Objective: We report our initial experience in the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) using the Focal-One device.
Material And Methods: Retrospective review of the prospectively populated database. Between June 2014 to October 2015, 85 patients underwent HIFU (focal/whole-gland) treatment for localized PCa.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of acute renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis (ARFSR) as a complication of major urological surgery (MUS), as well as to describe the clinical characteristics and identify possible risk and protective factors.
Subjects And Methods: Cases of ARFSR due to MUS between January 1997 and August 2011 were identified using the institutional database. The incidence was estimated and the clinical characteristics were analyzed using simple scatterplot graphs to identify possible risk and protective factors.
Aim: Despite standard treatment with transurethral resection (TURBT) and adjuvant therapy, many bladder cancers (BCs) recur and some progress. Based on a review of the literature, we aimed to establish the optimal current approach for the early diagnosis and management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Methods: A Medline® search was conducted to identify the published literature relating to early identification and treatment of NMIBC.
Objectives: Sickle cell disease is one of the most common hereditary diseases, and migration trends and cross breeding have increased its incidence in Europe. While much has been published about the disease, there are few reviews in the literature dealing with its manifestations in the genitourinary system.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review, using as our main instrument the PubMed online database, on recent advances in knowledge of the pathophysiology and urological, nephrological, and andrological manifestations of the disease.
