“…Among adults, the recommended daily intake (RDI) of iodine is 150 microgram/day, which is considered to be the appropriate amount to allow for normal T4 production without stressing the thyroid [ 112 ]. Several studies have reported of low intake of iodine and iodine deficiency [ 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 ]. On the other hand, Iceland has been known for its population’s good iodine status, which is possibly due to their high intake of lean fish and here the most commonly consumed fish is haddock and cod [ 115 , 119 ].…”

Non-communicable diseases (NSDs) are responsible for two-thirds of all deaths globally, whereas cardiovascular disease (CVD) alone counts for nearly half of them. To reduce the impact of CVD, targeting modifiable risk factors comprised in metabolic syndrome (e.g., waist circumference, lipid profile, blood pressure, and blood glucose) is of great importance. Beneficial effects of fish consumption on CVD has been revealed over the past decades, and some studies suggest that fish consumption may have a protective role in preventing metabolic syndrome. Fish contains a variety of nutrients that may contribute to health benefits. This review examines current recommendations for fish intake as a source of various nutrients (proteins, n-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iodine, selenium, and taurine), and their effects on metabolic syndrome and the CVD risk factors. Fatty fish is recommended due to its high levels of n-3 fatty acids, however lean fish also contains nutrients that may be beneficial in the prevention of CVD.

“…1. In total, 65 studies were included in this review [20–84] (Table S1), and divided in two categories; (A) studies describing clearly how many of men referred to hospital or private practice for evaluation of haematuria aetiology had prostate cancer ( n = 42) [20–61], and (B) studies clearly describing haematuria as a presenting symptom leading to a prostate cancer diagnosis ( n = 23) [62–84]. The 42 studies describing evaluation of haematuria were included in a meta‐analysis [20–61].…”

To investigate the prevalence of prostate cancer in men attending evaluation for haematuria, as this could help healthcare providers to determine whether men with haematuria should have prostate examinations performed. MethodsThe study was performed according to a pre-specified protocol uploaded to the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42022299383). A systematic search of MEDLINE, Ovid and Google Scholar was performed in December 2021. Two independent researchers evaluated all titles, available abstracts, and full texts. We included studies on adult men (aged ≥18 years) describing haematuria and prostate cancer. ResultsWe screened 4252 titles and abstracts when available and assessed 350 studies in full text. In total, 65 studies were included and 42 was summarised in a meta-analysis. In total, 18 752 men with haematuria were included, and the pooled prevalence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of prostate cancer was 3.0% (2.0-4.1%). In men with macroscopic haematuria, the pooled prevalence (95% CI) of prostate cancer was 5.9% (2.9-9.9%; n = 265/5373). In men with microscopic haematuria, the pooled prevalence (95% CI) of prostate cancer was 1.4% (0.8-2.2%; n = 71/6642). ConclusionOur findings indicate that the prevalence of prostate cancer is considerable in men attending evaluation for haematuria. Therefore, digital rectal examination and prostate-specific antigen measurement should become a standard procedure for all men with haematuria, especially for men with macroscopic haematuria.

AimIn response to the fast‐developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, special arrangement and coordination are urgently required in the interdisciplinary care of patients across different medical specialties. This article provides recommendations on the management of different stages of localized or metastatic prostate cancer (PC) amid this pandemic.MethodsThe Hong Kong Urological Association and Hong Kong Society of Uro‐oncology formed a joint discussion panel, which consisted of six urologists and six clinical oncologists with extensive experience in the public and private sectors. Following an evidence‐based approach, the latest relevant publications were searched and reviewed, before proceeding to a structured discussion of relevant clinical issues.ResultsThe joint panel provided recommendations for PC management during the pandemic, in terms of general considerations, diagnostic procedures, different disease stages, treatment modules, patient support, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The overall goal was to minimize the risk of infection while avoiding unnecessary delays and compromises in management outcomes. Practical issues during the pandemic were addressed such as the use of invasive diagnostic procedures, robotic‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, hypofractionated radiotherapy, and prolonged androgen deprivation therapy. The recommendations were explicated in the context of Hong Kong, a highly populated international city, in relation to the latest international guidelines and evidence.ConclusionA range of recommendations on the management of PC patients during the COVID‐19 pandemic was developed. Urologists, oncologists, and physicians treating PC patients may refer to them as practical guidance.
