This study aimed to identify the predictive factors associated with the oncological outcomes of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer-related genes. A nomogram for predicting prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS) was constructed based on biopsy samples obtained from 103 patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. We analyzed the association between clinical data and mRNA expression levels.

This study aimed to compare postoperative lymphatic leakage between the polymer ligation clip and vessel sealer, and evaluated the costs associated with the former. Methods The study enrolled patients who underwent RARP with PLND at our institution between April 2018 and March 2023 and were treated with a vessel sealer (LigaSure Blunt Tip 44 NC; Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) until September 2021, and Hem-o-lok polymer ligation clips(Teleflex, Wayne, PA, USA) thereafter.

Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT performed at the time of lung cancer surgery did not recognize any accumulation, but PET-CT performed this time confirmed the accumulation of standardized uptake value( SUV) max 5.57.

- - The study examines the need for larger diagnostic catheters (like the JL5) for left coronary angiography (CAG) in patients with a dilated ascending aorta, focusing on aortic parameters that impact this decision.
- - Researchers compared two patient groups based on the catheter used (JL4 vs. JL5) and found that those needing the JL5 had longer procedures, more contrast used, and significant differences in aortic measurements.
- - Results indicated that a maximum ascending aorta area greater than 1111.2 mm is a key predictor for using the JL5 catheter, suggesting that starting with a larger catheter may improve procedures for patients with an ascending aorta diameter over 38 mm.
