Objective: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT has shown considerable promise in the evaluation of prostate cancer bone metastases; however, data utilizing a histopathologic reference standard in this setting are limited. We therefore sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of PSMA-PET/CT using a consistent histopathologic gold standard in the form of bone biopsy.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center, retrospective study, we identified 80 patients with prostate cancer who underwent CT-guided bone biopsy of a tracer-avid osseous lesion on PSMA-PET/CT performed with F-piflufolastat.
The genus Pristaulacus Kieffer (Hymenoptera, Aulacidae) from Vietnam is revised with eight new species, namely P. alius Long, sp. nov.

- Effective care for critically ill patients in ICU relies on collaboration and communication among healthcare teams, but medication errors during transitions to hospital wards can negatively impact patient outcomes.
- A qualitative study with focus groups aimed to identify necessary changes and develop a theory-informed intervention package to enhance medication safety among ICU patients transitioning to wards.
- The intervention package comprises seven core components for improving medication management, grounded in behavioral change techniques, with specific mechanisms for how each component will enhance patient safety.
Substantial gaps in reporting gonorrhea treatment and prompt ES treatment were observed. Practice-level interventions to facilitate reporting gonorrhea treatment and provide prompt ES treatment are needed.

- To perform successful total hip arthroplasty (THA), surgeons must accurately restore the patient's anatomical structure and soft-tissue tension, particularly focusing on the restoration of femoral offset.
- This review aims to define how femoral offset is measured, its significance in hip joint biomechanics, and how incorrect offset can lead to complications such as pain, instability, and decreased motor performance.
- The review also examines intraoperative factors and the selection and positioning of prosthetic implants to enhance stability and functional outcomes post-surgery.
