Effects of therapy in experimental models of Peyronie's disease: a scoping review.

Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrotic disorder affecting the penile tunica albugínea, with unclear pathophysiology despite centuries of recognition.

Aim: This scoping review maps the effects of interventions in basic PD research, synthesizing evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies to guide future investigation.

Methods: In October-November 2023, a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Science of Web, and Scopus, following SRYCLE's guidelines.

Treatment with stromal vascular fraction of Peyronie's disease - a study protocol.

Introduction: Peyronie´s disease is the result of an acquired fibrotic plaque in the tunica albuginea. It remains unknown why the condition appears, but it seems to affect up to 9% of all men. It can result in a debilitating curvature of the erect penis, which has extensive impact on the quality of life for many men.

Peyronie's disease questionnaire: translation into Danish and cultural adaptation.

Background: Peyronie's disease has an impact on men's mental and physical health.

Aim: We sought to translate the Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire into Danish, adapt it to the Danish cultural setting, and test it in a Danish population.

Methods: Translation of the Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire was performed according to the guidelines for adapting health status measures for use in languages other than the source language by Beaton et al.

[Treatment of andrological conditions in men with spinal cord injury].

Men with spinal cord injuries often suffer from erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, infertility and hypogonadism. However, efficient and safe treatments exist as summarised in this review. Erectile dysfunction can be treated step by step with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, intracavernous injections and penile implant surgery.

[Diagnosis and treatment of male infertility].

A male factor plays a role in half of infertility cases. The causes are summarised in this review, and they include hormonal disturbances, genetic alterations, testicular disease, obstruction, and ejaculatory dysfunction. Evaluation may reveal a correctable cause or uncover underlying disease.

[Varicocele testis].

In this review, we discuss varicocele testis, which is found in 15% of men from the general population, but more frequently in infertile populations. It can cause physical symptoms or impaired fertility. Varicocele severity is graded 1-3 by clinical examination, and increasing grade is associated with poorer semen quality.

[Ejaculatory dysfunction].

This review summarises the current knowledge of ejaculatory dysfunction, which is a group of prevalent sexual disorders with a substantial impact on sexual health of men and their partners. A thorough medical history is the most important evaluation tool. Several treatments for premature ejaculation are available; however, a successful treatment outcome depends on pre-treatment alignment of expectations.

[Organic erectile dysfunction].

This review covers the possible treatment modalities of organic erectile dysfunction (ED). About 30% of men over 40 years of age suffer from ED. At diagnosis, organic ED should be distinguished from psychological ED, and it is crucial to identify underlying diseases including endocrine disorders, neurological problems and cardiovascular diseaplase.

Initial experience with hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy: a single-centre experience over 5 years.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate outcome after hand-assisted live donor nephrectomy with a retroperitoneal approach during a 5 year period.

Materials And Methods: All donor nephrectomies at Odense University Hospital, Denmark, from January 2008 to December 2012 were identified retrospectively, and the medical records were examined.

Results: In total, 108 patients were enrolled: 68 females, with a median age of 50 years (range 24-68 years), and 40 males, with a median age of 51 years (32-70 years).

[Fistula as cause of cyclic haematuria in a woman].

We report a case of a 32-year-old female with a vesicouterine fistula (Youssef's syndrome). She had had a low segment caesarean section and subsequently developed cyclic haematuria and menorrhoea. There was a significant delay in diagnosis of the fistula because of problems with visualising the fistula.

[Are ice-skating ramps dangerous?].

Introduction: Before the new temporary ice rink in Esbjerg was built, opponents feared that it would disproportionately increase the number of traumas needing medical care at the hospital. The reason for this concern was that it was built with ramps.

Material And Methods: During the winter of 2004 an estimated 30,000 people visited the two ice rinks in Esbjerg.
