Incontinence after Prostate Treatment: AUA/SUFU Guideline.

Purpose: Urinary incontinence after prostate treatment (IPT) is one of the few urologic diseases that is iatrogenic, and, therefore, predictable and perhaps preventable. Evaluation of the incontinent patient, risk factors for IPT, the assessment of the patient prior to intervention, and a stepwise approach to management are covered in this guideline. Algorithms for patient evaluation, surgical management, and device failure are also provided.

Characterization of mandibular fractures incurred from battle injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001-2010.

Purpose: The mandible is the most commonly fractured bone in the craniomaxillofacial skeleton among military casualties. The purpose of this study was to characterize the nature and severity of mandibular fractures incurred by US military personnel during combat.

Materials And Methods: We queried the Joint Theater Trauma Registry from October 2001 to April 2011 using all pertinent International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes to identify fractures of the mandible.

Characterization of midface fractures incurred in recent wars.

Background: Facial injuries sustained by US military personnel during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have increased compared with past conflicts. Characterization of midface fractures (orbits, maxilla, zygoma, and nasal bones) sustained on the battlefield is needed to improve our understanding of these injuries, to optimize treatment, and to potentially direct strategic development of protective equipment in the future.

Methods: The military's Joint Theater Trauma Registry was queried for midface fractures from 2001 to 2011 using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis codes.

The history of lobectomy and segmentectomy including sleeve resection.

The evolution of pulmonary lobectomy during the past six centuries is presented. The anesthetic problems of an open thorax, the absence of antibiotics, and the absence of radiology initially complicated thoracic surgery. Surgical pioneers differed strongly on the best techniques for lobectomy.

Combined modality therapy for stage III non-small cell lung carcinoma: results of treatment and patterns of failure.

Patients with Stage III non-small cell lung carcinoma continue to pose a therapeutic problem with dismal cure rates. In an effort to improve on these results, 129 patients with biopsy-proven clinical Stage III non-small cell lung carcinoma from November 1982 through November 1987, were entered into two consecutive Phase II studies at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center.
