Background: We evaluated different techniques of donor nephrectomy.
Methods: Outcomes of 4 surgical approaches (open surgery [OS], standard laparoscopy [SL], hand-assisted laparoscopy [HAL], and robot-assisted la`paroscopy [RAL]) were compared.
Results: A total of 264 nephrectomies were performed: 65 in the OS group, 65 in the SL group, 65 in the HAL group, and 69 in RAL group. Operative time was longer for the RAL group (P < .001) with a mean time of 202 minutes (RAL), 182 minutes (OS), 173 minutes (SL), and 157 minutes (HAL). Complications (P = .002) and consumption of morphine derivates (P = .31) were lower for the RAL group (P = .0002). The visual analog scale pain scores (P = .002), hospital stay (P = .023), and time to return to full activities (P = .79) were higher for OS.
Conclusions: The 4 different nephrectomy surgical approaches had similar favorable results. The robot-assisted technique presented as an alternative option, with low incidence of complications, less pain, and results comparable to the other techniques.

Background Pulmonary function tests are central to diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases but do not provide information on regional lung function heterogeneity. Fluorine 19 (F) MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane permits quantitative and spatially localized assessment of pulmonary ventilation properties without tracer gas hyperpolarization. Purpose To assess regional lung ventilation properties using F MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane in participants with asthma, participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and healthy participants, including quantitative evaluation of bronchodilator response in participants with respiratory disease.

Background: Real-world data on treatment patterns and clinical outcomes for newer drugs, including integrase strand transfer inhibitors, among older people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) are limited.
Methods: This cohort study included PWH enrolled in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) who were prescribed a standard 3-drug antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen containing dolutegravir (DTG), bictegravir (BIC), cobicistat boosted elvitegravir (EVG), raltegravir (RAL), or darunavir/ritonavir (DRV) plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors between January 1, 2014, and March 31, 2020, and who were ≥50 years at regimen initiation. The association between regimen and virologic effectiveness or discontinuation was assessed using logistic regression models with inverse probability of treatment weights.
Real-World Evidence on Adverse Events and Healthcare Resource Utilization in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia in Spain Using Natural Language Processing: The SRealCLL Study.

The SRealCLL study described the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and healthcare resource utilization in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) using artificial intelligence in a real-world scenario in Spain. We collected real-world data on patients with CLL from seven Spanish hospitals between January 2016 and December 2018, focusing on their AE and healthcare service utilization. Data extraction from electronic health records of 385,904 patients was performed using the EHRead technology, which is based on natural language processing and machine learning.

Aim of this study was to analyze the effect of medical compression stockings (MCS) class I (according to the German classification "RAL-GZ 387"; 18-21 mmHg) on symptoms in patients with uncomplicated varicose veins (C2s-C4a). We conducted a randomized (1:1), controlled, clinical trial enrolling patients with uncomplicated varicose veins (CEAP: C2s-C4a). The study consisted of a one-week baseline period and a four-week follow-up period with MCS treatment (compression class I, 18-21 mmHg) in the intervention group and non-treatment in the control group.
