    Abstract Understanding of ecological interactions is necessary for the application of biological control. Banana is the second most produced fruit worldwide and the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the most important pest of banana and plantain. Its biological control remains challenging because of the robustness and cryptic behaviour of the adult and the hidden development of larval stages. Researchers therefore tend to favour conservation biological control of this pest. The commonly used methods for measuring the effects of natural enemies on the regulation of this pest focus on invertebrates and may underestimate the role of vertebrates on biological control. Using cameras, we recorded the predation of sentinel adult weevils in banana plots in La Réunion island that differed in weevil infestation levels and in animal biodiversity. To facilitate image analysis, we used background subtraction to isolate moving parts of image sequences and thus detect predators and predation events. Our cameras recorded only vertebrates as predators of adult banana weevils. The most important predator appeared to be the Asian shrew (Suncus murinus), which was responsible for 67% of the predation events. Other predators included the house mouse (Mus musculus), the oriental garden lizard (Calotes versicolor), and the guttural toad (Sclerophrys gutturalis). The exact time of predation events were determined from the images metadata. It was thus possible to identify predator foraging periods that coincided with activity of adult weevils. Our results confirm that images provide useful information for biological and ecological studies. Along with other recent studies, our results suggest that the role of vertebrates in biological control may be underestimated. Based on these results, we advocate for several management implications such as the installation of hedges, grasslands, and ponds to favour these vertebrate predators of the banana weevil, possibly also favouring other vertebrate and invertebrate natural enemies.

    Abstract Background and aims: Pre-clinical studies suggest that the simultaneous blockade of the α1b and 5HT2A receptors may be effective in reducing alcohol consumption. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of prazosin (α1b blocker) and cyproheptadine (5HT2A blocker) combination in decreasing total alcohol consumption (TAC) in alcohol use disorder (AUD).
    Design, setting and participants: This was a double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, Phase 2, randomized clinical trial conducted in 32 addiction treatment centres in France. A total of 108 men and 46 women with severe AUD took part.
    Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned to one of the following 3-month treatments: (1) low-dose group (LDG) receiving 8 mg cyproheptadine and 5 mg prazosin extended-release (ER) formulation daily; (2) high-dose group (HDG) receiving 12 mg cyproheptadine and 10 mg prazosin ER daily; and (3) placebo group (PG) receiving placebo of cyproheptadine and prazosin ER. A total of 154 patients were randomized: 54 in the PG, 54 in the LDG and 46 in the HDG.
    Measurements: The primary outcome was TAC change from baseline to month 3.
    Findings: A significant main treatment effect in the change in TAC was found in the intent-to-treat population (P = 0.039). The HDG and LDG showed a benefit in the change in TAC from baseline to month 3 compared with PG: -23.6 g/day, P = 0.016, Cohen's d = -0.44; -18.4 g/day, P = 0.048 (Bonferroni correction P < 0.025), Cohen's d = -0.36. In a subgroup of very high-risk drinking-level participants (> 100 g/day of pure alcohol for men and > 60 g/day for women), the difference between the HDG and the PG in the primary outcome was -29.8 g/day (P = 0.031, Cohen's d = -0.51). The high and low doses were well-tolerated with a similar safety profile.
    Conclusions: A randomized controlled trial of treatment of severe alcohol use disorder with a cyproheptadine-prazosin combination for 3 months reduced drinking by more than 23 g per day compared with placebo. A higher dose combination was associated with a larger magnitude of drinking reduction than a lower dose combination while showing similar safety profile.

    Abstract Background: The risk of prostate cancer metastatic is correlated with its volume and grade. These parameters are now best estimated preoperatively with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI-guided biopsy.
    Objective: To estimate the risk of metastatic recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) in our model versus conventional clinical European Association of Urology (EAU) classification. The secondary objective is biochemical recurrence (BCR).
    Design setting and participants: A retrospective study was conducted of a cohort of 713 patients having undergone MRI-guided biopsies and RP between 2009 and 2018. The preoperative variables included prostate-specific antigen, cT stage, tumor volume (TV) based on the lesion's largest diameter at MRI, percentage of Gleason pattern 4/5 (%GP4/5) at MRI-guided biopsy, and volume of GP4/5 (VolGP4/5) calculated as TV × %GP4/5.
    Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The variables' ability to predict recurrence was determined in univariable and multivariable Fine-and-Gray models, according to the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Harrell's C-index.
    Results and limitations: Overall, 176 (25%), 430 (60%), and 107 (15%) patients had low, intermediate, and high-risk disease, respectively, according to the EAU classification. During a median follow-up period of 57 mo, metastatic recurrence was observed in 48 patients with a 5-yr probability of 5.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.9-7.7). VolGP4/5 (categories: <0.5, 0.5-1.0, 1.01-3.2, and >3.2 ml) was the parameter with the lowest AIC and the highest C-index for metastatic recurrence of 0.82 (95% CI 0.76-0.88), and for BCR it was 0.73 (95% CI 0.68-0.78). In a multivariable model that included %GP4/5 and TV, C-index values were 0.86 (95% CI 0.79-0.91) for metastatic recurrence and 0.77 (0.72-0.82) for BCR. The same results for EAU classification were 0.74 (0.67-0.80) and 0.67 (0.63-0.72), respectively. Limitations are related to short follow-up and expertise of radiologists and urologists.
    Conclusions: We developed a preoperative risk tool integrating the VolGP4/5 based on MRI and MRI-guided biopsies to predict metastatic recurrence after RP. Our model showed higher accuracy than conventional clinical risk models. These findings might enable physicians to provide more personalized patient care.
    Patient summary: Aggressiveness of prostate cancer evaluated before treatment by incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI-guided biopsy results gives a better estimate of the risk of metastatic recurrence than previous parameters not based on MRI.

    Abstract Partial prostatectomy has been described as an alternative to focal ablation therapy for the management of localized low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. This report aims to describe the long-term outcomes in a series of 28 men (2000-2022) who underwent robotic-assisted anterior partial prostatectomy (APP) for anteriorly located tumors entirely or partially within the anterior fibromuscular stroma. The median follow-up is 7 yr (interquartile range [IQR]: 4.2-8). The median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) before APP was 9.6 (6-11). Continence remained uninterrupted in 92% of patients. Erectile function without drug remained uninterrupted in 69%. The median nadir PSA after APP was 0.36 ng/ml (IQR: 0.25-0.60). Cancer recurrence at biopsies at the margins of the primary cancer resected area in case of a PSA elevation was observed in eight patients and led to salvage completion robotic radical prostatectomy at a median time of 3.25 yr (IQR: 2.4-6). Freedom from post-APP cancer recurrence at 7 yr was 62.7% (35.0-81.3%). Pre-APP tumor volume at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and volume of grade 4/5 were predictive of recurrence. Freedom from biochemical recurrence after completion radical prostatectomy at 7 yr was 94.7% (68.1-99.3%). All 28 patients are alive. No one had systemic treatment or metastases. These results confirm our initial report of robotic APP with good functional results and acceptable oncological results. The use of the inclusion criteria of pre-APP tumor volume at MRI <3 cc may decrease the risk of recurrence.
    Patient summary: In this report, we looked at outcomes for infrequent cases of anterior prostate cancer treated with anterior partial prostatectomy, an uncommon surgical procedure as an alternative to in situ focal ablation therapy, to better preserve functional outcomes as compared with whole gland therapy. We found that functional outcomes of uninterrupted continence and erectile function were good. Out of 28 patients, eight had recurrence in the remaining prostate and were treated with a second surgical procedure, radical prostatectomy, which was feasible. We conclude that this new technique is feasible with good functional results and acceptable oncological results, which can be shared with the patients.

    Abstract Background: The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) score is a novel standardized approach to image and report bladder cancer (BC) with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).
    Objectives: To describe and evaluate the performance of the VI-RADS score using mpMRI and assess its potential clinical applications and limitations.
    Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the MEDLINE and EMBASE electronic bibliographic databases between June 2020 and December 2020. All reports deemed relevant to describe the VI-RADS score and assess its performance and applications were retrieved. Results presentation stands as narrative, purely descriptive synthesis based on aggregate studies data.
    Results: A total of 20 relevant studies were retrieved: three meta-analyses, five prospective studies, and twelve retrospective studies. The retrospective studies covered 1676 patients, while the prospective studies included a total number of 468 patients. Pooled sensitivity, specificity to differentiate muscle-invasive from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, ranged from 74.1% to 97.3%, and 77% to 100%, respectively. The chosen VI-RADS score thresholds for this discrimination varied across studies. The interreader agreement ranged from 0.73 to 0.95. Currently, the potential clinical applications of VI-RADS consist of initial BC risk stratification, assessment of neoadjuvant therapies response, and bladder sparing approaches, although further validation is required.
    Conclusions: The VI-RADS score helps to discriminate muscle invasive from non-muscle invasive BC with good performance and reproducibility. A simple algorithm based on four basic questions may enhance its popularization. Further studies are required to validate the clinical applications.
