Transrectal ultrasonography is a technique that is gaining popularity in the assessment of rectal and extrarectal disease. From April 1987 to May 1989, 53 transrectal sonograms were done to evaluate rectal disease. Twenty-seven of 30 adenocarcinomas have been correctly staged. The operative procedure and the decision to use preoperative radiotherapy have been influenced by the results of these studies. Recurrent tumors and less common anorectal disease have also been evaluated with this technique. When feasible to perform, ultrasonographically guided biopsies yield specimens that can provide added information on which to base a therapeutic approach.

The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a granulosa cell-derived hormone that has been associated with female fertility and reflects the population of growing follicles. This study aimed to evaluate the average concentration of AMH in Lipizzaner mares, as well as to determine the relationship between AMH concentration and follicle number and size. We also investigated the relationship between the age of mares and their AMH levels.

Background: Current approach to clinically suspicious biopsy-naïve men consists performing prostate MRI, followed by combined systematic (TRUS-Bx) and MRI-Ultrasound fusion biopsy (MRI-TBx) in those with PIRADS score ≥ 3. Researchers have attempted to determine who benefits from each biopsy method, but the results do not support the safe use of one method alone. This study aims to determine the optimal approach in biopsy-naïve men, according to their PSA levels.
