Tracheal papillomatosis is a relatively rare condition with limited data on successful treatment modalities. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a papilloma arising from an accessor...
A 71-year-old woman presented with one year history of recurrent fevers and intermittent hemoptysis. Imaging and video bronchoscopy revealed an obstructing papilloma of an accessory tracheal bronchus ...
This case report not only supports existing literature on the use of cryotherapy for airway diseases but also presents a unique form of obstructing papilloma confined to an accessory bronchus, the onl...
Chondrosarcomas in flat bones are thought to be more aggressive in their behavior, and little is known about intralesional treatment outcomes of low-grade chondrosarcoma in these locations. We tried t...
We retrospectively reviewed 44 patients with primary low-grade chondrosarcoma who were treated with intralesional curettage and cryotherapy. The patients were divided by location of tumor, group I (fl...
The local recurrence rate was higher in group I with 5 years disease-free survival of 80.0% in group I and 97.0% in group II (p = 0.001). All recurrent cases were noted to have initially presented wit...
Intralesional curettage and cryotherapy for low-grade chondrosarcoma appear to be a safe and reasonable surgical option for patients with lesions confined to bone (Enneking stage IA)....
Level III, retrospective cohort study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence....
The treatment of local prostate cancer recurrence after cryotherapy is challenging since the optimal management is unknown. We collected the available evidence to date to better define the risk and be...
Focal therapy, including cryotherapy, reduces overtreatment in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients with multiple comorbidities, which seems to increase in popularity compared wit...
Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified 47,787 patients with low- and intermediate-risk PCa diagnosed between 2004 and 2015, of which 46,853 (98%) received...
After applying 1:4 PSM to the cryotherapy group with the RT group, the resulting RT cohort consisted of 3,736 patients who were matched with 934 patients in the cryotherapy cohort. The 5-year OS and c...
For low- and intermediate-risk PCa patients treated by cryotherapy or RT, we could not demonstrate a survival difference. Cryotherapy may be a feasible option as a viable alternative to traditional ra...
The aim of this article was to showcase current literature on the efficacy of different postoperative and intraoperative cryotherapy techniques in reducing edema, ecchymosis, and pain in patients who ...
Rhinoplasty has some unfavorable postoperative temporary side effects, such as edema, ecchymosis, and pain, which hinder the patients' daily activities. Several interventions have been proposed in the...
Specific keywords were used, and PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases were searched. Two extensive selection rounds were performed to finally include 27 articles; the first round was based on the titl...
The articles were split into postoperative and intraoperative categories based on the time cryotherapy was administered during the surgery. They were then subdivided depending on the specific cryother...
Cryotherapy has shown promising outcomes in reducing edema, ecchymosis, and pain after rhinoplasty and bleeding. It is crucial to build further studies upon these outcomes and develop guidelines for s...
The study investigates cryotherapy's efficacy in mitigating Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), an adverse effect of chemotherapy that often leads to dosage reduction or treatment disco...
The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023428936). A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials that...
We identified 17 trials involving 2,851 patients. In total, 11 trials compared the incidence of CIPN between cryotherapy and control groups. Significant differences in the incidence of CIPN at the mid...
Cryotherapy demonstrates a pronounced preventive effect against the development of CIPN, providing substantial symptomatic relief and quality of life improvements for patients undergoing chemotherapy....
Although the physiological effects and the performance of athletes after utilizing whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) have been widely studied, there is a lack of data on its adverse effects. It is importan...
This study aims to provide insight to any adverse effects that collegiate athletes experienced after utilizing WBC to better utilize this therapeutic modality....
After the Institutional Review Board (IRB) deemed exemption, all 457 Division 1-A varsity athletes were recruited via email to participate in a retrospective survey. Participants consented to the stud...
Of the 457 student-athletes, 11.2% (n=51) responded and 6.3% (n=29) met the inclusion criteria. Responses were obtained from women's lacrosse (27.6%; n=8), women's gymnastics (24.1%, n=7), field hocke...
In this collegiate athlete population, negative adverse effects of WBC commonly included skin burns and itching while potentially proving a beneficial adverse effect of increased energy. Subjects comm...
Minimally invasive treatments for renal carcinoma offer a low rate of complications and quick recovery. One drawback of the use of computed tomography (CT) for needle guidance is the use of iodinated ...
A framework for switching between contrast phases by conditioning the network on the phase information is proposed and compared with separately trained networks. We then examine how the degree of supe...
We demonstrate that there is no performance loss when testing the proposed method against separately trained networks. Of the training paradigms investigated, the fully adversarial CycleGAN performs t...
The proposed contrast switching framework is a feasible option for generating multiple contrast phases without the overhead of training multiple neural networks, while also being robust towards unseen...
Partial body cryotherapy (PBC) is proposed to alleviate symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) by reducing associated inflammation. No studies have assessed acute PBC exposure on peripheral...
The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of SRP (salvage radical prostatectomy) with SCAP (salvage cryoablation of the prostate) in local radio-recurrent PCa (prostate cancer) patients....
A retrospective analysis of a multicentric European Society of Uro-technology (ESUT) database was performed. Data on patients with local recurrent PCa after radiotherapy who underwent salvage treatmen...
25 patients underwent SRP and 71 patients received SCAP. The mean follow-up was 24 months. The median PSA level before initial treatment was 8.3 (range 7-127) ng/ml. The success rates of SRP and SCAP ...
Both SRP and SCAP should be considered as valid treatment options for patients with local recurrence of PCa after radiotherapy. SCAP has a potentially lower risk of morbidity and acceptable intermedia...
