A Scoping Review of the Empirical Literature on Peer Support for People Living with HIV

2021

People living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy need support related to linkage to care and self-management in everyday life. Peer support has been found to provide varied support according to the unique needs of the group. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of research on peer support provided to people living with HIV. A search was conducted in eight databases until May 2021, and two reviewers independently screened all identified studies. We sorted the included studies into categories and conducted descriptive analyses. For this communication, we included 34 studies representing three study categories: the experiences of peer support (n = 23), program descriptions (…

Steroid hormone receptors in the female urogenital tract

1994

The increasing clinical use of estrogens in the treatment of stress-incontinent women caused us to examine receptor patterns in the female bladder and urethral tissue, and to characterize possible receptors by means of Scatchard plot analysis, competition experiments and density gradient centrifugation.

Urethroplasty with dorsal buccal mucosa graft. Is it still the method of choice in long term urethral stenosis?

2017

The aim of our work was to evaluate the long-term changes in symptoms (median 42 months) and to analyze data for any negative predictive factors for the application of the procedure, in patients who underwent to urethroplasty with dorsal buccal mucosa graft. During the period from 2010 to 2015 27 patients were examined. Than they underwent urethroplasty using dorsal buccal mucosa graft (graft of 4 x 2.5 cm). The evaluation of symptoms has been addressed through the application of the IPSS Quality of Life Questionnaire (International Prostatic Symptoms Score) and the evaluation of urinary flow has been carried out by a comparative analysis between the pre- and post-operative uroflowmetry. As…

Splenogonadal Fusion: A Genetic Disorder?—Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

2014

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is fusion between the spleen and gonad, epididymis or vas. We treated a patient with scrotal mass. A discontinuous fusion between the spleen and epididymis was found: after frozen section mass was excised sparing testis. Although rare, the splenogonadal fusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses in children, and orchiectomy should be avoided. Moreover, examination of siblings showed a brother affected from accessory spleen. This finding, not reported previously to our knowledge, suggests a possible familiarity of this disorder.

Objective. A number of evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and management of prostate cancer have been published. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adherence of Italian urologists to the guidelines concerning the preoperative imaging staging of prostate cancer.Methods. In October 2007 a multicentric observational perspective study called Multicentric Italian Report on Radical prostatectomy Outcome and Research (MIRROR) was started in 135 Italian urology centers. Recruitment was closed in December 2008 and 2,408 cases were collected. In this paper we have taken into consideration all examinations carried out for preoperative imaging staging, evaluating compliance with the recommen…

Chirurgische Option zur Behandlung von Interstitieller Zystitis

2007

Sind die konservativen therapeutischen Möglichkeiten zur Behandlung der Interstitiellen Zystitis ausgeschöpft, stehen verschiedene operative Methoden zur Verfügung. Denervierungsoperationen werden heutzutage weitestgehend als ungeeignet angesehen, gute Erfolge werden mit der supra- oder subtrigonalen Zystektomie und Blasenaugmentation erzielt. Als ultima ratio gilt die Zystourethrektomie mit heterotoper Harnableitung.
