[Radial Head Replacement: Management of Elbow and Forearm Instability after Comminuted Radial Head Fractures Associated with Elbow Dislocation].

Purpose Of The Study: This manuscript aims to identify an indication algorithm for the surgical treatment of radial head fractures associated with elbow dislocation. The study compares the mid-term functional outcomes of patients with multifragment radial head fracture treated by resection with the outcomes of patients treated with radial head replacement.

Material And Methods: The cohort of 34 patients who sustained a radial head fracture at the mean age of 42.

Redesign of radiotherapy for prostate cancer: a proposal for universal healthcare systems.

This study was designed to recommend strategies to improve prostate patients' access to radiotherapy treatment in the Brazilian Unified Health System, along with a cost-tool to support radiotherapy care pathways' lead times and costs. Data was collected prospectively from patients with prostate cancer receiving radiotherapy in two Brazilian centers to provide data to apply design thinking and process reengineering techniques. The current status of the radiotherapy pathway was determined and the length of time taken for in-hospital activities was measured using data exported from ARIA.

[Our Initial Experience with Radial Head Replacement].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY A single treatment procedure for multi-fragmented non-reconstructible radial head fractures has not been established as of yet. One of the available treatment methods can be the implantation of an endoprosthesis, but there is no consensus in available publications. We therefore decided to trial their use and to obtain our own experience.

Efficacy and toxicity of reduced vs. standard dose pegylated asparaginase in adults with Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Incorporation of asparaginase (ASNase) and pegylated asparaginase (PEG-ASP) into pediatric-inspired regimens for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has led to improved treatment outcomes albeit with increased toxicities. This study compared the efficacy and safety of the Children's Oncology Group standard PEG-ASP (SD) dosing (>1000, median 2500 IU/m/dose) in adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL patients receiving multiagent chemotherapy vs reduced dose PEG-ASP (RED) (≤1000, median 500 IU/m/dose) during induction. 51 patients were included, 26 in RED and 25 in SD (median age 49 vs 37 years,  = .

[Indication for Radial Head Resection in Traumatology].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of our study was to determine the indications for radial head resection at the present day. MATERIAL AND METHODS The radial head resection was performed in the period from 2008 to 2015 in 63 patients divided into three groups. The first group marked "CR" consisted of 33 patients with the Mason type III fracture.
