Giant seminal vesicle cystadenoma diagnosed on imagery after acute urinary retention in a middle-aged man: A case report with brief literature review.

Seminal vesicle cystadenomas (SVC) are exceedingly rare benign tumors, with only 22 cases reported in the literature up to 2018. Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with acute urinary retention secondary to a giant pelvic mass. Radiological imaging diagnosed a retrovesical well-delimited multicystic tumor, initially suspected to arise from the left lobe of the prostate but ultimately confirmed to originate from left seminal vesicle.

Use of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) for an objective assessment of disability determination according to the Modified Katz Scale: a prospective longitudinal study.

Background: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) tool can be applied for a factual score determining urinary incontinence in the Katz-6 Scale, and it is effective to identify score 2 from score 3.

Methods: Functional capacity of 63 patients (14 M, 49 F aged from 70 to 99 years old) was evaluated with a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Katz Index for Activities of Daily Living, and ICIQ-UI-SF questionnaire. Mean comparative analysis was performed.

[A qualitative assessment of the impact of a specialist nurse in outpatient urology consultations].

Aim: This paper presents the results of a prospective study of outpatient urology consultations designed to provide evidence of the benefits of using a specialist nurse to improve quality of care.

Methods: 135 patients (95 men and 40 women) were included in the study. Urinary disorders were defined using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Validation of use of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) for impairment rating: a transversal retrospective study of 120 patients.

Aims: A urinary incontinence impairment rating must be a highly accurate, non-invasive exploration of the condition using International Classification of Functioning (ICF)-based assessment tools. The objective of this study was to identify the best evaluation test and to determine an impairment rating model of urinary incontinence.

Methods: In performing a cross-sectional study comparing successive urodynamic tests using both the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) and the 1-hr pad-weighing test in 120 patients, we performed statistical likelihood ratio analysis and used logistic regression to calculate the probability of urodynamic incontinence using the most significant independent predictors.
