Background High variability in prostate MRI quality might reduce accuracy cancer detection. Purpose To prospectively evaluate the of scanners taking part control phase global PRIME (Prostate Imaging Using ± Contrast Enhancement) trial using Prostate Quality (PI-QUAL) standardized scoring system, give recommendations on how to improve protocols, and establish whether could be improved by these recommendations. Materials Methods In prospective clinical (PRIME), for each scanner, centers...
Scientific ethical review is a cornerstone of conducting medical research. It aims to ensure human subject research conducted in manner that safeguards and respects participants' rights well-being. Research ethics committees (RECs) or institutional boards (IRBs) are responsible for evaluations before approval. This entails assessing potential risks benefits associated with the For effective international collaboration, researchers must be cognisant participating countries' regulatory...
Training in retrograde intrarenal surgery for the treatment of renal stone disease is a challenging task due to unique complexity procedure. This study introduces series 3D printed models upper urinary tract and stones designed improve training process.Six different were algorithmically isolated, digitally optimized from real-life cases. Soft hard sizes produced moulds. The fitted onto commercially available part-task trainer tested surgery.Each step procedure was simulated with...

Investigations concerning carried...
Antimuscarinics (AMs) represent the mainstay of treatment for storage lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) but few data are available on their impact in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.To assess effectiveness and tolerability AMs MS patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).Sixty consecutive outpatients, who started at one centre, were recruited. The primary endpoint was change Patient's Perception Intensity Urgency Scale (PPIUS) 6 months; secondary endpoints post-void residual...
