The role of diallyl thiosulfinate associated with nuciferine and diosgenin in the treatment of premature ejaculation: A pilot study.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of an association of diallyl thiosulfinate with nuciferine and diosgenin in the treatment of a group of patients suffering from premature ejaculation (PE), primary or secondary to erectile dysfunction (ED).

Materials And Methods: From July 2015 to October 2016, 143 patients (mean age 25.3; range 18-39) affected by PE completed the study and were finally analyzed in this phase I study.

[Prevention of venous thromboembolism in urologic neoplasms].

Purpose: We report our past experience on a sample of patients who underwent pelvic surgery to treat infiltrating bladder tumours.

Results: We observed the highest incidence of TVP (33.3%, 3 out of 9) in those patients with higher risk due to anaesthesia and type of surgery.

[Obstructive uropathy secondary to recurrent pelvic endometriosis: description of a clinical case].

The typical presentation of endometriosis is pelvic pain. Patients with with endometriosis often have associated fertility disorders even if their relationship with the symptoms and signs of endometriosis is not evident. The first line of treatment for endometriosis must be surgery.

Deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing salvage radical cystectomy.

Objective: The possible occurrence of venous thrombosis in tumor-bearing patients had already been reported by Trousseau in the past century. The blood clotting alterations in cancer-bearing patients can cause Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), especially in those patients with disseminated metastases. Anti-tumor chemotherapy can increase the risk of thrombosis.

Detection of bladder cancer by semi-automated microsatellite analysis of urine sediment.

Patients with transitional-cell carcinoma (TCC) require careful follow-up due to the high risk of recurrence. Cystoscopy and biopsy are reliable but invasive, while urine cytology is plagued by low sensitivity. It has recently been shown that allelic abnormalities detected by microsatellite analysis of DNA extracted from urine can be used to diagnose TCC with high reliability.
