Article Abstract
We present four cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the transplant ureter (TCCtu). In three cases, localized tumor resection and a variety of reconstructive techniques were possible. Transplant nephrectomy with cystectomy was performed as a secondary treatment in one locally excised case. Transplant nephroureterectomy was performed as primary treatment in one case. The role of oncogenic viruses and genetic fingerprinting to determine the origin of TCCtu are described. Our cases and a systematic literature review illustrate the surgical, nephrological, and oncological challenges of this uncommon but important condition.

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary tract appears more commonly among the transplant population. The increased incidence of TCC has been primarily associated with the male gender, BK virus (BKV), and smoking. We report a case series and comprehensive review of the literature.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates clinical and oncological outcomes as well as renal function in patients who underwent radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for aggressive bladder cancer.
- Out of 156 patients, 114 had high-grade transitional cell carcinoma, with 69.7% experiencing cancer recurrence post-surgery, mostly at distant sites.
- The findings indicate a positive overall survival rate of 66.67% at 5 years, while pre-operative kidney function significantly affects post-operative renal outcomes.

Objectives: There is accumulating evidence that blood pressure management might be associated with end-organ dysfunction after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to investigate the impact of intraoperative hypotension (IOH) on adverse neurologic outcomes and mortality.
Design: A single-center retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Survival of tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC), used widely in children, is complicated by infections and catheter dysfunction. In resource limited settings, where risk of complications could be higher and waiting period for transplantation longer, catheter survival determines patient survival. This study was conducted to determine infection free catheter survival rates, incidence of catheter failure and associated risk factors.

Better knowledge about the possible role of genetic factors in modulating the response to multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, including rehabilitation, known to promote neural plasticity, could improve the standard of care for this disease. () gene polymorphisms are associated with MS risk, probably because of the role played by vitamin D in regulating inflammatory and reparative processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the most important functional SNPs ( (/), (/), and (/)) with functional outcome in MS patients undergoing multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation (MDR) treatment, in order to determine whether genetic profiling might be useful to identify subjects with a higher chance of recovery.
