Once-a-day Tadalafil administration improves the spermogram parameters in fertile patients.

Objectives: We explored the safety of Tadalafil once-daily treatment for 12 week and its effects on semen quality in a clinical subpopulation of men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED).

Patients And Methods: Twenty-seven men, between 19 and 35 years, unaware of their fertility status, suffering from psychogenic ED were enrolled. The examination of the seminal fluid was performed twice before administration of Tadalafil and twice after three months of continuous daily administration of Tadalafil 5 mg.

Evaluation of the diagnostic and predictive power of PCA3 in the prostate cancer. A different best cut-off in each different scenario. Preliminary results.

Introduction: Aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of PCA3 in patients with indication to perform a new biopsy, according to the histological doubt such as High Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HGPIN) or Atypical Small Gland Proliferation (ASAP) or the clinical suspicion.

Materials And Methods: One hundred men were enrolled. We used the PCA3 - PROGENSA™ procedure.

Comparison of ESWL outcome between Wolf Piezolith 3000 vs. storz Modulith Slk. it is the man who makes efficient the machine.

Aim Of The Study: The choice of an extracorporeal lithotripter for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of urinary stones must be done with efficacy criteria. It is easy to demonstrate the advantages of the third-generation lithotripters compared to previous generations of lithotripters. This study has the purpose of evaluate whether it is possible to establish differences in effectiveness between two third generation lithotripters.

Torsion of a neoplastic intrascrotal testis: when the torsion reveals the mass. A case report and review.

Cases of torsion of the spermatic cord are rare in men over 30-years-old. Testicular tumors manifest themselves rarely with symptoms of acute scrotum. We report the case of a 38-years-old patient who presented for a suspected left testis torsion.

Spontaneous rupture of urinary bladder: a case report and review.

TURP and PVP treatments are really similar? From subjective feeling to objective data. Pilot study (proof of concept) prospective randomized trial.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard of surgical treatment of the BPH. Alternative surgical techniques have been developed for patients with blood coagulation disorders secondary to anticoagulants or antiplatelet intake. The photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) by Green Laser is a technique used with the aim of obtaining tissue ablation with instantaneous hemostasis.

Hydrocele with surprise. Case report and review of literature.
