0001). For oncological cases, the 2 techniques had comparable intra- and postoperative outcomes and oncological accuracy. In this study, we reported that PSS-H is comparable to LPS-H for intra- and perioperative outcomes and postoperative pain, while PSS-H seems to be superior in cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. PSS-H may represent a valid alternative in ultra-MIS for benign gynecological conditions and low-/intermediate-risk endometrial cancer.In this study, we reported that PSS-H is comparable to LPS-H for intra- and perioperative outcomes and postoperative pain, while PSS-H seems to be superior in cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. see more PSS-H may represent a valid alternative in ultra-MIS for benign gynecological conditions and low-/intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. To assess the individual treatment strategies among international experts in peritoneal carcinosis, specifically their decision-making in the process of patient selection for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in women suffering from ovarian cancer, to identify relevant decision-making criteria, and to quantify the level of consensus for or against HIPEC. The members of the executive committee of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) were asked to describe the clinical conditions under which they would recommend HIPEC in patients with ovarian cancer and to describe any disease or patient characteristics relevant to their decision. All answers were then merged and converted into decision trees. The decision trees were then analyzed by applying the objective consensus methodology. Nine experts in surgical oncology provided information on their multidisciplinary treatment strategy including HIPEC for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Three of the total of 12 experts did not perform HIPEC. Five criteria relevant to the decision on whether HIPEC is performed were applied. In patients with resectable disease, a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) <21, and epithelial ovarian cancer without distant metastasis, consent was received by 75% to perform HIPEC for women suffering from recurrent disease. Furthermore, in the primary disease setting, consent was received by 67% to perform HIPEC according to the same criteria. Among surgical oncology experts in peritoneal surface malignancy and HIPEC, HIPEC plays an important role in primary and recurrent ovarian cancer, and the PCI is the most important criterion in this decision.Among surgical oncology experts in peritoneal surface malignancy and HIPEC, HIPEC plays an important role in primary and recurrent ovarian cancer, and the PCI is the most important criterion in this decision. The number of demented patients has increased significantly in recent years. The many challenges that dementia causes increase the stress of their caregivers and lead to shortening the time to institutionalization compared to the general population. A psychoeducational program for these accompanying persons was set up in Brussels. This type of program resulted in a 557-day delay in institutionalization in New York City. The objective of our study was to check whether our program also has such an impact, but also to see its potential effect on the psychobehavioral disorders of patients and the burden of caregivers. We recruited two groups without randomization psychoeducated caregivers and caregivers interested in the program and contacted regularly (every 6 months) without having participated. They were all contacted by telephone and responded to the NCPI and Zarit Burden Scale (ZBS) questionnaires. We could not demonstrate any significant impact, either on the institutionalization delay (p = 0.960), on the frequency of psychobehavioral disorders in demented patients (p > 0.05), or on the burden of caregivers (p = 0.403). However, the survival rate among the demented patients with psychoeducated caregivers was significantly higher than that among the demented patients with nonpsychoeducated caregivers (p < 0.001). Our small-sample, nonrandomized study did not reveal any differences in institutionalization delay, caregiver burden, or perception of psychobehavioral disorders related to our psychoeducational program. A new study should be carried out on the impact of psychoeducation on the survival of demented patients, in view of our preliminary analyses.Our small-sample, nonrandomized study did not reveal any differences in institutionalization delay, caregiver burden, or perception of psychobehavioral disorders related to our psychoeducational program.

Since this pain may be excruciating and often debilitating and some patients do not respond or do not tolerate conventional treatments, the interest in neuromodulation therapies is increasing. One of the most commonly used neuromodulation therapies, spinal cord stimulation, has recently shown promise in treating facial pain. We reviewed the current literature to determine usefulness of spinal cord stimulation in management of refractory facial pain. Our review indicates that for some patients with intractable pain in portions of the face, cervical spinal cord stimulation may be effective at reducing pain. Few, evidence-based programs have been developed to prepare social skills for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) transitioning to the workplace or college setting. This article describes a pilot curriculum developed for Tarrant County College (TCC) to address the transitional needs of high school students with ASD to a vocation or college. TCC enrolled 123 high school students across the ASD who were taught a 2-h, 2-semesters course on how to apply for college as well as employment applications, job interviews, and interpersonal skills. Work preparation and college preparatory skills such as communicating with professors regarding specific student learning accommodations were also included. Publicly available enrollment TCC data were utilized to describe the curricular program outcomes. Program Outcomes No statistically significant success rate increase was identified among enrolled ASD students obtaining college acceptance by participating in the TCC program. However, 14 students were successful in attaining employment.
