Diagnostic utility of prostate health index density prior to MRI-ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy.

Article Synopsis
- * The research analyzed data from 302 men who underwent PHI testing prior to MRI ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy, finding that a PHID cutoff of 0.91 effectively predicts higher-grade prostate cancers and can reduce unnecessary biopsies.
- * Results showed that using this cutoff, 35% of original biopsies could be avoided without missing significant cancer cases, and in cases with lower-risk imaging (PI-RADS 1-2), 56.8% of biopsies could be safely skipped while missing no clinically significant cancers.
Objectives: To increase the proportion of applicants to urology residencies, we created a surgical skills fair to introduced urology early in undergraduate medical education.
Design: Funded by the Department of Urology, the fair was designed to have student rotations through 12 hands-on practice stations supervised by faculty and an advanced care practitioner or resident physicians. At conclusion, medical students completed a voluntary survey about their experience.
Increasing concerns regarding the safety of textured surface implants have resulted in surgeons transitioning from textured tissue expanders (TEs) to smooth TEs. Given this change has only recently occurred, this study evaluated outcomes between smooth and textured TEs. Women who underwent two-stage breast reconstruction using TEs from 2013 to 2022 were included.

- The AUA Guidelines say that doctors shouldn't always use ultrasound to check for undescended testicles in boys before sending them to a specialist.
- Studies have shown that a doctor’s physical exam is better at finding these undescended testicles than ultrasound, but new ultrasound technology might help during surgery.
- In a study of boys with a non-palpable testicle, some were found in the inguinal canal or close to the internal ring, helping doctors plan for surgery better.
Metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma to the urinary bladder is extremely rare and aggressive. We discuss here the case of an 83-year-old male with history of esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with chemoradiation therapy and esophagectomy who presented with gross hematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms. Pathology of the bladder tumor after transurethral resection demonstrated invasive adenocarcinoma of both the bladder and the prostatic urethra consistent with metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma.
