Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Knowledge Deficits Among Male Urology Patients.

Objective: To measure patient knowledge about Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and identify factors associated with knowledge deficiencies among those newly presenting to our urology clinic.

Methods: Adult men presenting as new patients to our institution's urology clinic regardless of chief complaint were invited to complete a 26-item multiple choice questionnaire to assess basic knowledge about BPH, related symptomatology, and treatment options prior to their initial consultation. Responses were correlated to demographic variables using ANOVA and multivariable linear modeling.

Perspectives on Drug Product Design Among Patients with Lung Cancer in the United Kingdom.

Introduction: The use of oral anticancer medications has become more prevalent in cancer therapy. This is particularly the case in the management of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, when the treatment delivery interaction between the patient and the healthcare provider is removed, the risk of non-adherence increases.

Outcomes of Inflatable Penile Prosthesis following Radical Cystectomy: A Matched Cohort Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes of inflatable-penile-prosthesis (IPP) implantation after radical-cystectomy compared to other etiologies of erectile dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: All IPPs within the past 20 years in a large regional health system were reviewed, and erectile dysfunction (ED) etiology was determined as radical-cystectomy, radical-prostatectomy, or organic/other ED. Cohorts were generated by 1:3 propensity score match using age, body mass index, and diabetes status.

Comparing two different family-based childhood obesity treatment programmes in a medically underserved region: Effectiveness, engagement and implementation outcomes from a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Access to evidence- and family-based childhood obesity (FBCO) treatment interventions is a challenge, especially in underserved regions where childhood obesity disparities persist.

Objective: Compare two 6-month FBCO treatment interventions, iChoose (high intensity, parent-child dyads) and Family Connections (low intensity, parents only), in one underserved US region.

Methods: This unblinded, RCT reports on effectiveness and implementation outcomes.

Assets and Challenges to Recruiting and Engaging Families in a Childhood Obesity Treatment Research Trial: Insights From Academic Partners, Community Partners, and Study Participants.

There is need for the childhood obesity treatment literature to identify effective recruitment and engagement strategies for rural communities that are more likely to lack supportive infrastructure for healthy lifestyles and clinical research relative to their urban counterparts. This community case study examines recruitment and engagement strategies from a comparative effectiveness research (CER) trial of two family-based childhood obesity (FBCO) treatment interventions conducted in a medically underserved, rural region. Guided by a Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and systems-based approach, the primary aim was to analyze interviews from academic partners, community partners, and parent study participants for recruitment and engagement assets, challenges, and lessons learned.

The Role of UK Oncogene-Focussed Patient Groups in Supporting and Educating Patients with Oncogene-Driven NSCLC: Results from a Patient-Devised Survey.

To meet the needs of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an oncogene-driver, patients have organised into support groups. These groups are building partnerships to provide support and education and to help patients access treatment through sharing information and promoting advocacy. Here, we report findings from a fully anonymised survey conducted in 2020 across the membership of three Facebook-based patient groups in the UK (EGFR Positive UK, ALK Positive UK and ROS-1 Support Group, n = 465).

Perioperative Educational Interventions and Contemporary Sexual Function Outcomes of Radical Prostatectomy.

Introduction: Men undergoing prostatectomy can have unrealistic preoperative expectations regarding sexual function after surgery and may desire more education on recovery and symptom management.

Aim: To present contemporary data on recovery of sexual function after prostatectomy and characterize how it is impacted by perioperative patient educational interventions.

Methods: A comprehensive review of the English-language literature available by PubMed search.

Penile Prosthesis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients-A Matched Cohort Study.

Objective: To determine whether patients with solid organ transplant (SOT) are at higher risk of developing complications after inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed outcomes data for all patients with SOT who underwent IPP placement at our institution. A cohort of age-matched IPP recipients without SOT were used as controls.

Predicting success after artificial urinary sphincter: which preoperative factors drive patient satisfaction postoperatively?

Background: To determine which preoperative factors drive patient-reported quality of life (QoL) after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation.

Methods: Men receiving AUS after prostate cancer treatment were identified from a prospectively collected dataset. Preoperative factors were recorded during the initial incontinence consultation.

Foley or Fix: A Comparative Analysis of Reparative Procedures at the Time of Explantation of Artificial Urinary Sphincter for Cuff Erosion.

Objective: To examine artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion intraoperative management methods: Foley catheter placement, abbreviated urethroplasty (AU), or mobilization with primary urethral anastomosis (PA). We reviewed these options to compare postoperative complications and probability of AUS reimplantation.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of patients treated for AUS cuff erosion from 2005 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed.

Genitourinary manifestations of sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease is a common genetic disorder characterized by sickling of red blood cells under conditions of reduced oxygen tension. In turn, sickling leads to intravascular hemolysis and vaso-occlusive events with subsequent tissue ischemia-reperfusion injury affecting multiple organs, including the genitourinary system. Our review of the genitourinary manifestations of sickle cell disease focuses on sickle cell nephropathy, priapism, and other genitourinary complications such as papillary necrosis and renal medullary carcinoma.

Outcomes for Organ-Preserving Surgery for Penile Cancer.

Aim: Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (PC) has traditionally been treated with partial penectomy with a 2-cm margin. More conservative resection margins have been reported to have no effect on oncologic control, but there is no consensus in the literature regarding functional outcomes after organ-preserving surgery for PC.

Methods: Six patients meeting inclusion criteria were retrospectively identified to have received organ-sparing surgery for PC at the Cleveland Clinic from 2003 to 2012.
