A Rare Cause of Autoinflation after Penile Prosthesis Insertion: Case Series and Systematic Review.

Background: In 2016, we reported the first case of high flow priapism and arteriocavernosal fistula caused by penile prosthesis insertion that mimicked device autoinflation.

Aim: To raise awareness amongst implanters, we describe further cases from our institution and perform a systematic review of the literature to understand the rarity of this phenomenon.

Methods: Patient demographics, management and outcomes were extracted retrospectively.

The Use of Penile Traction Devices for Peyronie's Disease: Position Statements from the European Society for Sexual Medicine.

Introduction: Penile traction therapy (PTT) aims to non-surgically reduce curvature, enhance girth, and recover lost length. Available clinical practice guidelines however lack clear recommendations regarding their use.

Aim: To present a comprehensive review and recommendation regarding the available evidence to the use of PTT in Peyronie's disease (PD).

Restoration of the Lost Obscured Coronal Sulcus: A Novel Surgical Technique for Penile Lichen Sclerosus with Severe Preputial Adhesions.

Background: Lichen sclerosus (LS) may cause the glans and prepuce to become fused, making a standard circumcision impossible. Most authorities recommend excision of the fused area with glans resurfacing, although partial circumcision is often performed.

Objective: To evaluate an alternative technique that preserves the fused area and allows a complete circumcision without grafting.

Laser-Based Devices for Female Genitourinary Indications: Position Statements From the European Society for Sexual Medicine (ESSM).

Background: Laser-based technologies have been commercially marketed as "wonder treatments" without a sufficient and adequate body of evidence. In addition, on July 30, 2018, the U.S.

Radiofrequency-Based Devices for Female Genito-Urinary Indications: Position Statements From the European Society of Sexual Medicine.

Introduction: Radiofrequency (RF)-based treatment has been introduced as an esthetic alternative treatment for various medical indications without the scientific backup of a satisfactory body of evidence. Furthermore, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a warning regarding the safety of energy-based technologies for indications such as vaginal "rejuvenation," cosmetic vaginal treatment, vaginal conditions related to menopause, and symptoms of urinary incontinence and sexual function on July 30, 2018.

Aim: To perform a thorough review of the existing literature regarding RF-based vaginal devices for the treatment of female genitourinary indications and summarize the evidence available in a few short statements.

Floppy Glans-Classification, Diagnosis and Treatment.

Introduction: Glans hypermobility presents a rarely observed complication of penile prosthesis implantation. It may result in patient dissatisfaction because of painful intercourse, difficulties during penetrative sex, and a poor cosmetic result. This problem may prevent the patient from using an otherwise fully functional implant.

Which patients with ischaemic priapism require further investigation for malignancy?

Ischaemic priapism (IP) is characterised by a persistent, painful penile erection lasting for >4 h. Many causes of IP have been identified including haematological dyscrasias (particularly, sickle cell disease), drugs and rarely malignancy. There are also a large proportion of men, in which no aetiology is identified.

Evaluation of the role of downregulation of SNF5/INI1 core subunit of SWI/SNF complex in clear cell renal cell carcinoma development.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1), and mutations in () gene. Additionally, in about 40% of ccRCC cases the mutation in () gene coding for a non-core subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex was found suggesting potential impairment of this complex function in ccRCC. In this study we assessed the extent to which the core SWI/SNF complex subunit - INI1 (hSNF5/SMARCB1) is affected in ccRCC and whether it has any consequences on the development of this type of cancer.

Primary dorsal buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures in patients with lichen sclerosus.

Purpose: To report our ongoing experience with dorsal buccal mucosa graft (BMG) urethroplasty for the primary repair of anterior urethral strictures in patients with lichen sclerosus (LS).

Patients And Methods: A total of 32 men with LS underwent BMG urethroplasty from January 2010 to September 2012. In 27 patients, stricture was limited to the penile urethra, while in five patients, both bulbar and penile urethra were involved.

Phospholipid composition and electric charge in healthy and cancerous parts of human kidneys.

Phospholipids are ubiquitous in nature and are essential for the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Their structural and functional properties are pivotal for the survival of the cell. In this study the phospholipids of healthy and cancerous human renal tissues from the same patients are compared with special reference to the electric charge of the membrane.
