Comparison of Incisional Hernia Rates Between General and Gynecological Surgery Procedures Open
Background and Objectives: Incisional hernias are a common and costly complication of surgery, occurring in up to 20% of midline incisions within 3 years of initial operation. Risk factors for incisional hernia include incision site, fasci…

Acute Kidney Injury after Isolated Coronary Bypass Surgery Open
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is among the most serious of the common postoperative complications of cardiac surgeries, which can increase the short- and long-term morbidity and mortality of patients. This study aimed to examine possible risk …

Prevalence of low bone formation in untreated patients with osteoporosis Open
Background Osteoporosis treatment usually starts with an antiresorber and switches to an anabolic agent if it fails. It is known that suppressing bone resorption also results in reduced bone formation. In addition, patients with prior trea…

Low Turnover Renal Osteodystrophy With Abnormal Bone Quality and Vascular Calcification in Patients With Mild-to-Moderate CKD Open
Low bone turnover and VC are predominant in early stages of CKD. This is the first study demonstrating mineral abnormalities indicating reduced bone quality in these stages of CKD.

Ventral hernia repair with concomitant soft tissue excision improves satisfaction without increased costs Open
PURPOSE: Soft tissue management following ventral hernia repair (VHR) may impact wound complications and hernia recurrence. Rationales for soft tissue excision (STE) include ischemia, redundancy, potential space reduction, and cosmesis. Th…

Clinical outcomes vary for emergent and elective ventral hernia repair Open
PURPOSE: Elective ventral hernia repair (ELVHR) is generally performed for chronic symptoms, including pain, increasing size, intermittent obstruction, and cosmesis. Emergent ventral hernia repair (EMVHR) indications include acute symptoms…

Transfusion rates in emergency general surgery: high but modifiable Open
Background Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) increases morbidity and mortality, and emergency general surgery (EGS) cases have increased risk for transfusion and complication given case complexity and patient acuity. Transfusion reducti…

Clinical Factors Associated with Longer Hospital Stay Following Ovarian Cancer Surgery Open
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancy and is treated with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Extended length of stay (LOS) after surgery can affect pa…

Serum bone markers in ROD patients across the spectrum of decreases in GFR: Activin A increases before all other markers Open
Serum activin A levels increase starting at CKD 2 before elevations in intact PTH and FGF-23. Activin A correlates with bone turnover similar to intact PTH and FGF-23. These findings suggest a role for activin A in early development of ROD.

Time is money: quantifying savings in outpatient appendectomy Open
Background Laparoscopic appendectomy can be performed on a fast-track, short-stay, or outpatient basis with high success rates, low morbidity, low readmission rates, and shorter length of hospital stay. Cost savings from outpatient appende…

Experience with uncrossmatched blood refrigerator in emergency department Open
Background Uncrossmatched packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion is fundamental in resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. Ready availability of uncrossmatched blood can be achieved by storing uncrossmatched blood in a blood bank refrigerato…

Impact of Aortic Valve Replacement on Glycemic Control in Diabetes Mellitus Open
Introduction: The Framingham Studies revealed that diabetes mellitus (DM) predisposed subjects to a two- to eight-fold increase in the risk of developing heart failure (HF). However, there is much less information available about the rever…

Outcome of Patients With Small Vessel Vasculitis After Renal Transplantation: National Database Analysis Open
Background Small vessel vasculitis commonly affects the kidney and can progress to end-stage renal disease. The goal of this study is to compare outcomes of patients who received a renal transplant as a result of small vessel vasculitis (g…

Outcomes of Carotid Endarterectomy with Primary Closure Open
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis, although the optimal surgical technique is debated. The literature suggests that patch angioplasty reduces complication risk, althou…

Coronary artery calcification in CKD-5D
patients is tied to adverse cardiac function
and increased mortality Open
These findings show a link between CAC, cardiac function, and mortality in CKD-5D. LV diastolic function (E:E'), peak LV systolic velocity, and GLS are independent predictors of mortality. Valvular calcification may be an important marker …
