Surgical complications after kidney transplantation can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Frailty has been associated with important outcomes; however, there are no studies assessing this measure of physiological reserve as a specific predictor surgical in population. Such an assessment was, therefore, the objective present study.A total 87 individuals aged ≥ 18 years who underwent between March 2017 and 2018 were included. At time admission for transplantation, demographic, clinical, data...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool in Prostate Cancer (PCa) diagnosis. PI-RADS v2.1 score correlates with clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) and according to the most recent guidelines, prevalence of CSPCa 4 33-41%, while 5 62-79%. These groups are separated only by a size 15 mm yet difference risk significant. This study aims find threshold associated within group, which may be used combination other prostatic parameters, such as PSA density order help...

We evaluated cohort of patients who underwent biopsy for suspected (PCa) in New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland. collected on age, body mass index (BMI), level, volume, density (PSAD), PI-RADS scores, previous biopsy, corresponding histology results. The dataset was divided into derivation...

Purpose: Evaluate the impact autologous fascial sling (AFS) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures on quality-of-life in incontinent women. Materials Methods: Forty-one women were randomly distributed into two groups. Group G1 (n = 21), underwent AFS group G2 20) TVT implant. The clinical follow up was performed at 1, 6, 12 36 months. Results: operative time significantly shorter than AFS. Cure rates 71% 1 month, 57% 6 months G1. In G2, cure 75% 70% 65% months; there no significant...

Purpose: Several urethral conditions may require tissue substitution. One collagen-base biomaterial that recently emerged as an option is small intestinal submucosa (SIS). The aim of this study was to compare the results SIS and buccal mucosa for substitution in rabbits. Materials Methods: Thirty-six North Folk male rabbits were randomized into three groups.
