Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the outcomes of 44 patients with recurrent glioblastoma who underwent reirradiation after an initial treatment, finding that median overall survival after the second treatment was 14.9 months.
- The most common reirradiation method used was 35 Gy in 10 fractions, with mild acute side effects and a 40% rate of radiological response; however, many patients also experienced early distant progressions.
- Factors like a Karnofsky index below 70 and smaller recurrence sizes were linked to better overall survival, suggesting reirradiation is a viable option, especially for patients in good health with smaller lesions.
Objective: Antineoplastic drugs are considered high risk, and computerized systems favor safe administration. The objective of the study was to test the usefulness and safety of a new mobile device compared to the standard device for administering these antineoplastic treatments.
Data Sources: This multicenter, quasi-experimental pre-post study assessed an intervention in two cancer centers in June and July 2020.
Background: Spinal anesthesia has been considered inappropriate for ambulatory surgery patients because of concern about voiding dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between voiding interval and type of surgery under spinal anesthesia with lidocaine and to identify other nonanesthetic risk factors for delayed voiding.
Patients And Methods: A prospective study of 406 patients undergoing to ambulatory surgery under spinal anesthesia with lidocaine was performed.
