Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an interventional management in preventing ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery stenosis. After the treatment with CAS, in-stent restenosis caused by neointimal hyperplasia may develop.
Purpose: This study aims to obtain a better determination of neointimal hyperplasia using superb microvascular imaging (SMI), which provides a high-quality visualization of the endoluminal lesions, and to compare these results with B-mode and Doppler ultrasound (US).
Objective: To compare the rate of diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in men with elevated PSA stratified by baseline IsoPSA Index, thus assessing IsoPSA's intermediate-term predictive ability for csPCa.
Material And Methods: Single-center retrospective review of consecutive patients (n=1578) who underwent IsoPSA testing from November 2016-August 2022. Data dichotomized into patients with low(≤6) and high IsoPSA Indices (>6).
Background: Nephrectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of a kidney. When the aim of nephrectomy is to reduce tumor burden in people with established metastatic disease, the procedure is called cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). CN is typically combined with systemic anticancer therapy (SACT).

- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare but serious pediatric liver tumor, making up 1% of all childhood tumors, and this study reviewed cases from 2002 to 2022.
- A total of 15 pediatric patients, mostly presenting with abdominal pain, had their medical data analyzed, revealing common diagnoses include different forms of HCC and some underlying diseases like hepatitis and metabolic disorders.
- The study found that surgical options like liver transplantation and resection are successful, with a 75% survival rate for transplant patients, and emphasizes the benefits of a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

Objective: This study aimed to compare daily and total recreational music exposure levels and extended-spectrum audiogram results in young adults without pre-existing hearing problems.
Design: The study included healthy volunteers aged 18-25 with no known ear disease or hearing loss. Participants completed a questionnaire, underwent otoscopic and tympanometric examinations, and determined preferred music volumes in an audiometry booth using calibrated music samples of their preferred genres.
