    Abstract Introduction Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involving the inferior vena cava (IVC) and/or right atrium (RA) often experience debilitating symptoms, including lower extremity edema, dyspnea on exertion, shortness of breath at rest, chest pain, and ascites, that impact quality of life. The efficacy of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in palliating these symptoms is unclear. Thus, we sought to assess the effectiveness of EBRT in the palliation of symptoms and treatment outcomes in this patient population. Materials and methods All patients with HCC that compressed or invaded the IVC, received EBRT, and had a two-month follow-up visit to assess clinical response at our institution between 2010 and 2018 were analyzed. Patient demographics and clinical features were retrieved from the electronic medical record. Local control, local progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS) were measured from the last day of EBRT and calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Twenty-six patients with invasion or compression of the IVC were identified, 11 of whom (42%) had involvement of the RA. The median follow-up was 3.6 months. Five patients (19%) were treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (all with five fractions) and 21 patients (81%) were treated with fractionated radiation therapy (range 10-16 fractions), both to a median dose of 3,000 cGy (range 2500-4000 cGy for SBRT, 2500-3750 cGy for fractionated radiation therapy). Significant proportions of patients experienced symptomatic relief from peripheral edema (54%), dyspnea on exertion (57%), shortness of breath (83%), chest pain (67%), and ascites (25%) after receiving EBRT. Additionally, they experienced few toxicities, with zero experiencing grade three or higher toxicities. One-year and two-year local control rates were 11.5% and 7.7%, respectively, and the median local progression-free survival was 4.8 months. One-year and two-year OS rates were 38.4% and 38.4%, respectively. Conclusions Our results suggest that EBRT should be considered as a potential treatment option for patients with HCC invading or compressing the IVC with or without involvement of the RA. EBRT was very well-tolerated and effectively palliated a variety of symptoms in patients with advanced disease.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate outcomes after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in patients with severe intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP).
    Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, single health system, 2-hospital study from April 2015 to December 2018 of 54 patients who underwent elective PAE procedures (age mean 67.5 years; standard deviation [SD] 8.5). The cohort had a mean ellipsoid prostate volume of 100.1 cm
    Results: No significant differences in patient characteristics were found between nonsevere (n = 17) and severe (n = 37) IPP patients. Both cohorts showed IPSS reduction (nonsevere 6.0, P = .0397; severe 8.2, P < .0001) and QOL score reduction (nonsevere 1.0, P = .102; severe 2.0, P < .0001). No significant differences in IPSS or QOL score reduction were found between the cohorts (P = .431 and P = .127). Linear regression found that baseline IPP was not a significant contributor to the outcomes (IPSS: R
    Conclusions: There were no significant differences in early outcomes in PAE between patients with severe and nonsevere IPP.

    Abstract This retrospective report describes treatment of 21 patients who underwent prostatic artery embolization using 70- to 150-μm radiopaque microspheres for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Seventeen patients (81%) received successful bilateral prostatic artery embolization. At a mean follow-up of 42 days (range, 25-59 days), patients showed improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (n = 11; mean = 10.6; P = .001), quality of life score (n = 17; mean = 2.0; P = .02), and International Index of Erectile Function (n = 17; mean = 9.3; P = .01). The mean prostate volume reduction was 28 mL (16.2%; P = .003). Nontarget embolization occurred twice, resulting in 1 minor adverse event of hematospermia.

    Abstract Abstract: Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and distinct skin findings. DM is associated with an increased risk of malignancy in adults. We describe a case of dermatomyositis with unusually severe oropharyngeal dysphagia and respiratory muscle weakness on presentation, who was found to have underlying metastatic prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is uncommonly associated with DM. The patient tested positive for antitranscription intermediate family-1 (anti-TIF-1, also known as anti-p155/410) antibodies, which are linked to malignancy-associated DM in adults and are associated with dysphagia and more severe cutaneous findings.

    Abstract Background: Bundled payment models may lead to selection of healthier total joint arthroplasty (TJA) candidates resulting in comorbid patients being taken care of in fewer hospitals. We aimed to (1) evaluate hospital-specific TJA comorbidity burden ("casemix") over time and (2) associations with resource utilization.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study used 2011 and 2016 New York State data (n = 36,078 hip/knee arthroplasties). Comorbidity burden was estimated by the Charlson-Deyo Index; main outcomes were hospitalization cost and nonhome discharge. Hospitals were categorized into those with a decreased, stable (with a 5% buffer), or increased percentage of comorbidity-free patients (Charlson-Deyo = 0) between 2011 and 2016. Mixed-effects models measured the association between Charlson-Deyo Index category and outcomes, by hospital casemix categorization. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported.
    Results: Overall, 29 (n = 8810), 37 (n = 16,297), and 46 (n = 10,971) hospitals were categorized into the decreased, stable, and increased Charlson-Deyo = 0 categories, respectively, with median annual TJA volumes of 499, 814, and 393 (P < .0001). Multivariable models demonstrated that-in hospitals with a stable patient casemix-increased patient comorbidity was associated with increased hospitalization costs (maximum 21.8%, CI 18.9-24.9, P < .0001). However, this effect was moderated (maximum 11.1%, CI 8.0-14.2) in hospitals that took on a more comorbid patient casemix. Similar patterns were observed for nonhome discharge.
    Conclusion: Most studied hospitals show an increase in comorbidity-free TJA patients, suggestive of patient selection. This redistribution of comorbid patients to select hospitals may not necessarily be a negative development as our results suggest more efficient resource utilization for comorbid patients in such hospitals.
