Background: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are increasingly common procedures employed to treat arthritic conditions. Although TSA is a widely accepted procedure for glenohumeral arthritis with intact rotator cuff, concerns about RTSA persist because of variable complication rates and outcomes.
Methods: This is a prospective, case-control study comparing outcomes and complications after TSA and RTSA.
Objective: To determine the role of miR-378 as a biomarker for anti-angiogenic therapy response in ovarian cancer.
Methods: Expression of miR-378 was analyzed in ovarian cancer cell lines and human tumors vs. normal ovarian epithelial cells by qRT-PCR.
Background: Despite advances in cancer research, the majority of drug applications submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are not approved.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a convenience sample of symptom surveys from gynecologic oncology patients at a single cancer center over a 20-month period. The survey was based on the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), and assessed pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue and well-being.
Background And Objectives: To analyze the utilization and hospital charges associated with robotic (RS) versus laparoscopic (LS) versus open surgery (OS) in endometrial cancer patients.
Methods: Hospital discharge data were extracted from Florida Agency for Health Care Administration between October 2008 and December 2009.
Results: Of 2,247 patients (median age: 64 years), 29% had RS, 10% had LS, and 61% had OS.
Objectives: While mentoring has been associated with research productivity, the specific characteristics of successful mentoring have not been well studied. Thus, we performed a case-control study to identify characteristics of successful mentoring programs.
Methods: Institutions were divided based on number of plenary research presentations at an annual society meeting over 6years.
Objective: To determine the actual costs, charges, and reimbursements associated with robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer.
Methods: Data were collected from hospital billing records, MD professional group billing records, tumor registry, and medical records on operations performed by a single surgeon from one institution between 2008 and 2010.
