Department of Urology Diakonissenkrankenhaus, Flensburg, University Teaching Hospital of Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Flensburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the evolving role of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) in diagnosing prostate cancer, particularly in pre-biopsy localization and targeting compared to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).
- It differentiates between the use of TRUS for basic zonal biopsies and its advanced role in identifying and targeting abnormal lesions.
- The text also covers the use of AI in lesion detection, comparing the cost, availability, contraindications, and diagnostic accuracy of TRUS versus mpMRI.

Barts and the Royal London Hospitals, London E1 1BB, UK.
Aims: This study compared outcomes of surgical versus conservative management of ankle fractures in adults through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: We searched CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and CENTRAL databases (1946-June 2019) for randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials comparing surgical versus conservative management of closed adult ankle fractures of any type. Estimates of effect were pooled using random effects meta-analysis.
To Stent or Not to Stent: A Tale of Two Occlusions.
Cureus
June 2017
Department of Radiology, Baylor University Medical Center.
Stenting and balloon angioplasty, along with mechanical thrombectomy, have gained notability as adjunctive treatment options to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) for tandem internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions (TIM occlusions). Acute ischemic strokes (AISs) secondary to TIM occlusions are associated with poor patient outcomes primarily due to low recanalization rates following intravenous thrombolysis, consequently prompting the need for more invasive recanalization efforts. Often, the treatment algorithm is based on the success of the initial angioplasty, suspected volume of completed infarction, and whether or not thrombolytics are utilized.

Acupuncture refers to the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points for a therapeutic effect. The term comes from the Latin words 'acus' (needle) and 'punctura' (to puncture). The technique has been practiced in the Far East for at least 3000 yrs but it is only in the last 30 yrs that interest has developed in the West underpinned by increasing scientific research.

Department of Urology, Barts and The Royal London Hospitals, London, United Kingdom.
Transurethral ethanol ablation of the prostate (TEAP) has emerged among the treatment alternatives to transurethral resection of prostate as a promising minimally invasive therapy that can be performed on an outpatient basis with fewer complications. It was introduced approximately 5 years ago, and to date, 12-month results are encouraging. We herein review the procedure and outcomes of TEAP.

Department of Medical Microbiology and Virology, St. Barts and the Royal London Hospitals, London, United Kingdom.
Disseminated zoster occurring simultaneously with cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in a renal transplant recipient is potentially life threatening. We describe the use of intravenous ganciclovir to treat both infections. The efficacy of treatment was assessed clinically and by the measurement of CMV viral load using the hybrid capture (Murex version 2) and varicella zoster (VZV) viral load using an in-house assay.
