13. Rates of False-Negative Screening in Prostate Specific Antigen Secondary to 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Usage: A Quality-Improvement Initiative
ABSTRACT Purpose Patients often take 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, 5-ARIs can decrease prostate specific antigen (PSA) by approximately half and therefore may lead to false negative PSA tests. We investigated false-screening rates in men on 5-ARIs undergoing PSA testing and whether orderi

14. Musculoskeletal effects of obesity and bariatric surgery – a narrative review
Abstract Obesity affects several areas of the human body, leading to increased morbidity and mortality and the likelihood of other diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders. These conditions predispose to bone fractures and sarcopenic obesity, defined by the presence of an obesity-associated decrease in

15. A Novel In Silico Monte Carlo Approach to Optimize a PSD Estimation Problem. Generation of Data Fusion Experiment Rules
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the performance of combining information from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs with Static Light Scattering (SLS) measurements for retrieving the so-called Particle Size Distribution (PSD) in terms of experimental features. The corresponding data fusion is implemented using a novel Monte Carlo-based method consist

16. What do Cochrane systematic reviews say about congenital vascular anomalies and hemangiomas? A narrative review
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Congenital vascular anomalies and hemangiomas (CVAH) such as infantile hemangiomas, port-wine stains and brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) impair patients’ lives and may require treatment if complications occur. However, a great variety of treatments for those conditions exist and the best interventions remain under discussion.

17. Predicting latent classes of drug-related problems among adolescents: secondary analysis of a cluster randomized controlled trial
Objective: To detect latent patterns of drug-related problems and their predictors among adolescents. Methods: A three-wave randomized controlled trial was conducted among 6,391 7th and 8th graders (51.02% girls) at 72 public schools in six Brazilian cities to evaluate the #Tamojunto school-based drug prevention program. Patterns of drug use and behavior p

19. Comparison of Clinical Examination and Various Imaging Modalities in the Diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer
Abstract Introduction Squamous cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (HNSCC) is the most common tumor entity of malignant processes in the head and neck area. Due to the metastasizing behavior of these tumors, the staging is indispensable for the treatment planning and requires imaging techniques, which are sensitive, specific, and as far as possible cost-eff

20. Is there a Role for Antenatal Corticosteroids in Term Infants before Elective Cesarean Section?
Abstract Objective Cesarean section (CS) delivery, especially without previous labor, is associated with worse neonatal respiratory outcomes. Some studies comparing neonatal outcomes between term infants exposed and not exposed to antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) before elective CS revealed that ACS appears to decrease the risk of respiratory distress syndr

21. Mathematical Analysis and Improvement of the Maximum Spatial Eigenfilter for Direction of Arrival Estimation
Abstract Maximum spatial eigenfiltering improves the accuracy of maximum likelihood direction-of-arrival estimators for closely-spaced signal sources but may interchangeably attenuate widely-spaced signal sources, producing a severe performance degradation. Although this behavior has been observed experimentally, it still lacks a mathematical explanation. In

23. Associação de Injúria Miocárdica e Mortalidade em Pacientes Hospitalizados com COVID-19
Abstract Cardiac arrhythmias and requirement for permanent pacemaker (PPM) post open-heart surgery are some of the complications that can contribute to significant morbidities postoperatively and delay in normal recovery if not treated promptly. The reported rate of a PPM following isolated, elective coronary artery bypass grafting is < 1%, while following a
