Palliation of malignant biliary obstruction: a prospective trial examining impact on quality of life.
TL;DR: Weight loss, and elevated bilirubin level had the greatest impact on baseline quality of life domains in both univariate and multivariate analysis and may lead to better selection of patients for palliative biliary decompression and require prospective validation.
Journal Article
Two-hour cyclosporine level determination is the appropriate tool to monitor Neoral therapy.

TL;DR: To critically assess centralization policies for highly specialized surgeries in Europe and North America and propose recommendations, which could apply across continents, there is an obvious need in most areas for effective centralization.
Two-hour cyclosporine level determination is the appropriate tool to monitor Neoral therapy
TL;DR: The better correlation with the AUC0-4 h suggests that C2 may be more reliable than C0 for Neoral dose adjustment, andNeoral dose reduction based on C2 levels was not associated with acute rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic versus open inguinal herniorrhaphy: Preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: Direct cost measurements showed LH to be 40% more expensive than OH in the context of a Canadian-type health care system and greater improvements in quality of life were exhibited in LH patients than OH patients 1 month after operation.
