Cutaneous mastocytosis
Review on cutaneous mastocytosis, with data on clinics, pathology, and involved genes.
Screening and intervention for late fetal growth restriction.
Selvaratnam et al describe a retrospective cohort study, which demonstrated that public reporting of an indicator of screening performance for term fetal growth restriction (FGR) was associated with an accelerated reduction in stillbirth rate (BJOG xxxx). The reduction was most marked in stillbirths with a birth weight
Hepatoportal Venous Trauma: Analysis of Incidence, Morbidity, and Mortality.
OBJECTIVES:Although traumatic injuries to the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), portal vein (PV), and hepatic vein (HV) are rare, their impact is significant. Small single center reports estimate mortality rates ranging from 29% to 100%. Our aim is to elucidate the incidence and outcomes associated with each injury due to unique anatomic positioning ...
Definitive-intent intensity-modulated radiation therapy for treatment of canine prostatic carcinoma: a multi-institution...
Published in Veterinary and comparative oncology
No standard of care is currently recognized for treatment of canine prostatic carcinoma (PC). This retrospective study assesses outcome following definitive-intent, intensity-modulated radiation therapy in dogs with PC. Medical records review was performed, including 18 patients from 4 institutions undergoing definitive-intent IMRT to treat PC. Dia...
Change in Functional Moderate Mitral Regurgitation after Aortic Valve Replacement
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the changes of the mitral valve geometrics and the degrees of moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis (AS). Methods: A retrospective analysis study of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and postoperative transthoracic echocardiogr...
δ-Oscillation Correlates of Anesthesia-induced Unconsciousness in Large-scale Brain Networks of Human Infants.
t(20;21)(q11;q22) RUNX1/NOL4L
Review on t(20;21)(q11;q22), with data on clinics, and the genes involved.
Nasopharyngeal Width and Its Association With Sleep-Disordered Breathing Symptoms in Children.
Published in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology
Although adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the main cause of sleep-disordered breathing in children, surrounding anatomic factors, such as the width of the nasopharynx, can affect upper airway patency. However, there have been no reports of the association of nasopharyngeal width with sleep-disordered breathing in children. This study was undertaken to...
Impact of hospital safety-net status on failure to rescue after major cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND:Hospitals with safety-net status have been associated with inferior surgical outcomes and higher costs. The mechanism of this discrepancy, however, is not well understood. We hypothesized that discrepant rates of failure to rescue after complications of routine cardiac surgery would explain the observed inferior outcomes at safety-net ho...
Effect of donor type and conditioning regimen intensity on allogeneic transplantation outcomes in patients with sickle c...
...
BACKGROUND:Donors other than matched siblings and low-intensity conditioning regimens are increasingly used in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We aimed to compare the relative risk of donor type and conditioning regimen intensity on the transplantation outcomes of in patients with sickle cell disease. METHODS:For this retrospective cohort...
