Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a nomogram to predict the likelihood of pelvic lymph node metastases (ypN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nonmetastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, finding that ypN+ is linked to worse overall survival.
- - Data from 6,194 patients were analyzed, revealing that 22.8% of high-risk patients had ypN+, compared to only 8.0% in the low-risk group, with high-risk patients experiencing significantly shorter survival (36.1 vs. 74.0 months).
- - Key factors contributing to the nomogram included age, time from diagnosis to treatment, and the tumor’s histology and stage, making it a valuable tool for assessing risk
Article Synopsis
- The study identified factors that delay the start of salvage radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients post-prostatectomy, specifically focusing on PSA levels.
- It analyzed data from 81 patients treated between 2011 and 2022, noting that insurance type significantly influenced the timing of treatment initiation, with HMO and PPO patients more likely to experience delays.
- The findings highlight the importance of PSA monitoring and access to timely care, especially for patients with certain insurance plans, suggesting that healthcare policies may impact treatment outcomes.
Background: We have previously studied the physiological and mechanical responses of the eye to blunt trauma in various situations using finite element analysis (FEA). In this study, we evaluated the volume kinetics of an airbag impact on the eye using FEA to sequentially determine the volume change rates of intraocular segments at various airbag deployment velocities.
Methods: The human eye model we created was used in simulations with the FEA program PAM-GENERIS (Nihon ESI, Tokyo, Japan).
Purpose: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a refractory ocular allergic disorder that mainly affects boys. Long-term follow-up has been rarely reported for VKC. We investigated the long-term clinical outcome of VKC to identify relevant clinical features of prognostic value based on follow-up for a median of 70 months.
