Advancements in Prostate Cancer Imaging: Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment

The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for prostate cancer have been completely transformed by the developments in imaging technology. The development of imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), is examined in this overview, with an emphasis on the diagnostic value of each and the consequences for treatment choices. These methods help with risk assessment and biopsy guiding by providing improved sensitivity and specificity in the detection and characterization of prostate lesions. Focal treatment and image-guided radiation therapy are two examples of imaging-guided therapies that take advantage of accurate lesion location to maximise therapeutic methods and minimise adverse effects. Furthermore, even at lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, the incorporation of new molecular imaging tracers—in particular, PSMA ligands—has revolutionised staging accuracy and treatment response evaluation. Notwithstanding these developments, standardisation, affordability, and accessibility issues still exist, impeding wider use. It is important to tackle these obstacles in order to guarantee fair and consistent imaging procedures. Prospective avenues for advancement include the utilisation of cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance diagnostic precision and customise treatment plans. This thorough analysis highlights the revolutionary effects of cutting-edge imaging modalities on the treatment of prostate cancer and highlights the necessity of teamwork in order to overcome obstacles and improve patient care pathways

Interface structure and band alignment of CZTS/CdS heterojunction: An experimental and first-principles DFT investigation

We report a phase-pure kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films, synthesized using radio frequency (RF) sputtering followed by low-temperature H2S annealing and confirmed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy and XPS measurements. Subsequently, the band offsets at the interface of the CZTS/CdS heterojunction were systematically investigated by combining experiments and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which provide atomic-level insights into the nature of atomic ordering and stability of the CZTS/CdS interface. A staggered type II band alignment between the valence and conduction bands at the CZTS/CdS interface was determined from Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) measurements and the DFT calculations. The conduction and valence band offsets were estimated at 0.10 and 1.21 eV, respectively, from CV measurements and 0.28 and 1.15 from DFT prediction. Based on the small conduction band offset and the predicted higher positions of the VBmax and CBmin for CZTS than CdS, it is suggested photogenerated charge carriers will be efficient separated across the interface, where electrons will flow from CZTS to the CdS and and vice versa for photo-generated valence holes. Our results help to explain the separation of photo-excited charge carriers across the CZTS/CdS interface and it should open new avenues for developing more efficient CZTS-based solar cells

Advancements in Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Prostate Cancer

Robotic-assisted surgery has significantly improved the surgical therapy of prostate cancer, the second most frequent malignancy in men. The development and state of robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer are examined in this review. Since the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical System in 2000, robotic platforms have developed, improving surgical precision and extending the range of available treatments. The use of robotic devices, including the da Vinci Si and Xi, has enhanced surgical visualisation and crucial structural identification. Alternative platforms, like the Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System, also offer greater versatility and reach. The robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has emerged as the gold standard in surgical technique. Particularly for erectile function and urine continence, postoperative outcomes have been enhanced by nerve-sparing procedures used in RALP. For particular patient profiles, focal therapy and salvage prostatectomy offer specialised therapeutic choices. The benefits of robotic surgery, such as fewer complications, better cancer management, and higher patient quality of life, are repeatedly shown by clinical outcomes. Future possibilities are bright for the application of artificial intelligence, tele-mentoring systems, personalised medicine, and virtual reality in surgical planning and training. Robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery is still developing, providing better patient care, and the future is looking better thanks to technology developments and teamwork

Assessing the Efficacy of Non-Invasive Imaging Modalities in the Diagnosis and Management of Kidney Stones

This review paper examines ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-ray methods for kidney stone diagnosis and management, as well as emerging technologies that may change the field. Ultrasound imaging for kidney stones is non-invasive, affordable, and widespread. It is ideal for pregnant women and those allergic to ionizing radiation. Its efficiency may be reduced in obese patients and profound kidney stones. CT scans are the best kidney stone diagnostic tool, with high sensitivity and specificity. They detail stone properties and problems. However, radiation exposure issues, especially in repeated scans, must be considered. Non-ionizing MRI provides better soft tissue contrast and helps distinguish stone composition. It is especially helpful for pediatric or pregnant patients, but availability and expense may limit its use. Due to their inability to characterize stone composition, conventional X-ray methods have been supplanted by advanced imaging modalities. Dual-energy CT for stone type discrimination, tiny ultrasound devices for point-of-care diagnostics, and artificial intelligence for stone detection and characterisation are kidney stone imaging innovations. Non-invasive imaging has transformed kidney stone diagnosis and treatment. Patient-specific characteristics and clinical context should determine imaging modality. Emerging technology may improve accuracy and efficiency. Optimizing kidney stone diagnosis and management requires evidence-based decision-making, multimodal techniques, and ongoing research
