Collectively, this is the first study to show that early cardiac remodeling nurtures tumor growth and metastasis, and therefore promotes cancer progression. Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac remodeling as it may attenuate cancer progression and improve cancer outcome.Introduction Obesity can lead to increased risk of perioperative complications in surgical patients, but evidence is lacking regarding the impact of obesity on bladder outlet surgery outcomes. We sought to assess the safety and efficacy of GreenLight photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in obese patients by comparing functional outcomes and complications in men stratified according to body mass index (BMI). Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was undertaken of 424 men who underwent 180W Greenlight PVP between 2012 and 2016 at two tertiary medical centers. Patients were stratified based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of obesity as determined by BMI. Normal weight men had BMI less then 25 kg/m², overweight men had BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m² and obese men had BMI greater than 30 kg/m². Primary endpoints examined were differences in intraoperative outcomes and incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications between BMI groups. Secondary endpoints were imerweight and obese men.Over the past several years, there has been a significant increase in the number of scientific articles with two or more authors claiming "Equal Co-First Authorship" (ECFA). This study provides a critical background to ECFA designations, discusses likely causes of its increased use, and explores arguments for and against the practice. Subsequently, it presents the results of a qualitative st
