AI Article Synopsis
- The urological examination starts with inspecting the external male genitals, with a focus on distinguishing harmless conditions like pearly penile papules from more serious infections or malignancies.
- Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a common condition that can cause significant discomfort and functional issues, which may be treated with both conservative and more invasive methods.
- The rising incidence of sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, which can also apply to detecting malignant conditions like Queyrat's erythroplasia during routine genital inspections.
Article Abstract
The urological examination includes the inspection of the external male genitals. Harmless normal variants, such as heterotopic sebaceous glands and pearly penile papules must be differentiated from malignant and infectious manifestations. Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a frequent connective tissue disease that can lead to functional impairments and an associated high level of suffering for those affected. Both conservative and invasive treatment options are available. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, are gaining increasing importance in routine clinical and daily practice due to the increasing incidence in recent years. An early diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms, such as Queyrat's erythroplasia can be carried out by routine inspection of the genital skin.

The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of bone transport in treating upper- middle vs. lower- middle tibial bone defects. Sixty-two patients with tibial infected large segmental defects treated by bone transport were analyzed retrospectively and divided into distal group (lower- middle tibial bone defects and proximal transport, n=38) and proximal group (upper- middle tibial bone defects and distal transport, n=24).

The Skeletal Oncology Research Group (SORG) machine learning algorithm (MLA) has been previously developed and internally validated to predict 90-day and 1-year survival. External validation showed promise in the United States and Taiwan.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the lack of non-invasive early detection tools, which significantly impacts patient prognosis. Given that glycosylation alterations especially high sialylation and fucosylation, frequently occur during cellular malignant transformation, but their roles are not elucidated. We examined alterations in disease-specific glycosylated extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs in the serum of ESCC patients, evaluating their utility as diagnostic biomarkers.

Department of Urology, The second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.
Background: The lymph node ratio (LNR) has been recognized as an emerging prognostic biomarker in various malignant tumors. Our study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of LNR in postoperative patients with lymph node-positive bladder cancer.
Methods: This study comprised a total of 3911 eligible patients diagnosed with lymph node-positive bladder cancer.

Background: Acute non-traumatic chest pain is one of the common complaints in the emergency department and is closely associated with fatal disease. Triage assessment urgently requires the use of simple, rapid tools to screen patients with chest pain for high-risk condition to improve patient outcomes.
Methods: After data preprocessing and feature selection, univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify potential predictors associated with acute non-traumatic chest pain.
