Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the individual contribution of parity when incorporated as another parameter into the four risk of malignancy indices (RMI 1-4) to differentiate noninvasive benign lesions from invasive malignant ovarian lesions.
Materials And Methods: After calculating RMI 1-4 for each patient included in this study, the resulting RMI scores were further multiplied by the parity score (P) of each patient to calculate the RMI parity (RMIP) score.
Results: A cutoff value of 300 for RMIP 1 yielded 95.0% specificity, 97.4% negative predictive value (NPV), 88.5% sensitivity, and 79.3% positive predictive value (PPV) and performed better than RMI 1 in the preoperative diagnosis of invasive malignant lesions. RMIP 2 with a cutoff value of 400 yielded 95.0% specificity, 97.4% NPV, 88.5% sensitivity, and 79.3% PPV, and it also performed better than RMI 2. A cutoff value of 400 for RMIP 3 provided 97.5% specificity, 97.5% NPV, 88.5% sensitivity, and 88.5% PPV and performed better than RMI 3. However, a cutoff value of 400 for RMIP 4 provided 90.0% specificity, 97.3% NPV, 88.5% sensitivity, and 65.7% PPV but did not perform better than RMI 4 in the preoperative diagnosis of invasive malignant lesions.
Conclusion: RMIP 1-3 scales were more reliable tools for the preoperative diagnosis of invasive adnexal masses compared with the traditional RMI 1-3 scales.

: Lung nodules detected by chest computed tomography (CT) often require invasive biopsies for definitive diagnosis, leading to unnecessary procedures for benign lesions. A blood-based biomarker test that predicts lung cancer risk in CT-detected nodules could help stratify patients and direct invasive diagnostics toward high-risk individuals. : In this multicenter, single-blinded clinical trial, we evaluated a test measuring plasma levels of p53, anti-p53 autoantibodies, CYFRA 21-1, and anti-CYFRA 21-1 autoantibodies in patients with CT-detected lung nodules.

: Multiple non-invasive tests (NITs) for identifying advanced fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are available, but, due to the limitations of single NITs, the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) guidelines suggest a two-step strategy, combining the Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4) score with the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test to improve diagnostic accuracy and minimize unnecessary liver biopsies. However, few real-world studies have used such a sequential approach. We here evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the ELF test in patients with recently established metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and assessed the clinical utility of applying a two-step strategy, including the ELF test following the FIB-4 score assessment, in patients with MASLD.

Article Synopsis
- Thoracic trauma is a major cause of death in hospital settings, and this study investigates the link between mortality rates and specific health indicators in patients with isolated thoracic injuries.
- Conducted in a high-traffic emergency department over four years, the research included 352 patients, identifying that a higher shock index and elevated biochemical markers like glucose/potassium ratios and lactate levels correlate with increased mortality risk.
- The findings aim to improve predictions of patient outcomes by providing actionable cutoff values for these markers, indicating their potential use as indicators in emergency care settings.
Evaluation of three serological tests for the diagnosis of Brucella suis in dogs using Bayesian latent class analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Brucella suis infection in dogs is a growing concern globally, necessitating specific management due to zoonotic and animal welfare risks.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of three serological tests (RBRPT, CFT, C-ELISA) on 989 dog serum samples to diagnose Brucella suis, using advanced statistical techniques to interpret results.
- Results showed that while all tests are useful for detecting B. suis antibodies, they should not be used alone; their accuracy depends on the likelihood of the disease based on the dog's background and clinical signs.
