PROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF VESICOURETHRAL ANASTOMOSIS OUTCOMES IN ROBOTIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY DURING EARLY EXPERIENCE IN A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Prospective evaluation of vesicourethral anastomosis outcomes in robotic radical prostatectomy during early experience in a university hospital

ABSTRACT Purpose: Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) presents challenges for the surgeon, especially during the initial learning curve.We aimed to evaluate early and mid-term functional outcomes and complications related to vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA), in patients who underwent RARP, during the initial experience in an academic hosp

S1 Subunit of Spike Protein from a Current Highly Virulent Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Is an Important Determinant of Virulence in Piglets

Hemp Wicks Base on the sequence of S genes, which encode spike proteins, we previously identified three different types (North American, S INDEL, and S large-DEL types) of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) that have re-emerged in Japan since 2013.Based on experimental infections with the North American and S large-DEL types, we also hypothesiz
