Article Abstract
Background: Robotic systems are increasingly utilised to improve clinical outcomes in prostate interventions.
Methods: We enroled 20 patients to verify the clinical feasibility of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided robot-assisted prostate biopsy (PBx). For each patient, controlled trials of systematic 12-core PBx were initially conducted manually using a biopsy gun, followed by a 3-core cognitive fusion targeted biopsy performed by the hand-held robot.
Results: The targeting errors for robot-assisted biopsy and freehand biopsy were 3.71 ± 1.41 mm and 3.94 ± 1.49 mm, respectively. Their cancer core rates were 19.1% and 12.6%, and the average duration of each biopsy was 6.94 min and 1.62 min, respectively.
Conclusions: The robot's sampling success rate was lower than that of freehand with a biopsy gun in the clinical trial. However, robot-assisted PBx has shown improved cancer core rate, slightly enhanced surgical accuracy, and the capability to reach clinically significant tumours' 5 mm error range, all demonstrating its clinical value.

Background: Sarcomas are rare cancer with a heterogeneous group of tumors. They affect both genders across all age groups and present significant heterogeneity, with more than 70 histological subtypes. Despite tailored treatments, the high metastatic potential of sarcomas remains a major factor in poor patient survival, as metastasis is often the leading cause of death.

Background: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is increasingly being incorporated into intervention studies to acquire a more fine-grained and ecologically valid assessment of change. The added utility of including relatively burdensome EMA measures in a clinical trial hinges on several psychometric assumptions, including that these measure are (1) reliable, (2) related to but not redundant with conventional self-report measures (convergent and discriminant validity), (3) sensitive to intervention-related change, and (4) associated with a clinically relevant criterion of improvement (criterion validity) above conventional self-report measures (incremental validity).
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of conventional self-report versus EMA measures of rumination improvement.
Randomized Controlled Trial of Impact of Mobile Health Technologies on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Uptake in Mothers of Vaccine-Eligible Girls in Lagos, Nigeria (mHealth-HPVac).

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Objectives: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3 (CLN3) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. No disease-modifying treatments are currently available. Miglustat, a substrate reduction therapy, has shown preclinical efficacy in CLN3 models (conference abstract).

Background: Acute viral respiratory infections (AVRIs) rank among the most common causes of hospitalisation worldwide, imposing significant healthcare burdens and driving the development of pharmacological treatments. However, inconsistent outcome reporting across clinical trials limits evidence synthesis and its translation into clinical practice. A core outcome set (COS) for pharmacological treatments in hospitalised adults with AVRIs is essential to standardise trial outcomes and improve research comparability.
