- ESR Essentials: using the right scoring system in prostate MRI-practice recommendations by ESURPublication . Ponsiglione, Andrea; Brembilla, Giorgio; Cuocolo, Renato; Gutierrez, Patricia; Moreira, Ana Sofia; Pecoraro, Martina; Zawaideh, Jeries; Barentsz, Jelle; Giganti, Francesco; Padhani, Anwar R; Panebianco, Valeria; Puech, Philippe; Villeirs, GeertMRI has gained prominence in the diagnostic workup of prostate cancer (PCa) patients, with the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) being widely used for cancer detection. Beyond PI-RADS, other MRI-based scoring tools have emerged to address broader aspects within the PCa domain. However, the multitude of available MRI-based grading systems has led to inconsistencies in their application within clinical workflows. The Prostate Cancer Radiological Estimation of Change in Sequential Evaluation (PRECISE) assesses the likelihood of clinically significant radiological changes of PCa during active surveillance, and the Prostate Imaging for Local Recurrence Reporting (PI-RR) scoring system evaluates the risk of local recurrence after whole-gland therapies with curative intent. Underlying any system is the requirement to assess image quality using the Prostate Imaging Quality Scoring System (PI-QUAL). This article offers practicing radiologists a comprehensive overview of currently available scoring systems with clinical evidence supporting their use for managing PCa patients to enhance consistency in interpretation and facilitate effective communication with referring clinicians. KEY POINTS: Assessing image quality is essential for all prostate MRI interpretations and the PI-QUAL score represents the standardized tool for this purpose. Current urological clinical guidelines for prostate cancer diagnosis and localization recommend adhering to the PI-RADS recommendations. The PRECISE and PI-RR scoring systems can be used for assessing radiological changes of prostate cancer during active surveillance and the likelihood of local recurrence after radical treatments respectively.
- Patient-physician discordance in assessment of adherence to inhaled controller medication: a cross-sectional analysis of two cohortsPublication . Jácome, Cristina; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Almeida, Rute; Ferreira-Magalhaes, Manuel; Couto, Mariana; Araujo, Luís; Pereira, Mariana; Correia, Magna Alves; Loureiro, Cláudia Chaves; Catarata, Maria Joana; Maia Santos, Lília; Pereira, João; Ramos, Bárbara; Lopes, Cristina; Mendes, Ana; Cidrais Rodrigues, José Carlos; Oliveira, Georgeta; Aguiar, Ana Paula; Afonso, Ivete; Carvalho, Joana; Arrobas, Ana; Coutinho Costa, José; Dias, Joana; Todo Bom, Ana; Azevedo, João; Ribeiro, Carmelita; Alves, Marta; Leiria Pinto, Paula; Neuparth, Nuno; Palhinha, Ana; Gaspar Marques, João; Pinto, Nicole; Martins, Pedro; Todo Bom, Filipa; Alvarenga Santos, Maria; Gomes Costa, Alberto; Silva Neto, Armandina; Santalha, Marta; Lozoya, Carlos; Santos, Natacha; Silva, Diana; Vasconcelos, Maria João; Taborda-Barata, Luís; Carvalhal, Célia; Teixeira, Maria Fernanda; Alves, Rodrigo Rodrigues; Moreira, Ana Sofia; Sofia Pinto, Cláudia; Morais Silva, Pedro; Alves, Carlos; Câmara, Raquel; Coelho, Didina; Bordalo, Diana; Fernandes, Ricardo M; Ferreira, Rosário; Menezes, Fernando; Gomes, Ricardo; Calix, Maria José; Marques, Ana; Cardoso, João; Emiliano, Madalena; Gerardo, Rita; Nunes, Carlos; Câmara, Rita; Ferreira, José Alberto; Carvalho, Aurora; Freitas, Paulo; Correia, Ricardo; Fonseca, Joao AWe aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence and to identify predictors of patient-physician discordance.
- Public leadership challenges in a complex contextPublication . Fialho, Elisabete; Sousa, Maria José; Moreira, Ana SofiaThe objectives of this study are to identify the importance of teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic and, evaluate the future development of this working form, characterize the process, identify its benefits and challenges, and present some solutions to deal with telework. To this end, the following research questions were formulated: (1) What areas of telework had the most significant impact during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2) What is the impact of telework on productivity? (3) What are the positive and negative aspects of teleworking? (4) What solutions do leaders propose for telework to intensify in the future? The sample for this study consists of 159 participants holding managerial positions. The data analyses were completed and allowed us to study the challenges of leadership in teleworking in direct public administrations. The results indicate that productivity is maintained, although productivity has decreased in the education sector. The positive aspects found were flexibility, better time management, that communication became simpler, and greater motivation. As negative aspects, we found changes in leadership, communication, and lack of material. To minimise the negative aspects of teleworking, the leaders essentially mentioned mixed-work (face-to-face and teleworking), distribution of appropriate material, training, teleworking regulation, and productivity control.
