The Prevalence of Prostate Cancer in Organ Donors With Increased Prostate-Specific Antigen.

Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were found in 139 of 472 kidney donors from our transplant center tested between 2009 and 2022, representing 29%. The mean age of these donors was 47.3 years.

Fertility-Sparing Treatment in Gestational Choriocarcinoma: Evaluating Oncological and Obstetrical Outcomes in Young Patients.

BACKGROUND Gestational choriocarcinoma (GC) is an uncommon neoplasia that occurs in women who may not have completed a procreation plan. The aim of this study was to evaluate oncological and obstetrical outcomes in young patients with GC after fertility-sparing treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS The eligibility criteria for the study were histopathological diagnosis of GC, age ≤40 years, and treatment with systemic chemotherapy.

Guessing can benefit memory for related word pairs even when feedback is delayed.

Trying to guess what the correct answer to a question might be can facilitate future learning of this answer when presented in the form of corrective feedback. One issue that determines the effectiveness of guessing as a learning strategy is the timing of the presentation of feedback: it can be presented either immediately after the guess, or after a delay. Whereas the timing of feedback is of little importance for complex materials such as trivia questions, previous research suggests that for simpler materials such as related word pairs guessing seems to benefit learning only when feedback is immediate.

Elaboration by superposition: From interference in working memory to encoding in long-term memory.

Distraction embedded in working memory tasks leads to impaired performance. This impairment is mitigated when targets and distractors that follow them share common features-a signature effect of interference by superposition. Here we propose that target-distractor similarity modulates not only forgetting from working memory but also encoding into long-term memory.

Comprehensive Treatment of the Multiply Injured Patient. A Case Study.

Background: We describe the case of a 35-year-old man who suffered multiple organ injuries following a traffic accident.

Case Report: A total of 47 fractures were diagnosed in that patient. He was treated in stages according to the principles of Damage Control Orthopedics.
