Urology Residency Training in Italy: Results of the First National Survey

2018

Background: Numerous surveys have been performed to determine the competence and the confidence of residents. However, there is no data available on the condition of Italian residents in urology. Objective: To investigate the status of training among Italian residents in urology regarding scientific activity and surgical exposure. Design, setting, and participants: A web-based survey that included 445 residents from all of the 25 Italian Residency Programmes was conducted between September 2015 and November 2015. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The main outcomes were represented by scientific activity, involvement in surgical procedures, and overall satisfaction. Results and …

Murdered women’s children: A social emergency and gloomy reality

2018

Femicide, defined as the killing of females by males because they are females, is be-coming recognized worldwide as an im-portant ongoing manifestation of gender inequality. Actual or imminent separation, abuser’s access to firearms, prior threats with a weapon, prior threats to kill the victim, a stepchild in the household, prob-lematic alcohol and illicit drug use, as well as mental health problems, are associated with a substantially higher risk of femi-cide. Little is known about the number of orphaned children who have instantane-ously lost both parents. Sparse attention has been focused on children whose moth-er was murdered: these are difficult cases for child psychiatry teams. Decis…

Are polymorphisms of the β3 -adrenoceptor gene associated with an altered bladder function?

2012

Aims As the presence of a Trp64Arg polymorphism of the gene encoding the β3-adrenoceptor (B3AR) has been linked to the presence of overactive bladder, we investigated whether additional polymorphisms are detectable in this gene and explore their relationships parameters related to lower urinary tract function. Methods The coding region and adjacent stretches of the B3AR gene was sequenced in 91 patients. In total, 1015 patients from a single academic hospital were genotyped for the presence of two single nucleotide polymorphisms. Symptom scores and parameters from pressure-flow studies were analyzed relative to genotype in the B3AR gene. Results No frequent novel polymorphisms were detected…

High-urgency kidney transplantation in the Eurotransplant Kidney Allocation System : success or waste of organs? The Eurotransplant 15-year all-centr…

2016

Item does not contain fulltext BACKGROUND: In the Eurotransplant Kidney Allocation System (ETKAS), transplant candidates can be considered for high-urgency (HU) status in case of life-threatening inability to undergo renal replacement therapy. Data on the outcomes of HU transplantation are sparse and the benefit is controversial. METHODS: We systematically analysed data from 898 ET HU kidney transplant recipients from 61 transplant centres between 1996 and 2010 and investigated the 5-year patient and graft outcomes and differences between relevant subgroups. RESULTS: Kidney recipients with an HU status were younger (median 43 versus 55 years) and spent less time on the waiting list compared…

Harninkontinenz beim Mann – Ursachen, Diagnostik und Therapie

2017

Zusammenfassung. Dieser Übersichtsartikel beleuchtet den aktuellen Kenntnisstand zur Ätiologie, Diagnostik und Therapie der Harninkontinenz des Mannes. In der Ätiologie der Harninkontinenz beim Mann spielt die radikale Prostatektomie eine herausragende Rolle, aber auch das benigne Prostatasyndrom, neurologische Erkrankungen oder metabolische Störungen können zu einer Harninkontinenz beim Mann führen. In der Diagnostik ist neben der Basisdiagnostik eine qualifizierte urodynamische Beurteilung unabdingbar, um die zugrunde liegenden pathophysiologischen Mechanismen aufzudecken und Chancen und Risiken der verfügbaren Therapie- bzw. Operationstechniken abschätzen zu können. Die Primärtherapie d…

Genetic profiling in der Diagnostik des hereditären Prostatakarzinoms – wo stehen wir?

2018

ZusammenfassungProstatakrebs weist im Vergleich zu anderen Tumorentitäten ein heterogenes genetisches Profil auf. Dementsprechend sind auch Mutationen, die das Prostatakarzinomrisiko erhöhen, vielfältig. Manche genetische Varianten fallen bei der Risikoerhöhung nur milde ins Gewicht. Andere Genmutationen (BRCA1 /2; HOXB13) erhöhen das Risiko jedoch teils erheblich. Insgesamt ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen nicht familiär vorbelasteten Mann, ein Träger von Mutationen zu sein, welche mit einem erhöhten PCa-Risiko assoziiert sind, niedrig. Ist aber die familiäre Belastung durch in jungem Alter erkrankte Verwandte oder eine bereits bekannte Mutation in der Familie vorhanden, so steigt auch…

PCA3 como biomarcador de segunda línea en un programa de screening oportunista prospectivo, aleatorizado y controlado

2017

Resumen Objetivos Determinar el comportamiento del PCA3 como un marcador de segunda linea en un programa de cribado oportunista de cancer de prostata (CaP) y su comparacion con la calculadora de riesgo 3 del cribado aleatorizado europeo en cancer de prostata (ERSPC RC-3). Material y metodos Un total de 5.199 hombres de 40-75 anos se hicieron la prueba del antigeno prostatico especifico (PSA) y un tacto rectal (TR). Aquellos con TR normal y PSA ≥ 3 ng/ml se realizaron un PCA3. Todos los hombres con PCA3 ≥ 35 se hicieron biopsia inicial (BxI) —12 cilindros—. Aquellos con PCA3 Resultados PCA3 se testo en 838 hombres (16,1%). En los grupos PCA3(+) y PCA3(–), las tasas de deteccion global de CaP…
