Effectiveness of cognitive fusion transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy when compared with final prostatectomy histology.

Introduction And Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. Cognitive fusion transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy is one of several modalities for diagnosing this disease. However, no existing studies have shown the clear superiority of one image-guided technique over another.

"Minho Technique" for Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Ileal Conduit.

Objective: Radical cystectomy (RC) with ileal conduit (IC) remains a main treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Laparoscopy in this multistage surgery is quite demanding, so laparoscopic RC (LRC) with intracorporeal IC (IIC) is a technically exceptional procedure. We aim to simplify it, demonstrating our technique, step-by-step.

Topological properties of psychopathological networks of healthy and disordered individuals across mental disorders.

The identification of psychopathological markers has been the focus of several scientific fields. The results were inconsistent due to lack of a clear nosology. Network analysis, focusing on the interactions between symptoms, provided important insights into the nosology of mental disorders.

Testicular prostheses - impact on quality of life and sexual function.

Orchiectomy is the recommended treatment for many testicular conditions. However, testicular prosthesis placement is not always performed for different reasons. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients' opinions and the impact on sexual function and quality of life.

Laparoscopic treatment of entero-neobladder fistula after radical cystectomy.

Entero-neovesical fistula is a rare complication of orthotopic ileal neobladder after radical cystectomy occurring in <2% of cases. Surgical treatment is usually required and includes open resection of the affected bowel tract and reconstitution of bowel transit. Here we present a case of a laparoscopic treatment of entero-to-neobladder fistula 8 years after laparoscopic radical cystectomy to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive treatment (Supplementary Video).

Exposure to Traumatic Events and Development of Psychotic Symptoms in a Prison Population: A Network Analysis Approach.

Previous studies consistently observed an association between exposure to traumatic events and psychotic symptoms. However, little is known about the differential impact of distinct traumatic events and the role of general symptoms in mediating this relationship. Thus, our study aimed to explore the differential association of several traumatic events to the psychotic symptoms in a sample of prisoners and whether this association is mediated by general symptoms.
