A commercial kit (EnviroAmp) designed to detect the DNA of Legionella species in environmental water samples using PCR and reverse dot hybridization was applied to clinical specimens. Results correlated well with culture for bronchoalveolar lavages. In addition, this test was easy to perform and showed good sensitivity.

Background/objectives: Patients with ovarian cancer commonly experience metastases and recurrences, which contribute to high mortality. Our objective was to better understand ovarian cancer metastasis and identify candidate biomarkers and drug targets for predicting and preventing ovarian cancer recurrence.
Methods: Transcripts of 770 cancer-associated genes were compared in cells collected from ascitic fluid versus resected tumors of an ES-2 orthotopic ovarian cancer mouse model.
Correlation of gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography - Computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging with histopathology characteristics in carcinoma prostate patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Department of Urology, Apollo Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Introduction: Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (Ga-PSMA PET) is being increasingly used in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) for the staging and detection of lymph node (LN) metastases, despite a lack of prospective, validated evidence. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the PSMA PET findings (maximum standardized uptake [SUV] value) and the final histopathology results (Gleason Grade [GG], and LN positivity) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Methods: This is a single centre, prospective, observational study of 63 consecutive eligible patients treated at a tertiary care centre in India.
