Case report of visual quality in a patient with nephronophthisis 12- associated retinopathy secondary to TTC21B mutation.

Introduction: Nephronophthisis 12 is a rare condition and only two cases have been reported to associate with retinopathy. Herein we present the third case in scientific literature, and the first with vision-quality exams.

Clinical Case: The case was a 28-year-old male with the mutations c.

Pain associated with prostaglandin E-containing intracavernosal injection medication is associated with poor erectile function recovery after radical prostatectomy.

Background: Intracavernosal injection therapy is often used as second-line therapy for erectile dysfunction associated with radical prostatectomy when therapy with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors has failed, but prostaglandin E1-containing vasoactive agents are associated with penile pain in some men.

Objectives: To define the incidence of pain with prostaglandin E1-containing intracavernosal injection mixtures for erectile dysfunction associated with radical prostatectomy when therapy with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors has failed, and whether pain was a predictor of erectile function recovery.

Materials And Methods: Men who underwent radical prostatectomy and were commenced on intracavernosal injection within 12 months of radical prostatectomy were included.

A Full Bladder Is Not Needed for the Male Stress Incontinence Grading Scale.

Introduction: Our objectives were to evaluate the Male Stress Incontinence Grading Scale to stratify male patients with stress urinary incontinence for either artificial urinary sphincter or sling using a standing cough test and determine if an emptier bladder at the time of assessment carries increased risk of treatment failure.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of male patients undergoing sling and artificial urinary sphincter placement. The standing cough test score and bladder scan results were documented at initial evaluation.

Nitric Oxide: Physiological Functions, Delivery, and Biomedical Applications.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule that has a central role in signaling pathways involved in numerous physiological processes (e.g., vasodilation, neurotransmission, inflammation, apoptosis, and tumor growth).
