Development and external validation of a model to predict recurrence in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Front Immunol
January 2025
School of Nursing, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, China.
Background: Most patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) still have frequent recurrence after urethral bladder tumor electrodesiccation supplemented with intravesical instillation therapy, and their risk of recurrence is difficult to predict. Risk prediction models used to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC have limitations, such as a limited number of included cases and a lack of validation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new models to compensate for the shortcomings and potentially provide evidence for predicting postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients.

Objective: To compare endophthalmitis rates after cataract extraction in patients with different preoperative prophylaxis: double povidone-iodine preparation with topical antibiotics versus a control group.
Methods: All cases of postoperative endophthalmitis over the last 17 years were reviewed. Incidence rates of endophthalmitis for all cataract surgeries (current procedural terminology codes 66982 and 66984) performed by 26 surgeons were calculated.

Cervical anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication following esophageal cancer surgery, leading to significant morbidity and risk of mortality. This case report describes the successful application of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) in managing AL after esophageal surgery. A 61-year-old patient developed an anastomotic leak on postoperative day 7, accompanied by persistent neck pain and leakage of nutritional fluids.

The technical demands are high, often leading to suboptimal outcomes. However, our innovative approach, which involves a patellar autograft from an intraoperatively cut femoral condyle placed into the extensor mechanism following cement resurfacing, has shown promising results.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of combining transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical instillation in treating high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HRNMIBC).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data from 118 HRNMIBC patients treated at Tongren Hospital between March 2020 and June 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups based on their treatment regimen: the control group (n=60) which received regular pirarubicin intravesical instillation, and the observation group (n=58) which received additional BCG intravesical instillation alongside pirarubicin.
