Background: The utility of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in older patients remains controversial. Advancements in HER2-directed therapy have revolutionized disease response rates and prognosis, supporting efforts to reevaluate the utility of SLNB....
Introduction: Efforts to expand the lung transplant (LTx) donor pool have led to increased use of lungs from donors after circulatory death (DCD), with evidence demonstrating outcomes comparable to those from donors after brain death (DBD). Although...
Background: Malnutrition is a significant driver of mortality in cancer patients – with estimates that between 10-20% of cancer patients die due to the consequences of malnutrition rather than due to the tumor itself. Patients with head and neck cancer...
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 loss...
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 clinical...
Introduction: We assessed adherence to ACOG guidelines for antihypertensive medication initiation or titration among pregnant chronic hypertensive patients with blood pressure (BP) > 140/90 and patient characteristics associated with...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) who underwent early RTSA versus those who underwent delayed RTSA.
METHODS: A...
INTRODUCTION: In the context of value-based care, the influence of racial and socioeconomic factors on hip fracture outcomes remains underexplored. This study investigates the impact of the area deprivation index (ADI) on readmission rates and costs...

Background: The glenohumeral joint is the most frequently dislocated joint in the human body, and recurrent instability is common with...
Background: Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of p-tau181 have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The retina and vitreous have shown measurable quantities of phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau181). The aqueous humor, which can be...
