Purpose: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common surgical procedure for elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures. Cement fixation of the humeral stem is considered the gold standard for this procedure. Due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis in this patient population, the risk of intraoperative fractures is increased when uncemented stems are used.

- - The 2022 fifth edition of the WHO classification for urogenital tumors updates the renal epithelial tumors section, recognizing new disease entities and refining nomenclature compared to the 2016 edition.
- - It emphasizes the significance of biological and molecular data, recommending the use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) to connect traditional morphological features with genetic information for accurate diagnosis.
- - The article discusses key immunohistochemical markers for newly recognized tumor entities, such as clear cell capillary renal cell tumor and eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma, highlighting their unique profiles and diagnostic challenges.
The Oncological and Functional Prognostic Value of Unconventional Histology of Prostate Cancer in Localized Disease Treated with Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: An International Multicenter 5-Year Cohort Study.

June 2024
Background And Objective: The impact of prostate cancer of unconventional histology (UH) on oncological and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) receipt is unclear. We compared the impact of cribriform pattern (CP), ductal adenocarcinoma (DAC), and intraductal carcinoma (IDC) in comparison to pure adenocarcinoma (AC) on short- to mid-term oncological and functional results and receipt of aRT after RARP.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data for a large international cohort of men with localized prostate cancer treated with RARP between 2016 and 2020.
A 53-year-old man complaining of pain in the right hypochondrium underwent an abdominal ultrasound that showed a left adrenal lesion. Further instrumental investigations (CT and MRI, both with contrast medium) were performed which diagnosed an adrenal ganglioneuroma, confirmed by the histological examination. The patient also underwent an endocrinological examination.

We tested this hypothesis by differentiating between CS alone (CaM) and CS with vitamin D (CaD) and between cardioembolic and non-cardioembolic IS. We examined the potential interaction with oral bisphosphonates (oBs).
