Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of three-section contrast-enhanced transrectal ultrasonography (CETRUS) for detecting prostate cancer (PCa) compared to traditional methods.
- A total of 169 patients with concerning PSA levels or abnormal exams were tested using both standard ultrasounds and the new three-section CETRUS before a biopsy.
- Results showed that three-section CETRUS had higher sensitivity (92.3%) and detection rates for low-grade PCa, suggesting it could improve patient evaluation for active surveillance.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how T-lymphocyte subsets change in patients with severe hepatitis and their impact on clinical outcomes.
- Researchers compared blood samples of 21 severe hepatitis patients to 30 healthy volunteers using flow cytometry to assess T-lymphocyte subsets.
- Results indicated that severe hepatitis patients had lower counts of certain T-lymphocytes compared to healthy controls, and specific changes in these cells could be used to predict survival outcomes in these patients.
