise disciplines incorporate upper extremity weight-bearing exercises an extended posture, for example push-ups, plank position, and various yoga Pilates poses. This study evaluates patients wrist-loading position identifies anatomic abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods A retrospective chart review was performed comparing...
Abstract Background We examine the prognostic implications of mid‐course nodal response in oropharyngeal cancer (OPX) to radiation therapy. Methods In 44 patients with node‐positive OPX undergoing concurrent chemoradiation, volumes were measured on cone beam CTs from days 1, 10, 20, and 35. Nodal decrease (ND) was based percent shrinkage day 1. Results At a median follow‐up 17 months, 2‐year disease‐free survival (DFS), locoregional control (LRC), distant metastasis‐free (DMFS), overall (OS)...
This study aimed to analyze the trends of opioid use disorders, cannabis and palliative care among hospitalized patients with gastrointestinal cancer identify their associated factors.We analyzed National Inpatient Sample data from 2005 2014 included cancers. The hospital or disorders were using compound annual growth rates (CAGR) Rao-Scott correction for χ tests. Multivariate logistic regression analyses performed factors.From 2014, 4,364,416 hospitalizations cancer, average 0.4% (n =...
Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NA-CRT), followed by resection of high-risk soft tissue sarcoma (STS), may offer good disease control and toxicity outcomes. We report on a single institution's modern NA-CRT experience.Delay to surgical resection, margin status, extent necrosis, tumor cell viability, presence hyalinization, positron emission tomography (PET)/computed data, treatment toxicities were collected. Using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, 5-year overall survival, disease-free distant...

Abstract Purpose Percentage of positive cores involved on a systemic prostate biopsy has been established as risk factor for adverse oncologic outcomes and is National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) independent parameter unfavorable intermediate-risk disease. Most data from radiation standpoint was published in an era conventional fractionation. We explore whether the higher biological dose delivered with SBRT can mitigate this factor.
