Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of a population-based screening trial using prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a kallikrein panel and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aimed at minimizing overdiagnosis, while retaining mortality benefit.
Patients And Methods: Feasibility of the screening algorithm was evaluated in terms of participation, screening test results and cancer detection. A random sample of 400 men aged 65 years was identified from the population registry and invited for screening with three stepwise tests (PSA, kallikrein panel and MRI).

Primary aortoduodenal fistula (PADF) is uncommon direct pathological communication between the abdominal aorta and duodenum, which may cause life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. PADF leads to high mortality and morbidity unless it is promptly evaluated and appropriate surgical intervention performed. We present a case report describing PADF treated successfully with axillobifemoral bypass.
