CTCs have extensively been used for the monitoring and characterization of metastatic prostate cancer, but their application in the clinic is still very scarce. Besides, the resistance mechanisms linked to prostate cancer treatment remain unclear.
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is often used as adjuvant treatment with radiation therapy (RT) for intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa). ADT is associated with multiple side effects including weight gain, loss of libido and hot flashes.
AR-V7-positive metastatic prostate cancer is a lethal phenotype with few treatment options and poor survival. The two-cohort nonrandomized Phase 2 study of combined immune checkpoint blockade for AR-V7-expressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (STARVE-PC) evaluated nivolumab (3 mg/kg) plus ipilimumab (1 mg/kg), without (Cohort 1) or with (Cohort 2) the anti-androgen enzalutamide.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) represent a substantial portion of health care-associated infections (HAIs) reported in the United States.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common nosocomial infection. However, there have been no randomized controlled studies comparing efficacy of antiseptic solutions for reducing CAUTI.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a clinical syndrome that includes the many complex health and performance consequences of low energy availability (EA) in athletes, when there is insufficient caloric intake to meet exercise-related energy expenditure and to support basic physiologic functions.
The objective of the study was to analyze short-term outcomes and safety profile of the newly designed artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs) VICTO® and VICTOplus®. Data from the implant of VICTO® or VICTOplus® AUSs on a series of consecutive male patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following radical prostatectomy (RP) were retrospectively collected in 3 tertiary […]
To estimate the efficacy of urethroplasty and rates of de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the specific setting of radiation-induced urethral stenosis (RIUS). A systematic search of databases (PubMed and EMBASE) was performed between 1980-2019 (CRD42020144845).
To identify risk factors by developing a nomogram for predicting surgical outcomes for female patients who underwent tension free vaginal tape (TVT) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Data on 365 patients with pure SUI who underwent TVT at the Shanghai General Hospital between February, 2017 and July, 2018, were retrospectively collected.
To investigate how pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery affects symptoms of urinary incontinence (UI) in women with POP and concomitant UI. Data from the Danish Urogynaecological Database were collected from 2013 to 2016.
