Prospective Assessment of VI-RADS with Muscle Invasion in Urinary Bladder Cancer and Its Implication on Re-Resection/Restaging TURBT Patients.

Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) diagnosis relies on distinguishing muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) forms. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) is a standard procedure for initial staging and treatment. The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) enhances diagnostic accuracy for muscle invasiveness through advanced imaging techniques, potentially reducing reliance on repeat TURBT and improving patient management.

Development of a robust and generalizable algorithm "gQuant" for accurate normalizer gene selection in qRT-PCR analysis.

The emergent role of nucleic acid-based biomarkers-microRNAs(miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs), and messenger RNAs(mRNAs), is becoming increasingly prominent in disease diagnostics and risk assessment. qRT-PCR is the primary analytical method for quantitative measurement of biomarkers. Yet, the relative infancy of non-coding RNAs recognition as biomarkers poses a challenge due to the absence of a consensus on a universally accepted normalizer gene, an absolute requirement for accurate quantification.

Urinary extracellular vesicles-encapsulated miRNA signatures: A new paradigm for urinary bladder cancer diagnosis and classification.

Bladder cancer (BCa) stands as prevalent malignancy of the urinary system globally, especially among men. The clinical classification of BCa into non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is crucial for prognosis and treatment decisions. However, challenges persist in current diagnostic methods like Urine cytopathology that shows poor sensitivity therefore compromising on accurately diagnosing and monitoring BCa.

Inadvertent Hypothermia in the Perspective of Operating Room Nurses: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to reveal the awareness and perceptions of operating room nurses concerning inadvertent hypothermia, as well as their experiences and recommendations for its prevention.

Design: The study employed a phenomenological qualitative approach.

Methods: This study was conducted with 17 nurses working in the operating room of a university hospital in Konya, Turkey.
