[Diagnostic algorithm and key differential diagnoses of hematuria].

The different causes of hematuria depend largely on age, gender and clinical context. Macrohematuria should always be investigated using cystoscopy and advanced imaging (CT/MRI with urographic phase). The most common differential diagnoses of macrohematuria include urinary tract infection, stones and urothelial carcinoma.

Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Orthotopic Neobladder after 70 Years Leads to Worse Health-Related Quality of Life.

Radical cystectomy (RC) with the formation of an ileal orthotopic neobladder (ONB) may adversely affect long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL). An advanced age at the time of ONB construction could further exacerbate the decline in HRQOL. This study aims to establish an evidence-based age threshold at the time of RC with ONB, beyond which a significant deterioration in HRQOL is observed.

Effects of Intraoperative Opioid Use and a Combined Anesthesia Protocol in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder-A Single-Center Experience.

Background: An increased intraoperative opioid dose seems to lead to worse outcomes in several types of cancer. We assessed the effect of intraoperatively administered opioids as well as the type of anesthesia on survival, recurrence rates and major perioperative outcomes in patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

Methods: We included patients who underwent open RC at our center between 2015 and 2022.

Implementation of a Labor Dystocia Checklist to Reduce NTSV C-Section Rates.

Background And Objectives: Cesarean section (c-section) rates among nulliparous, term, singleton, and vertex (NTSV) pregnancies are increasing, posing risk to the infant and birthing parent. To reach the Healthy People 2030 goal of an NTSV c-section rate below 23.6%, teams must remain aware of their NTSV c-section rate and implement mechanisms to reduce it.
