Urinary magnesium deficiency and acute urinary retention.

This prospective case-control study explored the association between urinary magnesium levels and acute urinary retention (AUR) in individuals presenting to the emergency department. Forty-six participants, comprising 23 cases and 23 age- and sex-matched controls, underwent urine analysis for magnesium, calcium, and creatinine concentrations. The exclusion criteria mitigated potential confounding factors.

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) as a New Clinical Presentation of Histamine Intolerance: A Prevalence Study of Genetic Diamine Oxidase Deficiency.

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are highly prevalent, and their treatment is mainly focused on the control of symptoms. Histamine intolerance (HIT) has been related to a variety of systemic symptoms. DAO deficiency has been identified as a significant factor contributing to histamine intolerance (HIT).

[Kidney transplant future developments.].

Objective: Kidney transplantation process involves a series of challenges such as the shortage of organs worldwide for a population waiting for a first and subsequent kidney transplants and the search forthe most appropriate graft for each recipient, optimizing the ischemia time as much as possible, minimizing the impact of surgery and subsequent immunosuppressive therapy.

Methods: We carry out a review of the different advances and lines of research in the different areas involved in the kidney transplantation process from strategies focused on increasing the donor pool, enabling the expansion of living donor programs as well as orga preservation strategies previous to transplantation surgery.The arrival of robotic surgery in the field of kidney transplantation has been an important milestone in the last decade, showing improvements compared to traditional open surgery, maintaining satisfactory functional results, although its implementation is currently reduced with technical limitations in the extension to any type of recipient.

[Editorial: Trasplante renal.].

Estimados lectores, desde el año 2005 no se publicaba en nuestro país ningún monográfico sobre trasplante renal (Editor: Dr. Juan Alcover García) en la revista Archivos Españoles de Urología.

[Renal transplantation during COVID-19 period in Spain.].

The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant challenges in the area of kidney donation and transplantation. The objective of this article is to establish general recommendations for surgical teams to manage the kidney transplant program duringthe COVID-19 era. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This document is based on the scientific evidence available on the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the experience of authors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[Impact of predictive models and decision making in prostate cancer: An integral debate].

Objectives: To review the various methods to predict the risk of having prostate cancer, or that localized disease may be cured or progress after a given treatment.

Methods: We performed a review of the various mathematic models known for the probability analysis of the event, with a critical analysis of weaknesses and strengths of each method. In a Medline update we review the most relevant papers referred to diagnosis and management of localized prostate cancer in its diagnosis and management sides, as well as the probability of developing metastatic disease and to die.

[Inguinal ureteral hernia: a clinical case].

Summary Objectives: To describe a clinical case of ureteral inguinal hernia and to comment briefly about the topic.

Methods: 80 year-old patient with, hypertension, left inguinal hernia surgery, right hemicolectomy for colon adenocarcinoma and cholecystectomy. Intravenous urogram casually found that the right ureter was leaving the abdominal cavity though the right inguinal duct and then returned to the abdomen.

[Melanoma of the glans penis. Case report].

Objective: To report one case of melanoma of the glans penis.

Methods/results: We present the case of a patient diagnosed and treated in our department describing diagnosis and therapeutic management.

Conclusions: Melanoma of the penis is an uncommon presentation form of this kind of cutaneous tumor.

[Metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma to the epididymis and spermatic cord].

Objective: To report the case of an epididymal and spermatic cord metastasis of a colon adenocarcinoma.

Methods/results: We present the case of a 67 years old man, who presents several months after subtotal left colectomy for a left colon adenocarcinoma (pT3 NoMo), with a symptomatic right palpable testicular tumour. Right orchiectomy was done, demonstrating colon adenocarcinoma metastasis.

[Metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma in the corpora cavernosum of the penis. Case report and bibliographic review].

Objective: We describe a rare case, the metastasis of a renal clear cell carcinoma in the corpora cavernosum of the penis.

Methods: 53-year-old patient presenting with a painful, hard tumor in the penis three months after right radical nephrectomy with cavotomy and thrombus excision.

Results/conclusions: Imaging tests and biopsy led to the diagnosis of metastasis of a renal carcinoma in the corpus cavernosum, which was confirmed on the pathologic study of the specimen after penectomy.

[Clinical-pathological study of incidental renal cell carcinoma].

Objectives: To determine the percentage of renal cell carcinomas incidentally diagnosed (IRCC) and to compare their clinical and pathological characteristics with symptomatic or non-incidentally diagnosed tumors (SRCC).

Methods: We retrospectively study 189 patients who were diagnosed of renal carcinoma between 1990 and 1999. 166 underwent surgery (149 radical nephrectomy; 17 nephron-sparing surgery).

[Cutaneous metastasis of a renal carcinoma: case report and review].

Objectives: To report another rare case of skin metastasis from a renal adenocarcinoma, analyzing the prognostic significance, response to therapy, and clinical presentation after a bibliographic review.

Methods/results: We report the case of a 65-year-old male with a cutaneous metastasis in the root of his inferior left extremity one year after right nephrectomy for a clear cell adenocarcinoma.

Conclusions: Skin metastases usually present as solitary cutaneous lesions of variable macroscopic features and rapid growing; the diagnosis is made by histological analysis, being excision the treatment of choice whenever possible.

[Urologic damage of the primary antiphospholipid syndrome].

Objectives: To perform a review and update of the antiphospholipid syndrome summarizing its urological presentations.

Methods: A complete bibliographic search was performed through PubMed MEDLINE and articles were reviewed with special attention to those bibliographic references about urological presentations. We document the unique and unpublished case of a patient with neurogenic bladder secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome.
