Three-dimensional spatial localization and volume estimation of prostate tumors using F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT versus multiparametric MRI.

Purpose: Fluorine-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT) has been shown to be superior to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the locoregional staging of intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate tumors. This study aims to evaluate whether it is also superior in estimating tumor parameters, such as three-dimensional spatial localization and volume.

Methods: 134 participants underwent F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and MRI prior to radical prostatectomy as part of the validating paired-cohort Next Generation Trial (NCT05141760).

Femoral or Radial Secondary Access in TAVR: A Subanalysis From the Multicenter PULSE Registry.

Background: Transradial secondary access (TR-SA) may serve as an alternative to the traditional femoral secondary access (TF-SA) for pigtail placement in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of secondary access-related vascular complications after TR-SA or TF-SA in TAVR.

Methods: The PULSE (Plug or sUture based vascuLar cloSurE after TAVR) registry retrospectively evaluated data of 10,120 patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR at 10 heart centers from 2016 to 2021.

High Serum Irisin Concentration Is Associated with More Disturbed Behavioural Eating Pattern in Adolescent Rhythmic Gymnasts.

: There are strict demands on body weight and shape in highly trained adolescent female athletes, and they are in the highest risk group for the development of eating disorders. This study aims to compare the behavioural eating patterns between highly trained female adolescent athletes and untrained controls (UCs), and to describe the associations between behavioural eating patterns and different energy homeostasis hormones. : A total of 33 rhythmic gymnasts (RGs), 20 swimmers (SWs), and 20 UCs ( = 20) that were 14 to 18 years old participated in this investigation.

Enhanced osteointegration and osteogenesis of osteoblast cells by laser-induced surface modification of Ti implants.

Dental and orthopedic implants have become routine medical technologies for tooth replacement and bone fixation. Despite significant progress in implantology, achieving sufficient osseointegration remains a challenge, often leading to implant failure over the long term. Nanotechnology offers the potential to mimic the natural patterns of living tissues, providing a promising platform for tissue engineering and implant surface design.

Quantitative Aortography Analysis of JenaValve's Trilogy Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation System in Patients With Aortic Regurgitation or Stenosis.

Background: JenaValve's Trilogy transcatheter heart valve (THV) (JenaValve Inc, Irvine, CA) is the only -marked THV system for the treatment of aortic regurgitation (AR) or aortic stenosis (AS). However, its efficacy has not been quantitatively investigated pre- and post-implantation using video-densitometric analysis.

Methods: Using the CAAS-A-Valve 2.
