An Extremely Rare Case of a 24-Year-Old Female Diagnosed With High-Grade Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma in the Bladder.

Bladder cancer most commonly affects older adults. Although extremely rare, it can still be detected in the younger population. Bladder cancer often exhibits distinct behavior in these cases, typically manifesting as a low-grade, non-muscle-invasive disease.

Hyper-Interleukin-6 Protects Against Renal Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury-A Mouse Model.

Most of the ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR-I) occurs during reperfusion and is mediated by the immune system. In this study we determined whether immunomodulation with hyper-Interleukin-6 (a recombinant designer cytokine composed of interleukin-6 linked to its soluble receptor) is protective against IR-I in mice kidneys. Hyper-Interleukin-6 (HIL-6) was administered by plasmid DNA transfection to 10 male mice.

Transurethral Prostatectomy Before or After External Beam Radiotherapy: Complications and Reoperation Rates.

Purpose: Patients treated by external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for localized carcinoma of the prostate (CAP) often suffer from urinary obstruction. While most patients can be treated medically, some require transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) for alleviation of obstruction. The consequences of combing EBRT and TURP are controversial.

Pregnancy Rates after Testicular Torsion.

Purpose: To our knowledge the effect of testicular torsion on the pregnancy rate is unknown. In this study we focused on the pregnancy rate, which is the ultimate index of fertility status.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of 273 patients who presented to our emergency room with testicular torsion between 1994 and 2014.
