To assess the Dorr proximal femoral types and cortical thickness index for predicting peri-operative complications during hemiarthroplasty.Records of 53 male 147 female elderly who underwent cemented or uncemented monopolar hemiarthroplasty displaced intracapsular neck fractures were reviewed. Any intra-operative fracture postoperative dislocation within 30 days was recorded. The defined as ratio width minus endosteal to at a level 100 mm below tip lesser trochanter. Higher values indicated...
There has been public concern that some suicides are not investigated to identify causes or triggers, unless required by the European Convention on Human Rights. The paper reviews statute and case law governing decision of Coroner as scope investigation into suicide. role in assessing interest is discussed. particular reference allegations bullying. science suicide bullying reviewed their impact how an inquest held considered. Drawing together caselaw, a framework proposed for judicial making.
Introduction: Urologists are increasingly exposed to fluoroscopy, which can cause cellular damage. Appropriate awareness and safety precautions concerning fluoroscopy necessary likely should be a focus during training. We sought assess radiation knowledge among Urology residents in the United States. Methods: A 19-question survey was constructed training, knowledge, behavior, attitudes. The sent through REDCap™ (Research Electronic Data Capture) all program directors coordinators States with...
The AUA Workforce Workgroup contributes workforce-related questions to the annual Census better understand factors impacting urologic community. This study aims highlight pertinent gender differences potentially career satisfaction and identify areas in which intervention could improve discrepancies. We hypothesize significant between males females exist regarding responses gender-related questions.
Studies of the pre-irradiation isothermal fading glow peaks in thermoluminescent dosimetry grade lithium fluoride have shown that two are associated with divalent impurity-positive ion vacancy dipoles, not one as previously thought. The decay these is to obey second-order kinetics an activation energy 0·85±0·05 ev.
A clinical study is described in which hypertensive patients on no drug therapy were given atenolol increasing doses from 50 mg twice daily to 200 until the diastolic blood pressure was 90 mm Hg or below. At this stage withdrawn readings had risen pre-treatment levels. The same dose of then re-introduced but now once-a-day (in morning) and continued for four weeks. Of eleven entering study, one withdrew as his not controlled a daily, another because withdrawal did rise remaining nine...
The aim of this retrospective investigation was to devise a protocol for obtaining consistent myocardial counts patients attending perfusion imaging.A total 229 were included in the study sample. For each rest single-photon emission computed tomography data set, three-dimensional ellipse manually defined isolate left ventricle. count rate per voxel measured from threshold region interest covering normally perfused myocardium (70-100% maximum counts). Data normalized net administered activity...
Introduction: Operative duration (OD) is associated with complications but has been poorly studied in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN). We seek to examine the relationship between OD and MIPN. Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried from 2011 2016 by CPT code. Risk factors for were determined using univariable multivariable analysis. Results: In all, 12,018 patients examined. broken into deciles, ∼1200 each,...
The change in the emission spectrum of irradiated thermoluminescent lithium fluoride is investigated as a function specimen temperature. peak energy rises with temperature and it suggested that dependence upon luminescent efficiency recombination processes responsible rather than an association specific peaks individual glow peaks.
We report the first absolute effective quantum efficiency (e-h pairs collected/predicted) measurements of a monolithic thinned back-illuminated CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) in extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray region (13-600 Å). The was designed fabricated under joint Rutherford Appleton Laboratory/e2v research program characterized Lockheed Martin Solar Astrophysics calibration facility. compare our QE results to data models developed for CCDs with similar back surface passivation. Our...
SUMMARY It is highly likely that a psychiatrist will be called to an inquest at some point in their career. Our aim this article educate psychiatrists relation the law and processes of coroner's court England Wales provide guidance on engaging with system. To achieve we review discuss relevant medico-legal aspects inquests. Knowledge preparation are key negotiating any would hope understanding offered reduce anxiety, make situation manageable aid professionalism, often tragic circumstances.
As value based health care gains favor and reimbursement models move toward quality rather than quantity of care, a better understanding cost its predictors becomes increasingly important. We identified how preoperative characteristics, intraoperative variables postoperative complications impact the partial nephrectomy.Our institution's ACS NSQIP® (American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program) database was accessed for minimally invasive nephrectomy performed from...
Urologists are increasingly exposed to fluoroscopy as minimally invasive techniques continue proliferate. Fluoroscopy, or electromagnetic radiation, can cause cellular damage. Appropriate knowledge of safety precautions for necessary and ideally should be taught physicians in training.A 20-question survey was created assess radiation training, knowledge, behavior attitudes. The sent via REDCap™ house staff routinely involved fluoroscopic cases, including urology, orthopedic surgery,...
We examined the effect of operative duration on morbidity in minimally invasive radical prostatectomy. Operative has been shown to be a risk factor for negative outcomes multiple surgical procedures but minimal data exist regarding urological procedures.The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried by CPT code from 2011 2016. Standard NSQIP morbidities were used. Univariable and multivariable analysis performed determine factors...
