OBJECTIVES: Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is increasingly performed remote cell processing and preparation, i.e., isolation remotely from the primary surgical site at an appropriately equipped facility. We aimed to determine whether TPIAT using results in comparable long-term glycemic outcomes compared standard local isolation. METHODS: a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent three tertiary care centers 2010 2013. Two one Explanted pancreata...
To compare the cost effectiveness of opportunistic salpingectomy and bilateral tubal ligation for sterilization immediately after vaginal delivery.A cost-effectiveness analytic decision model was used to with during delivery admission. Probability inputs were derived from local data available literature. Salpingectomy assumed be performed a handheld bipolar energy device. The primary outcome incremental ratio (ICER) in 2019 U.S. dollars per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) at threshold...
OBJECTIVE: To compare operative outcomes of postpartum salpingectomy and tubal ligation after vaginal delivery. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study identified patients who underwent sterilization between January 1, 2009, December 31, 2019, at a large academic hospital, using the electronic medical record. All delivered vaginally during their delivery admissions were included. The primary outcome was total time. Secondary included estimated blood loss, perioperative complications,...
Vulvar Paget disease often requires extensive and, in some cases, multiple resections to treat. A fluorescein-mapping procedure followed by a staged vulvectomy may be an effective technique tailor resection and identify clinically occult lesions.We describe two-step procedure; first, intravenous fluorescein sodium is injected, the vulva illuminated with Wood's lamp. Representative biopsies are obtained correlated on final pathology extent of develop plan for excision. Second, using confirmed...
Little data exists to adequately counsel patients on the postsurgical morbidity and outcomes of an aborted primary debulking (AD) for advance stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Our objectives were examine 30-day AD, percentage who subsequently undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS), residual disease at ICS, predictors complications after AD.
Our objective is to define a standard protocol for post-partum salpingectomy and provide prospective assessment of safety feasibility such procedure. Thus, performing in limited-resource environments was created based on contemporary practices tubal ligation. Gravidae presenting ligation following vaginal delivery or at time cesarean were prospectively approached and, if consent obtained, enrolled. Outcomes compared historical cohort gravidae who underwent birth the as per institutional...
INTRODUCTION: Opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of benign gynecologic surgery and cesarean delivery is a cost-effective strategy for ovarian cancer risk reduction. We sought to evaluate cost-effectiveness opportunistic compared standard tubal ligation in immediate postpartum period following vaginal deliveries. METHODS: Using two decision analytic models, we simulated hypothetical cohort 10,000 women undergoing bilateral or immediately delivery. derived probabilities reduction...

Background: Inaccurate assessment of maternal blood pressure (BP) contributes to misdiagnosis hypertension, unnecessary or missed interventions, and morbidity. This study examines obstetric nursing knowledge confidence in proper BP before after an institutional quality improvement project.Methods: We implemented online educational initiative our women’s health unit based on the American Heart Association’s Blood Pressure Improvement Program. Simultaneously, a standard cuff sizing by arm...
