Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the most successful surgical procedure in orthopedics. However, dislocation remains the main indication for surgical revision. New designs of dual mobility cups (DMC) have lowered the classical complications and have extended the indications of DMC in elective surgeries.

Background: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy in cancer prostate (PCa) of Multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) targeted biopsy compared to standard systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUSGB) in biopsy-naïve patients.
Methods: A total of 168 biopsy-naïve men with clinical suspicion of PCa due to elevated PSA levels and/or an abnormal digital rectal examination were consecutively enrolled from July 2011 to July 2014. All patients underwent TRUSGB.
Objective: Contribution of a case of penile metastasis in a patient with metastatic rectal carcinoma.
Methods: A 70-Year-old patient was referred to our consultation after the discovery of "penis indurations" having been diagnosed of rectal carcinoma 18 months before. After physical examination penile biopsies were carried out.
Objective: To report a new case of bladder schistosomiasis.
Methods: A 21-year-old patient came to our consultation with gross hematuria several weeks before, existing reddish lesions in the cystoscopy that suggested the existence of an atypical bladder tumor.
Results: After intense blood and urine test, ultrasonography and intravenous urography, transurethral resection of bladder was performed and the diagnosis on histological examination was bladder schistosomiasis.
Objectives: To review the role of cerebellum on the lower urinary tract dynamics.
Methods: Anatomic-functional methodology including structural, functional and neurotransmitters study.
Results: We describe the complex connections of the cerebellum and its influence on the lower urinary tract function.
Objectives: To evaluate lower urinary tract functional symptoms in a series of patients with ataxia and to determine by urodynamic studies the kind of bladder-urethra neurological dysfunction in each case. We posed the question if the clinical picture could be enough to establish the diagnosis and therapeutic management of these patients with hereditary ataxia, or on the contrary it would be necessary to perform urodynamic studies in all cases.
Methods: Due to the low incidence of hereditary ataxias and patients' mobility it was necessary to recruit patients from various hospitals.
