Introduction: High-grade adenocarcinoma of the prostate tends to have denser glandular structures and a prominent desmoplastic reaction, which could be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a super-high b-value in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence, to differentiate it from low-grade carcinomas.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic validity of the diffusion sequence with values of b4000 s/mm2 for the diagnosis of high-grade prostate cancer (Gleason score ≥ 7).
Materials And Methods: It is a retrospective analytical study of male patients who have undergone a prostate biopsy and count with a prostate MRI with a DWI sequence of a super-high b-value (4000 s/mm2).
Background On encountering a self-inflicted foreign body in the urinary tract, it is common that emergency physicians only consult the department of urology, and no further evaluations from other specialties are sought. Psychological conditions can also involve people with psychiatric disorders who perform self-harming or sexual practices. Many case reports of foreign bodies have been reported in the literature.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 520 asymptomatic patients from a Mexican primary prevention population between 2014 and 2018. Coronary artery calcium scoring, laboratory results, and anthropometric measurements (abdominal circumference and body mass index) were assessed.
