Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA. Electronic address:
The impact of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 pandemic on surgical training in the United States remains a controversial topic. In this study, we examined resident and fellow operative volumes in the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods across ten different surgical specialties. Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) national data reports were collected for ten surgical specialties, including general surgery, neurological surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, pediatric surgery, plastic surgery (independent), thoracic surgery, urology, vascular surgery (integrated), and vascular surgery (traditional).

Urology Department, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Introduction: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is known to have a steep learning curve. The top-down technique was introduced to lessen the number of procedures required to master HoLEP. We aimed to present the experiences of two successive clinical fellows with the top-down HoLEP learning curve and compare their performance with the supervisor.

Healthcare (Basel)
November 2024
Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN 37203, USA.
Background: A comparison of the operations of Clinical Cancer Centers and Comprehensive Cancer Centers across Europe provides novel data on the interrelation between different factors in care delivery.
Method: The analysis is based on a survey of key dimensions in care delivery, comparing routine treatment, advanced technology integration, research participation, and innovation adoption across the two types of centers.
Results: Clinical Cancer Centers excel in providing routine cancer treatment through multidisciplinary teams but struggle with advanced technology integration and research participation.
Measurement of tissue optical properties in the 400 to 700 nm range to assess light penetration depths for laser treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinomas.

December 2024
Osaka University, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka, Japan.
Significance: For therapeutic approaches for upper tract urothelial carcinomas, the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of these tissues are essential parameters to quantitatively evaluate the distribution of light treatment effects.
Aim: The and spectra of the human ureter, fatty tissue, ureteral and renal pelvic carcinomas, and porcine ureter and fatty tissue are measured over 400 to 700 nm to evaluate projected light penetration depths .
Approach: The optical properties were determined with a double integrating sphere optical system and inverse Monte Carlo methods.
