phi and phiD predict adverse pathological features after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in Chinese population.

Background: Anticipating the postoperative pathological stage and potential for adverse features of prostate cancer (PCa) patients before radical prostatectomy (RP) is crucial for guiding perioperative treatment.

Methods: A cohort consisting of three sub-cohorts with a total of 709 patients has been enlisted from two major tertiary medical centres in China. The primary assessment parameters for adverse pathological features in this study are the pathological T stage, the AJCC prognostic stage groups and perineural invasion (PNI).

Transurethral En Bloc Resection Versus Standard Resection of Bladder Tumour: A Randomised, Multicentre, Phase 3 Trial.

Background And Objective: Conventionally, standard resection (SR) is performed by resecting the bladder tumour in a piecemeal manner. En bloc resection of the bladder tumour (ERBT) has been proposed as an alternative technique in treating non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The objective of this study is to investigate whether ERBT could improve the 1-yr recurrence rate of NMIBC, as compared with SR.

The Impact of Prostate-Specific Antigen Screening on Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality in China: 13-Year Prospective Population-Based Cohort Study.

Background: The status of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening is unclear in China. Evidence regarding the optimal frequency and interval of serial screening for prostate cancer (PCa) is disputable.

Objective: This study aimed to depict the status of PSA screening and to explore the optimal screening frequency for PCa in China.

Prostate health index can stratify patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score 3 lesions on magnetic resonance imaging to reduce prostate biopsies.

We aim to evaluate prostate health index as an additional risk-stratification tool in patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score 3 lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Men with biochemical or clinical suspicion of having prostate cancer who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in two tertiary centers (Queen Mary Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, China) between January 2017 and June 2022 were included. Ultrasound-magnetic resonance imaging fusion biopsies were performed after prostate health index testing.

Angioembolization for massive pelvic hematoma after prostatic urethral lift.

Introduction: Pelvic hematomas are a rare complication of prostatic urethral lift. We would like to report the first case of massive pelvic hematoma after prostatic urethral lift that was successfully managed by selective angioembolization.

Case Presentation: An 83-year-old gentleman with benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent prostatic urethral lift.

Causal Effects of Modifiable Behaviors on Prostate Cancer in Europeans and East Asians: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study.

Objective: Early evidence is disputable for the effects of modifiable lifestyle behaviors on prostate cancer (PCa) risk. No research has yet appraised such causality in different ancestries using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Methods: A two-sample univariable and multivariable MR analysis was performed.

The diagnostic value of rapid urine test platform UF-5000 for suspected urinary tract infection at the emergency department.

Background And Objective: Urine culture is time consuming, which may take days to get the results and impede further timely treatment. Our objective is to evaluate whether the fast urinalysis and bacterial discrimination system called Sysmex UF-5000 may predict urinary tract infections (UTIs) (within minutes) compared with the clinical routine test in suspected UTI patients. In addition, we aimed to explore the accuracy of microbiologic information by UF-5000.

Anterior perineal hernia after anterior exenteration.

Perineal hernia is a rare complication of anterior exenteration. We reported this complication after an anterior exenteration for bladder cancer with bleeding complication requiring packing and second-look laparotomy. Perineal approach is a simple and effective method for repair of perineal hernia.

Isolated penile urethral injury: A rare case following male coital trauma.

Penile fractures are an uncommon urological emergency. Typically, penile fractures involve the corpus cavernosum and are sometimes associated with urethral injury. Isolated corpus spongiosum and urethral injuries without concomitant corpus cavernosum injury are, however, rare.
