Objective:Hypertension and other noncommunicable diseases represent a growing threat to low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Mobile health technologies may improve disease outcomes, but LMICs lack resources provide these services. We evaluated the efficacy of cloud computing model using automated self-management calls plus home blood pressure (BP) monitoring as strategy for improving systolic BPs (SBPs) outcomes hypertensive patients in two LMICs.Subjects Methods:This was randomized trial...
There is increasing interest in persistent interstitial lung disease (ILD) following resolution of acute COVID-19. No studies have yet reported findings surgical biopsies (SLB) from this patient population.Our Michigan Medicine pathology database was queried for SLB reviewed between January 2020 and April 2021 patients with ILD recovery Slides our retrospective observational study were independently by two thoracic pathologists, who blinded to clinical data, radiographic findings, previous...
BACKGROUND: Ventral rectopexy has become increasingly utilized in the surgical management of rectal prolapse. There is a need for contemporary evaluation role procedure and description its use clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To create an international consensus on ventral rectopexy. DESIGN: An expert panel undertook scoping review literature to identify subject domains interest. Literature reviews were completed each domain with subsequent development evidence-based practice-based statements....
To determine if the assessment of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) adds prognostic information to PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) in recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A retrospective case series was performed 77 patients with R/M HNSCC between 2003 2019. From pre-treatment biopsies, TILs CPS were quantified on a tissue microarray. Associations biomarkers overall survival immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) response assessed. Neither TIL...
Importance Obesity adds complexity to the decision of surgical approach for pelvic organ prolapse; data regarding perioperative complications are needed. Objective The aim study was evaluate associations body mass index (BMI) and (vaginal vs laparoscopic) on complications. Study Design Patients who underwent prolapse surgery were identified via Current Procedural Terminology codes from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database 2007–2018. Thirty-day...
MR defecating proctography (MRDP) is a noninvasive examination that can be used for evaluating posterior compartment disorders. MRDP has several advantages over conventional fluoroscopic defecography. These benefits include high-contrast resolution evaluation of the deep pelvic organs, simultaneous multicompartmental assessment performed statically and dynamically during defecation, lack ionizing radiation. also provides highly detailed anatomic floor supportive structures, including direct...
Primary tumors of the ischiorectal fossa are rare and comprise a wide array pathologies with varying malignant potential. Because low prevalence, there is paucity data in literature. This article presents case series on management tumors.
(Abstracted from Urogynecology 2024;30:658–664) Discussions surrounding surgical approach and minimizing complications perioperative risks are necessary for many surgeries. Obesity introduces additional variables that need to be discussed in making decisions about pelvic reconstructive surgery, particularly because it is associated with comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney others.
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether the combination of exome variants in pre-defined functional pathways provides evidence for association with Parkinson disease (PD) risk BACKGROUND:Previously, we reported several biological (KEGG) PD risk using GWAS data (based on common, often intergenic or intronic, genomic low effects). In contrast, are enriched ‘rare variants’; these a frequency but possible higher effect disease. On average, ~85% have <5%, while ~73% very rare DESIGN/METHODS:We performed...
Abstract Factor V Leiden (FVL) is a variant form of coagulation factor that the most common inherited risk for venous thromboembolism in people European ancestry. FVL associated with missense mutation, p.R506Q, which encodes FV protein resistant to cleavage by activated C (APC). Laboratory testing includes both phenotypic assays assess APC resistance (APCR) and molecular evaluate genotype (FVLM) directly. Although APCR results are typically highly concordant genotype, discrepancies known...
