Background An accurate method of assessing the response of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) to neoadjuvant treatment is needed for selecting candidates for bladder-sparing strategies. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (nacVI-RADS) scores and posttreatment Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) scores when assessing MIBC response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of MRI scans was conducted in patients enrolled in the PURE-01 study (NCT02736266) from February 2017 to December 2019 who underwent pre- and postimmunotherapy mpMRI before radical cystectomy.

- The study evaluates "Functional Management and Recovery," a psychoeducational intervention tailored for individuals with psychotic disorders in psychiatric residential facilities (PRFs) in Italy, aiming to enhance recovery and functioning due to the lack of structured interventions in these settings.
- A total of 66 participants underwent a multi-center study with pre-treatment and six-month follow-up evaluations, using various scales to measure social functioning, psychopathological status, recovery, cognitive functioning, stress management, emotional intelligence, and user satisfaction.
- Results showed significant improvements in multiple areas, with 63 participants completing the study, highlighting a predominance of schizophrenia (82.5%) and addressing the need for effective recovery strategies in PRFs.
Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic procedures for treating Haglund disease have become more popular over the past decade due to their advantages over traditional methods, such as minimizing recovery time and complications.
- A study analyzing 14 patients who underwent endoscopic calcaneoplasty showed significant improvements in pain levels and overall foot function, with scores improving dramatically post-surgery.
- The results indicated that 85.7% of patients experienced positive outcomes, with no complications or need for reoperations, suggesting the technique is effective and reliable for this condition.
Introduction: The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) has been recently proposed as a useful tool for predicting postoperative complications in orthopedic surgery. We aimed to analyze the utility of this score in predicting complications and reoperations after hallux valgus (HV) deformity surgery.
Methods: 551 patients undergoing percutaneous HV corrective surgery were retrospectively reviewed.
