NPCR plans to expand this approach in alignment with ongoing cancer informatics efforts in clinical settings. The 50 CCRs supported by NPCR provide a variety of scenarios to develop and disseminate cancer data informatics initiatives and have tremendous potential to increase the implementation of cancer data exchange.
Key factors enabling ePath data exchange from laboratories to CCRs are having established cancer registry data standards and using a single platform/portal to reduce data streams. NPCR plans to expand this approach in alignment with ongoing cancer informatics efforts in clinical settings. The 50 CCRs supported by NPCR provide a variety of scenarios to develop and disseminate cancer data informatics initiatives and have tremendous potential to increase the implementation of cancer data exchange.The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training and abdominal training in women with stress urinary incontinence. The study included 64 female patients (aged 18 to 49 years) with stress urinary incontinence. Patients were randomly allocated into the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) or pelvic floor muscle plus abdominal training (PFMT+AT) groups. Clinical data included stress test results, pelvic floor activity measurements, and Urinary Distress Inventory, and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire responses. The increase in the pelvic floor muscle activity (from the 0th to the 4th week, from the 4th to the 8th week, and from the 0th to the 8th week) was significantly greater for the PFMT+AT group than for the PFMT group (p less then 0.05). The negativity rate of the stress test at the 4th week was significantly higher for the PFMT+AT group (93.7%) than for the PFMT group (53.1%) (p less then 0.001). Women with stress urinary incontinence benefit more from pelvic floor muscle training plus abdominal training than from pelvic floor muscle training alone in terms of increasing their pelvic floor muscle activity and quality of life, and they also experience an earlier recovery.Biliary strictures constitute a major source of morbidity and mortality following liver transplantation (LT). However, studies on the impact of nonanastomotic biliary strictures (NABS) on grafts after LT are limited. 649 patients who underwent LT between January 2013 and June 2017 at our center were retrospectively analyzed and 2.6% (n = 17) of the recipients developed NABS following LT. There were no differences between recipients with and without NABS in indication of LT, graft ischemia time, and type of biliary anastomosis. The incidence of post-LT hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) (odds ratio [OR] 15.75, P less then .001) and the use of livers from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors (OR 8.292, P = .004) were identified as independent significant predictors of NABS by multivariate analysis. Graft survival in those with NABS was significantly worse than in patients without NABS (1-, 3-, and 5-years survival 64.7%, 57.5%, 0%, vs. Belumosudil 89.8%, 84.0%, 76.4%, P less then .001). In conclusion, while the incidence of NABS in our study was relatively low compared to previous reports, NABS was still found to be associated with poor graft survival. Special attention should be paid to NABS occurrence in grafts that develop HAT as well as those from DCD donors.
To predict the progression of femoral head collapse in Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) Stage 2-3A osteonecrosis based on the initial bone resorption lesion.

A retrospective analysis of the location, attenuation, and maximum area in coronal position (MAC) of the initial bone resorption lesion in ARCO Stage 2 and 3A was conducted in 85 cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The cases were divided into rapid and slow progression groups according to whether femoral head collapse at follow-up was greater than 2 mm. The characteristics of the bone resorption lesion between the two groups were compared by analysis of variance. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the MAC, regions of A2, and C1 of bone resorption lesion in predicting collapse progression.

The MAC of initial bone resorption lesion in rapid progression group (117.8 ± 72.1 mm
) was significantly larger than slow (53.1 ± 39.5 mm
) (
< 0.001). Regions of A2 and C1 involved were significantly re, monitoring should be strengthened and active intervention should be considered.
This study is the first to find that the maximum area in coronal position of initial bone resorption lesion in ARCO Stage 2 or 3A can predict progression of the femoral head collapse with a threshold of 49 mm2. If the maximum area is larger than 49 mm2 and located in the anterolateral or lateral column of the femoral head, the possibility of rapid collapse progression is high, therefore, monitoring should be strengthened and active intervention should be considered.There is a paucity of data on cholecystitis in liver transplant candidates (LTC), including the incidence of the cholecystitis and the associated outcomes in this patient population. As such, this study examines the incidence of and factors associated with cholecystitis in the high-acuity LTC population, as well as the association between cholecystitis and graft and patient survival. Liver transplant candidates undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) at a large transplant center from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016 were included in the initial analysis. Surgical pathology reports were examined for the presence of cholecystitis. Univariate analyses were performed to determine the association between patient factors and cholecystitis. Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were performed to examine the association between cholecystitis and graft and patient survival. Of the 405 patients in the final study population, 267 (65.9%) had no cholecystitis, 21 (5.2%) had acute cholecystitis, and 117 (28.9%) had chronic cholecystitis. The presence of cholecystitis was associated with preoperative WBC, sepsis within 10 days prior to transplant, location prior to transplant, and total length of stay. While this study revealed no association between cholecystitis and graft or patient survival, it also suggests that cholecystitis is under-recognized in high-model end-stage liver disease (MELD) OLT candidates. Therefore, a high index of suspicion for cholecystitis may be helpful in caring for this vulnerable patient population; however, further studies must be performed to determine the optimal management of cholecystitis in these patients.
