Hematopoietic cell transplantation may offer the only cure for patients with hematological diseases. The clinical application of this therapy has been limited by toxic conditioning and lack matched donors. Haploidentical would serve to extend potential donor pool; however, across major histocompatibility complex barriers is often associated severe graft-versus-host disease. Here we evaluate a novel protocol achieve engraftment mismatch without or significant posttransplant complications.Nine...
: The use of energy is ubiquitous within robotic surgery. Radiofrequency used to dissect and transect tissue as well achieve hemostasis. While the devices in surgery are similar those utilized during laparoscopy, there important differences that must be considered. These reviewed detail guidance provided with regard risks, benefits alternatives each device it common situations.
Background: Surgeons must evaluate and communicate the risk associated with operative procedures for patients at high of poor postoperative outcomes. Multidisciplinary approaches to complex decision making are needed. Objective: To improve physician high-risk surgical patients. Design: This is a retrospective review presented multidisciplinary committee three years. Setting/Subjects: Evaluation was done in single-center U.S. veterans affairs (VA) hospital. All who were considered surgery had...
: Anastomotic leaks after gastrointestinal (GI) and oropharyngeal surgery are some of the most dreaded surgical complications, feared by both surgeons patients alike. In past, these catastrophic events were almost always addressed with emergent often complex which typically consisted a combination primary repair, diversion, and/or wide drainage. This approach inadvertently added to morbidity mortality, as well lengthened an already prolonged recovery. With advancement flexible endoscopy, new...
To determine the impact of radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) energy compared to direct cautery on metatstatic colon cancer growth.Hepatic ablation with MW RF creates a temperature gradient around target site temperatures known create tissue injury cell death. In contrast, heat application (cautery) vaporizes higher but reduced surrounding tissue. We hypothesize that different devices variable zones sublethal may promote tumor recurrence. test this hypothesis we applied MW, RF, normal...
BACKGROUND Over one-third of Americans carry the diagnosis obesity, many also with obesity-related comorbidities. This can place patients at increased risk operative and postoperative complications. The intragastric balloon has been shown to aid in minor weight loss, however its recidivism requiring short interval loss not well studied. AIM To evaluate ability undergo successful elective surgery after placement, management removal. METHODS study is a retrospective review single academic...

Background: Optimizing nutrition is essential for recovery after major surgery or severe illness. Feeding tubes (FT) can be placed in patients limited by oral enteral nutrition. Given the myriad of locations which these procedures are performed (radiology, intensive care unit, and endoscopy suite), routine follow-up challenging. The purpose this study was to evaluate impact an FT clinic on We hypothesized that enrollment would result improved nutritional outcomes. Methods: Retrospective...
Surgical smoke evacuators may reduce the concentration of alcohol vapors from skin preparations at site electrosurgical device activation, decreasing operating room fire risk. Our aim was to compare incidence flames with and without evacuation in a porcine ex vivo model. A monopolar activated after application either 70% isopropyl alcohol/2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG-IPA) or 74% alcohol/0.7% iodine povacrylex (iodine-IPA) preparations. No suction compared standard wall 2 devices built-in...
