There is a significant difference in 12-month OS for the SBRT cohort (31.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 20.9%-43.5%) compared with patients who received no radiation (15.1%; 95% CI, 14.2%-16.0%), and on multivariable analysis (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.38-0.65; P less then 0.001). Conclusions The current study suggests potential benefit for…[Read more]

09 (0.73-1.63), 1.48 (1.00-2.18), and 1.94 (1.35-2.77) fold increased risk (95% CI) of primary outcome in less then 15, 15 to 29, and ≥30 pack-year smokers compared with never-smokers. The association of longer smoking duration with higher risk of CKD progression was evident particularly in patients with eGFR less then 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 and p…[Read more]

In 2019, American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) instructed its 1st cohort of Nurse Executive Fellowship participants in response to a need in the field to support nurses new to executive positions. This aligns with the AONL mission to shape healthcare through innovative and expert nursing leadership.BACKGROUND Visual characteristics…[Read more]

Results Three hundred and twenty-five patients were included in the final study. Most commonly observed variant for RHD were A1 (34.2%) and A2 (32.2%). For LHD, B1 (71.4%) was the most common variant. Cystic duct insertion was commonly seen as right lateral insertion (27.7%). Pancreatic divisum was observed in 0.6% of cases.
