Background: The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) does not consider factors extrinsic to the observation of interest, such as concurrent LR-5 observations.
Purpose: To evaluate whether the presence of a concurrent LR-5...
Objective: Different staging systems have been developed to assess the severity of laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS). In this study, we assess the effects of stenotic length based on the McCaffrey staging system and constriction in cross-sectional...
Objective:
Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is associated with increased risk of post-partum hemorrhage and severe maternal morbidity (SMM). The current literature lacks large multicenter studies of cesarean hysterectomy...
Purpose
To determine the impact of race, socioeconomic deprivation, and insurance status on imaging surveillance adherence in a 5-year period after index diagnosis and surgical resection of a bone or soft tissue sarcoma at a single, large...
Background and objective: Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are carbohydrates abundant in human breast milk. Their composition varies widely among women, and prior research has identified numerous factors contributing to this variation. However,...
Objective: Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV), a process of vascular damage accelerated by antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), is the leading cause of cardiac transplant failure. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are utilized to treat AMR; however,...
Background:
The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is considered the gold standard in the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence, particularly for male patients. The AUS is a fluid-filled hydraulic system comprised of a urethral...
Hypothesis:
We sought to evaluate whether surgical excision of major peripheral nerve neuromas (MPN) would reduce the use of opioids in patients with preoperative opioid use. Secondarily, we sought to determine whether additional surgical...
Background: Glenoid bone loss remains one of the most significant risk factors for recurrent instability following surgical management of glenohumeral instability. Controversy exists regarding the optimal procedure for reconstructing glenoid bone...
Background: In patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), early risk stratification is essential in order to determine effective therapeutic management. Right ventricle to left ventricle (RV/LV) ratio measurement is a strong predictor of...
