Abstract Objectives To characterise contemporary UK practice in prostate MRI reporting and pathways, and identify priorities for standardisation. Methods Between February and April 2025, a questionnaire was distributed by the British Society of Urogenital Radiology to UK-based consultant radiologists who report prostate MRI. It contained 34 questions, covering 6 domains: demographics; MRI protocols; biopsy; reporting preferences; imaging pathways; and attitudes towards accred

ABSTRACT Background The presence of intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) in the urothelium has been well documented in adults with chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), but its long-term persistence going undetected in a severely symptomatic adolescent has not been reported. Case Summary We present the case of a 14-year-old girl suffering from debilitating chronic UTI symptoms and associated urinary incontinence for many years. Multiple antibiotic courses provided on

Background: Frailty and falls significantly impact the health and quality of life of older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), increasing morbidity and dependency. However, their association in Vietnamese populations remains understudied. This study aimed to examine the association between frailty and fall risk and identify additional fall-related factors among older Vietnamese outpatients with T2D. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 740 outpatients with T2

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to the Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation System, a new focal therapy that uses steam to destroy prostate cancer tissue. Developed by Francis Medical, the device delivers water vapor directly into prostate tumors via a transurethral approach, releasing thermal energy that destroys cancer cells while aiming to preserve surrounding tissue. Approval was based on early results from the VAPOR 2 study, a prospective, single-arm trial involving 235 me

A large European study with more than 20 years of follow-up shows that PSA blood test screening significantly reduces deaths from prostate cancer. The research is part of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC), which began in 1993 and included over 160,000 men from eight European countries. This is the longest and most comprehensive prostate cancer screening study to date, and its findings were recently published in The New England Journal of M

This study investigates how patient peer effects in nursing homes influence mortality, using administrative data from 2.6 million stays across 7,200 U.S. facilities between 2000 and 2010. By leveraging exogenous roommate assignments through unique room identifiers, the researchers found that patients placed with roommates diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD) faced a 2.1 percentage point higher 90-day mortality rate compared t
