Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to the formation of neuromas, which are abnormal growths at the injury site that can stop nerves from healing properly.
  • Researchers studied human neuroma tissue and compared it to healthy nerves from the same person to understand what happens at the injury site over time (1-13 months after injury).
  • They found that even though the nerve repair cells called Schwann cells were present, they were in a "repair mode" and different from healthy cells, with signs of inflammation and reduced ability to form myelin, which is important for nerve function.

Background: To retrospectively investigate scatter radiation (SCR) exposure among staff in the endourology operating theatre.

Methods: During surgeries under fluoroscopic guidance, five professional groups (urological surgeon [US], surgical nurse [SN], assistant surgical nurse [ASN], anaesthetist [A], and anaesthesia care [AC]) wore real-time dosimeters (Philips DoseAware System) on their head and chest over lead aprons between July 2023 and February 2024. The SCR data were analysed and correlated with procedural and patient factors.

: The objective of this study was to prospectively assess the extent to which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate malignant from benign lesions of the testis. : All included patients underwent multiparametric testicular MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and subtraction dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subsequently, all patients underwent a histopathological examination via orchiectomy or testicular biopsy/partial resection.

Objectives: To evaluate the early learning curve of BipolEP (Bipolar Enucleation of the Prostate).

Subjects/patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter analysis of surgical and functional outcomes of patients treated with BipolEp for BPO (benign prostatic obstruction). We evaluated the first 20 cases of BipolEp performed by four different surgeons in three different countries.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights that most peripheral nerve tumors are benign, primarily consisting of schwannomas and neurofibromas, but also discusses rare tumors and non-tumorous lesions that can mimic these conditions, based on data from a German registry of 315 patients.
  • - The cohort includes 61 cases of unusual tumors, showcasing a range of pathological features and biological potentials, with diagnoses like malignant peripheral nerve tumors, perineurioma, hybrid tumors, and various extrinsic lesions like lymphoma and hemangioma.
  • - A definitive preoperative diagnosis is often challenging, necessitating collaboration among specialists in radiology, neurology, neuropathology, and neurosurgery to improve diagnosis and treatment options for patients.
