Dr. Rouviere notes that machine learning entails training a machine to discriminate prostate cancer on magnetic resonance (MR) images using […]
(UroToday.com) At the European Association of Urology (EAU) Virtual 2020 meeting, Dr. Nicolas Mottet, chair of the EAU Guidelines prostate cancer panel, summarized the guidelines for recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Dr. Mottet notes that there is a major difference between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse (any PSA rise following an undetectable level) and a clinically significant PSA […]
Today marks a new chapter for the European Association of Urology. For its 35th edition, the Annual EAU Congress is taking place not in a major European capital, but online. The scientific programme of the regular congress was re-arranged into a ten-day virtual congress following the cancellation of the regular congress. Thanks to innovative online congress […]
This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, phase IV study assessed the efficacy and tolerability of onabotulinumtoxinA in patients with overactive bladder. Patients were randomized 1:1 to onabotulinumtoxinA 100 U or placebo.
Nocturia is one of the most bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms and often impairs sleep quality in the elderly. Although previous studies on nocturia have indicated that the successful treatment of nocturia improves sleep quality, most used questionnaires and activity devices to analyze sleep/wake patterns.
Male infertility affects ∼7% of men, but its causes remain poorly understood. The most severe form is non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), which is, in part, caused by an arrest at meiosis. So far, only a few validated disease-associated genes have been reported.
In mammals, the acquisition of the germline from the soma provides the germline with an essential challenge, the necessity to erase and reset genomic methylation1. In the male germline, RNA-directed DNA methylation silences young active transposable elements (TEs)2-4.
we designed a retrospective, monocentric, observational study to assess the short-term side effect profile of desmopressin, a synthetic analogue of antidiuretic hormone, in 42 elderly patients affected by nocturnal polyuria (NP), a subset of nocturia (nocturnal overproduction of urine at night), which is characterised by nocturnal urine volume (NVU) exceeding 33% of the 24-h total […]
The continent catheterizeable conduit (CCC) procedure plays an important role in the treatment of children with neurogenic bladder. Laparoscopic procedures offer significant benefits; however, the potential complications should not be ignored.
Psychological morbidities play a major role in idiopathic lower urinary tract dysfunction (iLUTD). The aim of the Think Tank (TT) was to discuss the relevance of psychological morbidities in idiopathic LUTD over the life span, including overactive bladder (OAB) or dysfunctional voiding (DV) and methods of assessment.
