Mashup Score: 7Optimal Placement of Colectomy in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: a Markov Model Analysis - Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery - 3 year(s) ago
Background Treatment for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) includes medical therapies such as immunosuppressive agents or surgical options such as colectomy. While prior studies have indicated a mortality benefit with elective surgery, the timing and effectiveness of colectomy in the UC treatment algorithm have not been assessed. We hypothesize that the ideal placement of colectomy…

I am SO proud to have worked w/@Bchu216 & @FrankIScottMD on this impt piece of work (just check out the Markov models 😱). Even w/all the new drugs, the importance of surgery earlier in our algorithms-NOT as an option of last resort-cannot be understated. https://t.co/qkF4KUgfhm

Mashup Score: 1Long-Term Quality of Life Following Transthoracic and Transhiatal Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer - Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery - 3 year(s) ago
Background The impact of transthoracic (TTE) and transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) on long-term health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in patients with distal esophageal or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer has been studied with variable results. This study investigates long-term HR-QoL in patients having undergone TTE or THE. Methods Disease-free patients after TTE or THE for distal…

Mashup Score: 10Relationship Between Diverticular Disease and Incisional Hernia After Elective Colectomy: a Population-Based Study - 3 year(s) ago
Background Recent genetic studies identified common mutations between diverticular disease and connective tissue disorders, some of which are associated with abdominal wall hernias. Scarce data exists, however, shedding light on the potential clinical implications of this shared etiology, particularly in the era of laparoscopic surgery. Methods The New York Statewide Planning and Research…

Mashup Score: 1Recommended Minimal Number of Harvested Lymph Nodes for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma - 3 year(s) ago
Background Lymph node (LN) metastasis is one factor indicating a poor prognosis after radical surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Although several guidelines have recommended that LN dissection be strongly considered at the time of ICC surgery, no clear evidence regarding the appropriate number of harvested LNs has been established. Thus, we aimed to identify the minimum number of…
