The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) currently recommends initiating breast cancer screening at 50 years of age in patients average risk. 1 However, we hypothesize that these guidelines may not be sensitive to racial differences and inappropriately extrapolating data from largely white populations for use racially diverse populations.This process could result underscreening nonwhite female patients.These concerns are similar broader discussions regarding sex bias the clinical...
<h3>Importance</h3> Social distancing is critical to the control of COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected Black community. Physician-delivered messages may increase adherence these behaviors. <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine whether delivered by physicians improve COVID-19 knowledge and preventive behaviors assess differential effectiveness tailored <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This randomized clinical trial self-identified White adults with less than a college education...
The frequency of type 2 error (TTE), or lacking statistical power to demonstrate a difference between two treatment arms, has been well-documented.1–3 Analysis randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in Annals Surgery, and Archives Surgery 1988 1998 with nonstatistically significant "negative" results determined that more than three-quarters them are at risk for TTE.4 Subsequent analysis RCTs the same journals 1999 2002 corroborated this finding TTE rate exceeding 80%.5 More recent...
Superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flaps are a useful adjunct for autologous microvascular breast reconstruction. However, limitations of short pedicle length, complex anatomy, and donor site deformity make it an unpopular choice. Our goals were to define the anatomic characteristics SGAPs in cadavers, report preliminary clinical radiographic results using lateral septocutaneous perforating branches superior (LSGAP) as basis modified flap.We performed 12 cadaveric dissections...
Three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3D CTA) can be used preoperatively to evaluate the course and caliber of perforating blood vessels for abdominal free-flap breast reconstruction. For postmastectomy reconstruction, many women inquire whether tissue volume will match that removed. Therefore, our goal was estimate preoperative weight proposed flap compare them with actual determine if diagnostic imaging accurately identify amount could potentially harvested.Preoperative 3D...
To investigate the effect of subspecialty practice and experience on relationship between annual volume inpatient mortality after hepatic resection.The impact surgical postoperative outcomes has been extensively examined. However, cumulative surgeon specialty training this warrants investigation.The New York Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System database was queried for patients' ≥18 years who underwent wedge hepatectomy or lobectomy from 2000 to 2014. Primary exposures included...
Abstract Aim Perianal Paget's disease (PAPD) is a rare disorder with predisposition to anal and colorectal malignancies an unclear prognosis. Our previous 25‐year series demonstrated non‐aggressive nature. This study aims describe our updated institutional experience. Methods retrospective review of all patients diagnosed primary PAPD from 1991 2021. A prospectively maintained database was searched which included demographics, clinical pathological manifestations, treatment methods,...
Abstract Although the use of saphenous vein grafts in free‐flap salvage and extremity replantation is relatively common, their breast reconstruction rare. These two case reports represent extreme alternatives for flap salvage. In our normal daily practice, overwhelming majority elective reconstructions proceed smoothly. However, occasional patient may require graft rescue completion reconstruction. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Microsurgery, 2009.
Renal transplant patients presenting with diverticulitis remain a clinical challenge for health care professionals. Secondary to immunosuppression, renal recipients are often considered early operative intervention due concerns an unreliable physical exam and feared morbidity mortality associated non-operative management.This study aimed evaluate trends in management of at quaternary referral center.One hundred ninety-one admitted the hospital were identified. Of this cohort, 71 (37%)...
