Importance: The phase 3 randomized EMBARK trial evaluated enzalutamide with or without leuprolide in high-risk nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Eligibility relied on conventional imaging, which underdetects metastatic disease compared with prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET).
Objective: To describe the staging information obtained by PSMA-PET/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) in a patient cohort eligible for the EMBARK trial.

Background: Mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) is a somatic, age-related event that has been previously associated with a variety of diseases of aging. A prior study of European cohorts demonstrated an association between LOY and Alzheimer's Disease and more recent molecular studies have shown that LOY can also occur within microglia, suggesting a potential functional role in AD pathogenesis.
Method: In this study, we further validate the association between LOY in blood and AD via prospective analyses of 1,447 males.

Background: Cognitive tests of naming ability have been shown to have diagnostic and prognostic utility in both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD; Taler & Phillips, 2008). The Boston Naming Test (BNT) is the most common naming test, which consists of 60 black-and-white drawings and takes 20-30 minutes to administer. Retrospective analysis has shown that administering the BNT in an adaptive fashion could result in a comparable measure of the patient's naming ability in only 8 items instead of 60.

While AD prospective studies assess similar cognitive domains, the neuropsychological tests used vary between studies, limiting potential for aggregation. We examined a machine learning (ML) data harmonisation method for neuropsychological test data to develop a harmonised PACC score for the Alzheimer's Dementia Onset and Progression in International Cohorts (ADOPIC) consortium.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with a range of non-cognitive symptoms that can be early or even presenting features. Better recognition of pre-diagnostic symptoms of AD would support improved early detection and diagnosis.
Method: To identify possible prodromal symptoms of AD, we systematically searched three electronic databases for prospective longitudinal studies to March 2023, that reported the risk of AD diagnosis associated with non-cognitive symptoms.
