Incidence and treatment of malignant tumors of the genitourinary tract in renal transplant recipients.

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 therapy in countries where implant is economically not feasible.

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.

[Comparison between surveillance, adjuvant radiotherapy, or salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in stage pT3 or higher and/or positive surgical margins].

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.

Erectile Dysfunction Among HIV Patients Undergoing Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy: Dyslipidemia as a Main Risk Factor.

Objective: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) in HIV patients from the HIV clinic of a tertiary referral center in Mexico City.

Design: Prevalence was obtained from cross-sectional studies, and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), a standardized method, was used to assess ED.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in the HIV clinic.

Giant multicystic cystadenoma of Cowper's gland: a case report.

We report what to our knowledge is the first case of a giant multicystic cystadenoma of the Cowper's glands. An otherwise healthy 41-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention. Physical examination showed a perineal mass.

[Long-term renal function in patients with renal-cell carcinoma treated surgically: comparison between radical and partial nephrectomy].

Purpose: To compare the renal function (RF) in patients with renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) treated by radical (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN) and to assess the impact of the two surgical techniques in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the database of patients with renal tumors treated surgically. RF was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively and compared between both techniques.

[Survival after radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer and seminal vesicle invasion].

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.

[Efficacy and safety of vardenafil in patients with erectile dysfunction. Results of the Mexican Multicentric Study].

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.
