Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine trends in radical prostatectomy in New York State for the period 1991-1993. A retrospective analysis was conducted of all radical prostatectomies performed on hospitalized male Medicare beneficiaries in New York State for the period 1991-1993. Basic trend data were also analyzed for 1990. Pattern analysis was conducted on the 4,154 procedures performed between 1990-1993. In depth hospital chart review was conducted of the 220 cases of radical prostatectomy performed in patients 75 years of age and over between 1991 and 1993 and of a random sample of 263 of 1,266 patients 70-74 years of age. A total of 452 hospital charts were examined for a broad range of information, including family history and therapeutic preferences, preoperative work-up, staging, intraoperative and postoperative transfusions, postoperative complications, and mortality. The rate of radical prostatectomy dramatically rose among New York State male Medicare beneficiaries between 1990 and 1992 and remained at a high plateau in 1993. Pattern analysis revealed a tripling of the procedure rate among those 70-74 years of age and a doubling of the rate in those 75 years of age and older. It was also found that a high proport...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
