Abstract Objective The primary length of stay (PLOS) metric fails to capture added time, costs, and reduced patient quality of life (QOL) associated with readmissions. To address these limitations, we propose a novel metric, the hospitalization utilization metric (HUM), which integrates PLOS and readmission LOS (RLOS). Study Design Retrospective review

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Mechanistic Learning for Predicting Survival Outcomes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
ABSTRACT We employed a mechanistic learning approach, integrating on‐treatment tumor kinetics (TK) modeling with various machine learning (ML) models to address the challenge of predicting post‐progression survival (PPS)—the duration from the time of documented disease progression to death—and overall survival (OS) in Head and Neck Squamous Cell ...

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...

We assessed the diagnostic yield of EBUS‐guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS‐TBMC) compared with EBUS‐transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) in patients with suspected mediastinal lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). EBUS‐TBMC was superior to EBUS‐TBNA and achieved a high diagnostic yield in patients with suspected mediastinal ...

ABSTRACT Objectives Treatment landscapes are changing for HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) without compromising oncologic outcomes. We aim to analyze treatment trends of HPV+ OPC at academic (ACs) and nonacademic centers (NACs). Methods The National Cancer Database was queried, and multinomial logistic regression was used to predict treatment trends ...
