We aimed to determine if, using baseline MRI-guided biopsy (MRGB), durability of active surveillance (AS) could be pre-determined, follow-up biopsies avoided, and if by incorporating focal therapy (FT), AS extended. A cohort 869 men in the UCLA protocol study (2010-2022) was analyzed. Inclusion criteria were (MRGB) showing Grade Group (GG) ≤ 2 >1 year enrollment. After 2016, FT offered with GG2 those progressing GG3. The accrued 3500 patient-years (median 4.1 years). At baseline, GG1 (505),...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have demonstrated efficacy following microvascular breast reconstruction. This study assesses the impact of an ERAS protocol reconstruction at a high-volume center.The introduced preoperative counseling, multimodal analgesia, early diet resumption, and mobilization to our procedures. Data, including length stay, body mass index, inpatient narcotic use, outpatient prescriptions, pain scores, complications, were prospectively collected for all...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of gestational age–based dosing unfractionated heparin (UFH) compared with standard UFH for thromboprophylaxis on an elevated serum activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) during prolonged antepartum hospitalizations. METHODS: This was a randomized trial pregnant persons who were admitted in period at least 72 hours. Participants randomly allocated to dose (5,000 units subcutaneously every 12 hours) or (first trimester [less than 14 weeks]: 5,000 hours;...
Given that treatment near the urethra is often limited to reduce side effects, in this study we aim determine whether prostate MRI can accurately identify distance of cancer a cohort men who were potential candidates for focal gland ablation.A single-institution analysis was performed underwent MRI, targeted biopsy, and radical prostatectomy from July 2012 April 2021. Men ablation identified. The ability within 5 mm prostatic as confirmed on whole-mount pathology assessed. Multivariate...
Study Objective To determine the median perioperative blood loss (PBL) during minimally invasive surgical (MIS) myomectomy. Design Prospective pilot study. Setting Large academic teaching hospital. Patients 31 patients underwent laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy and completed a postoperative complete count (CBC) from November 2020 to August 2022. had have at least one fibroid greater than equal 3 cm on preoperative imaging. Interventions A CBC was collected preoperatively within 7 days of...

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been associated with hypotensive episodes autologous breast reconstruction. Gabapentin (Gaba), a nonopioid analgesic used in ERAS, has shown to attenuate postoperative hemodynamic responses. This study assesses ERAS’s impact, and without Gaba, on hypotension microvascular Methods: Three cohorts were studied: traditional pathway, ERAS + no-Gaba. We evaluated length of stay, inpatient narcotic use [morphine milligram equivalents...
Functional problems such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction after radical prostatectomy (RP) are important outcomes to evaluate surgical quality in prostate cancer (PC) care. Differences survival RP between countries known, but differences functional providers from different not well described.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate new software (Unfold AI) in the estimation prostate tumour volume (TV) and prediction focal therapy outcomes. Subjects/patients methods Subjects were 204 men with cancer (PCa) grade groups 2–4 (GG ≥ 2), who enrolled a trial partial gland cryoablation (PGA) at UCLA from 2017 2022. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided biopsy (MRGB) was performed diagnosis 6 18 months following PGA. Utilising Unfold AI (FDA‐cleared 2022), which...
Abstract Since 2017, the TrueNTH Global Registry (TNGR) has aimed to drive improvement in patient outcomes for individuals with localized prostate cancer by collating data from healthcare institutions across 13 countries. As TNGR matures, a systematic evaluation of existing processes and documents is necessary evaluate whether registry operating as intended. The main supporting documents: protocol dictionary, were comprehensively reviewed series meetings over 10-month period an international...
Similar Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) at diagnosis for localized prostate cancer among countries may indicate that different treatments are recommended to the same profile of patients, regardless context characteristics (health systems, medical schools, culture, preferences…). The aim this study was assess such comparison.We analyzed EPIC-26 results before primary treatment men diagnosed from January 2017 onwards (revised data available up September 2019), a multicenter prospective...
