The first time I led this route I got my finger stuck in a low undercling while making the 'long reach' between horizontals - pretty scary moment as I thought I was going to take a leader fall with my finger facing up - stuck in a crack... managed to wiggle it free and stick the move! Stellar climb - do the harder start to the right - way more badass, and don't get into a finger lock you can't get out of lol! |

ABSTRACT: The therapy of urinary stones in Germany is mostly a domain of hospitals even now. With the introduction of the German diagnosis-related groups (G-DRG) system in the years 2003/2004 an attempt was made to realize an ever-increasing fair representation and remuneration of treatment costs. Simultaneously, a declared target was to transfer all forms of treatment which did not necessitate hospital admission to the outpatient department. Analysis of the D-DRG data on running invoicing from all German hospitals from 2004/2005 to 2012/2013 showed an increase in case numbers of around 12 % with a parallel increase in the volume of revenues of around 37 %. A special feature was a reduction in the proportion of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWL) as inpatient treatment with a parallel increase in the proportion of ureteroscopic and percutaneous interventions. -

ABSTRACT: Background In an earlier study we demonstrated the feasibility to create tissue engineered venous scaffolds in vitro and in vivo. In this study we investigated the use of tissue engineered constructs for ureteral replacement in a long term orthotopic minipig model. In many different projects well functional ureretal tissue was established using tissue engineering in animals with short-time follow up (12 weeks). Therefore urothelial cells were harvested from the bladder, cultured, expanded in vitro, labelled with fluorescence and seeded onto the autologous veins, which were harvested from animals during a second surgery. Three days after cell seeding the right ureter was replaced with the cell-seeded matrices in six animals, while further 6 animals received an unseeded vein for ureteral replacement. The animals were sacrificed 12, 24, and 48 weeks after implantation. Gross examination, intravenous pyelogram (IVP), H&E staining, Trichrome Masson's Staining, and immunohistochemistry with pancytokeratin AE1/AE3, smooth muscle alpha actin, and von Willebrand factor were performed in retrieved specimens. Results The IVP and gross examination demonstrated that no animals with tissue engineered ureters and all animals of the control group presented with hydronephrosis after 12 weeks. In the 24-week group, one tissue engineered and one unseeded vein revealed hydronephrosis. After 48 weeks all tissue engineered animals and none of the control group showed hydronephrosis on the treated side. Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry revealed a multilayer of urothelial cells attached to the seeded venous grafts. Conclusions Venous grafts may be a potential source for ureteral reconstruction. The results of so far published ureteral tissue engineering projects reveal data up to 12 weeks after implantation. Even if the animal numbers of this study are small, there is an increasing rate of hydronephrosis revealing failure of ureteral tissue engineering with autologous matrices in time points longer than 3 months after implantation. Further investigations have to prove adequate clinical outcome and appropriate functional long-term results.Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine 11/2014; 13(1):17.

ABSTRACT: To determine the rates of the available urinary diversion options for patients treated with radical cystectomy for bladder cancer in different settings (pioneering institutions, leading urologic oncology centers, and population based). Population-based data from the literature included all patients (n = 7608) treated in Sweden during the period 1964-2008, from Germany (n = 14,200) for the years 2008 and 2011, US patients (identified from National Inpatient Sample during 1998-2005, 35,370 patients and 2001-2008, 55,187 patients), and from Medicare (n = 22,600) for the years 1992, 1995, 1998, and 2001. After the International Consultation on Urologic Diseases-European Association of Urology International Consultation on Bladder Cancer 2012, the urinary diversion committee members disclosed data from their home institutions (n = 15,867), including the pioneering institutions and the leading urologic oncology centers. They are the coauthors of this report. The receipt of continent urinary diversion in Sweden and the United States is <15%, whereas in the German high-volume setting, 30% of patients receive a neobladder. At leading urologic oncology centers, this rate is also 30%. At pioneering institutions up to 75% of patients receive an orthotopic reconstruction. Anal diversion is <1%. Continent cutaneous diversion is the second choice. Enormous variations in urinary diversion exist for >2 decades. Increased attention in expanding the use of continent reconstruction may help to reduce these disparities for patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Continent reconstruction should not be the exclusive domain of cystectomy centers. Efforts to increase rates of this complex reconstruction must concentrate on better definition of the quality-of-life impact, technique dissemination, and the centralization of radical cystectomy.

ABSTRACT: Objective To externally validate May et al.'s pT4a-specific risk model for cancer-specific survival (CSS) and to develop a new pT4a-specific nomogram predicting CSS in an international multicentre cohort of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB)Patients and Methods Data of 856 pT4a patients after RC for UCB at 21 centres in Europe and North-America was assessed.May et al.'s risk model including female gender, presence of positive LVI and lack of AC administration as adverse predictors for CSS was applied to our cohort.For the purpose of external validation, model discrimination was measured using the receiver operating characteristics derived area under the curve.A nomogram for predicting CSS in pT4a UCB after RC was developed after internal validation based on multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis evaluating the impact of clinico-pathological parameters on CSS.Decision curve analyses were applied to determine the net benefit derived from the two models.ResultsThe estimated 5-year-CSS after RC was 34% in our cohort.May et al.'s risk model predicted individual 5-year-CSS with an accuracy of 60.1%.In multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, female gender (HR1.45), lymphovascular invasion (HR1.37), lymph node metastases (HR2.54), positive soft tissue surgical margin (HR1.39), neoadjuvant (HR2.24) and lack of adjuvant chemotherapy (HR1.67, all p<0.05) were independent predictors of an adverse CSS and formed the features of our nomogram with a predictive accuracy of 67.1%.Decision curve analyses showed higher net benefits for the use of the newly developed nomogram in our cohort over all thresholds.Conclusion May et al.'s risk model was validated with a moderate discrimination and outperformed by our newly developed pT4a-specific nomogram in our study population.Thus, it might be particularly suitable for postoperative patient counselling in the heterogeneous cohort of pT4a UCB.BJU International 11/2014; DOI:10.1111/bju.12984 · 3.13 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the prognostic value of concomitant seminal vesicle invasion (cSVI) in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) and contiguous prostatic stromal infiltration in a large cystectomy series. A total of 385 patients with UCB and contiguous prostatic infiltration comprised our study. Patients were divided in two groups according to cSVI. Median follow-up was 36 months (interquartile range 11-74); the primary end point was cancer-specific mortality. The prognostic impact of cSVI was evaluated using multivariable Cox regression analysis. The predictive accuracy was assessed by a receiver operating characteristic analysis. A total of 229 patients (59.5 %) without cSVI comprised group A, and 156 patients (40.5 %) with cSVI comprised group B. Positive lymph nodes (63 vs. 44 %, p < 0.001) and positive surgical margins (34 % vs. 14 %, p < 0.001) were more common in patients with cSVI. The 5- and 10-year cancer-specific survival rates were 41 % and 32 % (group A) and 21 and 17 % (group B) (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, pathological nodal stage (hazard ratio [HR] 2.19, p < 0.001), soft tissue surgical margin (HR 1.57, p = 0.010), clinical tumor stage (HR 1.46, p = 0.010), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 0.40, p < 0.001), and cSVI (HR 1.69, p < 0.001) independently impacted cancer-specific mortality. The c-indices of the multivariable models with and without inclusion of cSVI were 0.658 (95 % confidence interval 0.60-0.71) and 0.635 (95 % confidence interval 0.58-0.69), respectively, resulting in a predictive accuracy gain of 2.3 % (p = 0.002). In patients with UCB and prostatic stromal invasion, cSVI adversely affected cancer-specific survival compared to patients without cSVI. The inclusion of cSVI significantly improved the predictive accuracy of our multivariable model regarding survival.Annals of Surgical Oncology 06/2014; 21(12).

ABSTRACT: To evaluate for the first time the prognostic significance of female invasive patterns in stage pT4a urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in a large series of women undergoing anterior pelvic exenteration. Our series comprised of 92 female patients in total of whom 87 with known invasion patterns were eligible for final analysis. Median follow-up for evaluation of cancer-specific mortality (CSM) was 38 months (interquartile ranges, 21-82 months). The impact on CSM was evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis; predictive accuracy (PA) was assessed by receiver operating characteristic analysis. Vaginal invasion was noted in 33 patients (37.9 %; group VAG), uterine invasion in 20 patients (23 %; group UT), and infiltration of both vagina and uterus in 34 patients (39.1 %; group VAG + UT). Groups VAG and UT significantly differed from group VAG + UT with regard to the presence of positive soft tissue margins (STM) only. Five-year-cancer-specific survival probabilities in the groups VAG, UT, and VAG + UT were 21, 20, and 21 %, respectively (p = 0.955). On multivariable analysis, only STM status (HR = 2.02, p = 0.023) independently influenced CSM. C-indices of multivariable models for CSM with and without integration of invasive patterns were 0.570 and 0.567, respectively (PA gain 0.3 %, p = 0.526). Infiltration of the vagina, the uterus or both is associated with poor 5-year survival rates. With regard to CSM, no difference was detectable between patients with different invasion patterns, thus justifying further collectively including these invasive patterns as stage pT4a.World Journal of Urology 05/2014; 33(3).

ABSTRACT: To determine the association of gender with outcome after radical cystectomy for patients with bladder cancer. An observational cohort study was conducted using retrospectively collected data from 11 centers on patients with advanced bladder cancer treated with radical cystectomy. The association of gender with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality was examined using a competing risk analysis. The study comprised 4296 patients, including 890 women (21%). The median follow-up duration was 31.5 months for all patients. Disease recurred in 1430 patients (33.9%) (36.8% of women and 33.1% of men) at a median of 11 months after surgery. Death from any cause was observed in 46.0% of men and 50.1% of women. Cancer-specific death was observed in 33.0% of women and 27.2% of men. Multivariable regression with competing risk found that female gender was associated with an increased risk for disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.108-1.465; P = .007) compared with male gender. Important limitations include the inability to account for additional potential confounders, such as differences in environmental exposures, treatment selection, and histologic subtypes between men and women. Our analysis identified female gender as a poor-risk feature for patients undergoing radical cystectomy. This adverse prognostic factor was independent of standard clinical and pathologic features and competing risk from non-cancer-related death.Urology 01/2014; 83(4).

ABSTRACT: The permanent adjustments since 2003 to the G-DRG system have made the system even less understandable, so that many users have the feeling of feeding data into a black box which gives them a result without them being able to actively use the system itself. While chief physicians, senior physicians, and nursing managers are responsible to management for the results of the billing, they are in most cases not involved in the steps of DRG coding and billing. From this situation, a common question arises: "How well does my department code?" This uncertainty is exploited by many commercial vendors, who offer a wide variety of approaches for DRG optimization. The goal of this work is to provide advice as to how coding quality can be determined.Der Urologe 01/2014; 53(1):33-40. · 0.44 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Die seit 2003 erfolgten permanenten Anpassungen des G-DRG-Systems (,,German diagnosis-related groups") haben das System immer undurchsichtiger werden lassen, so dass viele Anwender das Gefühl einer ,,black box" haben, in die sie Daten einspeisen und aus der sie ein Ergebnis erhalten, ohne das System aktiv für sich nutzen zu können. Während Chefärzte, leitende Oberärzte und Pflegedienstleitungen die Resultate der Abrechnung vor der Geschäftsführung verantworten müssen, sind sie jedoch in den meisten Fällen in die Schritte der DRG-Kodierung und der Abrechnung nicht eingebunden. Aus dieser Situation ergibt sich die regelmäßige Frage: ,,Wie gut kodiert meine Abteilung eigentlich?" Diese Unsicherheit nutzen viele kommerzielle Anbieter und offerieren verschiedenste Ansätze der DRG-Optimierung. Ziel dieser Arbeit soll es sein, Hinweise zu geben, woran sich die Kodierqualität erkennen lässt.Der Urologe 01/2014; 53(1). DOI:10.1007/s00120-013-3366-3 · 0.44 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: The objective of the German DRG (diagnosis-related groups) system is to adequately reimburse hospital costs using flat rate payments. The goal is to thereby achieve the most adequate representation of hospital costs in flat rate payments. The DRG for 2014 is based on the actual number of cases treated and the costs determined from 2012. For 2014, the current changes of the DRG system for the specialty urology concerning the coding and recording of secondary diagnoses are presented and discussed.Der Urologe 01/2014; 53(1):27-32.

ABSTRACT: Here we report the discovery of truncating mutations of the gene encoding the cohesin subunit STAG2, which regulates sister chromatid cohesion and segregation, in 36% of papillary non-invasive urothelial carcinomas and 16% of invasive urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. Our studies suggest that STAG2 has a role in controlling chromosome number but not the proliferation of bladder cancer cells. These findings identify STAG2 as one of the most commonly mutated genes in bladder cancer.Nature Genetics 10/2013; 45(12). DOI:10.1038/ng.2800 · 29.65 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Expression of T-cell co-regulatory proteins has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with UCB. We aimed to confirm these findings. The study comprised tissue microarrays from 302 consecutive UCB patients treated with RC and lymphadenectomy between 1988 and 2003, 117 matched lymph nodes, and 50 cases of adjacent normal urothelium controls, which were evaluated for B7-H1, B7-H3, and PD-1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry. B7-H3 and PD-1 expression were increased in cancers compared to adjacent normal urothelium (58.6% vs 6% and 65% vs 0%, respectively; both p values < 0.001). Meanwhile, B7-H1 was expressed in 25% of cancers (n = 76). Expression of B7-H3, B7-H1, and PD-1 were highly correlated between the primary tumors and metastatic nodes, with concordance rates of 90%, 86%, and 78% for B7H3, B7H1 and PD-1, respectively. Expression was not associated with clinicopathologic features, disease recurrence, cancer-specific or overall mortality. However, for the subgroup of patients with organ-confined disease (n = 96), B7-H1 expression was associated with an increased risk of overall mortality (p = 0.02) on univariate and trended toward an association on multivariate analyses (p = 0.06). B7-H1, B7-H3 and PD-1 are altered in a large proportion of UCB. B7-H1 and PD-1 expression are differentially upregulated in cancer versus normal urothelium. High correlation between expression in LN and expression in RC specimens was observed. While expression was not associated with clinicopathologic features or standard outcomes in all patients, B7-H1 expression predicted overall mortality after RC in the subset of patients with organ-confined UCB.European journal of surgical oncology: the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology 09/2013; 40(1).

ABSTRACT: Oncofetal proteins are expressed in the developing embryo. Oncofetal protein expression has been correlated to clinical outcome in non-muscle-invasive UCB. IMP3, MAGE-A, glypican-3 and TPBG are oncofetal proteins that have not been well characterized in UCB. We investigated the expression of these four proteins and their association with clinical outcomes using tissue microarrays from 384 consecutive patients treated with radical cystectomy between 1988 and 2003 at one academic center. We stained for IMP3, MAGE-A, glypican-3, and TPBG. Uni/Multivariable Cox-regression analyses evaluated the association of oncofetal protein expression with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. IMP3, MAGE-A, glypican-3, and TPBG were expressed in 39.5%, 45%, 6%, and 85% of UCB, respectively. Their expression was tumor-specific and not correlated to pathological features, except for TPBG. With a median follow-up of 128 months, 176 patients (46%) experienced disease recurrence, 175 (45.5%) died of the disease, and 96 (27.5%) died of other causes. In univariable analyses, IMP3 and MAGE-A expression were associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively) and cancer-specific mortality (p=0.004 and p=0.03, respectively). In multivariable Cox regression analyses that adjusted for the effects of standard clinicopathologic features, IMP3 and MAGE-A expression were both independently associated with disease recurrence (p=0.004, HR:1.55, CI:1.15-2.11; p=0.02, HR:1.44, CI: 1.05-1.99, respectively) but not with cancer-specific mortality. Oncofetal proteins are commonly and differentially expressed in UCB compared to normal urothelium. IMP3 and MAGE-A expression were associated with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality, while glypican-3 and TPBG were not.The Journal of urology 08/2013; DOI:10.1016/j.juro.2013.08.048 · 3.75 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: In a field of medicine with fluid boundaries between the sectors and between the productive faculties, healthcare research is an indispensible responsibility of all participants. This can only be successful in improving the treatment quality of patients in the long-term by analysis of the treatment reality in routine daily work. This can be achieved by a closer cooperation between urologists in private practice and in hospitals in order to have a better definition of mutual treatment targets, to optimize therapy and to make a better analysis of target achievements. The importance of urologists in all fields of medical care and also for superordinate committees can only be visibly presented by the production of comprehensive objective figures and therefore to guarantee the long-term procurement of necessary resources.Der Urologe 08/2013; 52(8).

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Cabazitaxel (Cbz) is an approved second-line treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) following docetaxel therapy with a significant survival benefit compared with mitoxantrone. However, grade 3/4 toxicities were reported in 82% of patients. OBJECTIVE: To report on the safety results of mCRPC patients treated within a compassionate-use programme in Germany. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 111 patients with a mean age of 67.9 yr (range: 49-81 yr) and progressive mCRPC were included. Patients had received a mean number of 12.7±10.8 cycles (range: 6-69 cycles) of docetaxel with a mean cumulative dose of 970.9mg/m(2); mean time from last docetaxel application to progression was 6.95 mo (range: 2-54 mo). Of the patients, 31.5% progressed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) increase only; the remainder had a combination of PSA increase and clinical progression. INTERVENTION: Cbz at a dosage of 25mg/m(2) intravenously every 3 wk combined with 5mg of oral prednisone twice a day. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Treatment-associated toxicity was the primary study end point; progression-free and overall survival were secondary end points. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Patients received a mean number of 6.5±2.2 cycles of Cbz and a mean cumulative dose of 160.3±51.5mg/m(2). Grade 3 and 4 treatment-emergent adverse events were recorded in 34 patients (30.6%) and 18 patients (16.2%), respectively. Grade 3/4 anaemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were reported in 4.5%, 7.2%, and 0.9% of the patients, respectively. Neutropenic fever was reported in 1.8% of the patients. Grade 3/4 gastrointestinal toxicity was identified in 4.5% of the patients. Three patients died because of Cbz-related toxicity. Granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factors were used in 17.1% of patients. The limitations are due to the nonrandomised nature of the trial. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with Cbz is tolerable and is associated with a low incidence of serious adverse events in a real-world patient population with CRPC. The outcome of serious adverse events can be minimised with proactive treatment management and conscientious monitoring.European Urology 09/2012; DOI:10.1016/j.eururo.2012.08.058 · 12.48 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We assessed the association of serine protease inhibitor Kazal type I (SPINK1) expression with clinicopathologic outcomes in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue microarrays comprising 438 consecutive UCB patients treated with RC between 1988 and 2003 and 62 cases of normal urothelium controls were evaluated for SPINK1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Semiquantitative evaluation was performed by 2 pathologists blinded to clinical outcomes (loss of expression: <50% cells or intensity 0-2). RESULTS: In normal urothelium, SPINK1 expression was noted in umbrella cells of 32 of 62 controls (52%); 254 RC patients (57.9%) exhibited loss of SPINK1 expression. Loss of SPINK1 expression was significantly associated with higher pathologic stages (P = 0.002) and presence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.04). At a median follow-up of 130 months (IQR: 98.4), loss of SPINK1 expression was associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence (P = 0.02) and cancer-specific mortality (P = 0.03). On multivariable analysis that adjusted for the effects of standard clinicopathologic parameters, SPINK1 was not an independent predictor of disease recurrence (P = 0.09) or cancer-specific mortality (P = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS: Over half of UCB patients treated with RC exhibit loss of SPINK1 expression. Loss of SPINK1 correlates with features of biologically aggressive UCB. Although SPINK1 expression did not have independent prognostic value in RC patients, it may serve as a biomarker for tumor staging and may be useful as an adjunct in clinical decision-making.Urologic Oncology 08/2012; DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2012.06.011 · 3.36 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: CONTEXT: A summary of the 2nd International Consultation on Bladder Cancer recommendations on the reconstructive options after radical cystectomy (RC), their outcomes, and their complications. OBJECTIVE: To review the literature regarding indications, surgical details, postoperative care, complications, functional outcomes, as well as quality-of-life measures of patients with different forms of urinary diversion (UD). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: An English-language literature review of data published between 1970 and 2012 on patients with UD following RC for bladder cancer was undertaken. No randomized controlled studies comparing conduit diversion with neobladder or continent cutaneous diversion have been performed. Consequently, almost all studies used in this report are of level 3 evidence. Therefore, the recommendations given here are grade C only, meaning expert opinion delivered without a formal analysis. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Indications and patient selection criteria have significantly changed over the past 2 decades. Renal function impairment is primarily caused by obstruction. Complications such as stone formation, urine outflow, and obstruction at any level must be recognized early and treated. In patients with orthotopic bladder substitution, daytime and nocturnal continence is achieved in 85-90% and 60-80%, respectively. Continence is inferior in elderly patients with orthotopic reconstruction. Urinary retention remains significant in female patients, ranging from 7% to 50%. CONCLUSIONS: RC and subsequent UD have been assessed as the most difficult surgical procedure in urology. Significant disparity on how the surgical complications were reported makes it impossible to compare postoperative morbidity results. Complications rates overall following RC and UD are significant, and when strict reporting criteria are incorporated, they are much higher than previously published. Fortunately, most complications are minor (Clavien grade 1 or 2). Complications can occur up to 20 yr after surgery, emphasizing the need for lifelong monitoring. Evidence suggests an association between surgical volume and outcome in RC; the challenge of optimum care for elderly patients with comorbidities is best mastered at high-volume hospitals by high-volume surgeons. Preoperative patient information, patient selection, surgical techniques, and careful postoperative follow-up are the cornerstones to achieve good long-term results.European Urology 08/2012; 63(1).

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To determine whether the number of lymph nodes (LNs) examined is associated with outcomes in patients without nodal metastasis after radical cystectomy (RC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data from 4,188 patients treated at 12 centers with RC and pelvic lymphadenectomy without neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Outcomes of patients without LN metastasis (n = 3,088) were examined according to the LN yield analyzed as continuous variable, tertiles, and using the cutoffs of ≥9 and ≥20. RESULTS: The median nodal yield was 18 (range 1-123; IQR:20). A total of 2591 (84 %) and 1445 (47 %) patients had a LN yield ≥9 and ≥20, respectively. Median follow-up was 47 months (IQR:70). In multivariable analyses that adjusted for the standard clinicopathologic factors, higher LN yield was associated with a decreased risk of disease recurrence (continuous: HR = 0.996, p = 0.05; 3rd vs 1st tertile: HR = 0.853, p = 0.048; cutoff ≥20: HR = 0.851, p = 0.032). In the subgroups of patients with muscle-invasive UCB or those with ≥9 LN removed, LN yield was not associated with outcomes (p values >0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In this large multicenter cohort of patients with node-negative UCB, higher nodal yield improved recurrence-free survival when all patients were analyzed. Patients with a high LN yield (≥20 LN removed or 3rd tertile) had the largest benefit. The lack of prognostic significance of LN yield in patients with muscle-invasive UCB or those stratified by 9 LNs removed suggests that this effect is weak. Further prospective studies are needed to help identify preoperatively the optimal template for each patient.World Journal of Urology 07/2012; 30(6).

Full text not available from this repository.
We present a real world application that models a financial futures market. The agent-based simulation includes speculator agents each of which uses a Genetic Algorithm to improve its profitability in the market. This is a realistic simulation whose rates-of-return distribution is similar to those of real futures markets such as corn and FTSE100 futures.The futures markets have never before been simulated to this level of detail, and the simulation is used to test the long-held belief that speculators are more profitable if they incorporate "hedging pressure" into their price calculations - essentially, the use of market knowledge about supply and demand. Surprisingly, we show that hedging pressure cannot be used to improve profits for speculators.

Rasterizing Images to Make a Giant (and cheap) Poster
lean your head waaaayyyy back from the screen to get the full effect! :)
I've been making a new rasterized poster for every school year since I started teaching, so I don't think too much of it anymore. At my old school the parents and students were used to this. . .But, at Meet n Greet last Thursday, nearly every visitor to the art room was thrilled with the Magadelene!
Rasterizing images to make a huge poster is very easy and super affordable. My favorite part is that you can choose to laminate the pages to keep the poster for every year, or you can toss it when you get bored with it and not feel any pangs of regret. It is that cheap!
Rasterization is the task of taking an image describe in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image (pixels or dots) for output on a video display, printer, or for storage in a bitmap file format (from wikipedia).
If you use Photoshop, or similar programs, there are ways to rasterize your images. . .But, to have this huge output, I use an online program called The Rasterbator (I know, I cringe at that name too!). You can download the program, but I prefer to use the online version, and save space on my computer. The Rasterbator outputs your poster into multiple 8.5 x 11 sheets in a .pdf format.
Here are the steps I follow:
1. select an image you like (any image)
2. save it to your computer
3. visit The Rasterbator site (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/)
4. click on "rasterbate online"
5. select "upload image from your computer" and click "next"
6. choose your image and click "next"
7. click "crop" and crop your image (if needed)
8. click on "size." The rectangles you see represent 1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. Resize your image to desired height (hint A4 is 8.5 x 11 paper)
9. click "next" at the prompt select "continue"
10. view the choices, choose what is best for you (hint the smaller your dots, the more detailed your image will be)
11. click "rasterbate" and wait
12. now you should have a pdf file that is your image. It will contain ALL the pages of your poster. When you print out, keep your images IN THE SAME ORDER.
-remember how many sheets of paper tall and wide your image is before rasterbating. That way, you will know how to lay out your image.
-lay out your image before trying to assemble to work out any kinks
-keep your print out in the same order. SO IMPORTANT, or you are trying to put together a crazy puzzle.
Enjoy! And, if you make some awesome art posters, be sure to link to them in the comments so we can all "oooh and ahhh!"

We all know the first stop on the comeback train is Self-Referential Humor Town. Newly-single Lindsay Lohan is its latest visitor with an eHarmony profile spoof on Funny or Die. She describes herself as "a workaholic, a shopaholic, and, according to the state of California, an alcoholic," and reveals that her compatible mate – male or female – doesn't have family members quick to issue restraining orders. Is this a smart career move or a sign of desperation? Sure, I laughed while watching it. But at this point, has the "poke fun at yourself" way of handling Hollywood hiccups become too calculating and cliché to fuel the comeback train?

Fernando's back with another dangerously erotic musical romp designed to impregnate your ears with his web seed.
At first he was concerned that singing about his hideously erogenous way of life would influence the more impressionable among his slavering fans to follow in his footsteps, but over time he became confident that it will be obvious upon first viewing that there can only be one Manwhore and that his is a hard life filled with beautiful women, loose bags of change and vast quantities of yoghurt.

Day 36: Finally perfected the scent. The trick was a potent blend of scorpion neurotoxin analogue with a mixture of various musks and extracts from the civet cat. Draws females of any and all species like flies on a delicious moist cowpat. A brief entry, diary, as I am fatigued from sexual adventures with more species than I can count.
Day 67: Gooseman visited today. I wonder, is it normal for other men to emerge from a meeting with their friends with their nipples bleeding? And if it is, do I truly want normal?
Day 125: No escape from the dungeon seems possible. The Sorority of Like-Minded Fernando-Lovers clasps their manacles tight, and their thighs tighter. I wonder, when will I taste the cool kiss of goats-milk yoghurt and delicious crystalline cocaine again?
My goodness, I hope you eventually escaped.

What I envision in a packaging system is something that makes the port maintainer's life as easy as possible.
Lets say you are developing a new port, libabcd, which depends on a number of other libraries which are also ports in the system.
As a developer I want to be able to do something like this:
% vfsenvironment empty 'csh'
(Now you would be in a vfs-sandboxed shell. You can map-in other ports which you have already installed on the system):
% vfsrecord "build_depend" ok, recording mappings as 'build_depend' % vfsmap libgettextsrc:0.12.11 ok % vfsmap libexpat (map in the highest installed version) ok % vfsmap libc ok % vfsmap gmake % vfsrename /usr/local/bin/gmake /usr/local/bin/make
Once you have built an environment you could then attempt to build your new port natively simply by running the port's native build (at least initially). If things are missing you can vfsunmap and vfsmap additional required elements.
Modifications to the port distribution itself could also be done through the VFS. In this case the VFS would be acting like a unionfs in that it would record whiteouts (deletions) and copy files that are modified into a higher layer which would be stored in the VFS environment process's memory (sufficient as long as no more then 2G worth of changes are made).
% vfsunion ~dillon/original_distribution work
(make your modifications to the work. edit files, rm files, rename, whatever).
When you are satisfied that the build is working you can save the vfs state, which will also 'diff' any modifications you have made and record file/directory deletions. The output file would be human readable and human editable (though it's easier for the developer to just enter the vfs environment and make modifications within the environment)
% vfsrecord -w all changes recorded in 'build_depend.vfs' % exit
Ok. So there you have it, you now have the VFS environment and the patches required to build your new port!
Similar action would be taken for install and run-time dependancies.
Run-time dependancies would be more restrictive since under normal
conditions you might not want to have to run every port wrapped in a VFS. e.g. simple ports like when you run 'less'. But more involved
ports, like OpenOffice, might always run in some sort of VFS environment.
Note that the VFS environment I am contemplating does not take over the entire filesystem space. That is, in the above example, the mainstream directories /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin would be selectively enabled and/or modified within the VFS but other directories, like your home directory for example (really all other directories not involved with mapping operations) would simply be passed through. You would have to explicitly tell the VFS to map something as a union in order for the VFS to record your modifications within that target.
In anycase, that is my idea... to approach it from the port maintainer's point of view rather then from a technical standpoint.
% vfsenvironment install_depend.vfs 'csh' (Read in the environment that is required for installation of libabcd)
% vfsrecord "install" % vfssnapshot ${PREFIX} install.vfssnap
% make install % vfsunion install.vfssnap ${PREFIX} % vfsrecord -w all changes to ${PREFIX} recorded in 'install.vfs' % exit
regards, Galen

The Simplest Evaluation Measures for XML Information Retrieval that Could Possibly Work

Abstract: | This paper reviews several evaluation measures developed for evaluating XML information retrieval (IR) systems. We argue that these measures, some of which are currently in use by the INitiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval (INEX), are complicated, hard to understand, and hard to explain to users of XML IR systems. To show the value of keeping things simple, we report alternative evaluation results of official evaluation runs submitted to INEX 2004 using simple metrics, and show its value for INEX. |

Daughtry Sued by His Pre-'American Idol' Bandmates Over Royalties
Chris Daughtry made a sizable chunk of change after the wildly popular reality competition 'American Idol' launched his career in 2006. Now the members of his former band Absent Element are seeking royalties for music they claimed to have penned with Daughtry that he later released as a solo artist.
It has to be difficult when your frontman goes off to be a solo artist and releases a multiplatinum album without you, as Chris Daughtry did with his post-Idol debut 'Daughtry.' The split would be even harder to swallow if that very same frontman used songs that he wrote with you. That hypothetical nightmare is the exact situation that Daughtry's former bandmates from Absent Element find themselves in — if it turns out that the real "Absent Element" is the royalties in this case.
The Charlotte Observer reports that three of Daughtry's former mates are looking to enjoy a substantial payday over four songs they claim to have written with Daughtry. Absent Element guitarist Mark Perry, bassist Ryan Andrews and drummer Scott Crawford filed a lawsuit with last week claiming that accuses Daughtry of "constructive fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, unfair trade practices, and other deceptive and wrongful conduct."
"I am very hurt by these false accusations," Daughtry said in an official statement on his website. "The songs listed in this lawsuit were written solely by me and no one else and at this time, I have no further comment."
Chris Daughtry fronted Absent Element prior to his ascension to the 'American Idol' finals in 2006, where he placed fourth. The group released the album 'Uprooted' in 2005, which did contain the songs 'Conviction' and 'Breakdown' — the tracks were combined and included on Daughtry's solo debout under the name of the latter.

Voegeli family to expand its Birds Eye Holdings in east Wichita
WICHITA — Birds Eye Holdings, a private equity firm the Voegeli family formed last year after selling Exacta Aerospace, is more than doubling its square footage with a move to the east side of Wichita.
"We've seen a tremendous amount of activity, and we really need to grow our team ... to capitalize on those activities," says CFO Seth Albin.
The firm now is in almost 2,000 square feet in the Bank of America Center at Douglas and Broadway.
The new space at Country Club Park at 13th and Webb Road will be almost twice that size.
Birds Eye has five employees and plans to add two or three people in the next 12 months, Albin says.
"That would have created a little bit of a pinch over here."
Albin says the employees will be a combination of support staff and what he calls diligence team members who can help with deals.
"It's been remarkable what we've seen in terms of activity," Albin says. "We look for deals that create value for our shareholders on a long-term basis."
About Carrie Rengers
Carrie Rengers joined The Eagle's Business team in 2002 despite her inability to even balance a checkbook. Fortunately for her, and readers, her Have You Heard? blog is about business scoops and contains lots of news but almost no math.
A Michigan native, Carrie's father was quite tragically transferred to Little Rock, Ark., in the middle of her sophomore year of high school. To make matters worse, her parents put her in a girls school. She recovered, though, and went on to enjoy being an English major at Hendrix College (the Harvard of the Ozarks, don't you know). She worked for the weekly Arkansas Business and the statewide daily Arkansas Democrat-Gazette before moving to Wichita to be with her favorite writer and cook, husband Joe Stumpe.
Carrie encourages readers to contact her with tips, questions, behind-the-scenes business news and even funny quotes from business people. Reach her at 316-268-6340 or email@example.com

Okay, we get it. The Taken series has garnered America's favor. In that spirit we give you the Finding Nemo remix of Taken, or the Taken remix of Finding ... you know what, just enjoy:
Also, we usually only promise five-minute videos or less. Though we'd be remiss if we didn't mention this 34-minute collection of Olympic highlights of the bumps, bruises, and basically a blooper collection of the world's best athletes (how much you watch is totally up to you):
Allison Brie. Your adorableness makes our hearts hurt and our brains just wonder what kind of musical fun you and Jessica Paré have when the cameras aren't rolling:
And in keeping with the music theme, our friends at Gawker are highlighting the musical offerings of "Diamond" Dave Hosley and his talent for being a "Karaoke DJ-Emcee." Okay, so Allison Brie might be cuter and more heartwarming, but Brie has nothing on Hosley's "Call me a Beegee" falsetto (around 1:05).

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Born thirty years too late to star in the big-budget Hollywood swashbucklers that would have suited him best, Canadian actor Duncan Regehr nonetheless cut quite a dashing figure in TV costume adventures. Regehr's first regular series work was as Prince Dirk Blackpool in the 1983 sword-and-sorcery briefie Wizards and Warriors. His breakthrough role was the part of Errol Flynn in the 1985 TV-movie adaptation of Flynn's racy autobiography My Wicked Wicked Ways. Regehr persisted in Flynn-like derring-do as star of the 1990 cable TV series Zorro. Duncan Regehr's other significant television credits include the role of extraterrestrial "visitor" Charles in the sci-fi series V (1984-85), and the part of Sheriff Pat Garrett in the 1989 TNT feature film Gore Vidal's Billy the Kid. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The double dark resonance in a cold gas of Cs atoms and molecules
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 20, pp. 15870-15879 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (414 KB)
We theoretically investigated the properties of the effective four-level stimulated Raman adiabatic passage scheme in a cold gas of Cs atoms and molecules, where exists the tunnelling coupling between two excited molecular states due to the 0-g (6S,6P3/2) double well structure. The double dark resonance is predicted in the absorption spectrum when the tunnelling coupling strength is large enough. The double dark resonance not only reveals the formation of the ultra-cold molecules, but also provides further evidence for the tunnelling as one effective coupling mechanism between the two excited molecular states. The effect of the various experimental conditions on this phenomena has been discussed.

temanuele 5pts Just saw that GIAC already has the S4 making another 71 wheel horsepower with just a software upgrade:http://giacusa.com/news_and_media/display_news.php?id=150
Rick 5pts absolute power corrupts absolutely! I replaced my old and trustworthy 225kMi '02 A4 with a'13 S4. The difference supercharged versus normal aspirated 3.0 V6 at 7000 feet is incredible: one does not have to plan a pass one just does it. If discipline is lacking, one or eight cars on overtaking is of little concern. The S4 handles as well as the old A4 if not better but the S4 is so much faster.It is a pleasure to drive
ne1butu 5pts The supercharged 6 is one of the best engines in the world. And this platform is one of the best in the world. However, the exterior style is very homely. Without the upgraded optional S4 wheels, this is about as nondescript as a car can get. I have a B6 S4. Although it's a very basic design, I love the engine note of the V8, and it's stance is much more athletic than the B8 S4. I am ready to replace mine, but I am hoping that the next one (the B9?) will offer a more compelling reason to.
TrollHater 5pts @Cincy GT2009You should see an optometrist. Exactly what part of the new A4 looks anything like a Jetta?
renata25 5pts Since the author mentioned the luxury sedan test in the article, I will mention a few of my gripes. I test drove the A4 when I was recently in search for a sedan, it is a great car. This was what I expected from the price range. They attempted to compare it to what was my ultimate purchase, a FWD Regal GS, with the A4, 328i, Infiniti G25 etc... I chose the Regal GS because it was significantly cheaper than other AWD options (RWD was not an option during winter where I live). Though the GS performed as well in general as the other cars, Motortrend still bashed it and bashed it. They even placed it below the Infiniti G25, a complete dog with an ancient interior. I paid 31K and change for the GS, with a 3K cash back rebate from GM. The Audi, even RWD, with the same features, was around 43K. Big difference. The BMW tested was 50K. For the 31K I paid, I am right in line with Nissan Altima V6, Ford Fusion Sport, Camry V6 etc... This was NOT a fair comparison.....again just a gripe.
ThrottleBlip 5pts The only updates I want to see is the return of the red gauges, and a 310hp version slotting just below the S4, which is more sport than many in that class want. The white lights on the IP are boring at night. At least add a red ring!
