Prevalence of clinically significant prostate carcinoma in Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) 3 lesions detected in the peripheral zone on biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-a local experience.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is effective in the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer in prostate peripheral zone Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) 3 lesions without the use of dynamic contrast enhancement.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent biparametric MRI over a 12-month period from January 2022 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with PIRADS 3 lesion in the peripheral zone were included in the study. No patient received dynamic contrast enhancement.

Nail it! vision-based drift correction for accurate mixed reality surgical guidance.

Purpose: Mixed reality-guided surgery through head-mounted displays (HMDs) is gaining interest among surgeons. However, precise tracking of HMDs relative to the surgical environment is crucial for successful outcomes. Without fiducial markers, spatial tracking of the HMD suffers from millimeter- to centimeter-scale drift, resulting in misaligned visualization of registered overlays.

Clinical Performance Status and Technical Factors Affecting Outcomes from Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Interventions; A Multicentre, Prospective, Observational Cohort Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of a 'Modified Karnofsky Scoring System' on outcomes and provide real-world data regarding the UK practice of biliary interventions.

Materials And Methods: A prospective multi-centred cohort study was performed. The pre-procedure modified Karnofsky score, the incidence of sepsis, complications, biochemical improvement and mortality were recorded out to 30 days post procedure.

Percutaneous caecostomy for the management of closed loop large bowel obstruction: A delayed complication of severe gallstone pancreatitis.

Colonic complications following pancreatitis are unusual events ranging from 1% to 15%. In a patient with a hostile abdomen and multiple previous laparotomies, surgical management of a closed-loop large-bowel obstruction risks significant morbidity and mortality for the patient, necessitating other strategies for management. Caecostomy in the management of large bowel obstruction is an often forgotten weapon in the general surgeons' armoury.
