Transcorporal Artificial Urinary Sphincter Technique Video.

Objective: The artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment for male stress urinary incontinence which commonly results from prostatectomy or pelvic radiation for prostate cancer. Patients with prior pelvic radiation history experience increased risk of developing urethral erosion. Transcorporal AUS (TAUS) placement can be used as an alternative for compromised urethras to incorporate a small portion of the corporal bodies for additional support.

Insight to urology patients' preferences regarding telemedicine.

Introduction: Due to COVID-19, telemedicine has become a common method of healthcare delivery. Our goal was to evaluate urology patients' satisfaction with telemedicine, examine patient preferences, and identify opportunities for improvement in readiness, access, and quality of care.

Materials And Methods: A total of 285 adult urology patients who completed at least one telemedicine visit from September to December 2020 were eligible.

A case report of a proximal corporal cavernosa injury presenting with butterfly perineal ecchymosis.

This is a case of a proximal corpus cavernosa fracture presenting with scrotal edema and butterfly perineal ecchymosis sparing the penile shaft. Preoperative MRI obviated the need for circumferential incision and degloving of the penis and guided immediate incision over the area of corporal injury. The presentation, diagnostic work-up, and surgical treatment are discussed.

Knowledge of Cervical Cancer Prevention Among Women in Amazonian Peru.

Survey-based research was conducted in Yantalo, Peru, a rural Amazonian community, to assess the knowledge base among women surrounding cervical cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV), and preventative health practices as well as to gain a better understanding of barriers to accessing care. A total of 217 women were interviewed out of the 1612 female inhabitants of Yantalo utilizing a structured interview-style questionnaire with both closed and open-ended questions. Our average respondent was 41.

Muscleblind acts as a modifier of FUS toxicity by modulating stress granule dynamics and SMN localization.

Mutations in fused in sarcoma (FUS) lead to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with varying ages of onset, progression and severity. This suggests that unknown genetic factors contribute to disease pathogenesis. Here we show the identification of muscleblind as a novel modifier of FUS-mediated neurodegeneration in vivo.
