Validation of inertial measurement units based on waveform similarity assessment against a photogrammetry system for gait kinematic analysis.

When assessing gait analysis outcomes for clinical use, it is indispensable to use an accurate system ensuring a minimal measurement error. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are a versatile motion capture system to evaluate gait kinematics during out-of-lab activities and technology-assisted rehabilitation therapies. However, IMUs are susceptible to distortions, offset and drifting.

Ureteral Stenosis and Fistula after Kidney Transplantation.

Introduction: Ureteral complications after kidney transplantation are frequent and may have a negative impact on morbidity and graft function. Treatment modalities include conservative, endourological, and surgical techniques, with variable outcomes. The purpose of this study was to report the incidence, characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of ureteral complications at our center.

[Late kidney transplant complications treatment.].

Objectives: Late kidney transplant complication might compromise graft durability, thus the need for early detection and treatment.

Material And Methods: A PubMed review including the following MeSH terms was included: kidney transplant¨, ¨complications¨, ¨vascular complications¨,¨transplant renal artery stenosis¨, ¨ureteral obstruction¨,¨urologic complications¨, ¨forgotten stent¨, ¨vesicoureteralreflux¨, ¨urinary lithiasis¨ e ¨incisional hernia¨. Metanalysis and systematic review in spanish and English were included from January 2015 till February 2021, as well as relevant selected manuscripts.

Seizures and Neuropsychiatric Toxicity in Patients with Non-Metastatic CRPC Treated with New Antiandrogens: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Recently, enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide have shown benefits in metastasis-free survival in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) patients compared to placebo. Previous evidence about the safety profile of these new androgens is limited. This meta-analysis studies seizure and neuropsychiatric effects of new anti-androgens compared to placebo in nmCRPC patients.

Iterative renal transplantation: our experience on third transplants.

Purpose: To report our experience on third kidney transplantation, analyzing the complications and graft survival rates as compared to previous transplants.

Methods: Retrospective study of third renal transplants performed at our center. Outcomes were compared with a cohort of first and second transplants.

Critical analysis of a multicentric experience with holmium laser enucleation of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia: outcomes and complications of 10 years of routine clinical practice.

Objective: To assess the perioperative outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in real-life practice and investigate the factors influencing the safety and effectiveness of the technique.

Patients And Methods: Critical analysis of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) treated with HoLEP over 10 years of routine practice in three hospitals. Analysed variables included: preoperative characteristics (prostate size, active antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, blood parameters.

Assessment of the influence of transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsies on erectile function: A prospective observational single-center study.

Objectives: To assess the impact of transrectal versus transperineal prostate biopsy on erectile function.

Methods: This was a single-center, observational, prospective study of consecutive patients who underwent a prostate biopsy (transrectal or transperineal/fusion biopsy). Study participants completed the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire before the procedure, and 3 and 6 months after.

Factors Influencing Intraoperative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Large Multicenter Analysis.

Objective: To assess blood loss during holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and investigate the factors influencing it.

Patients And Methods: Analysis of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treated with HoLEP at 3 centers. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were measured before surgery and hospital discharge.

Analysis of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate in a High-Volume Center: The Impact of Concomitant Holmium Laser Cystolitholapaxy.

To assess the influence of holmium laser cystolitholapaxy (HLC) concomitantly with holmium laser prostate enucleation (HoLEP) on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) presenting bladder calculi. We present a retrospective analysis of patients with BPH (with or without concomitant HLC) at three Spanish centers. Intraoperative variables (e.

Healthcare-Associated Infections after Lower Urinary Tract Endoscopic Surgery: Analysis of Risk Factors, Associated Microorganisms and Patterns of Antibiotic Resistance.

Objectives: To review the incidence of healthcare-associated infections/urinary tract infection (UTI), risk factors, microorganisms isolated and antibiotic resistances in patients who underwent lower urinary tract endoscopic surgery (LUTES) in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out including 1,498 patients who undergo LUTES. Patients with and without UTI after surgery were compared.

[Maximal androgen deprivation with abiraterone acetate in hormone sensitive prostate cancer.].

Objectives: The treatment of metastatic prostate cancer has remained unchanged for more than 70 years, based on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In 2015, following the CHAARTED and STAMPEDE trials, it was established that the addition of 6 cycles of docetaxel to ADT was associated with significantly increased survival. In June 2017, the LATITUDE trial and the G arm of the STAMPEDE trial showed that the addition of Abiraterone with Prednisone (5 mg/day) to ADT was also associated with a significant increase in survival in metastatic patients.

[Healthcare-associated urinary tract infections in patients with a urinary catheter: Risk factors, microbiological characteristics and patterns of antibiotic resistance].

Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the most common nosocomial acquired infections, with high resistance rates. CAUTIs are a potentially severe complication in hospitalized patients and imply higher costs. Our aim was to analyze the characteristics of CAUTIs in our Urology department.

Semen Quality Assessment in Fertile Men in Madrid During the Last 3 Decades.

Objective: To evaluate semen quality of men with proven fertility in Spain over the last 3 decades.

Methods: We conduct a retrospective analysis of ejaculate samples of 992 men between 1985 and 2009. All patients had proven fertility as demonstrated by fathering at least 2 children and a semen analysis performed before they underwent vasectomy.

Healthcare-associated infections in a department of urology: incidence and patterns of antibiotic resistance.

Objective: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) constitute a potentially severe complication which implies higher costs. A full knowledge of their microbiological characteristics and risk factors is of paramount importance for adequate management. The purpose of this study was to carry out an analysis of HAIs in patients admitted to a department of urology.
