(1) Background: To assess the treatment response of benign prostatic syndrome (BPS) following prostatic artery embolization (PAE) using a semi-automatic software analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and clinical indexes. (2) Methods: Prospective, monocenter study of MRI and clinical data of n = 27 patients with symptomatic BPS before and (1, 6, 12 months) after PAE. MRI analysis was performed using a dedicated semi-automatic software for segmentation of the central and the total gland (CG, TG), respectively; signal intensities (SIs) of T1-weighted (T1w), T2-weighted (T2w), and diffusion-weighted images (DWI), as well as intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and prostatic volumes (CGV, TGV), were evaluated at each time point.

- This study investigates whether intraoperative glenohumeral joint lavage improves outcomes after surgery for displaced proximal humeral fractures, using a randomized trial with 86 patients.
- After one year, there were no significant differences in functional shoulder outcomes between the group that received lavage and the one that did not, with measured scores being similar for both groups.
- Overall, the findings suggest that glenohumeral joint lavage may not be necessary for improving shoulder function after this type of surgery, as the rates of complications were also similar in both groups.
