7 (95% CI 0.5-0-8). For detecting CsPCa in the transition/ anterior zone the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV was 45%, 66%, 83% and 25% respectively ant the AUC was 0.5 (95% CI 0.2-0.9). Accounting only the CsPCa located in the peripheral zone, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV raised up to 74%, 75%, 94%, 33%, respectively with AUC 0.75 (95% CI 0.5-0-9).

ExactVuTM provides high resolution of the prostatic peripheral zone and could represent a step forward in the detection of CsPCa as a triage tool. Further studies are needed to confirm these promising results.

Post-biopsy urosepsis is a major concern for patient morbidity and cost. Trasperineal biopsy is reported to have less complications and higher detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).

To determine the diagnostic efficacy and safety of transperineal prostate biopsy in patients with elevated prostatic specific antigen (PSA).

A prospective study included men with elevated PSA > 3 ng/ml and previous negative biopsy from January 2018 to April 2019. All patients had multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and suspicious lesions reported as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) score version 2. selleck chemicals Average twelve systematic and two targeted cores were biopsied under general anaesthesia. Patients received single dose of antibiotic prebiopsy.

100 Consecutive patients having median age 64.0 years and median PSA of 6.1ng/ml were included for mpMRI-US fusion transperineal biopsies. Cancer detection rate was 45% (targeted 38% and systematic 22%) and csPCa were detected in 75.55% (targeted 86.84% and systematic 59.09%). MRI-US fusion targeted biopsies detected 63.88% csPCa in PIRADS 5, 33.33% in PIRADS 4 and 5.88% in PIRADS 3 lesions. PSA > 10 (p = 0.012), PSA density > 0.15 (p = 0.0002), and PIRADS 5 (0.0001) were significantly associated with PCa. Factors like Age (0.0001), initial PSA (0.022) and PSA density (0.006) were significant on univariate analysis while age (0.0001) was significant on multivariate analysis. There was no case of urinary tract infection.

This paper reviews the theoretical basis and applications of common schistosomiasis risk assessment models and the Bayesian model, so as to provide insights into national schistosomiasis elimination program in China.Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health and hinders socioeconomic development. Fasciola mainly infects ruminants, such as cattle and sheep. However, there has recently been a rise in the number of human cases with fascioliasis with the improvements of diagnostic techniques. During the past decades, sporadic cases of fascioliasis were predominantly identified; however, there were outbreaks of fascioliasis in Yunnan Province, which has been paid much attention. The review summarizes the advances in the distribution of Fasciola species and the progress of researches on fascioliasis in Yunnan Province.Due to the relative shortage of health resources, rational allocation and utilization of health resources is critical to achieving the maximum economic benefits in developing countries, which requires a health economic assessment to meet the needs to balance the competitive requirements of cost reduction and effectiveness enhancement. This review describes the advances in applications of health economic assessment techniques in four major infectious diseases, including AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and schistosomiasis. Currently, there is no standard economic assessment in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and notably, the transparency of cost research is limited, which may affect the popularization of the study conclusions. Further health economic assessments of infectious diseases are required to improve the quality, standard and transparency of the economic evaluation through formulating strategies, to improve the standardization of studies, to improve the popularization of the study conclusions and to improve the applicability of the economic evaluation for policies.
To increase the awareness of malaria prevention and control among people going abroad and returners, so as to prevent the local retransmission of oversea imported malaria.

Health education interventions for malaria control were given to people going abroad and returners in communities, and the changes of malaria prevention and control knowledge and medical-seeking behaviors were observed among the target populations.

There were 367 people going abroad and oversea returners from malaria-endemic areas in Zhangjiagang City from July 2018 to December 2019, and 18 imported malaria cases were found. Following the implementation of community health education, the awareness of malaria prevention and control knowledge increased significantly from 35.09% to 93.08% among the target populations (

= 78.130,
< 0.01), and the proportions of carrying anti-malarial drugs and administration of anti-malarial drugs for emergency treatment increased from 12.14% and 11.46% to 26.79% and 26.79% (

= 8.793 and 9.834,
< 0.05), respectively. In addition, the mean duration from malaria onset to the definitive diagnosis reduced from (5.86 ± 4.45) days to (3.11 ± 1.28) days (
= 64.000,
< 0.05).

Community health education based on the precision community administration is an effective approach for malaria control in current era.
