To investigate the risk factors for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in children with a neurogenic bladder (NB) managed by clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Over a 5-year period, we retrospectively assessed the risk factors for recurrent UTIs in children (age 9-151 months) who had CIC.
To examine how often urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) patients progressed from Pelvic Pain Only at baseline to Widespread Pain, or vice versa, during one-year longitudinal follow-up. Men and women with UCPPS enrolled in the MAPP-I Epidemiology and Phenotyping Study completed a self-report body map to indicate their locations of pain every 2 months […]
Bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury has a significant impact on the overall health and quality of life of an individual. Clean intermittent catheterization is the gold standard for bladder management and is recommended due to having the lowest complication rate.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is associated with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The severity of LUTS is assessed by the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS). Prostate artery embolisation (PAE) is a newly available method for combating LUTS.
Percutaneous and transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS and TTNS) showed a promising effect on overactive bladder (OAB) and interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. We aimed to give a systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of these therapeutic methods as well.
For decades, cell lines have formed the foundation of in vitro cancer research due to their predictable biology, ease of use, and the ability to standardize data amongst the research community. While the work performed with these cells has led to major advances in prostate cancer (PC) treatment, there are numerous limitations in cell line […]
During the last two decades, we have witnessed a worldwide spreading of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS) in urology, particularly in the oncology field. Within the urological community, RALS represents nowadays the reference standard approach for the surgical treatment of prostate and renal tumors and robot-assisted radical cystectomy is currently gaining an increasing consensus.1
Non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with tumor thrombus showed a greater tendency for developing metastases after surgery. Early identification of patients with high risk of poor prognosis is especially important to explore adjuvant treatment of improving outcomes.
This study included 93 patients with renal masses who underwent standard partial nephrectomy or tumor enucleation. After surgery, parenchymal mass loss caused by devascularization resulted in more damage to renal function than excised parenchymal mass loss.
Prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with apalutamide frequently develop rash. We aim to characterize apalutamide-related dermatologic adverse events (dAE) and management. We assessed 303 PCa patients treated with apalutamide.
