We aimed to assess the temporal trends of incident syphilis and its associated risk factors among men with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of men with HIV attending an HIV clinic in Korea between 2005 and 2022. Of 767 men with HIV, 499 were included and contributed 3220 person-years (PY) of the observation period.

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to evaluatethe diagnostic accuracies of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis of myocarditis through and a meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane database, and Embase database were searched from inception through November 30, 2022 for studies evaluating diagnostic performance of F-FDG PET or PET/CT for diagnosis of acute myocarditis. Based on data extracted from patient-based analysis, we calculated the pooled sensitivity and specificity with the 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Objective: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the diagnostic performances of 18 F-FDG PET/CT-based radiomics features for prediction of malignant thyroid nodules (TNs) in thyroid incidentaloma (TI).
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane database, and EMBASE database, from the earliest available date of indexing through December 31, 2022, were searched for studies evaluating diagnostic performance of 18 F-FDG PET/CT-based radiomics features for prediction of malignant TNs in TI. We determined the sensitivities and specificities across studies, calculated positive and negative likelihood ratios (LRs; positive and negative LRs), and estimated pooled area under the curve.
Objective: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of 18 F-FDG PET/CT for prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in bladder cancer (BC) patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Patients And Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane database, and Embase database were searched from inception through November 30, 2022 for studies evaluating diagnostic performance of 18 F-FDG PET/CT for prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in BC patients. Based on data extracted from patient-based and lesion-based analysis, we calculated the pooled sensitivity and specificity with the 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Background: Long-term follow-up data on cancer incidence and spectrum among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals in Korea have been scarce.
Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included HIV-infected individuals visiting a tertiary care hospital in Busan, South Korea between 1990 and 2021. The observation was divided into 4 periods.
Objective: The present systematic review and meta-analysis compared the diagnostic performance of F-18 fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) and conventional imaging, including MRI, echocardiography, and CT, in characterising cardiac masses.
Methods: A literature search of the PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases for studies comparing the diagnostic accuracies of F-FDG PET and conventional imaging in characterising cardiac masses, from inception of indexing to 31 July 2020, was performed. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool was used to assess study quality.
