Biocompatible gold nanoparticles designed to absorb light at wavelengths of high tissue transparency have been particular interest for biomedical applications. The ability such convert absorbed near-infrared heat and induce highly localized hyperthermia has shown be effective photothermal cancer therapy, resulting in cell death tumor remission a multitude preclinical animal models. Here we report the initial results clinical trial which laser-excited gold-silica nanoshells (GSNs) were used...
To evaluate the ability to detect clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) using a novel electromagnetically (EM) tracked transperineal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasonography (US) fusion-guided targeted biopsy (transperineal TBx) platform and impact of inter-reader variability on detection.A total 176 patients with suspicious lesions detected multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) underwent systematic modified Barzel template (12-core) SBx) TBx EM tracking (UroNav; Philips Healthcare,...
BACKGROUND: Prediction of extra-prostatic extension (EPE) in men undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) is utmost importance. Great variability the performance multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has been reported for prediction EPE. The present study aimed to determine diagnostic mpMRI predicting EPE different National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk categories.METHODS: Overall 664 patients who underwent with a staging were enrolled this single-center, retrospective...
To find an association between genomic features of connective tissue and pejorative clinical outcomes on radical prostatectomy specimens. We performed a retrospective analysis patients who underwent Decipher transcriptomic test for localized prostate cancer in our institution (n = 695). The expression results selected genes were analyzed after multiple t tests, revealing significant differences the (over- or under-expression). investigated transcript such as extra-capsular extension (ECE),...
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm among men and one with highest positive surgical margin (PSM) rate. This high rate due to difficulty in balancing risk of extraprostatic disease excising periprostatic structures, which ultimately affects patients' quality life. In case a PSM, appropriateness adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT) should be discussed. The financial burden PSMs on health systems has not been investigated.To estimate costs associated PSM during radical...
Purpose: Medically refractory reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), a rare variant of RCVS, poses significant therapeutic challenge. Herein we describe case medically RCVS that required treatment with intra-arterial (IA) verapamil and subsequent nimodipine, resulting in both angiographic clinical improvement after failing to respond hemodynamic augmentation. We also supplement description our review other studies series which IA calcium channel blockers were used treat RCVS....
Objectives: To assess the incidence of postoperative arterial malformation (AM) and urine leak/urinoma (UL) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in a contemporary series to evaluate risk factors for these complications. Materials Methods: All RPNs were queried from Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective prospective databases. Demographics, perioperative variables, complications collected. Differences between cohorts analyzed using univariate analysis. Postoperative graded...
Background: Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is a nonlinear optical imaging technology, allowing process-free of fresh tissue up to depth 0.5 mm, with combined signal autofluorescence and second harmonic generation. The absence bladder muscle in transurethral resection tumor (TURBT) increases risk residual disease, recurrence, understaging, an intraoperative assessment margins may avoid unnecessary TURBTs. Objective: objective this study was test the feasibility MPM real-time detection cold cup...
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an alternative interventional procedure used to manage refractory Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) when conservative medical therapy has failed. However, TIPS not always technically successful because of hepatic vein thrombosis and inability catheterize the veins. In these situations, direct (DIPS) with access portal from IVC been shown be a viable that may ameliorate hypertension in patients. Typically, DIPS involves use transabdominal...
Bladder leiomyomas are rare, benign tumors with a variety of clinical presentations. Surgical approach is typically based on symptomatology and leiomyoma location. Literature robotic excision limited. We present our case unique transvesical approach. The patient had rapid convalescence no complications, suggesting safe, effective treatment for bladder suitable candidates.
Objectives: The integrated interventional radiology (IR) residency has only been established relatively recently as compared to other specialties. Although some preliminary information is available based on survey data five, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis documenting the importance of quantity and quality research in applying an integrated-IR program currently exists. As first matched IR residents, obtained from this study fills a gap literature. Materials Methods: A list residents...
