Obese patients may be predisposed to adverse perioperative outcomes and it is uncertain whether robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) benefits obese patients in comparison to open radical cystectomy (ORC).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes, urinary function, quality of life (QOL), and toxicities in high- or very high-risk prostate cancer patients undergoing single-fraction high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and analyze the relationship between dosimetric parameters and toxicities.
The therapeutic options for castration resistance prostate cancer (CRPC) are still limited. Natural bioactive compounds were shown to possess pro-death properties in different tumors. We previously reported that δ-tocotrienol (δ-TT) induces apoptosis, paraptosis and autophagy in CRPC cells.
Moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy (HypoRT) is an attractive alternative to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer. However, most studies using HypoRT only included the prostate as the target volume.
Stress Urinary Incontinence carries a significant healthcare burden for women worldwide. Single incision slings are minimally invasive mesh devices designed to treat stress urinary incontinence. For prolapse repair, meshes with higher porosity and lower structural stiffness have been associated with improved outcomes.
To reappraise the definition of Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and to evaluate the prevalence and effect of GSM on quality of life in Turkish postmenopausal women. A multicenter, cross-sectional, and observational study was designed.
We aimed to evaluate how the corona virus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak influenced emergency department (ED) admissions for urolithiasis, hospitalizations and clinical management of the hospitalized patients.
Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a disorder of the penile tunica albuginea, causing penile deformity, shortening, pain, and sexual dysfunction. While studies have shown treatment efficacy for patients, research on treatment-related outcomes for sexual partners is lacking.
Many women with pelvic floor dysfunction are unable to perform pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction. We aimed to assess the ability to contract the PFM and to evaluate the association with muscle function in Brazilian women with urinary incontinence.
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of nocturia and identify factors associated with it in a community-dwelling population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in subjects aged 45 years or more and registered with a Family Doctor Program.
