Introduction: A great variety of foreign bodies in the lower urinary tract have been described; many of them are self-inflicted by the patient with masturbatory purposes. Depending on the nature of the foreign body the diagnostic and management might be challenging.
Aims: We report a case of an unusual magnetic self-inserted foreign body into the bladder for autoerotism and briefly discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic implications in this challenging situation.
Objectives: To determine if dutasteride-treated men can be monitored safely and adequately for prostate cancer based on data from the Reduction by Dutasteride in Prostate Cancer Events (REDUCE) study. To analyse whether the use of treatment-specific criteria for repeat biopsy maintains the usefulness of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level for detecting high grade cancers.
Patients And Methods: The REDUCE study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of whether dutasteride (0.
Introduction: laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) using transumbilical access and conventional laparoscopic instruments is a very attractive alternative to perform ureterolithotomy for ureteral stone with failed endourological management.
Material And Method: a 29-year-old woman presented with chronic right lumbar pain and a 1.2 cm impacted calculus localized at transition of abdominal to pelvic ureter.
Objectives: • To compare the influence of a 4-week course of empirical antimicrobial therapy or observation on the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of asymptomatic patients with a raised baseline PSA. • To identify whether a decrease in PSA can predict the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) detection on prostate biopsy.
Patients And Methods: • Patients were referred to our ambulatory centre because of a raised PSA level (>2.
