Oncological outcomes of visibly complete transurethral resection prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for bladder cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the potential oncologic benefit of a visibly complete transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT) prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC).

Materials And Methods: We identified patients who received NAC and RC between 2011-2021. Records were reviewed to assess TURBT completeness.

Hepatoportal Sclerosis-A Clinicopathologic Review of 28 Cases.

Background And Aims: The aim of this study was to review a large series of cases with hepatoportal sclerosis (HPS) as a pathologically recognizable entity in liver tissue specimens and describe the associated clinical and radiographic manifestations, along with the outcomes of this entity.

Methods: Data were collected through a retrospective chart review.

Results: Twenty-eight patients were identified that had pathologically defined HPS.

Kinetics of Phenotype Modification Therapy with VISTA: A Retrospective Case Series Using 3D Digital Analysis.

Phenotype modification therapy has emerged as one of the main treatment objectives of periodontal plastic surgery. However, long-term data on the stability of gingival thickness gains are not available. This study examined the kinetics of mucosal thickness gain as a measure of phenotype modification therapy following treatment of multiple gingival recession defects with vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA).

International Multi-institutional Characterization of the Perioperative Morbidity of Metastasectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Background: Surgical resection of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has been associated with better cancer-specific survival; however, high-quality data on its perioperative morbidity are lacking. Existing population-based data are severely limited by reliance on billing claims to identify outcomes, which may overestimate events owing to a lack of code specificity.

Objective: To study 30-d complications after metastasectomy for mRCC.

Guided Bone Regeneration in the Edentulous Atrophic Maxilla Using Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral (DBBM) Combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)-A Prospective Study.

Background: Bone regeneration procedures represent a major challenge in oral surgery. This study aimed to evaluate a composite PRF/particulate xenograft in guided bone regeneration.

Methods: Edentulous patients with horizontal ridge deficiencies in the anterior maxilla and candidates to an immediate-loading full-arch rehabilitation were included.
