Although conjunctival autograft (CAU) and amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) with mitomycin-C (MMC) are most effective for the treatment of primary pterygium, the optimal surgical treatment of recurrent...
We performed a retrospective review of adult patients who underwent recurrent pterygium excision surgery at Boston Medical Center between January 1999 and July 2019. Postoperative recurrence rates wer...
We identified 41 eyes of 38 patients having undergone recurrent pterygium excision surgery that met our criteria. The observed postoperative recurrence rates were 0% (0 of 8 eyes) with CAU + MMC, 17.7...
Our study suggests that CAU results in less repeat recurrence than AMG in the treatment of recurrent pterygium. The use of intraoperative MMC may decrease the recurrence rate, but it is not statistica...
Despite the amazing advances produced in our understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, which have led to a therapeutic revolution, our knowledge of the mechanisms of relapse and elicitation of l...
Recurrent pericarditis is a common and troublesome complication that affects 15%-30% of patients with a previous episode of pericarditis. However, the pathogenesis of these recurrences is not well und...
M1a disease represents an intermediate status between loco-regional relapse and bone metastatic disease. Metastasis directed therapy (MDT), through stereotactic body RT (SBRT) may be offered to patien...
Data about patients treated in two different institutions were retrieved from a prospectively collected dataset. All included patients were affected by oligo-recurrent M1a disease after definitive RT ...
Median PFS was 10 months (95% CI 8-17). Twelve patients died, with a median OS of 114 months (95% CI 85-114). Out of the 83 recurrences, 2 (2.4%), 11 (13.25%), 36 (43.37%) and 15 (18%) patients had re...
MDT conferred a remarkable PFS outcome in a mixed cohort of CSPC and CRPC patients with m1a disease, with an optimal safety profile. Prospective trials are needed in order to compare MDT and ENRT for ...
There are a certain number of acute pancreatitis (AP) patients who may suffer from multiple episodes and develop recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP), but recurrence rates and associated risk factors fo...
We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases to identify all publications reporting AP recurrence until October 20th, 2022. Meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed to calc...
A total of 36 studies met the inclusion criteria and all were used in pooled analyses. The overall rate of recurrence after first-time AP was 21% (95% CI, 18%- 24%), and pooled rates in biliary, alcoh...
More than one-fifth of AP patients experienced recurrence after discharge, with the highest recurrence rate in alcoholic and hypertriglyceridemia etiologies, and managing underlying causes post-discha...
The primary aim of this study was to compare the immunological profiles of children affected by recurrent acute otitis media (rAOM) with and without spontaneous tympanic membrane perforation (STMP). T...
In this study, otherwise healthy children (<10 years of age) with rAOM or rRTI were included. Data on perinatal history, vaccination status, presence of risk factors for rAOM or rRTI (including person...
The study involved a total of 751 children: 566 (75.3%) with rAOM and 185 (24.7%) with rRTI. Among the 566 children with rAOM, 39.7% had uncomplicated rAOM and 60.3% had rAOM with STMP. The mean age o...
A low (<6.5%) percentage of children with rAOM with or without STMP present parameters outside the normal range. Among subjects without parameters outside the normal range, children with uncomplicated...
It is unknown whether early atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) recurrence occurring within 3 months after the Maze procedure predicts late ATA recurrence.Methods and Results: This study involved 610 patient...
It is well known that the perinatal period supposes a considerable risk of relapse for women with bipolar disorder (BD) and recurrent major depressive disorder (rMDD), with the consequences that this ...
Pterygium is an ultraviolet-related disease characterized by an aberrant, wing-shaped and active wound-healing process. There is nothing quite as disheartening for the surgeon or patient as the recurr...
Despite posing a significant challenge to global tuberculosis (TB) elimination efforts, recurrent TB remains understudied due to the challenges of long-term observation....
To investigate the burden of recurrent TB using data from patients with pulmonary TB (PTB) in China....
This retrospective cohort study included all bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed PTB cases reported to the Tuberculosis Information Management System with completed or successful treat...
Newly diagnosed PTB was classified into primary, hematogenous disseminated, or secondary PTB....
The primary outcome was the annual recurrence rate, stratified by disease classification, over the 17-year observation period. The recurrence rate for year n was calculated by dividing the number of p...
Of 13 833 249 patients with TB reported to the Tuberculosis Information Management System, 10 482 271 with PTB met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 68.9% were male, 22.3% were 65 years or older, 89.6...
In this retrospective cohort study, the PTB recurrence rate was substantially higher than the incidence, and the proportion of recurrent cases increased. Almost half of the recurrence occurred within ...
