Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a technique called Wide-bandwidth AFM-based ViscoElastic Spectroscopy (WAVES) to analyze how viscoelastic properties evolve from single cancer cells to larger tumor structures.
- * The study found that established tumors display increased stiffness and unique energy dissipation methods based on fluid-solid interactions, which are linked to cellular density and require a healthy actin cytoskeleton, revealing potential targets for cancer treatment.
Background: The authors describe a rare case of transient postoperative wrist and finger drop following a prone position minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lateral microdiscectomy.
Observations: Hand and wrist drop is an unusual complication following spine surgery, especially in prone positioning. The authors' multidisciplinary team assessed a patient with this complication following MIS lateral microdiscectomy.
Objective: To investigate outcomes and ascertain the safety and efficacy on patients having total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), stratified by body mass index (BMI), focusing on high-BMI patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that reviewed 2,266 patients with benign gynecologic diagnoses, early cervical, endometrial, and ovarian carcinoma from September 1996 to October 2017. BMI was from 14.
Objective: Compare quality of life metrics for consecutive patients having total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TLHBSO) with and without comprehensive pelvic/aortic lymphadenectomy (CPALND) from proximal to the distal circumflex iliac nodes and vessels to the renal vessels.
Methods: Analysis of mailed survey responses with 25 validated questions regarding musculoskeletal/lower extremity, gastro-intestinal, abdominal, urological, and energetic/activities of daily living. Data analyzed with Chi-Square tests of Association, Mann-Whitney U tests and follow up regression analysis.
Objective. To review the vaginal cuff complications from a large series of total laparoscopic hysterectomies in which the laparoscopic culdotomy closure was highly standardized. Methods.
