Background. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is superior to transthoracic (TTE) in detecting left atrial thrombus (LAT), a risk factor for stroke, but costly and invasive, carrying higher complications. Aims. To determine the utility of using enlargement (LAE) on TTE predict LAT TEE. Methods. AIS patients who presented 06/2008-7/2013 underwent both TEE were identified from our prospective stroke registry. Analysis consisted multivariate logistic regression with propensity score...
Data suggest many U.S. physicians experience burnout, affecting up to 65% of urology resident physicians. We implemented a multifaceted Urology Resident Wellness Curriculum and measured its effect on burnout reported among our trainees.We created 5-pronged Curriculum: 1) faculty-sponsored Fund, 2) social groups between 1 faculty 2-3 trainees, 3) one-on-one structured mentorship, 4) resident-organized outings using the 5) wellness education. administered 2 validated questionnaires, Maslach...
To characterize the contribution of extirpative and reconstructive portions radical cystectomy (RC) to complications rates, assess differences between urinary diversion (UD) types.
Objectives Evidence has shown significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on physicians. We hypothesized that these effects would impact surgical and non-surgical resident education differently, with specialties being more heavily impacted by frontline work losing elective cases.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of off-label tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) use on NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) subcomponents within 24-hours in acute ischemic (AIS). BACKGROUND: While tPA administration is approved 3 hours onset, evidence safe and efficacious from 3-4.5 for wake-up strokes mounting. DESIGN/METHODS: Consecutive patients treated with AIS between 07/2008-10/2014 were identified our prospective registry. Patients grouped by treatment window: on-label (0-3 hours), extended...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (r-RPLND) is a minimally invasive procedure used for primary treatment and staging of advanced testicular cancer or to remove post-chemotherapy residual masses. Unfortunately, the lateral approach this poses several intraoperative obstacles, including need reposition patient intraoperatively, sacrifice inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). We demonstrate “bottom-up supine” access, which has been successfully applied...
