Background: The ovarian cancer (OC) preclinical detectable phase (PCDP), defined as the interval during which cancer is detectable prior to clinical diagnosis, remains poorly characterised. We report exploratory analyses from the United Kingdom Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS).
Methods: In UKCTOCS between Apr-2001 and Sep-2005, 101,314 postmenopausal women were randomised to no screening (NS) and 50,625 to annual multimodal screening (MMS) (until Dec-2011) using serum CA-125 interpreted by the Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm (ROCA).
Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgical method for treating gallbladder issues, known for causing less pain and facilitating quicker recovery.
- A study of 200 patients from 2017 to 2022 found significant correlations between the patients' age and complications, with a readmission rate of 10% and an average hospital stay of 3.6 days.
- Findings highlighted various complications, such as a 6% rate of wound infections and 2.5% of bile duct injuries, indicating the need for improved patient assessment and care following LC.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare pregnancy outcomes between women with PCOS and a control group, assessing maternal-fetal health and birth outcomes through data collected from 2017 to 2022.
- - Results showed women with PCOS had higher incidences of preeclampsia (12.3% vs. 8.1%) and gestational diabetes (18.7% vs. 9.8%) compared to the control group, highlighting increased risks associated with PCOS.
- - However, there were no significant differences in low birth weight or preterm delivery, indicating the complexity of PCOS's impact on pregnancy and the need for further research to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies.
Background: "Proximal humerus fractures [PHFs]" are common orthopedic injuries, often requiring surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. However, the choice of surgical approach remains controversial, with varying outcomes reported in the literature.
Methods: A retrospective research was overseen among subjects who had surgery for PHFs.
Background: There has been a significant increase in the utilization of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in recent years. Cardiothoracic surgery teams have historically led VA-ECMO care teams, with little data available on alternative care models.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of a cardiovascular medicine inclusive VA-ECMO service, analyzing patients treated with peripheral VA-ECMO at a large quaternary care center from 2018 to 2022.
