Increased Risk of Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 Infections in Patients with Colorectal Cancer: A Population-Based Propensity-Matched Analysis.

: This study aimed to investigate the association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and the risk of breakthrough respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in vaccinated patients with CRC. : This retrospective cohort study used the TriNetX research network to identify vaccinated patients with CRC. Patients were matched using propensity score matching (PSM) and divided into patients with CRC and control (without history of CRC) groups.

Prevalence and trends in urinary incontinence among women in the United States, 2005-2018.

Background: Women are disproportionately affected by urinary incontinence compared with men. Urinary incontinence results in physical and psychological adverse consequences and impaired quality of life and contributes to significant societal and economic burden. Previous studies reported high urinary incontinence burden in the United States.

Hematologic markers of distant metastases and poor prognosis in gynecological cancers.

Background: Despite the recent progress in the development of anti-cancer drugs, the treatment of metastatic tumors is usually ineffective. The systemic inflammatory response performs key roles in different stages of the carcinogenesis process including metastasis. The high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were found to be associated with poor survival rates in the majority of solid tumors.

Right coronary artery ligation in mice: a novel method to investigate right ventricular dysfunction and biventricular interaction.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction can lead to complications after acute inferior myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is unclear how RV failure after MI contributes to left-sided dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the consequences of right coronary artery (RCA) ligation in mice.

Factors influencing disposition decisions for patients seen in a psychiatric emergency service.

Objective: The study examined factors influencing clinicians' decisions about disposition of patients seen in a psychiatric emergency service.

Methods: A stratified random unduplicated retrospective sample of 378 patient records was drawn from the records of 1,823 patients who visited the emergency service of an acute care psychiatric hospital in Israel during a seven-month period. Patients were selected from each of the following dispositions: not admitted (N = 96), discharged after brief observation in the emergency service (N = 90), admitted to a open unit (N = 104), and admitted to a locked unit (N = 88).

Extraperitoneal endoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

The endoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty as reported in this study is a similar repair to that achieved by the conventional preperitoneal repair as described by Stoffa, Nyhus, and Rignault. However, this new repair is completed via a totally extraperitoneal approach. Thus, it eliminates all early and late complications related to the violation of the peritoneal cavity as proposed by other intraperitoneal laparoscopic approaches to hernia repair.
