Purpose: To provide data of the incidence and management of common urological malignancies in renal transplant recipients.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospective database from August 1967 to August 2015. A descriptive analysis of the sample was performed.
Erectile dysfunction (ED), a frequent complaint in the primary care setting, is strongly associated with obesity, cigarette smoking and other common cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), lipid disorders and the metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of these cardiovascular disorders is rising at staggering rates in most Latin American countries. ED is a symptom that mainly affects economically productive men (40-70 years of age) potentially causing major psychosocial repercussions and reduced quality of life.

Objective: To assess the mid-term evolution of high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) initially treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and to compare the role of surveillance and postoperative radiotherapy, either adjuvant (aRT) or salvage (sRT).
Methods: Retrospective study of 390 patients with PCa treated with RP at our institution from February 1988 to December 2012. Those in stage pT3 or higher and/or with positive surgical margins (PSM) were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how common erectile dysfunction (ED) is among HIV patients in a clinic in Mexico City and identify associated risk factors.
- About 65.1% of the 109 participants, averaging 39.9 years old, reported experiencing ED, with dyslipidemia being the only significant risk factor identified.
- The findings suggest that ED is prevalent in HIV patients, highlighting the need to consider dyslipidemia as a key risk factor when assessing ED in this population.
Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a unique case of a giant multicystic cystadenoma originating from Cowper's glands in a healthy 41-year-old man who experienced acute urinary retention and had a perineal mass.
- Imaging techniques confirmed the presence of a multicystic tumor, which was successfully removed through en bloc excision, with histological analysis indicating the tumor's benign nature.
- This case highlights the need to consider cystadenomas of Cowper's glands as a potential diagnosis for pelvic cystic tumors, suggesting that surgical excision can both confirm the diagnosis and serve as a curative treatment.
[Long-term renal function in patients with renal-cell carcinoma treated surgically: comparison between radical and partial nephrectomy].
Rev Invest Clin
June 2013
Article Synopsis
- The study compares renal function between radical nephrectomy (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) in renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, focusing on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) changes.
- Analysis included 223 patients and revealed that after surgery, RN resulted in a significant decline in GFR compared to PN, with 63% of RN patients showing decreased GFR after 6 months versus 29% in PN.
- The findings suggest that while both techniques affect renal function, PN leads to better preservation of GFR over time, with PN patients generally maintaining a GFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the 5-year mark.
Objective: To assess the outcome of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) in the radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen.
Material And Methods: 212 patients with clinically localized PCa underwent RP at our institution from 1988 to 2007. SVI (stage pT3bNOMO of the TNM 2002 system) was demonstrated in 40 (18.
Unlabelled: The objective of the present study was to determine the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of vardenafil in the treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).
Material And Methods: This was an open label, prospective and multicentric trial. After a 4-week wash out period, all patients received 20 mg of vardenafil given on demand for 12 weeks.
