Structured residency programmes within dedicated associations of hospitals, practices and medical care centres offer the opportunity to improve the quality of training and to increase the attractiveness of urology through fixed rotations of doctors in continued training. The implementation of such programmes is guided by the framework conditions of the respective location. Possible rotations range from andrology to paediatric urology and uro-gynaecology to interdisciplinary uro-oncology. An outpatient training period also offers the chance for a change of perspective and supports career orientation. Rotations in the interdisciplinary intermediate care unit offer the opportunity to become familiar with the care of complex disease processes, including the differential diagnostic assessment of abdominal diseases, which is important in urology. In summary, the diversity of urological training available can enable junior urologists to receive more individualised and targeted training by promoting multilayered, intersectoral as well as interprofessional training.

Background: Health authorities worldwide have invested in digital technologies to establish robust information exchange systems for improving the safety and efficiency of medication management. Nevertheless, inaccurate medication lists and information gaps are common, particularly during care transitions, leading to avoidable harm, inefficiencies, and increased costs. Besides fragmented health care processes, the inconsistent incorporation of patient-driven changes contributes to these problems.

Molybdenum blue colorimetry (MBC) is the dominant, well-established method used for determining total P in environmental media, including in organismal tissues. However, other elemental methods for P determination are available, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Given the extensive literature using MBC to determine P in organismal samples, it is important to assess P analyses by ICP-MS and MBC to ensure that the two methods produce comparable data.

Background: Screening for breast cancer has been effective in decreasing mortality. Mammography is not readily available in resource-limited countries like India. Annual clinical breast examination has been demonstrated to be as effective as biennial mammography in reducing mortality with much less cost.

Inavolisib (Itovebi) is an orally administered, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitor being developed by Genentech, a member of the Roche group, for the treatment of solid tumours. On 10 October 2024, inavolisib received its first approval in the USA in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. In the EU and other countries worldwide, regulatory review of inavolisib is currently underway.
