Background: It has been more than a decade since fusion prostate biopsy (FPB) has been used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, patients with a previous history of negative FPB and ongoing suspicion of PCa are beginning to emerge. This study investigated whether the first biopsy type (standard or fusion) should be effective in deciding on a second biopsy.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-five females suffering from stress and mixed urinary incontinence were included in the study. The electromagnetic chair (BTL EMSELLA) was applied to the patient's pelvic area twice a week for 28 minutes, totaling 6 sessions.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the sexual and psychological conditions of men with Congenital Bilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens (CBAVD), a condition that causes male infertility, comparing them to healthy fertile men.
- A total of 52 men with CBAVD and 66 healthy men participated, undergoing assessments of hormone levels, semen volume, and sexual function using validated questionnaires.
- Results showed that while men with CBAVD had significantly lower semen volume, they did not experience major differences in erectile function, but reported higher sexual desire and overall satisfaction than the control group.
Background: Malignancy in pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is rare, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the most common type. This study aims to assess the incidence of malignancy in PSD and identify risk factors to guide more targeted pathological examination strategies.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1505 patients who underwent surgical excision of PSD between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2023.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common type of myocardial dysfunction, affecting mostly young adults, but its therapeutic diagnosis and biomarkers for prognosis are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the possible effect of the common food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) and tannic acid (TA), a phenolic compound, on the key molecular actors responsible for DCM. DCM-related publicly available microarray datasets (GSE120895, GSE17800, and GSE19303) were downloaded from the comprehensive Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
