Management of testicular cancer: Practice survey in localized stage.

Introduction: Management of testicular cancer requires a complete evaluation to confirm the localized stage and effective treatment according to guidelines to ensure the best outcome. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate practices at each stage of care in patients with a localized testicular tumor. The secondary objective was to evaluate the oncological prognosis of these patients according to the modalities of care.

2-(Nitroaryl)benzothiazole and benzoxazole derivatives as fluorogenic substrates for the detection of nitroreductase activity in clinically important microorganisms.

A series of carboxy-substituted 2-(nitroaryl)benzothiazole derivatives and carboxy-substituted 2-(nitroaryl)benzoxazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated as potential nitroreductase substrates for the purpose of detecting clinically important microorganisms. Several of the substrates produced highly fluorescent colonies with the majority of a panel of 10 Gram-negative bacteria and also with two of a panel of 8 Gram-positive bacteria.

[Non-heart-beating renal donors: organization in a non-university hospital].

Introduction: In 2011 in France, all kidneys from patients with brain death and from living donors cannot meet the demand for renal transplants. Since 2006, sampling protocols kidneys from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) are developed to increase the number of renal transplants. The objective was to describe the organization of a protocol NHBD in a non-university hospital.

[Study of the efficacy and medium-term complications of 41 sacral nerve neurostimulators (Interstim, Medtronic, U.S.A.) in refractory urinary disorders].

Objective: Single-centre retrospective follow-up study (short-term and medium-term efficacy, complications, revisions) of patients treated for refractory urinary disorders by sacral nerve neurostimulation (Interstim, Medtronic, U.S.A.

[Specific features of the early diagnosis of prostate cancer in the presence of neurogenic bladder].

Due to their increased life expectancy, a growing number of neurological patients, particularly spinal cord injury patients, develop prostate cancer. Although prostate cancer appears to be slightly less frequent in spinal cord injury patients than in the general population (level of proof 3b), especially in the case of high and severe spinal cord injury (level of proof 3b), there is evidence to suggest that prostate cancer is responsible for morbidity (level of proof 4) and excess mortality (level of proof 5) in neurological patients with a life expectancy greater than 10 or 15 years. According to urology society guidelines, prostate cancer screening should be proposed to neurological patients with a life expectancy greater than 10 or 15 years (level of proof 5), particularly paraplegics aged 50 to 60 or 65 years.
