Mobile-based Assessment of Entrustable Professional Activities in Urology Training: Implementation and Outcomes.

Background And Objective: Urology residency programs often lack consistent feedback mechanisms and tracking of an individual's progress. Competency-based medical education, using entrustable professional activities (EPAs), offers a solution but faces challenges in implementation. The aim of this study was to implement and assess a smartphone application for real-time EPA assessments in urology residency programs.

Prevalence and Clinical Implications of Post-obstruction Hyperdiuresis Among Patients with Urinary Retention: A Mini Review.

Unlabelled: Urinary retention is a common urological emergency requiring catheterization. However, follow-up management remains poorly defined, particularly regarding post-obstruction hyperdiuresis (POHD), which may lead to complications such as hypovolemia and electrolyte disturbances. Our mini review of PODS identified nine relevant studies involving 665 patients.

An educational programme for home mechanical ventilation in motor neuron disease.

Respiratory failure represents the leading cause of death among people with motor neuron disease (MND). Home mechanical ventilation supports respiratory function, but its management places a significant demand on patients and informal caregivers. The need for consistent support to deal with home mechanical ventilation is recognised.

Case report: A severe myositis mimicking bulbar palsy after administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Objectives: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) are nowadays a cornerstone of anti-cancer treatments. However, the wide spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) represents a challenge in the oncological practice. Our objective is to document rare complications of ICI to help the community of onco-immunologists.

Adjuvant Radiation Therapy or Observation With or Without Early Salvage Radiation Therapy for Men With Node-Positive Prostate Cancer After Surgery and Negative Preoperative Conventional Imaging: A Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To assess the survival outcomes of adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT) vs observation with or without early salvage RT (Obs ± esRT) for cN0M0 pN1 prostate cancer (PCa) and to create a model for clinical decision-making.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively identified 1103 patients with cN0M0 PCa with pN1 PCa after surgery (2000-2021) at 18 referral centers. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used.
