Multi-institutional review of non-hypospadiac penile urethral stricture management and outcomes.

Objectives: Penile urethral stricture disease not associated with hypospadias is rare, and there is a wide range of commonly used surgical repair techniques for this disease. We sought to compile a multi-institutional database of patients who had surgical correction of strictures in the penile urethra not limited to the meatus, and who had no history of hypospadias, for analysis using the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons length, urethral segment and etiology classification system.

Methods: A retrospective database from 13 institutions was compiled of patients who had undergone surgical correction of Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons length, urethral segment and etiology urethral stricture segments S2b/S2c and excluding E5, with a minimum follow-up time of 4 months.

Diabetic foot affects nearly 6% of people living with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is also the most common complication of T2D and is associated with infection, ulceration. eHealth facilitation of Non-communicable diseases management has the potential to increase self-care and engage patients.

The yawning gap between osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment after a fragility fracture in Mexico.

Unlabelled: This study shows a diagnostic and therapeutic gap for osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures of the hip, distal radius, and vertebrae. Patients with fragility fractures treated in Mexico fail to receive an osteoporosis diagnosis, referral, and follow-up treatment. The therapeutic gap is higher than reported in other countries.

A multi-institutional critical assessment of dorsal onlay urethroplasty for post-radiation urethral stenosis.

Purpose: To critically evaluate a multi-institutional patient cohort undergoing Dorsal-Onlay Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty (D-BMGU) for recurrent post-radiation posterior urethral stenosis.

Methods: Retrospective multi-institutional review of patients with posterior urethral stenosis from 10 institutions between 2010-2019 was performed. Patients with at least 1-year follow-up were assessed.

Estimation of absolute risk of fracture due to fragility in Mexican women with early and natural menopause.

Background: Menopausal women lose until 5% of their bone density during the first years of menopause. One of 12 Mexican women will suffer a hip osteoporotic fracture after the age of 50.

Objective: To assess the absolute risk of major fracture (vertebrae, hip and forearm) and hip fracture and to establish the relation between years of menopause and bone mineral density (BMD).
