New-Onset Myasthenia Gravis Confirmed by Electrodiagnostic Studies After a Third Dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 Vaccine.

Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine-related pathology is a rare occurrence with few reported cases. We report on a case of a 60-yr-old man experiencing symptoms of dysphagia, dysarthria, diplopia, and weakness with onset 6 days after receiving a third full dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (mRNA-1273 vaccine) in August 2021, which he received outside of the Center for Disease Control recommended guidelines, at 4 mos after his second dose of the Moderna vaccination course in March 2021. The Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization for mRNA-1273 booster was established in October 2021.

[Vicissitudes of a humble inventor].

Mechanized procedure for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Retropubic fixation of the vagina with a stapler specifically designed, using the pubis' symphysis as the site for anchoring. We intend to demonstrate the physiopathologic rationale to achieve continence by anchoring the urethra.

Diagnosis of bladder cancer by analysis of urinary fibronectin.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the analysis of fibronectin in the urine samples of patients with bladder cancer.

Methods: The study included 123 subjects: one group of 68 patients with bladder cancer confirmed by transurethral resection; a second group of 10 patients with benign urologic disease, and a third group of 45 healthy subjects. We carried out the analysis of bladder tumor fibronectin (BTF), cytology, and creatinine in urine, and calculated the BTF/creatinine (BTF/CREA) ratio.

Is it necessary to shave the pubic and genital regions of patients undergoing endoscopic urological surgery?

To determine whether postoperative urinary infections were related to shaving before undergoing endoscopic urological surgery, 90 patients were randomly assigned to shaving or not shaving. Urinary cultures revealed infection in 10 patients. Half of them had been shaved, suggesting that this practice does not affect the incidence of urinary infections.
