Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in Northwestern Argentina: Seroprevalence in rodents of Jujuy province and first seropositive record for Euryoryzomys legatus.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a Pan-American emerging infectious disease with a high mortality rate caused by rodent-borne viruses of the genus Orthohantavirus. In Argentina, almost half of the HPS infections occur in the northwestern endemic region. In this study, we evaluated rodent composition, abundance, and antibody prevalence in wild rodents in three subtropical sites: primary forest, secondary forest, and crop fields.

Total penectomy and perineal urethrostomy configuration in locally advanced penile cancer: oncological, surgical and functional outcomes.

This study aims to report the oncological, surgical and functional outcomes in 15 patients with locally advanced penile cancer who underwent total penile amputation with perineal urethrostomy (PU). A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted from January 2018 to September 2023. Outcomes included postoperative complications, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS).

The Outcomes of Adult Acquired Buried Penis Surgical Reconstruction.

Adult Acquired Buried Penis (AABP) is a morbid condition that often requires surgical intervention. This retrospective study of 46 patients who underwent AABP surgery from November 2017 to July 2023 evaluates surgical outcomes, functional outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. The median follow-up (FU) was 46 months.

Functional outcomes of organ sparing surgery for penile cancer confined to glans and premalignant lesions.

The first-line treatment of penile cancer confined to the glans (Tis-T2) is based on organ-sparing approaches. Our aim is to report functional outcomes of total glans resurfacing (TGR), wide local excision (WLE) and glansectomy. A retrospective analysis was conducted from January 2013 to October 2022.
