A postoperative nomogram developed in 1999 by Kattan et al. has been externally validated, but needs improvement. This tool predicts well but not perfectly. The Genomic Evaluators of Metastatic Prostate Cancer (GEMCaP) biomarkers hold promise for improving this tool; however, a larger data set that permits more involved analyses is needed.

OBJECTIVES To assess the implications of different nephrolithometry scoring systems (NLSS) on clinical practice of endourologists to predict stone-free status (SFS) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). METHODS A web-based survey was sent to members of the Endourological Society. Demographic and practice pattern data were collected. Multiple-choice and open-ended questions were used to a...

prolonged, this treatment leads to a considerable error in the DL value. In order to eliminate this error a correction factor of the inspiration time was newly introduced to obtain the effective inspiration time. The correction factor was a function of the ratio of the residual capacity to the total alveolar gas volume and the ratio of DL to the flow rate of inspiration. A nomogram was made for...

The impact of surgical resection on the long-term outcome GIST patients with initially diagnosed synchronous hepatic metastases in targeted therapy era is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate role hepatectomy treatment aforementioned and establish clinical predictive models for assessing prognosis these patients. We identified data from Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results (SEER) ...

NOMOGRAMS ARE used regularly in our laboratory for various routine calculations (1). A frequent calculation, which may be performed rapidly with the nomogram presented here, is typified by the colorimetric determination of glucose concentration with a reaction in which absorbance decreases as glucose concentration increases (Figure 1). The system uses an AutoAnalyzer and depends upon the reduct...

Abstract Background The role of surgery for the primary tumor in breast cancer patients with bone metastases (BM) remains unclear. purpose this study was to determine impact BM and develop prognostic nomograms predict overall survival (OS) BM. Methods A total 3956 from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database between 2010 2016 were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) used eliminat...
