Nursing Management-Associated Factors Associated with Urinary Tract Infection in Residents from Nursing Home Based on LTCfocus Database
Conclusions: Nursing homes with more females, White people, and patients with bladder incontinence, hypertension, or daily pain should be cared more and the number of occupied beds and admissions should be controlled to reduce the occurrence of UTI.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Retropubic TFS Minisling for Postprostatectomy Male Incontinence: First Report
Conclusions: The 7-mm-wide TFS minisling is the first retropubic minisling for postprostatectomy urinary incontinence. It differs significantly from transobturator male operations surgically and in modus operandi. As in the female, reconstruction of the PPL alone was sufficient to cure/improve SUI, suggesting that preservation of the PPL is of critical importance during retropubic radical prostatectomy.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Patient Compliance in Assessing Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures after Urologic Surgery
Conclusion: Acceptable compliance rates can be achieved with ePROMs following urologic surgery. Several factors influence compliance and should be considered when setting-up ePROM surveys.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Bladder Neck Contracture with Hem-o-Lok Clips Migration after Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Hem-o-lok clips are widely used in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, clips-related complications have been reported, including intravesical migration. Here, we share a 60-year-old male case with newly diagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma. With an unfavorable intermediate risk, he was admitted for RARP. He was discharged from hospital without any immediate complications. However, he reported progressive dysuria and slow urine stream 6 months after surgery. Cystoscopy showed severe bladder neck contracture (BNC), and 2 Hem-o-lok clips were found intravesically and removed during bladder neck incision. Sub...

Comparison of Urine Flow Cytometry on the UF-1000i System and Urine Culture of Urine Samples from Urological Patients
Conclusion: Counting bacteria with UFC is an accurate and rapid method to determine significant bacteriuria in urological patients and is superior to dipstick analysis or indirect surrogate parameters such as leukocyturia. When UFC is available, we recommend it to be used for the diagnosis of bacteriuria over findings obtained by dipstick analysis.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Decreasing Number of Urodynamics in Urological and Gynaecological Clinics Reflects Decreased Importance for Surgical Indications: German Population-Based Data from 2013 to 2019
Conclusion: UDS appear to be less important in the indication for surgery. Despite high resource expenditure and low remuneration, the decrease in urodynamics in the outpatient sector is less pronounced, indicating a trend to perform UDS in an outpatient setting.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

PSA and PSA Kinetics as Predictors for 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Positivity in Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Conclusion: PSA and PSA kinetics are unlikely to be associated with18F-fluciclovine PET/CT positivity in patients with BCR, and none of these serum biomarkers might be used as single predictors of PET/CT detection. Larger studies might be needed to evaluate the role of different predictors.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Electromotive Drug Administration of Mitomycin C (EMDA/MMC) versus Intravesical Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Gu érin (BCG) in Intermediate and High Risk Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that EMDA/MMC and BCG are safe and reproducible approaches as adjuvant treatment in NMIBC. EMDA/MMC permits to achieve a fine oncological management as adjuvant treatment in NMIBC, which is not less than that obtained with BCG.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

45,X/46,XY Mosaicism with Male Phenotype: Case Report
Mixed gonadal dysgenesis is the most common chromosomal abnormality with ambiguous genitalia, defined as a 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. It can present with a normal male phenotype, ambiguous genitalia, or features of Turner syndrome. A 14-year-old patient was referred to the genetics clinic due to hypospadia, cryptorchidism, and aortic coarctation. During the physical examination, short stature, webbed neck, and Blashko lines on his back were noted. He had a previous karyotype reported as normal. However, due to an inadequate evolution and a low resolution on the previous test, a higher resolution karyotype was performed, identif...

How Many Cores Should Be Sampled during Systematic Prostate Biopsy in Case of Negative Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging? Analysis of 274 Men with Clinical Suspicion of Prostate Cancer
Conclusions: Twelve-core SB still has the highest detection rate of any PCa and CSPCa compared to reduced biopsy protocols. If the investigator and patient agree – based on individual risk calculation – to perform a biopsy, this SB should contain at least 12 cores regardless of PSA density.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)
