Highlights•High-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine was found to be safe and well tolerated in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients•The high-dose group had a higher percentage of individuals with titers ≥ 1:40 for the H3N2 strain•The also geometric mean titer against strainAbstractHematopoietic transplantation (HCT) survivors are less likely than matched healthy controls mount strong immune response (TIV). High-dose (HD) or standard-dose (SD) TIV were given HCT...
The impact of rapid on-site cytologic evaluation (ROSE) on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is widely debated. This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance EUS-FNB in absence ROSE abdominal masses.Patients with masses undergoing using 22-gauge Franseen needles and slow-pull technique were prospectively enrolled this study. Macroscopic (MOSE) was performed without ROSE.100 patients recruited between 2018 2020. Seventy-eight had neoplasms, twenty-two benign...
The number of men undergoing cosmetic surgery is increasing in North America. To determine the incidence and risk factors major complications males surgery, compare complication profiles between women, identify specific procedures that are associated with higher males. A prospective cohort patients 2008 2013 was identified from CosmetAssure database. Gender were excluded. Primary outcome occurrence a requiring emergency room visit, hospital admission, or reoperation within 30 days index...
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes incisional hernia repair in solid organ transplant patients using non-cross-linked porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM), human derived (HADM) and synthetic mesh.A retrospective review who underwent with PADM after pancreas and/or renal at the University Maryland Medical Center from 2008 2012 conducted. Repair type, postoperative infection, recurrence, mesh removal, length follow-up were recorded. Results compared our previously...
The outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are controversial. We studied the relationship pre-TIPS HE undergoing TIPS for refractory ascites on all-cause mortality and development post-TIPS HE. A single-center retrospective comparison study was performed ascites. Survival by history demonstrated Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses were to identify predictors clinical without...
Abstract Individuals diagnosed with colorectal adenomas high-risk features during screening colonoscopy have increased risk for the development of subsequent and cancer. While US guidelines recommend surveillance at 3 years in this population, uptake is suboptimal. To inform future interventions to improve uptake, we sought assess rates identify facilitators a large integrated health system. We utilized cohort patients diagnosis ≥ 1 tubular adenoma (TA) (TA cm, TA villous features,...
INTRODUCTION: There have been a myriad of efforts to address suboptimal colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates in the United States (US). Individuals with high-risk colon polyps detected during colonoscopy 2- 5-fold increased risk for future development CRC; however, there are few directed towards optimizing reduction this group. We examined surveillance uptake patients large, academic healthcare system. METHODS: \We identified cohort patients: 1) age 50–75; 2) colonoscopic diagnosis...
Reversible cutaneous hyperpigmentation often occurs in the setting of nutritional deficiencies and protein energy malnourishment, with atypical presentations arising from autoimmune disease. Here, we present a 52-year-old female hypertension, type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, under diagnosis polyglandular syndrome II, referred for evaluation asymptomatic palms, soles, hard palate, tongue 6 months. The patient underwent significant work-up, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which...
2015.Demographic data, intra-operative parameters, post-operative biochemical analysis and complication were prospectively recorded.All the procedures performed by a single surgeon(JA).All patients underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre-operatively.An independent board certified consultant uroradiologist (AP) blinded to patient outcomes calculated four NSs for each retrospectively.Univariate Cox Proportional-Hazard Regression Analysis...

It is perhaps unsurprising that medical students of this generation emphasize care delivery within the context technology. Rapid diagnoses, lab values, and detailed descriptions conditions now emerge seconds simply touching a screen. The age-old adage “sticking to books” thus remains foreign many us, as we so rarely rely on them. Our rationale for technology in health setting provides conveniently convincing argument purchasing iPads iPhones. I recall coercing my then-apprehensive parents...
INTRODUCTION: National guidelines recommend that patients with colorectal adenomas ≥1cm undergo surveillance colonoscopy to prevent cancer. Polyp size is often assessed twice, once during and again pathology examination. It remains unclear whether these measurements vary which should govern intervals. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed a random sample of primary care who underwent polypectomy between January 1, 2013 2016 in large academic healthcare center. Chart abstractors reviewed...
