[Research on the design and evaluation of sexual health prevention campaigns aimed at young people in Spain from 1987 to 2016].

Introduction: New HIV diagnoses and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to be a public health problem in Spain. Since the beginning of HIV infection in our country, prevention campaigns have been developed by the Health Services regarding sexual and reproductive health. Several authors warn about the poor evaluation of these campaigns.

[Prostate cryotherapy: General principles.].

Introduction: Prostate cryotherapy has been consolidated as an alternative minimally invasive treatment.

Objective: To exposed its historical development, its action mechanism and the surgical technique. Regarding its indications, we expose the different option of treatment- primary cryotherapy, salvage and focal- emphasizing its oncological results in the absence of randomized studies.

Rectourethral Fistula Management.

Rectourethral fistula (RUF) is a rare condition that occurs, in most cases, as a consequence of prostate cancer treatments. Clinical suspicion and proper assessment prior to surgery are essential to adapt and successfully carry out an appropriate treatment plan. There are no randomized trials to guide clinical practice, and therefore, scientific evidence in this respect is limited.

Penile Prosthesis First and Replacement Surgeries: Analysis of Patient and Partner Satisfaction.

Introduction: Among the many treatments for erectile dysfunction, implantation of a penile prosthesis has been associated with high patient satisfaction rates. Prosthesis replacement has become an accepted procedure in the event of device malfunction or complications, but to our knowledge, there are no data regarding the impact of implant replacement on patients and partner satisfaction.

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess and to compare the level of satisfaction, with a first or second penile prosthesis implantation (PPI), in men with refractory erectile dysfunction and their partners.

[Self-learning of ethics in medicine history. An attractive experience].

Introduction. The concept of person-based medicine may be transmitted to undergraduate studies and the subject of History of Medicine can be a good chance for it, if we engage the students to confront them with the characters, values and actions of those personalities who achieved the principal scientific advances in biomedicine area. Material and Method.

[Recto-urethral fistula secondary to prostate cancer].

Objectives: There are various treatments forprostate cancer nowadays, including techniques that have been used for manyyears such as surgery and radiotherapy, and newer procedures that are gaining prominence in the Urological field like cryotherapy or HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound). Rectourethral fistula is a rare complication that demands the urologist a great capacity; it may happen after either existent treatment.

Methods: PubMed literature review with articles published during the last 10 years using the terms "rectourethral fistula" and "prostate cancer".

[Anatomy and vascularization on the male urethra and penis].

In this review we present an update on the anatomy and vascularization of the male urethra. The real objective of this review is to make the following chapters more understandable, both to know the physio-pathological mechanisms of urethral pathology and also to help us in their surgical management.

[Testosterone deficit syndrome in the chronic renal failure patient].

Hypogonadism may affect as much as 70% of the patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in comparison with general population. Physiopathologically, it is a hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, with alterations in the pulsatile production of GnRH, FSH, LH and testicular testosterone, that is a general disorder of the hypothalamic-hypophysis-testicular axis. This disorder may determine important consequences in this population of patients, with varied sexual dysfunction, trophic and functional muscular and fatty tissue disorders, bone demineralization, anemia and increase of cardiovascular disease associated mortality.

[Rescue cryotherapy for prostate cancer after radiotherapy].

Radical Radiotherapy constitutes a useful therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer. Almost one third of prostate cancer patients choose this alternative to treat the disease. Despite modifications in the technique as intensity modulation, 3D conformational radiotherapy or computer-assisted brachytherapy, a significant percentage of these patients will show an increase in PSA values after radiation.

[Ethic evaluation of sexual health programs on adolescence].

In public health services, the interest in sexuality seems to turning from traditional topics such as potential treatments for male erectile dysfunction, psychosomatic disorders, the control of premature ejaculation and contraception. Instead, an increasingly prominent role is being given to prevention strategies carried out by means of campaigns or through sexual health programme sin schools. The different teaching strategies that underlie these programmes, which in many cases lack social consensus but are often promoted by international organizations such as WHO or UNESCO, reveal not only divergent ethical conceptions and worldviews on the meaning of sexuality, but also conflicting starting points, means and goals, focusing either on barrier-contraceptive methods or on sexual abstinence and personal responsibility.

Effectiveness of two ultrasound-guided transrectal biopsy schemes in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. A randomized study.

Objective: To determine whether a 10-core prostate biopsy scheme is superior to the sextant scheme in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients programmed for a first biopsy, with negative rectal digital examination and PSA between 3.5-20 ng/ml.

Methods: A randomized prospective study was performed comparing two prostate biopsy schemes, with randomization stratification according to prostate volume (< or = 50 ml and > 50 ml).

[Ethics and efficacy in sexual health campaigns].

The effectiveness of the diverse campaigns of sexual education carried out in Spain in the last 15 years scarcely has been analyzed. These campaigns have been directed fundamentally to adolescent people and its declared purpose has consisted of promoting the called "safe sex" being based only in the information on methods of barrier. Trying to clarify the efficacy of these campaigns, in the present work the epidemiological data contributed by the Department of Health and the National Institute of the Spanish Youth have been retrospectively investigated.

[Results of the use of donors under 3 years of age for pediatric renal transplantation].

Objectives: To evaluate the functional results and incidence of complications in a series of pediatric renal transplants using grafts from pediatric donors under 3 years of age.

Methods: We review a serious of 19 renal transplants consecutively performed in pediatric receptors with donors under the age of 3 years. We analyze immediate function, medical and surgical complications, and long and mid-term graft and patient survivals.
