Background: Microcytic anemia due to iron deficiency is the most common type of anemia in children in Israel and many parts of the world, and has been shown to have negative consequences for the cognitive performance. We aimed to examine the association between microcytic anemia at age 9-18 months and ADHD during childhood.
Methods: This case-control study included healthy children aged 6-18 years at data collection (April 2020), insured by Clalit-Health-Services, and aged 9-18 months between June 2004 and December 2013, when a blood-count was performed.
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in a duplex collecting system (DCS) is a relatively uncommon presentation with unclear management guidelines. Herein, we retrospectively reviewed all published cases of DCS with UTUC aiming to suggest personalized clinical care options for future cases. We conducted a systematic search for all cases of UTUC in DCS from published literature using the following keywords: UTUC, urothelial carcinoma (UC), collecting duct carcinoma, and DCS.

However, this combination increases the number of biopsy cores, prolongs the procedure time, and increases complications and costs, leading to the overdiagnosis of clinically insignificant PCa (ciPCa). This study aims to evaluate the optimal sampling design to achieve a detection rate of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) equal to standard TBx with SBx with fewer biopsy cores.
