Fluorescence-guided extended pelvic lymphadenectomy during robotic radical prostatectomy.

We evaluated and described the impact of prostatic indocyanine green (ICG) injection on extended pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection (ePLND) in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Between January 2019 and December 2021, we included consecutive 50 PCa patients who underwent ePLND during RARP with (n = 25) or without (n = 25) prostatic ICG injection. ICG injection was performed during abdominal port placement and robot docking.

A meta-analysis for the role of aminoglycosides and tigecyclines in combined regimens against colistin- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections.

We aimed to describe the effect of aminoglycosides and tigecycline to reduce the mortality in colistin- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (ColR-CR-Kp) infections. We included the studies with defined outcomes after active or non-active antibiotic treatment of ColR-CR-Kp infections. The active treatment was defined as adequate antibiotic use for at least 3 days (72 h) after the diagnosis of ColR-CR-Kp infection by culture.

Modification of Extracellular Matrix Enhances Oncolytic Adenovirus Immunotherapy in Glioblastoma.

Purpose: Extracellular matrix (ECM) component hyaluronan (HA) facilitates malignant phenotypes of glioblastoma (GBM), however, whether HA impacts response to GBM immunotherapies is not known. Herein, we investigated whether degradation of HA enhances oncolytic virus immunotherapy for GBM.

Experimental Design: Presence of HA was examined in patient and murine GBM.
