Association of Aggression with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Overactive Bladder in Men: Observations from a Large Population-representative Study.

Background And Objective: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder (OAB) intimately affect the psychological wellbeing and mental health of men. However, to date, the association of aggression with LUTS and OAB has not been investigated. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the association of aggression with LUTS and OAB in a large representative cohort of men at the population level.

Relationship between Urinary Parameters and Double-J Stent Encrustation.

(1) Background: This study aimed to determine the relationship between metabolic urine conditions and the formation, severity, and composition of encrustations in ureteral stents. (2) Methods: Ninety stone-former patients requiring a double-J stent were prospectively enrolled. We collected 24 h metabolic urine samples and demographic data, including indwelling time and previous stone composition.

Incidence of urological cancers in neurological patients: a review of the literature from the EAU Young Academic Urologist Functional Group.

Introduction: Urological cancers can be challenging in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with neurological diseases. As a result, there are still uncertainties regarding the incidence and risk factors favouring the development of urological cancers in these patients. The aim of this study was to review the available evidence regarding the incidence for the development of urological cancers in neurological patients to provide a basis for future recommendations and research.

Gender representation at scientific congresses: focus on functional and female urology-a study from the EAU Young Academic Urologist Functional Urology Group.

Purpose: Female representation at scientific conferences is crucial for encouraging women pursuing an academic career. Nevertheless, gender inequity at urological conferences is common place and women are often stereotyped choosing functional urology. However, there is no evidence whether female representation is higher in functional urology.

Daily Pad Usage Versus the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form for Continence Assessment Following Radical Prostatectomy.

Purpose: Continence assessment is an essential component of follow-up after radical prostatectomy (RP). Several methods exist to assess the severity of urinary incontinence (UI). Our study examined the relationship and degree of agreement between International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) scores and the number of pads used in a 24-hour period in the assessment of UI following RP.

A match-pair analysis of continence in intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: the role of urine loss ratio and predictive analysis.

Background: We aimed to study the continence between intermediate and high-risk cancer patients and the influential factors to recover continence.

Materials And Methods: In total, 655 patients underwent surgery by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between 2010 and 2015. Of 655 patients, 294 were classified according to D'Amico risk groups as intermediate risk or high risk and completed the micturition protocol.

Cytogenetic and immunohistochemical study of 42 pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (PMChRCC).

Pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (PMChRCC) is a recently described morphologic variant of ChRCC. We have identified 42 cases in 40 patients in the last 24 years. We have investigated their clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic features.

Prevalence analysis of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy and influential preoperative factors in a single institution.

Aims: To assess prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and to analyze which preoperative characteristics of the patients have influence on UI.

Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, 746 consecutive patients underwent RP for clinically localized prostate cancer. We defined UI according to International Continence Society (ICS) definition: "the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine" after 12 months of recovery, international consultation on incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ-SF) and pads/day was collected too.

Assessment and prevalence of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy: Analysis of a historical series.

Objectives: Prostate cancer can be treated by radical prostatectomy and provoke urinary incontinence as secondary effect. Our aim is to calculate the prevalence of urinary incontinence, characteristics of leakage and influential factors, through a historical series.

Methods: We perform a descriptive, observational and retrospective study of 1310 patients who received treatment for PCa between 1989 and 2011.

Can low urinary tract symptoms influence postprostatectomy urinary incontinence?

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze what kind of urinary symptoms patients have before receiving treatment by radical prostatectomy (RP), and to evaluate their influence on urinary incontinence (UI).

Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, 758 consecutive patients underwent RP for clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa). Surgery was carried out by open retropubic RP in 545 (73.

MRI factors to predict urinary incontinence after retropubic/laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Purpose: Prostate cancer can be treated by radical prostatectomy (RP) and provoke a troublesome side effect: urinary incontinence (UI). We propose a verification of the usefulness of MRI and an identification of which structures are involved in UI after RP.

Methods: Between September 2002 and December 2011, 550 patients underwent RP.

Survival analysis of patients with biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy treated with androgen deprivation: Castration-resistance influential factors.

Introduction: We evaluate the prognosis of patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and to determine the influential factors to castration resistance (CR) and death.

Methods: From a series of 1310 patients with T1-T2 prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy between 1989 and 2012, 371 had BCR. Patients with lymph node involvement were excluded.

Radical prostatectomy. Detailed surgical margins. Prognostic value of multifocal involvement in pT2 (+).

Objectives: We intend to analyze the prognostic value of positive surgical margins depending on their number and location in pT2 patients.

Methods: We analyze 448 (34.3%) patients with positive surgical margins from a series of 1,310 T1-T2 patients treated with radical prostatectomy between 1989-2012.

Case of emphysematous pyelonephritis in kidney allograft: Conservative treatment.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute necrotizing infection with gas in the kidney and perinephric space that carries a bad prognosis. Apart from its predisposing clinical entities, diabetes mellitus and immune-incompetence are quite common in patients with this infection. We report a case of a 53-year-old kidney transplant recipient diabetic male, suffering from recurrent fever, abdominal pain and nausea episodes.

Objectives: We intend to assess the prognostic influence of surgical margins on the biochemical progression free survival (BPFS) in patients classified as pT2 after radical prostatectomy.

Methods: We analyze a series of 1,132 T1-T2 patients with prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy between 1989-2009. PT3b, pT4 and patients with lymph node involvement were excluded from the series.
