nature of such changes in elastography findings. Injury causes significant morbidity and mortality that is sometimes attributed to testosterone and violence. We hypothesized that prescribed testosterone might be associated with the subsequent risk of serious injury. We conducted a self-matched individual-patient exposure-crossover analysis comparing injury risks before and after initiation of testosterone. We selected adults treated with testosterone in Ontario, Canada, from October 1, 2012, to October 1, 2017 (enrollment) and continued until October 1, 2018 (follow-up). The primary outcome was defined as an acute traumatic event that required emergency medical care. A total of 64,386 patients were treated with testosterone of whom 89% were men with a median age of 52 years. We identified 34,439 serious injuries during the baseline interval before starting testosterone (584 per month) and 7349 serious injuries during the subsequent interval after starting testosterone (565 per month). Rates of injuries were substantially above the population norm in both intervals with no significant increased risk after starting testosterone (relative risk = 1.00; 95% confidence interval 0.96-1.04, P = 0.850). The unchanged risk extended to diverse patients, was observed for different formulations and applied to all injury mechanisms. In contrast, testosterone treatment was associated with a 48% increased risk of a thromboembolic event (relative risk = 1.48; 95% confidence interval 1.25-1.74, P < 0.001). Testosterone treatment was associated with a substantial baseline risk of serious injury that did not increase further after starting therapy. Physicians prescribing testosterone could consider basic safety reminders to mitigate injury risks.Testosterone treatment was associated with a substantial baseline risk of serious injury that did not increase further after starting therapy.

To study the feasibility and diagnostic value of vascular imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-angiography (OCTA) of melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva and iris. Cross-sectional study. Twenty-five patients with an untreated conjunctival lesion (5 melanoma, 13 nevus, 7 primary acquired melanosis [PAM]) and 52 patients with an untreated iris lesion (10 melanoma, 42 nevus) were included. Patients were imaged using a commercially available OCTA device, with the addition of an anterior segment lens and manual focussing. SM102 Tumor vessel presence, vascular patterns and vascular density were assessed. Good OCTA images were obtained in 18 of 25 conjunctival lesions and 42 of 52 iris lesions. Failure was caused by lack of patient cooperation, an unfavorable location, or mydriasis. In all imaged conjunctival lesions and 77% of iris lesions, vascular structures were detected. Conjunctival melanoma and nevi demonstrated the same intralesional tortuous patterns, whereas vasculature in eyes with PAM was similar to normal conjunctiva. Both iris melanoma and nevi demonstrated tortuous patterns, distinct from the radially oriented normal iris vasculature. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows for noninvasive imaging of the vasculature in melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva and iris. Good image quality depends highly on patient cooperation and lesion characteristics. Differentiation of benign and malignant lesions was not possible. New software is called for to improve image acquisition and analysis.Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows for noninvasive imaging of the vasculature in melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva and iris.

To assess the feasibility of automated text parsing screening of physician notes in the electronic health record (EHR) to identify glaucoma patients with poor medication compliance. Cross-sectional study. An automated EHR extraction identified a cohort of patients at the University of Michigan with a diagnosis of glaucoma, ≥40 years old, taking ≥1 glaucoma medication, and having no cognitive impairment. Self-reported medication adherence was assessed with 2 validated instruments the Chang scale and the Morisky medication adherence scale. In tandem, a text parsing tool that abstracted data from the EHR was used to search for combinations of the following words in patient visit notes "not," "non," "n't," "no," or "poor" accompanied by "adherence," "adherent, "adhering," "compliance," "compliant," or "complying." The proportion of patients with self-reported poor adherence was compared between the EHR extraction and text parsing identification using a Fisher exact test. Among 736 participants, 20.0% (n= timizing the documentation of medication adherence would maximize the utility of this automated approach to identify medication noncompliance. There are limited reports on robotic thymectomy for malignant disease. Our objectives are to review our experience and midterm outcomes. We reviewed a single-surgeon prospective database for patients who underwent planned robotic resection for malignancy from January 2010 to June2019. Two hundred thirteen patients underwent resection of an anterior mediastinal mass, all of which were planned for a robotic approach. Of these, 84 (39%) underwent robotic thymectomy for malignant disease. Thymoma was the most common pathology resected (68%). Median tumor size was 4.7 cm (interquartile range, 2.9-6.3), and median operative time was 81.5 minutes (interquartile range, 64-104). All except 1 patient had a complete (R0) resection (98.8%). There were 2 (2.3%) unplanned but elective conversions to open surgery, 1 of which required cardiopulmonary bypass. Median length of stay was 1 day (range, 0-9) with 1 readmission (1.2%). Major morbidity occurred in 3 patients (3.5%), and there were no 30- or 90-day mortalities. In patients with thymoma, follow-up was complete at a median of 32 months (range, 1-98), and 1 patient (1.8%) had an ipsilateral chest recurrence. To date there have been no patient deaths. Robotic thymectomy for patients with malignant disease is safe with excellent perioperative outcomes. A robotic approach achieves a high rate of complete R0 resection, even for larger tumors. For patients with thymoma local recurrence is low after midterm follow-up, but longer-term analysis is needed to determine oncologic durability.Robotic thymectomy for patients with malignant disease is safe with excellent perioperative outcomes.
