Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the impact of a living donor kidney transplant program on the functional outcomes of kidney grafts in Spain, comparing results from living donors and different cohorts of deceased donors.
- The sample included over 1,300 kidney transplant patients, categorized into groups based on whether their transplants were from living or deceased donors, and when the transplant occurred relative to the implementation of the living donor program.
- Key findings indicate that patients receiving transplants from deceased donors after the living donor program showed higher BMI and longer ischemia times, while pretransplant urinary tract infections were more prevalent in the deceased donor group prior to the program.
Objective: We report two cases of patients with a previous diagnosis of hematologic tumor who present with testicular recurrence, and we carry out a review of the literature regarding the infrequency of this pathology.
Methods: We present a retrospective review of the medical records of two patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies (acute myelogenous leukemia and multiple myeloma) with occurrence of relapse in the testicle. We reviewed the management and outcome after treatment with bilateral orchiectomy.
Objective: We present the case of a patient with eosinophilic ureteritis.
Methods: The patient was admitted with pain on the right renal fossa, and after several imaging tests, a mass was found on the right ureter, compatible with urothelial neoplasia on the right ureter.
Results: Right nephroureterectomy was performed and the histopathological diagnosis was eosinophilic ureteritis
Conclusion: Eosinophilic ureteritis is a rare entity with an unclear etiology,which is not easily distinguished from urothelial tumours.
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness and safety of saturation biopsies for prostate cancer detection of and to identify predictive variables for cancer.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective transversal study in which we analyzed 144 saturation biopsies (January '06 - July '09).
Inclusion Criteria: at least two sets of biopsies without evidence of malignancy and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)levels >10 ng/ml or PSA kinetics suggestive of malignancy (rate >0.
