Article Synopsis
- Focal cryotherapy is an effective treatment for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, aiming to minimize side effects while maintaining cancer control.
- A study involving 122 patients showed a high three-year failure-free survival rate of 90.5%, with outcomes differing slightly based on risk categories.
- Low rates of incontinence and erectile dysfunction were noted, but the study's limitations include a lack of long-term outcome data.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Onaboulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in men with idiopathic detrusor overactivity, comparing results with women to fill the gap in prior research.
- Data was collected from men undergoing BTX-A injections for overactive bladder, assessing quality of life via surveys before and after treatment, along with tracking complications like urinary retention and infections.
- Results showed significant quality of life improvements for both men and women after treatment, but women experienced greater benefits; urinary complications were similar across sexes.
Objectives: To systematically review erectile function (EF) outcomes following primary whole gland (WG) and focal ablative therapies for localized prostate cancer to ascertain whether the treatment modality or intended treatment volume affects the time taken to recover baseline EF.
Method And Materials: A systematic review was performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis statement. Inclusion criteria were men with localized prostate cancer treated with primary, ablative therapy.
Objectives: This exploratory pilot study aimed to evaluate whether adding imaging biomarkers to conventional staging improves complete excision rates after undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) in the United Kingdom for patients who have not undergone population prostate specific antigen screening. We primarily considered estimates of lesion volume and location based on computer-aided analysis of ultrasound (US) raw radiofrequency (RF) data acquired during trans-rectal ultrasound. The imaging analysis device used had been shown to accurately detect tumor loci within the prostate in previous studies.

Epididymo-orchitis (EO) can be acute (less than 6 weeks' duration), sub-acute, or chronic if persisting for more than three months and typically presents with testicular pain and swelling. Sexually transmitted infection (STI) is the most common cause in younger men and urinary tract pathogens are the more common culprits in older men.
