Introduction
To reduce unnecessary prostate biopsies while using novel tests judiciously, we created a tool to predict the probability of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC) vs. low-risk prostate cancer or negative biopsy (i.e., when intervention is likely not needed) among men undergoing initial or repeat biopsy.Methods
Separate models were created for men undergoing initial and repeat biopsy, identified from our institutional biopsy database and the placebo arm of the REDUCE trial, respectively, to predict the presence of CSPC (Gleason≥7 or>33% of cores involved). Predictors considered included age, race, body mass index, family history of prostate cancer, digital rectal examination, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free-to-total PSA, presence of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia or atypical small acinar proliferation on prior biopsy, number of prior biopsies, and number of cores previously taken. Multivariable logistic regression models that minimized the Akaike Information Criterion and maximized out-of-sample area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) were selected.Results
Of 7,963 biopsies (initial = 2,042; repeat = 5,921), 1,138 had CSPC (initial = 870 [42.6%]; repeat = 268 [4.5%]). Age, race, body mass index, family history, digital rectal examination, and PSA were included in the initial biopsy model (out-of-sample AUC = 0.74). Age, prostate volume, PSA, free-to-total PSA, prior high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and number of prior biopsies were included in the repeat biopsy model (out-of-sample AUC = 0.81).Conclusion
These prediction models may help guide clinicians in avoiding unnecessary initial and repeat biopsies in men unlikely to harbor CSPC. This tool may also allow for the more judicious use of novel tests only in patients in need of further risk stratification before deciding whether to biopsy. 相似文献82.

The foramen ovale is a slit-like anatomical structure located in the interatrial wall of the fetal heart that enables right-to-left shunting during fetal development. Although this hole generally closes completely shortly after birth due to shifting pressures in the atrial chambers, it remains open, or 'patent', in about 25% of cases representing a potential substrate for right-to-left shunting during adult life. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is usually haemodynamically insignificant, even when large, but is the most common cause of right-to-left shunt. Large-diameter PFOs may act as a pathway for passage of thrombus, air, fat, vegetation or vasoactive substances from the venous to the arterial circulation, potentially causing paradoxical emboli and stroke, inappropriate decompression sickness in divers, platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome and aural migraine. Over the past two decades, the association between PFO and the occurrence of migraine and cryptogenic stroke, particularly in younger adults, has been subject to considerable controversy and debate. Currently, semi-invasive contrast-transoesophageal echocardiography is accepted as the gold standard to detect right-to-left shunt across a PFO, but other imaging modalities utilising contrast such as second-harmonic transthoracic echocardiogram, transcranial Doppler sonography, CT and cardiac MRI have been shown to have similar sensitivity and specificity in detecting a PFO when compared with transoesophageal echocardiography. In this review the authors discuss embryological origins, diagnostic measures and evidence-based treatment options for the prevention of PFO-related paradoxical embolism, with emphasis on cryptogenic stroke and migraine. 相似文献

The direct thrombin inhibitor, ximelagatran, and its active form, melagatran (X/M), have been compared against conventional anticoagulant therapy (CAT) in many clinical settings. Their risk-benefit profile drove large debate until withdrawal by the manufacturer. A systematic review of all published randomized trials has been performed and a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trial (RCT) of X/M versus CAT. Major medical databases were searched for RCTs. Major adverse events (MAE: all cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal thromboembolic stroke, pulmonary embolism), major bleeds (MB), minor bleeds and the rate of hepatotoxicity (HT) were compared. In terms of efficacy, X/M was at least as effective as, or even superior to, CAT. In terms of safety, the overall risk of MAE, MB, minor bleeds and HT was not significantly different for X/M compared with CAT. According to individual clinical settings, X/M was associated with a lower risk of MB but a prohibitive higher risk of HT in those clinical settings requiring prolonged treatment. 相似文献

We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with increasing shortness of breath due to massive pericardial effusion. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) identified typical findings for pericarditis. Pericardectomy was needed due to suspicion of pericardial abscess formation. Histological examination of the resected tissue revealed an undifferentiated primary pericardial synovial sarcoma. The present case illustrates that pericardial tumours could be an important differential diagnosis to pericarditis, even if typical findings of pericarditis were present in CMRI. 相似文献
