A comprehensive comparison between mpMRI of the prostate, MR-US fusion biopsy and whole mount histopathology.

Objectives: To compare multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) findings, US-MR fusion prostate biopsy results and whole-mount thin-section histopathology after radical prostatectomy.

Patients And Methods: Overall 259 patients, who had undergone mpMRI with lesions reported as PI-RADS 3-5, underwent a MR-US fusion biopsy between 2018 and 2020. Overall 186 biopsies yielded prostate cancer and 104 patients subsequently underwent endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy.

Impairments in Postural Control and Retest Reliability of Dynamic Posturographic Measures After Lung Transplantation.

Objectives: The aims of the study were to classify impairments in postural control using computerized posturography in lung transplant recipients undergoing subacute rehabilitation and to examine the retest reliability of these measures.

Methods: In a prospective repeated-measures study, 50 lung transplant recipients underwent clinical and quantitative posturographic testing (SMART EquiTest), which included the sensory organization test, motor control test, and limits of stability test. Testing was repeated after 1 to 2 days and upon completion of rehabilitation, 2 mos later.

Feasibility and Reliability of Functional Muscle Tests in Lung Transplant Recipients.

Objective: This study investigates the feasibility, reliability, and correlations of recommended functional tests in lung transplant recipients shortly after surgery.

Design: This is an observational study.

Methods: Fifty patients (28 females) performed well-standardized maximum isometric back extension in a sitting position, handgrip strength, and Biering-Sørensen endurance tests shortly before discharge from the acute hospital, shortly thereafter, and 2 mos later after subacute rehabilitation.
