Bone scans were obtained in patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterus in order to search for occult skeletal metastases. Radiological studies in 350 patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterus treated at the University of Kentucky Medical Center were reviewed. All patients studied in Stage 1A, Stage 1BG1, and Stage G2 were negative. Bone scans performed since 1973 were reviewed. One out of 11 patients studied with G3 lesions had a positive scan. Four out of 41 patients with Stage 2 lesions had positive scans, seven out of 18 in Stage 3, and two out of nine in Stage 4 disease. Four out of 71 patients with recurrent tumor had positive scans. In general, all positive scans were associated with significant symptoms in the patients studied. The results correlated well with x-ray findings as evaluated by conventional radiologic studies.

Division of Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Introduction: Optimal hospital bed utilization requires innovative patient care models. We studied a novel hospitalist model utilizing telemedicine to facilitate collaboration with affiliated emergency departments (EDs) and support medical triage and care of ED patients with high likelihood of hospital admission.
Methods: Telehospitalists based at a tertiary care facility collaborated with four community EDs in the same healthcare network between January 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023.

Clinical trials (CTs) often suffer from small sample sizes due to limited budgets and patient enrollment challenges. Using historical data for the CT data analysis may boost statistical power and reduce the required sample size. Existing methods on borrowing information from historical data with right-censored outcomes did not consider matching between historical data and CT data to reduce the heterogeneity.
