Purpose: Long-term results on quality of life (QoL) as well as clinical outcomes of intermittent self-dilatation (ISD) of the urethra after direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) are scarce. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs) on voiding symptoms and QoL in a large cohort of urethral stricture patients performing ISD.
Methods: We identified a total of 121 patients who performed ISD following DVIU between 2008 and 2013.
Purpose: To test the association between the Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index (CCI) and the recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Methods: NMIBC (Ta, T1, TIS) patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) between 2010 and 2018 were identified within a retrospective data repository of a large university hospital. Kaplan-Meier estimates and uni- and multivariable Cox regression models tested for differences in risk of recurrence according to low vs.
Article Synopsis
- A previously healthy man in Austria developed tularemia epididymo-orchitis, which resulted in the removal of one testicle (unilateral orchiectomy).
- The bacteria Francisella tularensis subspecies holartica was identified in the affected testicular tissue using genetic sequencing methods.
- Doctors should consider F. tularensis as a rare cause of epididymo-orchitis, especially in patients with specific risk factors.
Background: Based on biological and behavioural diversity sex and gender may affect comorbidities associated with prediabetes and diabetes. Besides evaluating the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes (using fasting plasma glucose and HbA1 levels), the primary aim of the study is to investigate sex and gender differences in the prevalence of comorbidities in subjects with prediabetes and diabetes and to identify possible risk factors associated with prediabetes and diabetes.
Design: This observational, population-based cohort study included 11.
