Article Synopsis
- Socioeconomic determinants of health (SDOH) are often overlooked in assessing risks for urological surgeries, which may lead to disparities in patient outcomes, particularly after minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP).
- A study using data from over 100,000 patients revealed that about 6% reported SDOH, which were linked to a 24% increased risk of complications post-surgery, including higher rates of urinary tract infections and acute kidney injuries.
- The findings highlight the need for healthcare systems to address SDOH to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications after procedures like MIRP.
Background: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore communication for movement- and/or speech-impaired individuals by enabling neural control of computer typing applications. Single command click detectors provide a basic yet highly functional capability.
Methods: We sought to test the performance and long-term stability of click decoding using a chronically implanted high density electrocorticographic (ECoG) BCI with coverage of the sensorimotor cortex in a human clinical trial participant (ClinicalTrials.
Article Synopsis
- * The survey had a 28.6% completion rate with 201 responses, revealing that while about half of the institutions using SP platforms have done so for over 2 years, structured training is limited, leading to concerns about hands-on experience and the learning curve associated with SP procedures.
- * Despite recognizing the clinical benefits of SP surgery, many trainees do not view proficiency in it as essential for career advancement; however, predictors of future SP implementation include academic aspirations and the availability of SP platforms
Background: Penile cancer (PeCa) is a rare disease. HPV infection, smoking, phimosis, and lichen sclerosus represent well-known associated risk factors.
Objectives: Primary aim of our study is to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of PeCa and to outline the adopted diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
