Fourier transform InfraRed spectra analyzed by multivariate and machine learning methods in determination spectroscopy marker of prostate cancer in dried serum.

Prostate cancer represents the second most prevalent form of cancer in males globally. In the diagnosis of prostate cancer, the most commonly utilised biomarker is prostate-specific antigen (PSA). It is unfortunate that approximately 25 % of men with elevated PSA levels do not have cancer, and that approximately 20 % of patients with prostate cancer have normal serum PSA levels.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of overall survival and cancer advancement in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

Introduction: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has proven to be promising as a prognostic factor in many malignancies. We investigated the prognostic significance of NLR in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BC).

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the data of 134 consecutive patients with BC who underwent RC between 2011 and 2017 at a single center.

Extraperitoneal Laparoscopic Prostatectomy in a Prostate Cancer Patient Undergoing Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis.

Radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a challenging procedure. The following key points need to be considered: the peritoneal cavity integrity, adjustment of the trocar positions to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) tube location, and the oncological and functional outcomes. We present a clinical case of a patient on CAPD, incidentally diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) during the pre-transplant evaluation.

Urinary Incontinence in Adulthood in a Course of Ectopic Ureter-Description of Two Clinical Cases with Review of Literature.

Urinary tract pathologies are the most common congenital abnormalities. Duplex colleting system occurs at different stages of completion and is usually asymptomatic. Ureteral ectopia is an associated anomaly which may manifest as continuous incontinence.

Concurrent Bilateral Emphysematous Pyelonephritis and Emphysematous Cystitis: A Case Report of Glomerulonephritis Severe Complication.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) and emphysematous cystitis (EC) are severe, necrotizing emphysematous urinary tract infections (EUTI) characterized by the presence of gas in the lumen and wall of the urinary tract and renal parenchyma. EUTIs are quite uncommon, but combination of bilateral EPN and EC is extremely rare. We report a case of 57-year-old diabetic female diagnosed with septic shock due to concurrent bilateral EPN and EC.

Radiation-Induced Recurrent Vesicovaginal Fistula-Treatment with Adjuvant Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection and Martius Flap Placement-Case Report and Review of Literature.

Vesicovaginal fistula is the non-physiological connection between the urinary bladder and vagina. This results in continuous urine leakage. In developed countries, the prevalence of this condition is low and affects (mainly) women with a history of gynaecological procedures or radiotherapy.
