Unrecognized bladder perforation of a tension-free sling is a rare situation. Removal of the intravesical sling has been done by laparotomy or transurethrally. With technique presented here we want to show a minimally invasive approach that allows complete removal of the intraluminal sling material, located at the bladder neck.
To elucidate the treatment results and predictors for successful outcome in women with detrusor underactivity (DU) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) undergoing suburethral sling procedure. Medical records of women with coexistent SUI and DU treated with a suburethral sling were retrospectively reviewed and we analyzed the association between treatment outcome and baseline demographics including etiology […]
Urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) are common disorders in women that negatively impact quality of life. In addition to known health and lifestyle risk factors, genetics may play a role.
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors represent the standard treatment of erectile dysfunction after nerve-sparing prostatectomy. Avanafil is a second-generation phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor with a high selectivity for phosphodiesterase type 5 isoform.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a crucial role in anti-tumor immunity. Basic studies have found that stimulator of interferon genes (STING), activated by sensing DNA damage, plays a role in recruiting and activating TILs in tumors.
The decision to perform a partial nephrectomy (PN) relies largely upon the complexity of the renal mass and its surrounding anatomy. The presence of adherent perinephric fat (APF) can increase surgical complexity and extend operative times.
ERp57 dysfunction has been shown to contribute to tumorigenesis in multiple malignances. However, the role of ERp57 in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. Cell proliferation ability was measured by MTT and colony forming assays.
Large neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5) is abundantly expressed in various types of cancer, and it has been thought to assist cancer progression through its activity for uptake of neutral amino acids.
