  1. I would suggest that is no advantage of having a biopsy without an MRI first. It is only necessary to have a biopsy for prostate cancer if your MRI shows a positive or a suspicious result first. Why have a very invasive procedure and risk infection especially with a trans-rectal biopsy when a biopsy may not be required. I don't think trans-perineal biopsies are the norm in Thailand yet. though it's rate of sepsis post biopsy is nearly 0%, which is 40 to 70 times less than that of trans-rectal. "In a trial of population-based screening by invitation, our results showed that among men with elevated PSA levels, combined biopsy performed only in men who had positive results on MRI was noninferior to standard biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer."

  2. People still get injured and die in car accidents even though cars have airbags, they wear seatbelts and drive with care. No vaccine or pre-caution is 100% effective. The only thing in life that has a 100% guarantee is death itself.
  3. In one of the videos, there is a large truck with a passenger car alongside that may have been the cause yet there is a boat in another shown under the bridge just before the blast too. Looks like both lanes of the road are damaged too likely with a lot of unseen structural damage.
  4. If the Kerch Bridge explosion was caused by Ukraine, this may well be the acid test of Putin's resolve to pursue his nuclear threats. Bring out the iodine tablets! It may even be the straw that finally breaks his power and credibility in the Duma and bring about a regime change.
  5. Happy 70th Birthday Vladimir! The free world celebrates.... Better than birthday cake candles! Putin's pet project bridge is on fire. Explosion Rocks Russia's Prized Kerch Strait Bridge Leading To Crimea (Updated) (thedrive.com) Also MSN/Guardian..... Key bridge linking Crimea to Russia hit by huge explosion (msn.com) More confirmation.... Crimean bridge fire: Blaze erupts on only bridge linking peninsula to Russia - BBC News
  6. Ukraine War: Russia 'trying to keep nuclear debate going' Putin is succeeding in his ploy to continue his latest nuclear threat for political gain in the Kremlin and the West.
  7. Russians are fleeing their homeland in protest of Putin’s draft Russians are abandoning their families, trying to escape the war. At least 200,00 have arrived in Kazakhstan this week alone. Some Russian Corporations have a policy now of sending employees out of the country to help them escape the draft and the war. There are even Russian boat people arriving on US shores to avoid the draft.
  8. Yet, taking away the guns away from the 2017 US Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooter who killed 60 and wounded almost 900 at a country music festival, would have certainly stopped the lunatic's carnage. He would have had difficulty in duplicating the act with a knife from the 32nd floor of the resort, 450 metres away from the concert.
  9. US fuel prices are now cheaper than most other Western countries in the world. Obviously, it is a global problem. Possibly, US is cheaper because of Biden's policies.
  10. US has never tried implementing the sensible stricter gun laws of countries like Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or Norway. But because now, guns are sadly part of a political agenda, the US most likely never will.
  11. The pier is in one of the main safe all year berths in the Phuket area which attracts a lot of normal and possibly nefarious traffic. It also has an Immigration, Customs and Marine Department located at the end of the pier where a lot of international yachts check-in. Boat people eg Rohingyas have been found landing in Chalong bay. The AI system will no doubt improve safety and security.
