Introduction: Spontaneous bladder rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition. Its treatment often requires invasive strategies, mainly surgical closure, or cystectomy. We present a case where we successfully treated bladder rupture employing a less invasive technique of transurethral debridement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Patients And Methods: This study had a randomized, prospective, single-blind design and included patients aged >20 years who underwent cystoscopy in either of two outpatient clinics between September 2015 and November 2021. The patients were allocated to a sterile group or a non-sterile group.
Article Synopsis
- Small-cell carcinoma of the prostate has a poor prognosis, making treatment options uncertain for advanced cases.
- A 68-year-old man with prostate cancer experienced disease progression despite initial treatments; however, a biopsy confirmed small-cell carcinoma after he developed enlarged lymph nodes.
- Treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and a PARP-2 inhibitor, olaparib, led to partial remission for 8 months, suggesting that PARP-2 inhibition could enhance survival in these patients.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine how local radiotherapy (RT) affects survival rates and local symptom events in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer in Japan.
- Among the 2829 patients, those receiving RT had significantly longer PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to those who did not receive RT.
- Additionally, patients in the RT group experienced fewer severe local events, suggesting that adding RT to standard treatment could improve outcomes and reduce complications even in patients with advanced disease.
Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) which are administered for many cancers. There are many irAEs such as endocrine abnormalities, interstitial lung disease, and colitis. However, irAEs associated with type 2 (T2) inflammation are less known.
