High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) carries a high predictive value for future diagnosis of prostate cancer. Research published in the open access journal BMC Urology has shown that 41.8% of patients whose extended core biopsy led to an initial diagnosis of HGPIN were subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections were found to be a risk factor for failed eradication therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis who are resistant to neutrophil antibacterial functions, according to the results of a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases. Infections caused by P aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis are often treated with antibiotics,...
Boston, MA — To help prevent preeclampsia and preterm birth—common complications in pregnancy that can be fatal to women and newborns—low-dose calcium supplementation (equivalent to one 500-milligram pill per day) may be as effective as the World Health Organization (WHO)’s recommended high-dose calcium supplementation (equivalent to three 500-milligram pills taken...
