Comparison of Outcomes Between Radical Nephrectomy and Partial Nephrectomy in Clinical T2 Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Korean Renal Cell Carcinoma Cohort Study by Younsoo Chung, Seok-Soo Byun, Sung Kyu Hong, Sangchul Lee, Chang Wook Jeong, Seok Ho Kang, Sung-Hoo Hong, Ji Youl Lee, Yong-June Kim, Jinsoo Chung, Eu Chang Hwang, Tae Gyun Kwon, Jung Kwon Kim

“…Regarding perioperative outcomes, complications of Clavien-Dindo classification grade III or higher (11.4%, p<0.001) and urological complications (9.1%, p=0.045) were more common in the PN arm than in the RN arm. Postoperative renal function was superior in the PN arm, whereas the incidence of de novo chronic kidney disease (CKD) at 6 months was higher among the recipients of RN (37.6%, p<0.001). …”

The geometry of some natural conjugacies in ℂn dynamics by John W. Robertson

“…We show that under some simple conditions a topological conjugacy h between two holomorphic self-maps f1 and f2 of complex n-dimensional projective space ℙn lifts canonically to a topological conjugacy H between the two corresponding polynomial self-maps of ℂn+1, and this conjugacy relates the two Green functions of f1 and f2. …”
