Background: Adiposopathy is characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, mainly visceral, which may determine adipocyte and adipose tissue-related disorder. A connection between adipose tissue secreted factors and bladder cancer (BC) cell migration has been shown in vitro. These mediators may be related to the pathogenesis of BC. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) in male patients. Methods: In this retrospective study two groups were included. Total adipose tissue (TAT) area, VAT area and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) area were measured in both groups. VAT/SAT ratio was subsequently calculated. Results: No statistically significant differences between the two groups were found in the TAT area, VAT area, SAT area and VAT/SAT ratio. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that VAT is not likely to be a biomarker for UBC risk in male patients.

Neurosurgery as a specialty has developed at a rapid pace as a result of the continual advancements in neuroimaging modalities. With more sophisticated imaging options available to the modern neurosurgeon, diagnoses become more accurate and at a faster rate, allowing for greater surgical planning and precision. Herein, the authors review the current heavily used imaging modalities within neurosurgery, weighing their strengths and weaknesses, and provide a look into new advances and imaging options within the field. Of the many imaging modalities currently available to the practicing neurosurgeon, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasonography (US) are used most heavily within the field for appropriate diagnosis of neuropathologies in question. For each, their strengths are weighed regarding appropriate capabilities in accurate diagnosis of cranial or spinal lesions. Reasoning for choosing one over the other for various pathologies is also reviewed. Current limitations of each is also assessed, providing insight for possible improvement for each. New advancements in imaging options are subsequently reviewed for best uses within neurosurgery, including the new utilization of FIESTA sequencing, glymphatic mapping, black-blood MRI, and functional MRI. The specialty of neurosurgery will continue to heavily rely on improvements within imaging options available for improved diagnosis and greater surgical outcomes for the patients treated. The synthesis of techniques provided herein may provide meaningful guidance for neurosurgeons in effectively diagnosing neurological pathologies while also helping guide future efforts in neuroimaging developments.
