Introduction: Laser prostatic enucleation is an increasingly popular technique among surgical urology. It is now gradually becoming a contender for gold standard surgical treatments, trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP).
Materials And Methods: This study is based on data collected from sources published between June 1995 and June 2017. Medline and Embase database have been used to research the following keywords: Holmium; Thulium; Greenlight; Laser; Prostate; Enucleation; Benign prostatic obstruction; Surgical technique.
Results: With HoLEP process, catheterization time varies from 17,7hrs to 46,4hrs with 2 to 2.5 hospitalization days. With ThuLEP process, catheterization time varies from 2 to 2.5 days with 2.15 to 6.5 hospitalization days. With GreenLEP process, catheterization and hospitalization times are both 2 days. IPSS score after a year varies from 12.7 to 19.1 points in different publications.
Conclusion: Convincing results of Laser prostatic enucleation make it a valid alternative to existing treatments.

Developing a Computational Phenotype of the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for Inpatients.

Centre for Health Informatics, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 4Z6, Canada.
: The fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI) introduced the differentiation of acute myocardial injury from MI. In this study, we developed a computational phenotype for distinct identification of acute myocardial injury and MI within electronic medical records (EMRs). : Two cohorts were used from a Calgary-wide EMR system: a chart review of 3042 randomly selected inpatients from Dec 2014 to Jun 2015; and 11,685 episodes of care that included cardiac catheterization from Jan 2013 to Apr 2017.

: This study presents a systematic approach using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to assess the necessity of routine imaging after central venous catheter (CVC) placement and removal. With pneumothorax being a key complication of CVC procedures, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing imaging protocols and minimizing unnecessary imaging risks. We analyzed electronic health records from four university hospitals in Salzburg, Austria, focusing on X-rays performed between 2012 and 2021 following CVC procedures.

The aims of this study were to develop a questionnaire on peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) maintenance, evaluate its content validity, and assess factors influencing the level of knowledge of nursing professionals regarding best practices.The study was conducted in 3 stages: (1) development of a questionnaire on PIVC maintenance; (2) content validity assessment by experts with assessment of comprehensiveness, relevance, and clarity; and (3) application of the questionnaire to 1493 nursing professionals. Relationships between personal characteristics and knowledge levels were evaluated.

The right heart catheterization (RHC) remains an important diagnostic tool for a spectrum of cardiovascular disease processes including pulmonary hypertension (PH), shock, valvular heart disease, and unexplained dyspnea. While it gained widespread utilization after its introduction, the role of the RHC has evolved to provide valuable information for the management of advanced therapies in heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock (CS) to name a few. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview on the indications, utilization, complications, interpretation, and calculations associated with RHC.

We hypothesized that PA flow characteristics vary according to PH etiology. In this study, we used 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to compare PA flow velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) between patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and pulmonary hypertension (PH-HFpEF).
