Overview of bladder cancer (BC) management in Italy during the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020) with head to head comparison of the data from March 2019, considered "usual activity" period.
Bladder cancer is considered a malignant tumour characterised by great heterogeneity. Engrailed-2 may be a gene implicated in bladder cancer. Bioinformatics analysis found base pair complementation between microRNA-27b and engrailed-2.
We have performed the direct and network meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted (RARC) versus laparoscopic (LRC) versus open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer (BCa).
Smoking, the most common risk factor for bladder cancer (BC), is associated with increased complications after radical cystectomy (RC), poorer oncologic outcomes, and higher mortality. The authors hypothesized that the effect of smoking on the probability of major complications increases with increasing age among patients who undergo RC.
Urethral stricture is fundamentally a fibrosis of the urethral epithelial and associated corpus spongiosum, which in turn, causes obstruction of the urethral lumen. Patients with urethral stricture most commonly present with lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention or urinary tract infection but may also experience a broad spectrum of other signs and symptoms, including genitourinary […]
To compare the clinical effect and safety of monoplane holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (MP-HoLEP) from those of biplane HoLEP (BP-HoLEP) in the treatment of large-volume BPH. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 67 cases of large-volume BPH treated in Jintan People’s Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018, 30 by MP-HoLEP with […]
To examine the impact of electroacupuncture (EA) at the ‘four sacral points’ on urge urinary incontinence (UUI). Twenty-five patients diagnosed with UUI or urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) were treated by EA at the ‘four sacral points’.
We aimed to investigate whether physical function was associated with urinary incontinence (UI) onset in community-dwelling older Japanese women. This was a 4-year prospective cohort study. After excluding participants with UI and missing data in the baseline survey, we included 890 participants in the analyses.
To assess the efficacy and safety of autologous mid-urethral sling (MUS) in women with predominant stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This prospective cohort study included adult women with predominant SUI seen in our urology clinic between January 2018 and March 2019.
This study aimed to assess the impact of overactive bladder on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a community-based sample of Korean population. The data of adults aged 19 and over that who participated in the 2012 Korean Community Health Survey were analyzed.
