A Combination of Cell Findings Improves the Accuracy of Voided Urine Cytology.

Introduction: Urine cytology is a morphological diagnostic test that is, patient-friendly and easy to sample but subjective in morphological evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of combining cell findings to assess urine cytology.

Materials And Methods: Thirty cell findings found in high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) were selected for morphological abnormalities, each with detailed definitions.

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Accuracy of Super-Flexible Three-Dimensional Heart Models of Congenital Heart Disease Made via Stereolithography Printing and Vacuum Casting: A Multicenter Clinical Trial.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an advanced technology for accurately understanding anatomy and supporting the successful surgical management of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). We aimed to evaluate whether our super-flexible 3D heart models could facilitate preoperative decision-making and surgical simulation for complex CHD. The super-flexible heart models were fabricated by stereolithography 3D printing of the internal and external contours of the heart from cardiac computed tomography (CT) data, followed by vacuum casting with a polyurethane material similar in elasticity to a child's heart.

Impact of the Individual Operator Experience and Learning Curve of a Novel Size Adjustable Cryoballoon.

Background: Cryoballoon ablation is less operator-dependent than radiofrequency ablation. Recently, size-adjustable cryoballoons (SA-CBs) have become available. We sought to analyze the individual baseline operator experience's impact on procedural results.

Management Challenges in Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy: A Case Report of Hemothorax Requiring Reoperation.

BACKGROUND Coagulopathy caused by trauma itself is defined as trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). The pathophysiology of TIC is considered to consist of coagulation activation, hyperfibrinolysis, and consumption coagulopathy, similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This report describes a 68-year-old man with a history of epilepsy presenting with TIC associated with multiple traumatic fractures and hemothorax.
