Prediction of infection caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: development of a clinical decision-making nomogram.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the population at risk of infection by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms, using clinical criteria.

Materials And Methods: All urine cultures positive for Enterobacteriaceae in a Spanish hospital department from January 2010 to 2014 were reviewed. All isolates with ESBL-positive strains were collected, and isolates received during the first week of each month with ESBL-negative strains from symptomatic patients hospitalized or admitted to the emergency room.

[Adult type granulosa cell testicular tumor. Case report and bibliographic review.].

Objetive: To describe the adult type granulosa cell testicular tumors (classified as sex cordstromal tumor) due to their behavior, hardly known with a small number of cases reported.

Method: We report a new case of a 59-year-old man presenting an adult type granulosa cell tumor of the testis (AGCTT), painless, with a 3.3 centimeter intratesticular heterogeneous mass on ultrasound, with solid and cystic areas.

Comparative study of hybrid laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) partial nephrectomy and conventional multiport laparoscopy.

Objective: To investigate the surgical and oncological outcomes of hybrid laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) in partial nephrectomy with reusable components compared with multiport laparoscopy.

Material And Method: Hybrid LESS technique with auxiliary 3.5mm trocar (n=20) was compared with conventional multiport laparoscopy (n=26) by a prospective, paired, nonrandomized, and comparative study in partially nephrectomized patients.

Efficacy of low-intensity shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Context: The low-intensity shockwave (LISW) therapy is a recently developed modality for treating erectile dysfunction.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of LISW therapy for treating erectile dysfunction as described in the literature.

Acquisition Of Evidence: Two independent reviewers identified studies eligible for a systematic review and meta-analysis of various sources written in English and Spanish, using the databases of PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science.

Two-Port Laparoscopic Reconstructive Surgery of the Urinary Tract with Reusable Umbilical System (Hybrid Less): A Proof of Concept Study.

Objectives: We compared perioperative results and complications of reconstructive surgery of the urinary tract performed using a multichannel platform through the umbilicus and one additional 3.5-mm with a cohort of patients simultaneously treated with conventional 4-port laparoscopy.

Materials And Methods: Matched-pair study comparing perioperative outcomes, postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAPS) and morbidity of 2-port (n = 20) and 4-port (n = 10) laparoscopic reconstructive urological surgery.

Umbilical laparoendoscopic partial cystectomy.

Objective: To present our center's experience in single-port umbilical laparoendoscopic partial cystectomies, in both benign and malignant pathologies. Patient characteristics, perioperative aspects and the surgical techniques used are reviewed.

Material And Method: Since May 2012, five patients have undergone a transumbilical single-port laparoendoscopic partial cystectomy with curved equipment through a reusable multichannel system and a 3.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery with holmium-YAG laser lithotripsy in the primary treatment of renal lithiasis.

Introduction: retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) appears as a safe and effective technique as well as a good therapeutic alternative to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).

Material And Methods: descriptive study in 50 patients surgically treated between November 2012 and April 2013. Demographic, operative and postoperative data as well as early and late complications data were collected.

Treatment for long bulbar urethral strictures with membranous involvement using urethroplasty with oral mucosa graft.

Introduction: Urethroplasty with oral mucosa grafting is the most popular technique for treating nontraumatic bulbar urethral strictures; however, cases involving the membranous portion are usually treated using progressive perineal anastomotic urethroplasty. We assessed the feasibility of performing dorsal (or ventral) graft urethroplasty on bulbar urethral strictures with mainly membranous involvement using a modified Barbagli technique.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective study of 14 patients with bulbomembranous urethral strictures who underwent dilation urethroplasty with oral mucosa graft between 2005 and 2013, performed using a modified technique Barbagli, with proximal anchoring of the graft and securing of the graft to the tunica cavernosa in 12 cases (85.

Comparative study of retrograde intrarenal surgery and micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of intermediate-sized kidney stones.

Objective: Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has proven efficacy with minimal morbidity in the treatment of intermediate-sized kidney stones. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc) for this indication and evaluate its results compared with those of RIRS.

Material And Methods: From September to December 2013, we performed a comparative prospective study between RIRS and microperc, with 20 consecutive patients with intermediate-sized (1-3cm) kidney stones.

Efficacy and safety of fosfomycin-trometamol in the prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy. Prospective randomized comparison with ciprofloxacin.

Objective: Prostate biopsy is the standardized diagnostic method for prostate cancer. However, although there is not a standardized protocol, there are recommendations in order to reduce the incidence of complications. The objective of the present work is to assess the efficacy and safety of antibiotic prophylaxis in the prostate biopsy by comparing two antibiotic regimes: two doses of fosfomycin-trometamol 3g (FMT) every 48 hours with 10 doses of oral ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 hours during 5 days.

Analysis of the factors involved in the failure of urethroplasty in men.

Introduction: Outcome of urethroplasty techniques in our environment and risk factors for recurrence of stenosis in these patients are studied in this paper.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study on men with urethral strictures treated with urethroplasty in the period 2000-2012. Maximum flow (Qmax), post-void residual (PVR) urine and patient perception of voiding were obtained pre- and postoperatively.

SU-E-T-264: New Concrete Designed and Evaluation for Megavoltage X Radiotherapy Facilities (CONTEK-RFH2).

Purpose: The most common material for shielding is concrete, which can be made using various materials of different densities as aggregates. New techniques in radiotherapy, as IMRT and VMAT, require more monitor units and it is important to develop specifically designed shielding materials.
