The aim of the study was to identify factors that influence urology physicians for choosing subspecialty and to know the most competitive urology subspecialty among residents. Methodology: An online questionnaire was sent to all Saudi Urology residents, registrars, and fellows all over Saudi Arabia, during February 2019–June 2019. The survey included demographic data, level and location of training, a subspecialty of interest, as well as 15 influencing factors that could affect physicians&#39; choice in the form of Likert scale, ranging from strongly disagree = 0 to strongly agree = 4. Results: Of the 193 urology Saudi physicians, 85 replied (44.1%). Their mean age was 29 + 3.2 years. The majority of them were male (98.8%). There were 66 (77.6%) residents, 12 (14.1%) were fellows, and 7 (8.2%) were registrars. Four factors were found to be significantly different across positions, i.e., personal interest in the subspecialty, patient&#39;s prognosis, potential to join a private hospital, and family/friend advice. Among residents, the highest score means of the impact factors were the patient&#39;s prognosis, potential to join a private hospital and family/friend advice. The most prominent factors that influence urology physicians to select their subspecialty were personal interest in the specialty (88.2%), followed by the patient prognosis and lifestyle (84.7%, 78.8%). About 28.2% of the participants have a desire of endourology, followed by infertility and pediatric urology (23.5% and 20%, respectively). Conclusion: The most influencing factors among urology physicians for choosing their subspecialty are the patient&#39;s prognosis and personal interest. Female medical graduates should be encouraged to join a urology residency.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="116460214"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="116460214"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460214; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460214]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460214]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460214; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='116460214']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 116460214, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=116460214]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":116460214,"title":"Factors influencing urology physicians in Saudi Arabia for choosing their subspecialty program","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Aim: The aim of the study was to identify factors that influence urology physicians for choosing subspecialty and to know the most competitive urology subspecialty among residents.

The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/target fusion–guided biopsy in comparison with systematic biopsy in our low prevalence prostate cancer population, in terms of validity measure, case detection rate, and detection of clinically significant cancer. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. All consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria (all men with persistent high prostate-specific antigen levels &gt;4 ng/ml and/or subnormal finding in direct rectal examination, with suspicious regions identified on prebiopsy MRI) were subjected to transrectal MRI/ultrasound fusion–guided biopsy. Results A total of 165 cases met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. The cancer detection rate (CDR) of target biopsy was significantly higher than that of standard biopsy (27.9% vs 14%, respectively), and 25 cases (52%) were missed by standard strategy and correctly classified by multiparametric MRI with targeted biopsy (MRI-TB). On the other hand, only 2 cases (4.3%) were misclassified by MRI-TB, and one of them was clinically significant. There was an exact agreement between the 2 strategies in 15 (31%) cases. Targeted biopsy diagnosed 41.5% more high-risk cancers vs systematic biopsy (41.6% vs 6.2%, P &lt; .001). The difference between sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of MRI-TG varies between 80% and 98%. Conclusion The CDR of prostate cancer in general and clinically significant cancer, in specific, is significantly higher with MRI-TG modality than with systematic modality. Yet, MRI-TG biopsy still misses some men with clinically significant prostate cancer. Hence, the addition of a 12-core biopsy is required to evade missing cases of clinically significant and insignificant cancer.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="116460213"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="116460213"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460213; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460213]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460213]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460213; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='116460213']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 116460213, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=116460213]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":116460213,"title":"Effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging–targeted biopsy for detection of prostate cancer in comparison with systematic biopsy in our countries with low prevalence of prostate cancer: our first experience after 3 years","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Background Some men are subjected to multiple repeated biopsies because of ongoing suspicion of prostate cancer, which might subject them to complications.

Hence, the addition of a 12-core biopsy is required to evade missing cases of clinically significant and insignificant cancer.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116460213/Effectiveness_of_magnetic_resonance_imaging_targeted_biopsy_for_detection_of_prostate_cancer_in_comparison_with_systematic_biopsy_in_our_countries_with_low_prevalence_of_prostate_cancer_our_first_experience_after_3_years","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-03-20T02:38:34.190-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":37937429,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Effectiveness_of_magnetic_resonance_imaging_targeted_biopsy_for_detection_of_prostate_cancer_in_comparison_with_systematic_biopsy_in_our_countries_with_low_prevalence_of_prostate_cancer_our_first_experience_after_3_years","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":"Background Some men are subjected to multiple repeated biopsies because of ongoing suspicion of prostate cancer, which might subject them to complications. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/target fusion–guided biopsy in comparison with systematic biopsy in our low prevalence prostate cancer population, in terms of validity measure, case detection rate, and detection of clinically significant cancer. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. All consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria (all men with persistent high prostate-specific antigen levels \u0026gt;4 ng/ml and/or subnormal finding in direct rectal examination, with suspicious regions identified on prebiopsy MRI) were subjected to transrectal MRI/ultrasound fusion–guided biopsy. Results A total of 165 cases met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. The cancer detection rate (CDR) of target biopsy was significantly higher than that of standard biopsy (27.9% vs 14%, respectively), and 25 cases (52%) were missed by standard strategy and correctly classified by multiparametric MRI with targeted biopsy (MRI-TB). On the other hand, only 2 cases (4.3%) were misclassified by MRI-TB, and one of them was clinically significant. There was an exact agreement between the 2 strategies in 15 (31%) cases. Targeted biopsy diagnosed 41.5% more high-risk cancers vs systematic biopsy (41.6% vs 6.2%, P \u0026lt; .001). The difference between sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of MRI-TG varies between 80% and 98%. Conclusion The CDR of prostate cancer in general and clinically significant cancer, in specific, is significantly higher with MRI-TG modality than with systematic modality. Yet, MRI-TG biopsy still misses some men with clinically significant prostate cancer. Hence, the addition of a 12-core biopsy is required to evade missing cases of clinically significant and insignificant cancer.","owner":{"id":37937429,"first_name":"Danny","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Rabah","page_name":"DannyRabah","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-11-09T03:24:58.161-08:00","display_name":"Danny Rabah","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/DannyRabah"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":640,"name":"Radiology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiology"},{"id":6021,"name":"Cancer","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cancer"},{"id":6200,"name":"Magnetic Resonance Imaging","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Magnetic_Resonance_Imaging"},{"id":12980,"name":"Prostate Cancer","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prostate_Cancer"},{"id":26327,"name":"Medicine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Medicine"},{"id":37826,"name":"Biopsy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biopsy"},{"id":147064,"name":"Prostate Biopsy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prostate_Biopsy"},{"id":161553,"name":"Prostate","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prostate"}],"urls":[{"id":40459881,"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2287888221000040?httpAccept=text/xml"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="116460212"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/116460212/Does_shared_decision_making_increase_prostate_screening_uptake_in_countries_with_a_low_prevalence_of_prostate_cancer"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Does shared decision making increase prostate screening uptake in countries with a low prevalence of prostate cancer?" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112584862/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/116460212/Does_shared_decision_making_increase_prostate_screening_uptake_in_countries_with_a_low_prevalence_of_prostate_cancer">Does shared decision making increase prostate screening uptake in countries with a low prevalence of prostate cancer?</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>African Health Sciences</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Background: Men over 50 should discuss the benefits and harms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Background: Men over 50 should discuss the benefits and harms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing with their doctors.

The World Health Organization emphasizes the need for improved data and political commitment to enhance cancer prevention and management strategies in the region.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal"},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116460211/Rising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_now_is_the_time_for_action","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-03-20T02:38:33.841-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":37937429,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":112584860,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112584860/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"10203397202606638640-eng.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112584860/download_file?st=MTczNDU1ODkxNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Rising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112584860/10203397202606638640-eng-libre.pdf?1710927608=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf\u0026Expires=1734562515\u0026Signature=ZnzB4wrrSS2xwFEDVn1c0SAwPscH94HiALQ4RsgWvqiWw4~aq7bO-ci-gXPK6kvrb3RgnyFmha-grDQMyDd8p-0gX8Pip~paV1xEWWevxe2QUgX-Tzpvw4ihwGip9Z4SZEW1HfdrW1SUXqvEJPMww1DXrPlNmMfWa1pdt7189CkOzeBJBVtq1lwzq7P-TN30eYMkL5cXb~RmlCz35KzjIlXQJDcttXP7-KasgR1X2BLz-h121JjfZ5oXUD~-hN0AFmIBxPvGB548WunNqMYHx1BpiDwOt~SUr0sVYcU1NqyPlwFtyFQIWtnBzLKrQ3QlkPSxZFfZe1AgwO3iqmExXQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Rising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_now_is_the_time_for_action","translated_slug":"","page_count":3,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":null,"owner":{"id":37937429,"first_name":"Danny","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Rabah","page_name":"DannyRabah","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-11-09T03:24:58.161-08:00","display_name":"Danny Rabah","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/DannyRabah"},"attachments":[{"id":112584860,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112584860/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"10203397202606638640-eng.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112584860/download_file?st=MTczNDU1ODkxNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Rising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112584860/10203397202606638640-eng-libre.pdf?1710927608=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf\u0026Expires=1734562515\u0026Signature=ZnzB4wrrSS2xwFEDVn1c0SAwPscH94HiALQ4RsgWvqiWw4~aq7bO-ci-gXPK6kvrb3RgnyFmha-grDQMyDd8p-0gX8Pip~paV1xEWWevxe2QUgX-Tzpvw4ihwGip9Z4SZEW1HfdrW1SUXqvEJPMww1DXrPlNmMfWa1pdt7189CkOzeBJBVtq1lwzq7P-TN30eYMkL5cXb~RmlCz35KzjIlXQJDcttXP7-KasgR1X2BLz-h121JjfZ5oXUD~-hN0AFmIBxPvGB548WunNqMYHx1BpiDwOt~SUr0sVYcU1NqyPlwFtyFQIWtnBzLKrQ3QlkPSxZFfZe1AgwO3iqmExXQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":112584861,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112584861/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"10203397202606638640-eng.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112584861/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Rising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112584861/10203397202606638640-eng-libre.pdf?1710927610=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRising_cancer_rates_in_the_Arab_World_no.pdf\u0026Expires=1734562515\u0026Signature=GtJaRRcgtEliFHmS9O~Y4ROPaYdTbP42iVZaEVWuI9qQ~QuMBL0TcHG35ZivBc2tOLcmowZ2uFFYgClPW9-6KaKlxdAdQJwWPjXYYOjvH9NdvubLkTR56JGXOsQQzNaZEtA7Z7ZS2Yd9TrBYUfslIWZZtq-b7Gr0ThGiM2h-Vk26Tl64wr6l9y37UAflZov-J7RHlBupIsiVqa8rX1UyDKzsB-vbRW-aJGvKtORYq9j7KxkAlhszUvGDL5boa6FEDqfOlshO6B2YgpdJycCldAxBAhDRA47kYmmeXgqPrlrTjBplnRvk3GMcpIPKiXA-4JJDM2RXUae1bBcX9-v-IQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":6021,"name":"Cancer","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cancer"},{"id":26327,"name":"Medicine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Medicine"},{"id":901526,"name":"Action (Physics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Action_Physics_"}],"urls":[{"id":40459879,"url":"https://applications.emro.who.int/emhj/v26/06/10203397202606638640-eng.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This study aimed to assess the vitamin D status and investigate the factors affecting vitamin D distribution among Saudi males. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the King Saud University Medical City from December 2015 to August 2016. Saudi males attending the outpatient primary health care clinics were invited to participate in the study. Data were collected on the current and past health status along with biochemical investigations for total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), blood sugar, and cholesterol. Results: Majority of the participants (76.1%) had vitamin D deficiency. Blood sugar level, age, and cholesterol level were the most significant factors associated with vitamin D status. The highest percentage of deficiency was observed in the youngest age group (30-40 years). With increasing age, the percentage of deficiency decreased significantly. Those with normal blood sugar and cholesterol level had higher serum vitamin D levels compared to those with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is still endemic in Saudi Arabia, particularly among younger males and those with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.

Results showed an 82% success rate for escalating energy versus 89.6% for constant energy, with no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.28).

We were able to get distinct differences in the spectral features of normal and malignant tissues in terms of the ratios of concentrations of biomolecules like tryptophan, col lagen and NADH.

The incidence of the disease has been increasing in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations. Large databases focused on genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer have been accumulated from population studies of different ancestries, including Europeans and African-Americans. MENA populations, however, have been only rarely studied. Genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer differs significantly across ethnicities, e.g., the allele frequencies of the candidate prostate cancer susceptibility genes such as CYP3A4 and SRD5A2 differ substantially by ethnicity. It would be of interest to identify the common alleles associated with prostate cancer risk in MENA population. Material and Methods: With Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in which 534,781 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in a Tunisian cohort of 85 cases with prostate cancer and 131 age-matched controls. Then we extended the study to evaluate promising associations of 11 SNPs, identified by GWAS, in a cohort of individuals of Arab ancestry living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia (155 cases and 182 controls) using TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays.Results: We identified 3 consecutive regions significantly associated with prostate cancer risk on chromosome 9, 17 and 22, including 18 SNPs (P = 8.52 × 10 − 5 to P = 2.18 × 10 − 6) in the Tunisian population. 11 out of these 18 SNPs are not associated with prostate cancer risk in the population living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Conclusions: We confirmed previous reports of common loci associated with prostate cancer at 17q11 and 17q21 containing STAT5A and STAT3 in the Caucasian population. Moreover, we found that 2 new consecutive regions associated with prostate cancer contain candidate susceptibility genes: SMARCA2, GNAQ, SEPT9, MYO18B and SUN2.

Methodology: An online questionnaire was sent to all Saudi Urology residents, registrars, and fellows all over Saudi Arabia, during February 2019–June 2019. The survey included demographic data, level and location of training, a subspecialty of interest, as well as 15 influencing factors that could affect physicians&#39; choice in the form of Likert scale, ranging from strongly disagree = 0 to strongly agree = 4. Results: Of the 193 urology Saudi physicians, 85 replied (44.1%). Their mean age was 29 + 3.2 years. The majority of them were male (98.8%). There were 66 (77.6%) residents, 12 (14.1%) were fellows, and 7 (8.2%) were registrars. Four factors were found to be significantly different across positions, i.e., personal interest in the subspecialty, patient&#39;s prognosis, potential to join a private hospital, and family/friend advice. Among residents, the highest score means of the impact factors were the patient&#39;s prognosis, potential to join a private hospital and family/friend advice. The most prominent factors that influence urology physicians to select their subspecialty were personal interest in the specialty (88.2%), followed by the patient prognosis and lifestyle (84.7%, 78.8%). About 28.2% of the participants have a desire of endourology, followed by infertility and pediatric urology (23.5% and 20%, respectively). Conclusion: The most influencing factors among urology physicians for choosing their subspecialty are the patient&#39;s prognosis and personal interest.

The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/target fusion–guided biopsy in comparison with systematic biopsy in our low prevalence prostate cancer population, in terms of validity measure, case detection rate, and detection of clinically significant cancer. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. All consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria (all men with persistent high prostate-specific antigen levels &gt;4 ng/ml and/or subnormal finding in direct rectal examination, with suspicious regions identified on prebiopsy MRI) were subjected to transrectal MRI/ultrasound fusion–guided biopsy. Results A total of 165 cases met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. The cancer detection rate (CDR) of target biopsy was significantly higher than that of standard biopsy (27.9% vs 14%, respectively), and 25 cases (52%) were missed by standard strategy and correctly classified by multiparametric MRI with targeted biopsy (MRI-TB). On the other hand, only 2 cases (4.3%) were misclassified by MRI-TB, and one of them was clinically significant. There was an exact agreement between the 2 strategies in 15 (31%) cases. Targeted biopsy diagnosed 41.5% more high-risk cancers vs systematic biopsy (41.6% vs 6.2%, P &lt; .001). The difference between sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of MRI-TG varies between 80% and 98%. Conclusion The CDR of prostate cancer in general and clinically significant cancer, in specific, is significantly higher with MRI-TG modality than with systematic modality. Yet, MRI-TG biopsy still misses some men with clinically significant prostate cancer. Hence, the addition of a 12-core biopsy is required to evade missing cases of clinically significant and insignificant cancer.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="116460213"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="116460213"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460213; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460213]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460213]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460213; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='116460213']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 116460213, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=116460213]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":116460213,"title":"Effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging–targeted biopsy for detection of prostate cancer in comparison with systematic biopsy in our countries with low prevalence of prostate cancer: our first experience after 3 years","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Background Some men are subjected to multiple repeated biopsies because of ongoing suspicion of prostate cancer, which might subject them to complications.

Saudi males attending the outpatient primary health care clinics were invited to participate in the study. Data were collected on the current and past health status along with biochemical investigations for total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), blood sugar, and cholesterol. Results: Majority of the participants (76.1%) had vitamin D deficiency. Blood sugar level, age, and cholesterol level were the most significant factors associated with vitamin D status. The highest percentage of deficiency was observed in the youngest age group (30-40 years). With increasing age, the percentage of deficiency decreased significantly. Those with normal blood sugar and cholesterol level had higher serum vitamin D levels compared to those with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is still endemic in Saudi Arabia, particularly among younger males and those with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.

Results showed an 82% success rate for escalating energy versus 89.6% for constant energy, with no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.28).

Data from an example simulation of a single oil drop in water interacting with a generated standing acoustic wave are presented and, where appropriate, compared with empirical theories and analogous calculations for a solid object.","owner":{"id":37937429,"first_name":"Danny","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Rabah","page_name":"DannyRabah","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-11-09T03:24:58.161-08:00","display_name":"Danny Rabah","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/DannyRabah"},"attachments":[{"id":112584893,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112584893/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"lapl.20121005120240320-1-p0moy6.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112584893/download_file?st=MTczNDU1ODkxNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczNDU1ODkxNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Fluorescence_spectra_of_benign_and_malig.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112584893/lapl.20121005120240320-1-p0moy6.pdf?1710927574=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DFluorescence_spectra_of_benign_and_malig.pdf\u0026Expires=1734562515\u0026Signature=Oh-6TMJibhQNnbVcucykXRmAMIsZqsraHBnga1yAkPrl8r1Swl30ZJqz8kqqlpNeVpzJF08uQykIRdyeqLjEv97RO5SqaFjxiqHdeeyA6A7gztKzv2VHxY4b64VGpQI4kKt7tVMMKaAX1Wey5gNqjYhnNPz7JBfk6DSBshOWi9xTCUH8rU7ilvJ5PsfV8lP8L7frO4lwSMJCEvjB7i5TrB2WTLXCXynlq7Pn3qcJSYidAN8s4IP1zbYZZLxi-9y5ryLdUTDkp9xg2WqBcwpkYtee190vif8BMgmKuF6WmgBJXlCh~chuzlNMuycfdKAI2zUiWwpgrjnGcbuzqdfe7A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":523,"name":"Chemistry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chemistry"},{"id":5187,"name":"Statistical Analysis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Statistical_Analysis"},{"id":7698,"name":"Fluorescence","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fluorescence"},{"id":202225,"name":"Tryptophan","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Tryptophan"},{"id":263152,"name":"Optical physics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Optical_physics"},{"id":321836,"name":"Spectrum","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Spectrum"},{"id":350926,"name":"Elastin","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Elastin"},{"id":404996,"name":"Optical fiber","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Optical_fiber"},{"id":3604520,"name":"Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nicotinamide_adenine_dinucleotide"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="116460198"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/116460198/Diagnostics"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Diagnostics" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/116460198/Diagnostics">Diagnostics</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Annals of Oncology</span><span>, 2012</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">ABSTRACT Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in many industrialized count...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">ABSTRACT Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in many industrialized countries and the second cause of cancer-related death in Europe and the United States. The incidence of the disease has been increasing in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations. Large databases focused on genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer have been accumulated from population studies of different ancestries, including Europeans and African-Americans. MENA populations, however, have been only rarely studied. Genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer differs significantly across ethnicities, e.g., the allele frequencies of the candidate prostate cancer susceptibility genes such as CYP3A4 and SRD5A2 differ substantially by ethnicity. It would be of interest to identify the common alleles associated with prostate cancer risk in MENA population. Material and Methods: With Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in which 534,781 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in a Tunisian cohort of 85 cases with prostate cancer and 131 age-matched controls. Then we extended the study to evaluate promising associations of 11 SNPs, identified by GWAS, in a cohort of individuals of Arab ancestry living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia (155 cases and 182 controls) using TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays.Results: We identified 3 consecutive regions significantly associated with prostate cancer risk on chromosome 9, 17 and 22, including 18 SNPs (P = 8.52 × 10 − 5 to P = 2.18 × 10 − 6) in the Tunisian population. 11 out of these 18 SNPs are not associated with prostate cancer risk in the population living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Conclusions: We confirmed previous reports of common loci associated with prostate cancer at 17q11 and 17q21 containing STAT5A and STAT3 in the Caucasian population. Moreover, we found that 2 new consecutive regions associated with prostate cancer contain candidate susceptibility genes: SMARCA2, GNAQ, SEPT9, MYO18B and SUN2. Additionally, our findings further proved that prostate cancer risky genetic factors are ethnic specific.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="116460198"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="116460198"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460198; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460198]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116460198]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116460198; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='116460198']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 116460198, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=116460198]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":116460198,"title":"Diagnostics","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"ABSTRACT Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in many industrialized countries and the second cause of cancer-related death in Europe and the United States.
