ABSTRACT Introduction Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RAP) is the dominant minimally invasive surgical treatment for patients with localized prostate cancer.The introduction of robotic assistance has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the steep learning curve associated with conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
Background: Complex partial seizure with sudden onset in near term pregnancy can be challenging to the attending clinician and it is essential to proceed with a presumptive diagnosis of eclampsia, especially in resource poor settings.Unlike generalized tonic clonic seizures, which are more common in eclampsia, complex partial seizures may not jeopa
Translation of radiomics into the clinic may require a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying morphologic tissue characteristics they reflect.In the context of prostate cancer (PCa), some studies have correlated gross histological measurements of gland lumen, epithelium, and nuclei with disease appearance on MRI.Quantitative histomorpho
Abstract Increases in prey population size can affect the physiology and ecology of upper-trophic level organisms.This phenomenon is known as a bottom-up effect.For example, the increased abundance of prey resources can trigger physiological (internal) changes in predators, such as improvements in nutritional status.However, these physiological asp
