When you add automation, your medical coding not only improves your margins but also plays a key role in improving patient care.

“This study truly changes the paradigm of infections and suggests we need to work smarter, not harder, to prevent infections,” said urologist Scott Lundy, MD, PhD.

"The fact that we are able to swab and look at these proteins means that we might be able to identify women at risk early on,” says Maria Florian-Rodriguez, MD.

“To our knowledge, these results are the first to suggest an association between second-generation [antiandrogens] and cognitive and functional toxic effects based on data from prospective [randomized controlled trials],” the investigators wrote.

UroMonitor was developed in response to conventional urodynamics, which have several limitations.

"The high reproducibility of reader results across all regions is clinically valuable, with the potential to influence patient management prior to surgery for patients with newly diagnosed disease," says Phillip H. Kuo, MD, PhD.

A response was observed in nearly two-thirds of cisplatin-ineligible patients with advanced urothelial cancer treated with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in the first-line setting.

"Personalized dosing allowed one-third of the men in this study to have treatment breaks while still achieving the same progression-free and overall survival outcomes they would have if they received continuous treatment," says Andrew Nguyen, MBBS, FRACP, AANMS.

Researchers still urge caution when considering testosterone therapy.

The new space includes a clinical laboratory for IsoPSA testing, labs for research and development, offices, and manufacturing spaces for production and distribution of in vitro diagnostic kits.

Overall staffing levels were up “marginally,” suggesting some stabilization and return to levels from before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from the American Medical Group Association.

Investigators assessed integration of mGPS for risk stratification based on data from the phase 3 IMmotion151 study and the phase 2 IMmotion150 study.

Recent advances in technology make it possible to access and harness the vast amounts of clinical data EHRs have produced.

"About 29% of our high-risk patients tested AI biomarker negative, and they could thus be spared the long-term [adverse] effects of ADT for 2 to 3 years," says Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, MSc.

"The integration of APPs in urologic practice could play a critical role in addressing the current urologist shortages, [issues with] access, and delivery of urological care across United States," says Omer Raheem, MD, MSc, MCh Urol, MCRSI.

The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network provides insight into the ongoing cisplatin shortage.

“Our results support the notion that mpMRI is an inadequate screening tool for locally advanced [prostate cancer] and should not be used as the sole means of presurgical [prostate cancer] staging," wrote the authors.

The AI model was accurate and effective in an independent test set, according to the study authors.

The findings of harassment and inappropriate behavior come at a time when there is widespread agreement among health care leaders about the need for a more diverse physician workforce.

PFD Week is an inclusive meeting that offers access to internationally recognized leaders in the field and the opportunity to network with the most respected professionals in Urogynecology.
