A contemporary review of the treatments and challenges associated with penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy including a proposed optimal approach.

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting men worldwide. Despite advancements in understanding prostate anatomy and minimally invasive approaches to surgical treatment, surgery can have significant adverse effects on sexual function. Penile rehabilitation strategies have emerged as a promising approach to mitigate the impact of prostate cancer treatments on erectile function and improve quality of life.

Robotic Sacral Colpopexy Using Autologous Fascia Lata Compared with Mesh.

The objective is to compare robotic sacral colpopexy (RSC) utilizing autologous fascia lata with RSC with synthetic mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We performed a prospective nonrandomized case comparison trial at a single institution. We compared RSC utilizing either synthetic mesh or autologous fascia lata in women with symptomatic POP, stages II through IV.

The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite - 2 Mission: A Global Geolocated Photon Product Derived From the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System.

The Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite - 2 (ICESat-2) observatory was launched on 15 September 2018 to measure ice sheet and glacier elevation change, sea ice freeboard, and enable the determination of the heights of Earth's forests. ICESat-2's laser altimeter, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) uses green (532 nm) laser light and single-photon sensitive detection to measure time of flight and subsequently surface height along each of its six beams. In this paper, we describe the major components of ATLAS, including the transmitter, the receiver and the components of the timing system.

Utilization of Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Patients With Low-Risk Prostate Cancer Treated With Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Introduction: Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is not recommended for low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, the rate of PLND in this population is unknown.

Methods: We queried the National Cancer Data Base for PCa patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy from 2010 to 2013 and stratified them by D'Amico risk classification.

Pharmacokinetic drug evaluation of atezolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is difficult to manage for patients who progress during or after initial chemotherapy regimens. Current regimens offer low response rates with high toxicities. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors may represent a new opportunity for effective management of these patients.

Eczematous diseases of the geriatric population.

Geriatric patients must endure many medical challenges within and from without the integumental system. Clinicians should be comprehensive in treatment and thorough in investigation of any and all dermatologic concerns. Many of these concerns begin with an eczematous lesion and the differential is broad.

Wound care in geriatrics.

Wound care is a crucial aspect in caring for the geriatric population. It is important to recognize a wound when it begins and know the proper treatment once a wound develops. First, it is important to assess the wound and determine the type of wound that is being dealt with.
