So far, studies evaluating occurrence infected or recovered are scarce included a limited number participants.A...
Background/Purpose: to assess the inter-reader agreement of PIFAB (Prostate Imaging after Focal Ablation) score, a new MRI-based standardized system for evaluating post-focal therapy prostate mpMRI, among radiologists in single large cohort patients treated with focal (HIFU) tertiary care referral University Hospital. Methods: In total, 68 consecutive who underwent HIFU were included this single-center retrospective observational study. A total 109 post-HIFU follow-up mpMRIs evaluated by...
There is evidence that, after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, male reproductive function and semen quality may be damaged OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a panel of inflammatory mediators in patients recovered from disease 2019.Sexually active men with previous infection proven recovery 2019 were enrolled prospective cohort study. Clinical, uro-andrological data specimens prospectively collected. For previously hospitalized patients, on serum markers retrospectively...
Combination therapies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which include the addition of an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor and/or docetaxel to deprivation therapy, have been a game changer management this disease stage. However, these come with their fair share toxicities and side effects. The goal observational study is report drug-related adverse events (AEs), are correlated systemic combination for mHSPC. Determining optimal treatment option requires large...

Methods: Data from undergoing RALP between January 2017 March 2021 were prospectively collected. was performed by three highly experienced surgeons following principles Montsouris technique,...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to play a major role in intraocular neovascularisation ischaemic retinal diseases. The aim of this study was evaluate the concentration VEGF vitreous, aqueous and epiretinal membranes diabetic non-diabetic patients, with other pathological conditions requiring surgical intervention. Higher were found samples from eyes patients versus pathologies as well eye compartments patients. However, high levels also detachment proliferative...
