[Resistant hypertension - pheochromocytoma].

We report a case of a man with a 30-year history of treatment-resistant hypertension, hydropoiesis, tachycardic spells and dysgeusia. Despite repeated visits to the emergency department and work-up in an out-patient clinic, the diagnosis was unknown. Three years prior to remittance to an endocrinologist, the hypertension worsened, and he developed diabetes type-II.

Transition from open to robotically assisted approach on radical prostatectomies in Iceland. A nationwide, population-based study.

Objectives: In January 2015, radical prostatectomies (RPs) in Iceland changed almost entirely from being performed as open (ORP) to robotically assisted (RARP). This study assesses early surgical and short-term oncological outcome after ORP and RARP and evaluates the safety of transition between the two surgical techniques.

Methods: The study population involved 160/163 (98%) of all radical prostatectomies performed in Iceland between January 2013 and April 2016.

An Adaptation, Extension and Pre-Testing of an Interactive Decision Aid for Men Diagnosed with Localized Prostate Cancer in Iceland: A Mixed-Method Study.

In this study an interactive decision aid (DA) for men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer was adapted, extended and pre-tested. The DA's prototype was based on a literature review and other empirically tested DAs. Semi-structured interviews with 12 men (age 65-80) diagnosed with localized prostate cancer were conducted to get feedback on content, usability, and the DA's layout.

Operative management in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma in Iceland: a population-based study.

Objective: Radical nephroureterectomy is the standard treatment of organ-confined upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The objective of this study was to investigate survival and bladder recurrence rate in Icelandic patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterctomy (RNU) or other procedures with curative intent.

Material And Methods: All patients who were diagnosed with UTUC in Iceland from 2003 to 2016 and treated with curative intent were included in the study.

The Impact of Histological Subtype on the Incidence, Timing, and Patterns of Recurrence in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma After Surgery-Results from RECUR Consortium.

Background: Current follow-up strategies for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after curative surgery rely mainly on risk models and the treatment delivered, regardless of the histological subtype.

Objective: To determine the impact of RCC histological subtype on recurrence and to examine the incidence, pattern, and timing of recurrences to improve follow-up recommendations.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This study included consecutive patients treated surgically with curative intention (ie, radical and partial nephrectomy) for nonmetastatic RCC (cT1-4, M0) between January 2006 and December 2011 across 15 centres from 10 countries, as part of the euRopEan association of urology renal cell carcinoma guidelines panel Collaborative multicenter consortium for the studies of follow-Up and recurrence patterns in Radically treated renal cell carcinoma patients (RECUR) database project.

Radical cystectomy in the treatment of bladder cancer in Iceland: A population-based study.

Objective: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Postoperative complications are reported to be as high as 65%. The objective of this study was to investigate complications and survival in Icelandic patients with bladder cancer who underwent RC.
