Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates how multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and Gallium-68 PSMA PET/CT scans can help in making decisions about salvage therapy for prostate cancer patients experiencing biochemical recurrence after surgery.
- - Out of 117 patients who underwent these scans, about 53% had identifiable lesions, while 47% did not; many of those without lesions either observed or delayed treatment showed promising outcomes.
- - The results emphasize the potential of these imaging techniques to guide timely and appropriate salvage therapy, which may help minimize unnecessary treatments; further larger trials are needed to confirm these findings.
Objective: To develop and conduct preliminary feasibility testing of a clinical screening instrument for early identification of COVID-19 infection in older people residing in residential aged care services (RACS).
Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using a multi-modal approach involving examination of existing literature and national guidelines for COVID-19 clinical screening, formulation of a discussion document with peer review and feasibility testing of a prototype screening tool.
Results: Existing COVID-19 clinical screening tools do not consider age-related impacts on clinical presentation.
