Background and Objectives
Emergency department (ED) utilization after gastrointestinal cancer operations is poorly characterized. Our study objectives were to determine the incidence of, reasons for, and predictors of ED treat‐and‐release encounters after gastrointestinal cancer operations.
Methods
Patients who underwent elective esophageal, hepatobiliary, gastric, pancreatic, small intestinal,...
Clinicians are faced with an ever-increasing plethora of choices for the early detection of life-threatening medical conditions, such as heart disease or cancer. Many of these pathologies require invasive biopsy procedures to verify the presence and stage of disease progression. Once identified the patient must then undergo treatment, where current imaging techniques lack the resolution for treatment...
Heat based tumor ablation methods such as radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) ablation are increasingly accepted treatment methods for tumors not treatable by traditional surgery. Typically, an interstitial applicator is introduced under imaging guidance into the tumor, and tissue is destroyed by heating to above -50degC, with maximum tissue temperatures over 100degC. Since high thermal gradients...
