Background: Biparametric MRI (bpMRI) has an important role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa), by reducing the cost and duration of the procedure and adverse reactions. We assess the additional benefit of the ADC map in detecting prostate cancer (PCa). Additionally, we examine whether the ADC value correlates with the presence of clinically significant tumors (csPCa).

- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the stentless FloRIN technique used during Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) for bladder reconstruction, focusing on perioperative and mid-term results.
- A total of 63 patients participated, with half receiving the stentless procedure; results showed shorter operation times and hospital stays for those without stents, while complications were similar between both groups.
- The findings suggest that the stentless FloRIN technique is a safe and effective option for bladder reconstruction, demonstrating comparable functional outcomes regarding kidney health over a six-month follow-up.
Turtles and 'tortoises' populations are declining in number, the factors driving extinction risks being related to habitat loss and degradation, climate change, introduction of invasive plant and animal species, consumption by humans for food and medicinal use, and collection for international pet trade. Fungal infections represent one of the main threats for ecosystem health. The present narrative review deals with conventional and emerging mycoses of Chelonians.

- Wild canids are frequently exposed to ticks and other blood-feeding pests, particularly in wooded environments.
- There is significantly more research on vector-borne infections in domestic animals than in wild canids, leading to a gap in knowledge.
- This study reviews literature on infections in wild canids, emphasizing their importance in understanding the spread of arthropod-borne bacteria and protozoa.
