Disease relevance of Unnecessary Procedures

 

High impact information on Unnecessary Procedures

 

Anatomical context of Unnecessary Procedures

  • The quantitative analysis of androgen receptors (AR) in subcellular fractions of tumor cells; the use of techniques to enhance the number of AR in the cytosol; and the determination of the type II/I regulatory subunit of protein kinase may be used to identify hormone independent clones and spare patients of unnecessary procedures [8].
 

Associations of Unnecessary Procedures with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Unnecessary Procedures

  • We conclude there were more unnecessary procedures in the IPP, but the fact that a significant difference in the incidence of surgery persisted even after elimination of such cases suggests that the differences in rates of surgery between the IPP and PGP cannot be solely attributed to a higher rate of inappropriate surgery in the IPP [14].
  • Laboratory determinations of serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels for all patients with lytic orbital bone lesions can establish whether they have hyperparathyroidism, a diagnosis making orbital surgery unnecessary [15].
  • Our findings therefore confirm that antibiotic therapy may be effective in patients with hepatic IPL associated with underlying infections, avoiding unnecessary surgery [16].
  • CONCLUSION: Familiarity with localized cystic disease of the kidney and its imaging findings is important to avoid unnecessary surgery and to differentiate the disease from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [17].
  • Biliary CEA determination seems to aid detection of tumour recurrence at an early stage and may preclude unnecessary surgery in patients with undefined liver lesions [18].
