Long-term functional outcomes after radical cystectomy with ileal bladder substitute: does the definition of continence matter?

Objective: Functional outcomes after ileal bladder substitution reflect the expectations of future patients at a particular centre. The aim of this study was to use validated questionnaires and a pad-weighing test to investigate functional outcomes after neobladder reconstruction at long-term follow-up in patients at a single centre.

Materials And Methods: During 2005 - 2015, 75 patients received a Studer ileal bladder substitute at the Department of Urology, Malmö.

In a rat model of panic, corticotropin responses to dorsal periaqueductal gray stimulation depend on physical exertion.

Panic disorder patients are exquisitely and specifically sensitive to hypercapnia. The demonstration that carbon dioxide provokes panic in fear-unresponsive amygdala-calcified Urbach-Wiethe patients emphasizes that panic is not fear nor does it require the activation of the amygdala. This is consonant with increasing evidence suggesting that panic is mediated caudally at midbrain's dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (DPAG).

Informing future research priorities into the psychological and social problems faced by cancer survivors: a rapid review and synthesis of the literature.

Purpose: To establish what is known regarding the psychological and social problems faced by adult cancer survivors (people who are living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer) and identify areas future research should address.

Method: A rapid search of published literature reviews held in electronic data bases was under taken. Inclusion and exclusion criteria, and removal of duplicated papers, reduced the initial number of papers from 4051 to 38.

The physical and practical problems experienced by cancer survivors: a rapid review and synthesis of the literature.

Purpose: A rapid and comprehensive review to identify what is known and not known about the physical and practical problems faced by adult cancer survivors.

Methods: A systematic literature review process was used. This focused on published reviews to enable a fast but rigorous identification of both the gaps and well-researched areas within survivorship.

Treatment and survival patterns for germ cell tumors among 13- to 24-year olds in Yorkshire, UK.

Background: Teenage and young adult (TYA) patient care can fall into gaps between adult and children's services. Increasingly UK TYA multi-disciplinary teams manage germ cell tumors (GCT) in locally agreed collaborations and age ranges. Patterns of care are changing rapidly.
