Article Abstract
Background/aim: This study aims to compare the success rates of rigid registration (RR) and elastic registration (ER) systems in diagnosing all cancers and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) in software-based targeted prostate biopsies (TPBs) by performing matching analysis.
Materials And Methods: The data of 2061 patients from six centers where software-based TPB is performed were used. All cancer and csPC detection rates of the RR and ER systems were compared following Mahalanobis distance matching with the propensity score caliper method. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify factors predicting clinically insignificant prostate cancer (ciPC) and csPC diagnoses. Additionally, the International Society of Urological Pathology Grade Group (ISUP GG) upgrade rates of RR and ER systems were compared between biopsy and radical prostatectomy pathologies.
Results: The matched sample included 157 RR and 157 ER patients. No statistically significant difference was found between ER and RR in terms of csPC detection rate (28.0% vs. 22.3% respectively, p = 0.242). The detection rate of all cancers by ER compared to RR was found to be significantly higher (54.8% vs. 35.7% respectively p < 0.001,). No statistically significant difference was found between the ER and RR groups regarding pathological upgrade (39.7% vs. 24.2% respectively, p = 0.130). In the logistic regression analysis performed to determine the factors predicting ciPC, decreased prostate volume and ER system use were found to be independent predictive factors.
Conclusion: While the detection rate of csPC was similar for the RR and ER systems, the detection rate of all cancers and ciPC was significantly higher with the ER systems.

Rwanda Biomedical Center, Kigali.
Background: On September 27, 2024, Rwanda reported an outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD), after a cluster of cases of viral hemorrhagic fever was detected at two urban hospitals.
Methods: We report key aspects of the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of MVD during this outbreak, as well as the overall response to the outbreak. We performed a retrospective epidemiologic and clinical analysis of data compiled across all pillars of the outbreak response and a case-series analysis to characterize clinical features, disease progression, and outcomes among patients who received supportive care and investigational therapeutic agents.
The influence of lighting environment in extra-long tunnels and its psychological impact on young drivers: evidence from virtual driving simulations.

Purpose: The monotonous lighting environment in extra-long tunnels often induces mind-wandering in drivers. To address this issue, this study explores effective strategies to optimize tunnel lighting environments by configuring various background colors and special lighting zones to enhance the alertness of young drivers and ensure driving safety.
Methods: A virtual driving simulator was utilized to carry out the experiment.

Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of dengue incidence and lethality rates and the proportions of its serotypes, in the different macro-regions of Brazil, between 2001 and 2022. In particular, the immediate and gradual effects of these indicators were verified in the periods before and after the publication of the National Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Dengue Epidemics.
Methods: This was an interrupted time series analysis.

Continuous monitoring of cardiovascular vital signs can reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, yet cannot be implemented by current technologies because of device bulkiness and rigidity. Here, we report self-adhesive and skin-conformal ultrasonic transducer arrays that enable wearable monitoring of multiple hemodynamic parameters without interfering with daily activities. A skin-adaptive focused ultrasound method with rational array design is proposed to implement measurement under wide ranges of skin curvatures and depths with improved sensing performances.

Background: The potential for racial disparity using urine drug screening (UDS) in patients with seizures is sparsely reported. This study aims to determine racial and ethnic disparities when ordering UDS in patients with suspected seizures in the emergency department (ED).
Methods: In this retrospective study, we identified patients over the age of 18 with suspected seizures who presented to the ED at the University of Kansas Medical Center between October 2017 and October 2020.
