The impact of indocyanine green on partial nephrectomy perioperative outcomes.

We conducted a retrospective analysis of the impact of indocyanine green (ICG) on perioperative outcomes in partial nephrectomy. The utility of ICG in partial nephrectomy remains unclear. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients at a single institution who underwent laparoscopic or robotic partial nephrectomy in 2014-2019.

Tumor characteristics in immunosuppressed and renal dysfunction populations.

Purpose: Renal transplantation and end-stage renal disease are increasingly common. Renal dysfunction and immunosuppression are two risk factors in the development of renal cell carcinoma. Carcinomas in these patients are thought to be more indolent, however data are limited and mixed.

Real-time semantic segmentation and anomaly detection of functional images for cell therapy manufacturing.

Background Aims: Cell therapy is a promising treatment method that uses living cells to address a variety of diseases and conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, neurologic disorders and certain cancers. As interest in cell therapy grows, there is a need to shift to a more efficient, scalable and automated manufacturing process that can produce high-quality products at a lower cost.

Methods: One way to achieve this is using non-invasive imaging and real-time image analysis techniques to monitor and control the manufacturing process.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors and events associated with second-generation antipsychotic compared to antidepressant use in a non-elderly adult sample: results from a claims-based inception cohort study.

This is a study of the metabolic and distal cardiovascular/cerebrovascular outcomes associated with the use of second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) compared to antidepressants (ADs) in adults aged 18-65 years, based on data from Thomson Reuters MarketScan® Research Databases 2006-2010, a commercial U.S. claims database.
