Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Urinary Bladder Associated with Hypoglycemia: An Unusual Case of Doege-Potter Syndrome.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare mesenchymal tumors, mostly benign. Less than 30 cases have been described for the urinary bladder, 2 of them malignant. These lesions show infrequent clinical and radiological usual features, making the diagnosis difficult.

Evaluation of the Spanish Urological Association quality care indicators in a kidney transplantation programme.

Introduction: Indicators show the presence of a phenomenon and its intensity. They assess the level of quality care and identify potential situations for improvement. Our objective is to assess the 2013 and 2014 quality care indicators of our department's kidney transplantation area.

Interannual variation and host affiliations of endophytic fungi associated with ferns at La Selva, Costa Rica.

Ferns are an ancient and diverse lineage of vascular plants that differ morphologically, chemically and in growth habits from the angiosperms with which they co-occur. We used a culture-based approach coupled with phylogenetic analyses to characterize the incidence, diversity and composition of fungal endophyte assemblages in ferns, with a focus on healthy aboveground tissues of seven species of eupolypods at La Selva, Costa Rica. Endophytes were isolated from every individual plant and were similarly abundant and diverse in frond blades and stalks, in different vegetation types, in epiphytic vs.
