OBJECTIVES: We sought to assess the relationship between stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) before radioactive iodine therapy (RIT), and the dynamic risk stratification 1 year after treatment, and to establish the utility of the sTg as a predictor of res...
This is a retrospective case-control study.The aim of this study was to compare the surgical results of percutaneous kyphoplasty (KP) and posterior spinal fixation with vertebroplasty (PSF+VP) for treatment of Kümmell disease (KD).KD is rare form of ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the technical feasibility and homogeneity of drug distribution of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) based on a novel process of intraperitoneal drug application (multidirectional aerosolization).
Denervation due to amputation is known to induce cortical reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex. Although there is evidence that reorganization does not lead to a complete loss of the representation of the phantom limb, it is unclear to what exte...
BACKGROUND: Emergence agitation (EA) occurs frequently after nasal surgery. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists and analgesics, such as fentanyl, have been shown to prevent EA. Nefopam inhibits the NMDA receptor and shows a potent analge...
There has been an increase in deaths from cardiovascular diseases following breast cancer therapy. Evidence has shown that this outcome is, in part, associated with cardiotoxicity induced by the chemotherapeutic drugs and the increase in oxidative st...
Our objective was to determine which of 2 split-time AI programs applied to suckled beef cows would result in greater pregnancy risk. Suckled beef cows (n = 1,062) at 12 locations in 4 states (CO, KS, MY, and WA) were enrolled. Cows were treated on d...
