This research project results from the interest in continuing the collaboration with the previous LL-HURS-ONC001 clinical validation study, which gives cause to the present study. LL-HURS-ONC001 was carried out with the participation of HURS' Principal Investigator and the team of experts in prostate cancer, as well as with the participation of the Sponsor's scientific and development team, Life Length SL, led by Dr. Najarro. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of the PROSTAV test in cutting down on unnecessary biopsies in prostate cancer screening/early diagnosis. PROSTAV is a minimally invasive test, easy to implement as biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis. The efficacy of the PROSTAV test is clinically validated by the results obtained in a previous study, LL-HURS-ONC001. The purpose of this study is to advance in the development of new biomarkers in areas where there is a clinical need and where the telomeric profile influences medical decisions within the patient's clinical context. The association level between each individual's telomere biology and the results of the prostate biopsy will be confirmed. Data will be collected to subsequently delve deeper into and accurately establish the effect of this measure in prostate cancer patient management to substantiate its implementation in standard care.

The goal of this study is to identify brain centers specifically associated with "initiation of voiding" in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Currently there is no study that has evaluated brain centers involved in initiation of voiding in patients with neurogenic voiding dysfunction. Patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to etiologies such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Cerebrovascular accidents will be recruited in this study. Patients will be categorized into 2 groups, those who have trouble emptying their bladder and those who urinate appropriately. Our existing and unique functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)/ urodynamics (UDS) platform is an ideal platform to identify brain regions involved in bladder emptying disorders as seen in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and will be used for this study. After characterizing brain regions involved in bladder emptying, the investigator propose to use noninvasive transcutaneous magnetic stimulation in a subset of patients with voiding dysfunction in aim 3.
