[Influence of systematic antibiotic prophylaxis and/or cystoscope cleaning/disinfecting method on urinary culture becoming positive after outpatient flexible cystoscopy.].

Introduction And Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis as well as the cleaning/disinfection procedures to prevent urinary tract infection in patients undergoing office flexible cystoscopy.

Methods: A prospective, randomized study was performed between June 2015 to May 2016 including every patient who underwent flexible cystoscopy at the Urology outpatient unit. Patients with temporary or permanent urinary stents were excluded from the study as well as procedures that involved bladder biopsies.

Stress-stones-stress-recurrent stones: a self-propagating cycle? Difficulties in solving this dichotomy.

Numerous studies have reported an association between stress and urolithiasis. Although urinary risk factors have been measured in several of these, compelling evidence of a causal relationship has not been established. A shortcoming is that alterations in single urinary parameters rather than ratios and quotients, which provide a more synergistic risk evaluation, have been measured.

[Diet in the lithiasic patient: A practical guide.].

The incidence and prevalence of lithiasic disease in developed countries has increased over the last years. Being diet one of the risk factors for urolithiasis, and having it evolved in conjunction with lifestyle over the last decades, such changes could explain the increase in lithiasis case-load. In this article, we analyze how the exercise of the urologist has been regarding the preventive role of diet in the lithiasis patient, what are the scientific evidences on the relationship of diet and lithiasis, and, on this base, what general dietetic recommendations we can give currently to our patients.

Dermatological side effects of intravesical Mitomycin C: Delayed hypersensitivity.

Objective: To know the dermatologic side effects of intravesical treatment with Mitomycin C in non muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Methods: We describe two cases of palm and plantar dermatitis after such treatment.

Result: We describe two types of dermatitis pathogenesis during treatment with intravesical Mitomycin C: contact dermatitis and delayed hypersensitivity dermatitis.
