Impact of aspirin on biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after robot assisted radical prostatectomy in a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

This study evaluated the impact of aspirin on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) rate following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients. A database search identified patients who underwent RARP for pT2-3N0M0 disease at any of 25 centers between 2011 and 2022, categorized into aspirin (n = 350) and control groups (n = 5857). Adjustment by 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) and Mahalanobis distance matching (MDM) created 350 matched pairs.

Impact of neurovascular bundle preservation on biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate functional and oncological outcomes in patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral nerve-sparing (NS) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for high-risk prostate cancer.

Methods: The cohort comprised 2683 patients with clinical stage T1-4, N0M0 high-risk prostate cancer who underwent RARP in Japanese tertiary care centers from August 2011 to April 2023. High risk was defined using the European Association of Urology risk stratification criteria.

The effectiveness of onodera`s prognostic nutritional in predicting the prognosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Purpose: To clarify the effects of preoperative nutritional evaluation on the prognosis of patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involves 126 consecutive patients who underwent radical surgery as their initial treatment and received treatment for >3 years. The markers considered in this study are GGT (γ-GTP), CAR (C-reactive protein (CRP)-to-Alb Ratio), GLR (GGT-to-Lymphocytes Ratio), GPR (GGT-to-Platelet ratio), GNR (GGT-to-Neutrophil ratio), NLR (Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio), PLR (platelet-to-lymphocytes ratio), OPNI (Onodera`s prognostic nutritional index), PINI (Prognostic Immune and Nutritional Index) and Albumin (Alb).

A Case of a Dentigerous Cyst with a Malformed Tooth in the Mandible of a Child.

This study reports a rare case of a dentigerous cyst in a malformed tooth in the mandible of a 5-year-old Japanese boy. Panoramic radiography revealed a cystic lesion with hard tissues inside. The patient underwent surgery under general anesthesia.
