Objectives: This study aimed to compare Likert scores with radical prostatectomy specimens. Methods: This study examined 443 men with validated pre-biopsy magnetic resonance imaging results and used cross-tabulation and chi-square significance testing with National Comprehensive Cancer Network risk categories. Results: The mean prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 10, and the mean age was 64 years. Comparing Likert III to Likert V and Likert IV to Likert V, both (each p=0.02) were significantly associated with higher prostate cancer risk groups, but Likert III versus Likert IV was not ( p=0.1). Within the subgroup PSA density (PSAD) 0.15 ( n=281; p=0.045 III vs. IV only and p=0.055 overall). Within the subgroup age 60 ( n=339) this significant difference was lost ( p=0.34). Further subgroup analysis within Likert III ( n=86) found that men Conclusion: With these two findings, we recommend that men Level of evidence: Level 1b.

We report 2 cases of low-grade serous carcinoma probably arising from endosalpingiosis within inguinal lymph nodes. The neoplasms occurred in 51- and 58-yr old women in the absence of tumor within the adnexa, peritoneum or elsewhere. These represent the first reported examples of low-grade serous carcinoma arising within and confined to inguinal nodes. We review the pertinent literature regarding primary nodal low-grade serous carcinoma.

A 71-year-old patient suffered a transmural (ST elevation) myocardial infarction (MI) as a result of a septic embolus from an infected tissue aortic valve replacement. Following failed fibrinolysis, his MI was successfully treated with thrombectomy using an export catheter. He suffered bleeding complications following the administration of tenectaplase and required aortic valve and root replacement due to ongoing systemic embolisation.
