Survival and Toxicities after Y Transarterial Radioembolization of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in the RESIN Registry.

Background Patients with unresectable, chemorefractory hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer have considerable mortality. The role of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium 90 (Y) microspheres is not defined because most reports are from a single center with limited patient numbers. Purpose To report outcomes in participants with colorectal cancer metastases treated with resin Y microspheres from a prospective multicenter observational registry.

A Case of Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation Treated With Uterine Artery Embolization.

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare condition that is potentially life-threatening. There are limited published reports on this condition. This is a case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented with a symptomatic AVM.

Tobacco dependence treatment: influence of training experiences on clinical activities among otolaryngologists.

Objectives/hypothesis: Although one in five U.S. adults continue to smoke, healthcare providers often fail to provide basic, effective interventions.

Pulse transit time by R-wave-gated infrared photoplethysmography: review of the literature and personal experience.

Objective: Pulse transit time (PTT) is the time it takes a pulse wave to travel between two arterial sites. A rela tively short PTT is observed with high blood pressure (BP), aging, arteriosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Most methods used for measuring the PTT are cumbersome and expensive.

Cardiovascular reactivity in fibromyalgia: evidence for pathogenic heterogeneity.

Objective: To evaluate disease-specific cardiovascular reactivity patterns in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) using a recently described method called fractal and recurrence analysis score (FRAS).

Methods: The study group included 30 women with FM, average age 46.7 years (SD 7.

Search for disease-specific cardiovascular reactivity patterns: developing the methodology.

Aberrations of CVR (cardiovascular reactivity), an expression of autonomic function, lack specificity for a particular disorder. Recently, a CVR pattern particular to chronic fatigue syndrome has been observed. In the present study, we aimed to develop methodologies for assessing disease-specific CVR patterns.
