Study Type – Therapy (practice patterns cohort) Level of Evidence not applicable What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Epidemiological resistance bacterial pathogens in urinary tract infections show large inter‐regional variability, rates are continually changing due to different regional antibiotic treatment regime. In Ireland UK, trimethoprim or nitrofurantoin is usually recommended for empirical uncomplicated cystitis community whilst parenteral cephalosporins,...
Penile cancer is a rare malignancy worldwide, representing only 1% of all cancers affecting men. There are little data outlining the comparative effectiveness penile preservation techniques and to our knowledge no guidelines regarding their use currently exist. Outcomes reporting nonstandardized followup not measured consistently. The aim this study was analyze outcomes total glans resurfacing in terms oncologic control, form function localized cancer.From 2013 2015, 19 prospectively...
Paratesticular soft tissue tumours are remarkably rare entities, with malignant subtypes accounting for approximately 30%. Due to the paucity of cases, a consensus on best treatment has not yet been reached, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenge clinicians. Although rare, three such cases presented care our institution serving population 400,000 in space 13 months. These were gentlemen, aged 54, 82 86 years old, left sided testicular swellings. Ultrasound each case confirmed an...
We investigated the role of C1772T polymorphisms in exon 12 Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) gene genotype prostate cancer (PCa) and amplification hypoxic response. identified heterozygous germline CT as an increased risk factor for clinically localised (Odds ratio=6.2; p
Urinary tract infections are one of the most common infectious diseases diagnosed in community and hospital setting. Their treatment is complicated by drug-resistant pathogens colonization microbes indwelling urinary catheters. This study assessed occurrence antimicrobial susceptibility methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) uropathogens isolated for 5 consecutive years at University Hospital Waterford between 2010 2014. We created 4 clinically relevant subdivisions, based on...
Translation of Raman micro-spectroscopy into the clinic for bladder cancer diagnostics<italic>via</italic>urine cytology.
Noncontrast CT (NCCT) has become the standard Imaging study in emergency department (ED) diagnosis of nephro- and ureterolithiasis. We undertook to audit results from first 500 NCCTs performed for patients presenting ED with suspected renal colic.In a retrospective at one institution October 2003 February 2006, stone disease were investigated. In study, NCCT findings, patient clinical records, urinary microscopy evaluated 166 women 334 men.Renal or ureteral calculi identified 279 (56%)...
Abstract Biomolecular changes associated with cancer progression can be identified using Raman spectroscopy, allowing for this technique to utilized as a non-invasive tool the diagnosis of bladder cancer. Applications spectroscopy diagnostics in real-time have consistently produced higher sensitivities and specificities than current clinical methods. This applied
We aimed to compare infection rates for two 3-day antibiotic prophylaxis regimens transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSgbp) and demonstrate local microbiological trends. In 2008, 558 men and, in 2009, 625 had TRUSgpb. Regimen 1 (2008) comprised 400 mg Ofloxacin immediately before 200 12-hourly 3 days. 2 (2009) days commencing 24 hours biopsy. 20/558 (3.6%) febrile episodes with regimen 10/625 (1.6%) (). E. coli was the most frequently isolated organism. Overall, 7/13 (54%) of...
There are only 7 cases reported in the literature of squamous cell cancer bladder patients performing intermittent self-catheterization (ISC). We report on an eighth case, and first case described a patient with Mitrofanoff continent appendicovesicostomy. A description review presented. Risk factors for include recurrent urinary tract infections, keratinising metaplasia (leukoplakia) local mucosal trauma from self-catheterization. is no recognized or validated monitoring program ISC who may...
To determine the sensory innervation of penis, as regional anaesthesia is often used either for postoperative analgesia or sole anaesthetic technique circumcision. Since first described in 1978 dorsal penile nerve block has become standard technique, but some blocks are ineffective; a better understanding penis might improve efficacy technique.In 13 men undergoing circumcision with local anaesthetic, cutaneous sensation was tested before and after infiltration aspect then again ventral...
