TL;DR: Results from eight case-control groups demonstrate that this variant in TCF2 (HNF1β), a gene known to be mutated in individuals with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5, confers protection against type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
General Population and Cancer Patient Norms for the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G)
TL;DR: Normative data for the FACT-G are presented for two reference groups: a sample of the general U.S. adult population and a large, heterogeneous sample of adult patients with cancer.

TL;DR: Targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis was associated with a notable decrease in the incidence of infectious complications after transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy caused by fluoroquinolone resistant organisms as well as a decreases in the overall cost of care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective analysis of erectile dysfunction after anterior urethroplasty: incidence and recovery of function.
TL;DR: Bulbar urethroplasty appears to affect erectile function to a greater extent than penile ure Throplasty, which may be explained by the proximity of the bulbar urethra to the nerves responsible for erection.
