RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To determine the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) index lesion using high resolution transrectal micro-ultrasound (MicroUS) applying PRI-MUS (Prostate Risk Identification using Micro Ultrasound) score v1.0. METHODS: Men who underwent radical prostatectomy following biopsy and MicroUS assessment were included. MicroUS dynamic cine loops of these patients were retrospectively reviewed by an experienced radiologist. The radiologist was aware that patients had undergone radical prostatectomy but was blinded to pathological data. Suspicious sites were assigned a PRI-MUS score. Radical prostatectomy specimens were examined with the quarter mount technique. Detection rate of csPCa index lesion [Grade Group (GG) ≥2] by MicroUS was assessed at a patient level. RESULTS: Twenty-five participants were included in the analysis. The median age was 65.5 years (range 56-74). Median PSA was 6.45 ng/dL (range 2-31.72). Two of 25 patients did not have csPCa (GG1 disease) on radical prostatectomy. MicroUS visualized 20/23 (87%) of the csPCa index lesions [median length 9 mm (range 1.5- 28.5)]. All identified lesions were categorized PRIMUS score 4 or 5. The 3 missed index lesions were in the transition zone [median length 10.5 mm (range 4.5-22.5)]. MicroUS missed 11 non index csPCa in 9 participants [median length 1.5 mm (range 1.5-10.5)]. Of these, 8 were GG2, 2 GG3 and 1 GG5. MicroUS identified the csPCa index lesion in all 9 of these men. CONCLUSION: MicroUS showed the high sensitivity (87%) in detecting index lesions in the prostate gland and identified 100% of index lesions in the peripheral zone.

We present a case of monkeypox infection in a man presenting with genital and labial ulcers, followed by submandibular lymphadenopathy, fever, and constitutional symptoms. His course was complicated by myopericarditis and an ongoing pleomorphic skin eruption. Viral deoxyribonucleic acid was detected by polymerase chain reaction in skin swabs, nasopharyngeal swab, saliva, and semen.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: People with cancer are at increased risk of incidental venous thromboembolism (VTE) and PET-CT imaging is commonly used in this population. However, the prevalence of incidental VTE detected by PET-CT in patients with cancer and its impact on survival are unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was approved by the local Institutional Review Board. 1331 consecutive adult patients with cancer who underwent PET-CT examination between 2009 and 2012 were included in the study (mean age: 57 ± 15 years). PET-CT reports were reviewed to identify patients with incidental VTE at the time of examination. Survival rates were assessed with Kaplan-Meier curves. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine the association between incidental VTE and overall survival, after controlling for clinical variables. RESULTS: Incidental VTE was detected in 19 patients (1.4%). Patients with genitourinary malignancies, colorectal cancer and lung cancer had the highest rates of incidental VTE at PET-CT. At multivariate analysis, incidental VTE detected by PET-CT was associated with worse overall survival independently of patient age, hospitalization status at time of PET-CT examination, and the presence of metastatic disease (Hazard ratio=2.03; 95% confidence interval=1.08-3.81, p=0.028). CONCLUSION: Incidental VTE was detected in 1.4% of adult patients with cancer undergoing PET-CT imaging. Diagnosis of incidental VTE at PET-CT imaging was associated with worse overall survival in this population.
