Article Abstract
Background: To evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) parameters, such as TransPA (transverse prostate maximum sectional area), TransCGA (transverse central gland sectional area), TransPZA (transverse peripheral zone sectional area), and TransPAI (TransPZA/TransCGA ratio) in predicting prostate cancer (PCa) in prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) 3 lesions.
Methods: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and the best cut-off, were calculated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to evaluate the capability to predict PCa.
Results: Out of 120 PI-RADS 3 lesions, 54 (45.0%) were PCa with 34 (28.3%) csPCas. Median TransPA, TransCGA, TransPZA and TransPAI were 15.4cm, 9.1cm, 5.5cm and 0.57, respectively. At multivariate analysis, location in the transition zone (OR=7.92, 95% CI: 2.70-23.29, P<0.001) and TransPA (OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.76-0.92, P<0.001) were independent predictors of PCa. The TransPA (OR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.082-0.99, P=0.022) was an independent predictor of csPCa. The best cut-off of TransPA for csPCa was 18 (Sensitivity 88.2%, Specificity 37.2%, PPV 35.7%, NPV 88.9%). The discrimination (AUC) of the multivariate model was 0.627 (95% CI: 0.519-0.734, P<0.031).
Conclusions: In PI-RADS 3 lesions, the TransPA could be useful in selecting patients requiring biopsy.

Nada Tomasović Mrčela, Department of Public Health Gerontology, Andrija Štampar Teaching Institute of Public Health, Mirogojska cesta 16, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia,
Aim: To assess whether the Mini-Mental State Examination, second edition (MMSE-2), scores were associated with the category of functional independence of nursing-home residents and the level of accommodation services they received.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 248 participants older than 65 residing in five county-owned nursing homes in the city of Zagreb from 2017 to 2019. Cognitive status was assessed with the standard version of the MMSE-2, and the level of functional independence with the modified Barthel scale index.
