30-day readmission after radical cystectomy: Identifying targets for improvement using the phases of surgical care
<jats:p>Introduction: Postoperative readmissions following radical cystectomy (RC) have gained attention in the past decade. Postoperative and post-discharge complications play a role in readmission rates; however, our ability ... -
5-α reductase inhibitors and prostate cancer prevention: where do we turn now?
(BMC Med, 2011-09-15)With the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer so great, an effective chemopreventive agent could have a profound impact on the lives of men. Despite decades of searching for such an agent, physicians still ... -
500,000 fish phenotypes: The new informatics landscape for evolutionary and developmental biology of the vertebrate skeleton.
(J Appl Ichthyol, 2012-06-01)The rich phenotypic diversity that characterizes the vertebrate skeleton results from evolutionary changes in regulation of genes that drive development. Although relatively little is known about the genes that underlie ... -
A Brief Chronicle of CD4 as a Biomarker for HIV/AIDS: A Tribute to the Memory of John L. Fahey.
Foundational cellular immunology research of the 1960s and 1970s, together with the advent of monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry, provided the knowledge base and the technological capability that enabled the elucidation ... -
