A Study of Psychological Features in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Aim: There is a lack of multidisciplinary studies examining the link between psychological factors and glycemic control in individuals with chronic illnesses. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between psychological factors such as resilience, perceived stress, emotional regulation, aggressiveness, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, the study seeks to determine the predictive value of perceived stress and resilience on HbA1c levels and to explore the role of anger expression and emotion regulation strategies in glycemic control, comparing diabetic patients to healthy controls.

Rare case of enteric type of urachal adenocarcinoma: A case report.

Urachal adenocarcinomas, constituting 10 % of bladder adenocarcinomas, pose a significant challenge with limited literature. A 43-year-old male presented with haematuria and abdominal pain, leading to surgical intervention for a 13 cm pelvic tumor. Histopathology identified an intestinal-type primary urachal adenocarcinoma, staged as IIIA, no recurrence on follow-up.

Bladder echinococcosis presented by hydatiduria - Casuistic case.

Human echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. The two most important forms of the disease in humans are cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) and alveolar echinococcosis. Humans are infected through ingestion of parasite eggs in contaminated food, water, or soil, or through direct contact with animal hosts.

Changes in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Patients Affected by Covid-19.

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a histological diagnosis characterized by an increase in the number of epithelial and stromal cells in the transitional zone of the prostate gland. The clinical manifestation of BPH is associated with the appearance of so-called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can also be a consequence of other conditions not related to the prostate. Covid-19, also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was discovered as a disease in late 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China.

Paratesticular well-differentiated liposarcoma initially diagnosed as fibrous pseudotumour.

Paratesticular tumours are relatively rare and mostly of the mesenchymal origin. Due to its rarity, general surgical pathologists might have limited experience on the diagnostic entities and relevant differential diagnoses related to mesenchymal paratesticular tumours. This may likely cause diagnostic difficulties in a daily pathology practice.

Sarcomatoid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis - a Report of Two Cases.

Background: Sarcomatoid (spindle cell) squamous cell carcinoma is a rare, highgrade, aggressive tumor consisting of the squamous cell carcinoma admixed with the malignant spindle cell (sarcomatoid) elements. These tumors are relatively uncommon in the genitourinary system and particularly in the penis.

Materials And Methods: Two sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinomas of the penis were diagnosed in our hospital between 2012 and 2015.

Diagnostic Value of ERG in Prostate Needle Biopsies Containing Minute Cancer Foci.

Background: Prostate carcinoma (PC) is the second most diagnosed cancer in men population worldwide. The small amount of the tissue in prostate needle biopsy is often sufficient for the correct interpretation. Novel antibodies, as ERG, could add to the diagnostic value of IHC study in analysing difficult core biopsies.
