NSQIP Indexed Complications Following Transurethral Bladder Tumor Resection and Contemporary Financial Implications.

Introduction: We determined the incidence of NSQIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Project) indexed complications by tumor size and investigated the related financial implications based on contemporary reimbursement schedules.

Methods: Transurethral bladder tumor resection procedures performed from 2010 to 2012 were identified and stratified by size specific CPT coding. Preoperative characteristics, surgical parameters and 30-day perioperative outcomes were compared using chi-square analysis and Student's t-test.

IgG4 can induce an M2-like phenotype in human monocyte-derived macrophages through FcγRI.

Antibodies evoke cellular responses through the binding of their Fc region to Fc receptors, most of which contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif domains and are thus considered "activating." However, there is a growing appreciation of these receptors for their ability to deliver an inhibitory signal as well. We previously described one such phenomenon whereby interferon (IFN)γ signaling is inhibited by immune complex signaling through FcγRI.
