- The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of micro-ultrasound in detecting significant prostate issues compared to traditional biopsy histology.
- Patients suspected of prostate cancer underwent both MRI and micro-ultrasound before biopsy, with findings assessed against histology results.
- While MRI demonstrated higher sensitivity (87%) compared to micro-ultrasound (73.3%), the study suggests that micro-ultrasound may still offer benefits in specific cases, indicating a need for further research into its role in prostate cancer surveillance.

- Music is analyzed as a non-verbal language that helps researchers understand how the brain processes complex sounds over time.
- A study using magnetoencephalography with 70 participants found that recognizing familiar musical sequences activates a broad network in the brain, including areas like the auditory cortex and hippocampus.
- The research highlights that while the auditory cortex reacts quickly to initial sounds, areas associated with higher cognitive functions show increasing activity as individuals recognize familiar music compared to novel sequences.
Online self-diagnosis of psychiatric disorders by the general public is increasing.

The publicity given to artificial intelligence (AI) has also contributed to the increased use of online screening tools by the general public.
