BACKGROUND Currently, the laparoscopic technique is widely used for living donor nephrectomy. Does it provides adequate safety and benefits for the living donor? We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) as well as an analysis of postoperative quality of life compared with the open donor nephrectomy (ODN). METHODS Eligible studies...

This study investigated the effects on the measurement of fractional anisotropy (FA) during interpolation of diffusion tensor images in spatial normalization, which is required for voxel-based statistics. Diffusion tensor imaging data were obtained from nine male patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and nine age-matched control subjects. Regions of interest were selected from ...

Morphologic dysplasia remains the criterion standard of cancer risk in Barrett esophagus but poses many challenges including distinction from reactive inflammatory change. Gastric foveolar dysplasia, a newly described subtype comprising 15% to 20% of Barrett dysplasia, overlaps with reactive cardiac mucosa in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Despite the clinical importance of accurate di...

There is a growing body of evidence implicating aberrant circadian clock expression in the development of cancer. Based on our initial experiments identifying a putative interaction between BRCA1 and the clock proteins Per1 and Per2, as well as the reported involvement of the circadian clock in the development of cancer, we have performed an expression analysis of the circadian clock genes Per1...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ARHSP-TCC is characterized by progressive leg spasticity, ataxia, and cognitive dysfunction. Although mutations in the human SPG11 gene were identified as responsible for ARHSP-TCC, the cerebral fiber integrity has not been assessed systemically. The objective of this study was to assess cerebral fiber integrity and its clinical significance in patients with ARHSP-TCC. ...

Accurate lumpectomy cavity definition is critical in breast treatment planning. We compared contouring lumpectomy cavity volume and cavity visualization score (CVS) with CT versus 3T MRI. 29 patients were imaged with CT and 3T MRI. Seven additional boost planning sets were obtained for 36 image sets total. Three observers contoured the lumpectomy cavity on all images, assigning a cavity visuali...

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has surpassed the number of open repairs (OAR) in centers across country over last decade. Decreased opportunities for operative OAR training fellowship programs and potential more complicated anatomy may lead to worse patient outcomes. The purpose this study is compare outcomes from before (OAR1) after (OAR2) EVAR numbers within our institution. A retrospect...
