INTRODUCTION We evaluated the feasibility of laparoscopic cytoreduction for primary advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS All patients with presumed stage 3/4 primary ovarian cancer underwent attempted laparoscopic cytoreduction. All patients had CT evidence of omental metastasis and ascites. A 5-port (5-mm) transperitoneal approach was used. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, supracervical hyster...

OBJECTIVES To describe the introduction of robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) in a urogynecology fellowship program, including operative times and patient outcomes. METHODS Data were retrospectively extracted from all women who underwent RSC between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2011 by a single urogynecologist with fellow and resident assistance.

Metric embeddings are immensely useful representation of interacting entities such as videos, users, search queries, online resources, words, and more. Embeddings are computed by optimizing a loss function of the form of a sum over provided associations so that relation of embedding vectors reflects strength of association. Moreover, the resulting embeddings allow us to predict the strength of ...
