Histopathological concordance between prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomy specimens-implications of transrectal and transperineal biopsy approaches.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological concordance rates between prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomy specimens according to the applied biopsy approach (transrectal or transperineal).

Methods: We studied patients who had been newly diagnosed with clinically significant prostate cancer and who underwent a radical prostatectomy between 2018 and 2022. Patients were included if they underwent a prebiopsy magnetic resonance imaging and if they had not been previously treated for prostate cancer.

Facial shape; height and width in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to calculate on 3D volumes obtained from 16 weeks' gestation normative data of facial height (FH), facial width (FW) and their ratio and to test these parameters in pathological cases.

Methods: In total, 228 volumes were analyzed: 207 from normal and 21 from pathological cases. After multiplanar correction to the exact midsagittal plane FH was measured from the nasion to the gnathion and FW between the most lateral points on the zygomatic arch.

Intussusception during pregnancy after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

In fertile women, the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is being increasingly performed. Pregnancy and LRYGB both give an increased risk of intussusception, which can lead to bowel necrosis, sepsis and preterm labour. We describe two pregnant women with a history of LRYGB who presented to the emergency department with non-specific abdominal pain.

Is 3D technique superior to 2D in Down syndrome screening? Evaluation of six second and third trimester fetal profile markers.

Objective: The objective of this article is to investigate whether in the clinical setting of second trimester ultrasound (US) investigations, 3D multiplanar correction prior to the measurement of Down syndrome (DS) facial markers (nasal bone length, prenasal thickness, fetal profile line, maxilla-nasion-mandible angle, prenasal thickness to nasal bone length ratio, and prefrontal space ratio) is superior to subjective judgment of a correct midsagittal plane by 2D technique.

Methods: Measurements were performed on 2D images and 3D volumes (corrected to the midsagittal plane), acquired during the same scanning session.

Results: All six markers were measured in 105 datasets (75 of euploid fetuses and 30 of DS fetuses).

Prediction of neonatal outcome in women with gestational hypertension or mild preeclampsia after 36 weeks of gestation.

Background: There is little knowledge about neonatal complications in GH and PE and induction at term, we aim to assess whether they can be predicted from clinical data.

Methods: We used data of the HYPITAT trial and evaluated whether adverse neonatal outcome (Apgar score < 7, pH < 7.05, NICU admission) could be predicted from clinical data.
