Objectives: To understand how best to further reduce the inappropriate use of pre-surgical androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), we investigated the determinants (influences) of ADT prescribing in urologists in two European countries using an established behavioural science approach. Additionally, we sought to understand how resource limitations caused by COVID-19 influenced this practice. Identification of key determinants, of undistributed and disrupted practice, will aid development of future strategies to reduce inappropriate ADT prescribing in current and future resource-limited settings.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Patients who tested positive for COVID-19 experienced a higher overall rate of post-surgical complications and hospital mortality.
Objective: To compare the asociation of post-surgical complications presented in post-surgical hip patients with and without history of COVID-19 infection.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of point-of-care tests (POCT) in maintaining elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on reducing delayed testing and administration times.
- It involved 274 patients, comparing those under usual care with those using POCT, and found no significant difference in cancellation rates but a substantial decrease in administrative tasks for the POCT group.
- Most participants in the POCT group felt that these tests improved care management, reduced admin time, and diminished the risk of appointment cancellations.
Limited impact of discretization/interpolation parameters on the predictive power of CT radiomic features in a surgical cohort of pancreatic cancer patients.

Purpose: To explore the variation of the discriminative power of CT (Computed Tomography) radiomic features (RF) against image discretization/interpolation in predicting early distant relapses (EDR) after upfront surgery.
Materials And Methods: Data of 144 patients with pre-surgical high contrast CT were processed consistently with IBSI (Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative) guidelines. Image interpolation/discretization parameters were intentionally changed, including cubic voxel size (0.

Cancer Sciences Academic Unit, University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton, Tremona Road, Southampton, SO16 6YD, UK.
Purpose: The B-MaP-C study investigated changes to breast cancer care that were necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we present a follow-up analysis of those patients commenced on bridging endocrine therapy (BrET), whilst they were awaiting surgery due to reprioritisation of resources.
Methods: This multicentre, multinational cohort study recruited 6045 patients from the UK, Spain and Portugal during the peak pandemic period (Feb-July 2020).
