Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM:

To evaluate outcomes in patients with low-risk prostate cancer treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy (HyRT).
PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Between April 2004 and December 2015, 175 patients with low-risk prostate cancer were treated with HyRT 60 Gy in 20 fractions with or without image guidance and reduction of margin from clinical target volume to planning target volume.
RESULTS:

.Treatment intensification to maximize disease control and reduced intensity approaches to minimize the risk of late sequelae have been evaluated in newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma. The influence of these interventions on the risk of secondary malignant neoplasms, progression-free survival and overall survival is reported in the meta-analysis herein, based on individual patient data from 9498 patients treated within 16 randomized controlled trials for newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma between 1984 and 2007.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS:

Correlation of physiologically important electromyographic (EMG) waveforms with demonstrable muscle activation is important for the reliable interpretation of evoked waveforms during intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) of the vagus nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) in thyroid surgery.
STUDY DESIGN:

Retrospective chart review.
METHODS:

Background Acute respiratory failure is a rare life threatening complication following thyroid surgery and its incidence is reported as high as 0.9%. Clinical presentation of severe acute respiratory failure is characterized by dyspnea, inspiratory airways distress, hypoxia and its standard current management is the orotracheal intubation and safe extubation. In case of persistent distress, tracheotomy is mandatory. The Authors, analysing a large acute respiratory failure clinical series, describe an innovative treatment of this severe condition: the nasotracheal prolonged safe extubation.

INTRODUCTION:
Parathyroid damage or unintentional excision still affect thyroid surgery and may cause permanent hypoparathyroidism. The only way to recover the excised or ischemic gland functionality is still reimplantation. Many sites of reimplantation have been described, each of one showing both advantages and drawbacks. The aim of this study is to verify results of a new procedure called PR-FaST: Parathyroid Reimplantation in Forearm Subcutaneous Tissue, in a series of unselected patients after long-term follow-up.

Aim: In this study, we compared perioperative and oncologic outcomes of patients treated with either open or robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal neobladder at a tertiary care center. Methods: The institutional prospective bladder cancer database was queried for “cystectomy with curative intent” and “neobladder”.

Background: to Optimize Outcomes Reporting After Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy (Rarc) With Intracorporeal Orthotopic Neobladder (Ion), We Propose a Novel Trifecta, Aimed to Overcome The Available Pentafectas That Neglect FuncTional Outcomes. Methods: a Retrospective Analysis of Prospectively Maintained Rarc-Ion Dataset Was Performed. Baseline DemoGraphic, Clinical, Pathologic, Perioperative and Follow-Up Data Were Collected. Trifecta Was Defined As The Coexistence of Daytime Urinary Continence, Clavien-Dindo ≥3 Complication-Free and Recurrence-Free Status, All Assessed At 1 Year.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab (ADA) in children with ulcerative colitis (UC) previously treated with infliximab (IFX). Methods: Retrospective study including children with UC from a national registry who received ADA therapy. The primary endpoint was the rate of corticosteroid-free remission at week 52. Secondary outcomes were the rate of sustained clinical remission, primary nonresponse, and loss of response at weeks 12, 30, and 52 and rate of mucosal healing and side effects at week 52.

We sought to assess the magnitude of functional decline and the natural history of the operated kidney residual function after zero-ischemia nephron-sparing surgery (Z-NSS) in children with unilateral renal tumor (URT).

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the most common psychiatric disease in the general population, characterized by having a pattern of excessive drinking despite the negative effects of alcohol on the individual's work, medical, legal, educational, and/or social life. Currently, the bio-psycho-social model describes properly AUD as a multidimensional phenomenon including biological, psychological, and socio-cultural variables affecting the nature, maintenance, and expression of the disorder.
