    Abstract Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) plays a critical role in the detection, staging and risk stratification of prostate cancer (PCa). There are two widely accepted structured reporting systems used for interpretation of mpMRI of the prostate - PI-RADS v2.1 and Likert. Both these systems demonstrate good diagnostic performance with high cancer detection rates however have key conceptual differences. In this commentary, the authors highlight the individual strengths and areas of potential improvement as well as emphasize the need for continued clinical validation for these interpreting and reporting systems.

    Abstract Background: A higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors has previously been shown to be associated with adverse social determinants of health (SDoH) and to explain some of their impact on cardiovascular risk. Whether there is a relationship between lipid parameters, specifically apolipoprotein B (apoB), apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), their ratio (apoB/apoA1), and SDoH, and whether coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality risk associated with circulating apoB and apoA1 is modified by SDoH was unclear.
    Methods: We investigated associations of apoA1, apoB, and apoB/apoA1 with the level of education and household income and their joint impact on CAD mortality in participants of the UK Biobank (UKB) with and without prevalent CAD at enrollment. Hazard ratios for CAD mortality were estimated after adjusting for SDoH and clinical covariates.
    Results: In 292 804 participants without established CAD, apoB, and the apoB/apoA1 ratio were inversely associated with level of education and household income, whereas apoA1 was positively associated with household income. Adjustment for education level and household income coupled with the number of people living in the household did not attenuate the association between the apolipoprotein levels and incident CAD mortality rates. In a cohort of 13 826 participants with prevalent CAD, apoA1 levels were inversely associated with level of education. Higher apoB levels were only associated with greater CAD mortality risk after adjustment for risk factors. Risk estimation for CAD death through circulating apoA1 levels requires accounting for significant differences by sex.
    Conclusion: Circulating lipid parameters are associated with SDoH in individuals without CAD. CAD mortality risk estimation through apoA1 and apoB levels does not require accounting for SDoH.

    Abstract Studies related to loading ability and delivery of clinically used first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATDs) such as isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and streptomycin on the surface of starch-derived bulk and nanopolyurethanes (SBPUs and SNPUs) as drug delivery systems (DDS) have been focused to minimise or remove the drug-associated adverse effects. The efficiencies of nanopolyurethanes obtained from the differently substituted cyclic aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates have been studied for drug loading and release purposes. Different advanced instrumental techniques analysed the structural and morphological properties, thermal stability and crystallinity of the starch nanopolyurethans. Average particle sizes ranging from 27.35-42.38 nm to 126.89-218.60 nm for starch nanopolyurethans, SNPU3i and SNPU4i, respectively, were determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Similarly, the loading efficiency of ATDs to the surfaces of SNPUs and SBPUs was observed in the range of 60-97% while ATDs-loaded SNPUs showed a sustainable release profile for all ATDs except for streptomycin. However, most SBPUs provided burst-release for all the above-mentioned ATDs in pH-dependent studies. The anti-tuberculosis assay against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain revealed that streptomycin-loaded SNPU4i and isoniazid-loaded SNPU7i are approximately 42 and 7 times more active than the native streptomycin and isoniazid, respectively.

    Abstract Nanoparticles-based drug delivery is at the forefront in the field of pharmaceutical and medicinal research to eradicate or alleviate the associated impediments, such as prolonged treatment time, high doses, toxicity and resistance problem of anti-tuberculosis drugs for the treatment of age-old tuberculosis disease. Herein, the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs were loaded into the biodegradable starch nanocrystals and native starch to improve the therapeutic profile addressing the existing issues related to conventional drugs. The loading performance of anti-tuberculosis drugs with starch nanocrystals and native starch was found in the range of 65–95%. According to the release study, the native starch was not appropriate, however, the starch nanocrystals demonstrated sustained release drug delivery for isoniazid and pyrazinamide ranging from 50 to 93% for 24 h; the burst release for streptomycin was reported at pH 2 in 6.5 h while only 14% rifampicin was released at pH 8 buffer. An anti-mycobacterium analysis of strain H37Rv showed that minimum inhibition concentration of starch nanocrystals loaded with isoniazid and pyrazinamide (0.033 μg/mL and 1.25 μg/mL, respectively) were more effective than the parent isoniazid (0.2 μg/mL) and pyrazinamide (25.0 μg/mL) at pH 5.5.

    Abstract The concept of thermal therapy toward the treatment of brain tumors has gained traction in recent years. Traditionally, thermal therapy has been subdivided into hyperthermia, with mild elevation of temperature in treated tissue above the physiologic baseline; and thermal ablation, where even higher temperatures are achieved. The recent surge in interest has been driven by the use of novel thermal ablation technologies, including laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), that are implemented in brain tumor treatment. Here, we review previous scientific literature on the biologic effects of thermal therapy on brain tumors, with an emphasis on glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain malignancy. In addition, we present

    Abstract Background: Periprosthetic fractures are increasingly encountered in hip arthroplasty. The Vancouver classification system is widely used. Little knowledge exists regarding the association of the Vancouver classification with either cemented or uncemented stems. The aim was to analyse a series of fractures and determine associations.
    Methods: A series of consecutive patients over 8 years was identified including only post-operative fractures of primary hip arthroplasties. Baseline and radiographic characteristics were recorded including the type of stem fixation (cemented or uncemented) and Vancouver classification. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the association of the Vancouver classification between cemented and uncemented stems.
    Results: A total of 172 patients were identified (84 cemented stems, 88 uncemented stems). There were 30 Vancouver A fractures (12 cemented vs.18 uncemented, p > 0.05), 125 Vancouver B fractures (63 cemented vs. 62 uncemented, p > 0.05) and 17 Vancouver C fractures (9 cemented vs. 8 uncemented, p > 0.05). The Vancouver B2 fracture occurred most frequently (N = 95; 44 cemented vs. 51 uncemented, p > 0.05) and consists of four distinct fracture patterns: the previously described comminuted 'burst', clamshell and spiral patterns and the newly observed 'reverse' clamshell. The burst and spiral fracture patterns are significantly associated with cemented stems, and the clamshell pattern is significantly associated with uncemented stems.
    Conclusions: Vancouver A, B and C fractures occur equally in cemented and uncemented stems. Awareness of four distinct Vancouver B2 fracture patterns, including the newly observed reverse clamshell, will aid surgeons in predicting stem instability.

    Abstract Multiparametric MRI and targeted biopsies of the prostate have been increasingly utilized in men with elevated PSA. It is important to recognize potential mimics of prostate cancer on MRI and on biopsy specimens. Familiarity with the location, imaging and histological appearance of Cowper's glands will prevent misdiagnosis and help avoid unnecessary biopsies. We present a case of Cowper's gland hyperplasia with a review of its imaging and histopathologic characteristics.

    Abstract A growing body of evidence links abusive head trauma (AHT) to patterns of direct and indirect spinal injuries, such as spinal subdural hemorrhage (SDH). Identification of evidence of spinal injury such as spinal SDH plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and subsequent management of the index child with AHT and his or her siblings. In a value-based practice of medicine, it can be argued that adding spine imaging to identify spinal SDH in the workup of AHT adds value to both the short- and long-term management of the patient. This pictorial review describes the normal appearance of spinal SDH and challenges of identifying spinal SDH, and it explores the mechanism of spinal SDH development in AHT.
