This study aims to determine the vision and mission of an academic hospital's medical psychiatry unit (MPU) that exclusively treats geriatric patients. All healthcare providers working at an academic hospital's geriatric MPU were invited to reflect on formulate the vision and mission of this ward. Twenty-two of them took part in the focus group interviews. The interviews focused on defining the MPU's functioning, its objectives, how it will reach these objectives, and where the MPU aspires to go. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to the QUAGOL guide...

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has improved systematic prostate biopsy procedures in the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) by reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies; numerous level one evidence studies have confirmed the accuracy of MRI-targeted biopsy, but, still today, systematic prostate biopsy is recommended to reduce the 15-20% false negative rate of mpMRI. New advanced imaging has been proposed to detect suspicious lesions and perform targeted biopsies especially when mpMRI cannot be performed...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to discuss the diagnostic value of multi-parameter ultrasound evaluation in sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS: Patients were divided into an AKI group ( n  = 50) and a non-injury group ( n  = 50) based on the presence of AKI. The clinical characteristics were collected, and renal function parameters between the two groups were compared, including 24-h urine volume, serum creatinine, urea, serum cystatin C (CysC), renal parenchymal thickness (RPT), renal artery resistance index (RI), and multi-parameter ultrasound scoring (MPUS)...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of multiparametric ultrasonography (mpUS) combined with serological examination, as a non-invasive method, in detecting prostate cancer (PCa) or high-grade prostate cancer (HGPCa) respectively. METHODS: A cohort of 245 individuals with clinically suspected PCa were enrolled. All subjects underwent a comprehensive evaluation, including basic data collection, serological testing, mpUS and prostate biopsy. Random Forest (RF) models were developed, and the mean area under the curve (AUC) in 100 cross-validations was used to assess the performance in distinguishing PCa from HGPCa...

Ultrasound (US) of the thyroid has been used as a diagnostic tool since the late 1960s. US is the most important imaging tool for diagnosing thyroid disease. In the majority of cases a correct diagnosis can already be made in synopsis of the sonographic together with clinical findings and basal thyroid hormone parameters. However, the characterization of thyroid nodules by US remains challenging. The introduction of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADSs) has improved diagnostic accuracy of thyroid cancer significantly...

BACKGROUND: Enlarged cervical lymph nodes (CLNs) can result from infection or malignancies, and a definitive diagnosis requires histological examination. Ultrasound (US) remains the first-line imaging modality for detection, and new US techniques may improve characterization. The aim of our study was to investigate whether the qualitative assessment of multiparametric US (mpUS) can improve diagnostic performance in the differentiation of benign and malignant CLNs. METHODS: 107 CLNs in 105 patients were examined by preoperative mpUS consisting of B-mode US, color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS), shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS)...

The present study aimed to assess the diagnostic test accuracy of different ultrasound scanning technologies in the detection of prostate cancer. A systematic search was conducted using the Cochrane Guidelines for Screening and Diagnostic Tests. We performed a systematic search in the international databases PubMed, Medline, Ovid, Embase and Cochrane Library. Searches were designed to find all studies that evaluated Micro-US, mpUS, SWE and CEUS as the main detection modalities for prostate cancer. This study was registered with Research Registry of systematic review and meta-analysis...

BACKGROUND: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) provides enhanced diagnostic accuracy in the detection of prostate cancer, but is not devoid of limitations. Given the recent evolution of non-MRI imaging techniques, this critical review of the literature aimed at summarizing the available evidence on ultrasound-based and nuclear medicine imaging technologies in the initial diagnosis of PCa. METHODS: Three databases (PubMed®, Web of Science™, and Scopus®) were queried for studies examining their diagnostic performance in the primary diagnosis of PCa, weighted against a histological confirmation of PCa diagnosis, using a free-text protocol...

OBJECTIVE: Hepatic acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a serious complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and is one of the leading causes of early non-recurrent death. The current diagnosis is based mainly based on clinical diagnosis, and there is a lack of non-invasive quantitative diagnosis methods. We propose a multiparametric ultrasound (MPUS) imaging method and explore its effectiveness in evaluating hepatic aGVHD. METHODS: In this study, 48 female Wistar rats were used as receptors and 12 male Fischer 344 rats were used as donors for allo-HSCT to establish aGVHD models...

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The tendency toward population-based screening programs for prostate cancer (PCa) is expected to increase demand for prebiopsy imaging. This study hypothesizes that a machine learning image classification algorithm for three-dimensional multiparametric transrectal prostate ultrasound (3D mpUS) can detect PCa accurately.

OBJECTIVE: The preoperative diagnostical differentiation of parotid gland tumor (PGT) is not always simple due to several different entities. B-mode-ultrasound (US) remains the imaging modality of choice, while histopathology serves as the gold standard for finalizing the diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the use of multiparametric US (mpUS) in the assessment of PGT. METHODS: We included 97 PGTs from 96 patients. A standardized mpUS protocol using B-mode-US, shear-wave elastography (SWE), and standardized contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was performed prior to surgical intervention...

3D printing in dosage forms fabrication is in the focus of researchers, however, the attempts in multiparticulate units (MPUs) preparation are scarce. The aim of this study was to fabricate different size MPUs by selective laser sintering (SLS), using different polymers, and investigate their processability based on the SeDeM Expert System approach. MPUs (1- or 2-mm size) were prepared with model drug (ibuprofen or caffeine), polymer (poly(ethylene)oxide (PEO), ethyl cellulose (EC) or methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (MA-EA)) and printing aid...

Marble units generate an enormous amount of non-biodegradable waste during the processing operations and are considered one of the environmentally unfriendly industrial sectors. This sector has become a global nuisance due to its multi-dimensional damaging nature. Therefore, a multidimensional approach is needed to geographically describe the pollution sources, their waste load, collection mechanism, and their proper disposal or reuse. This article highlights an integrated approach to sorting out the multidimensional issues associated with the marble sector...
