To assess the association between physical activity, evaluated by Physical Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE) questionnaire, and prostate cancer risk in a consecutive series of men undergoing biopsy.From 2011 onwards, 12-core biopsy were enrolled into prospective database. Indications prostatic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value ≥4 ng/mL and/or positive digital rectal examination. Body mass index (BMI) waist circumferences measured before biopsy. Fasting blood samples collected tested for:...
Objective To report the functional outcomes of robot‐assisted laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter (AUS; AMS 800™, American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, USA) implantation and revision in women with stress incontinence (SUI). Patients Methods A pilot prospective monocentric study included all consecutive female patients SUI undergoing an AUS surgery (implantation or revision) using a robotic approach between 2012 2018. The was implanted through transperitoneal approach. dissection...
Insufficient physical activity (PA) may be a shared risk factor for the development of both metabolic syndrome (MetS) and prostate cancer (PCa). To investigate this correlation to develop nomogram able predict tumor diagnosis. Between 2016 2018, consecutive series men who underwent biopsy at three institutions were prospectively enrolled. PA was self-assessed by patients through Physical Activity Scale Elderly (PASE) questionnaire; MetS assessed according Adult Treatment Panel III criteria....
To report the functional outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter implantation (R-AUS) in men with neurogenic stress incontinence (SUI).A monocentric retrospective study included all consecutive adult male neuro-urological patients who underwent R-AUS for SUI between January 2011 and August 2018. The AUS was implanted via a transperitoneal approach. Intraoperative early postoperative complications were reported (Clavien-Dindo classification). Continence defined as...
The factual value of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the understanding multifactorial diseases is a matter intense debate. Practical consequences development more effective therapies do not seem to be around corner. Here we propose pragmatic and objective evaluation how much new biology arising from these studies, with particular attention information that can help prioritize therapeutic targets. We chose multiple sclerosis (MS) as paradigm disease assumed that, in pre-GWAS...
To present the results of a nationwide survey among urological patients to evaluate their perception quality care provided by residents.An anonymous was distributed who were referred 22 Italian academic institutions. The aimed investigate professional figure urology resident as perceived patient.A total 2587 enrolled in this study. In all, 51.6% able correctly identify resident; however, almost 40% respondents discriminated residents from fully trained urologists based exclusively on young...
Purpose of review The aim this narrative is to evaluate the current available literature on urinary outcomes following cryotherapy and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for localized prostate cancer (PCa). Recent findings heterogeneous in terms intervention modalities assessment outcome measures. Nevertheless, ultra-minimally invasive treatments seem provide good outcomes. Technological advancement adoption more conservative ablation templates allow a further reduction toxicity better...
Aim of our study was to evaluate learning curve the Millin simple prostatectomy analyzing three expert laparoscopic surgeons.Learning 3 surgeons with excellent radical training evaluated. Surgeon 1 had more than 20 years experience, while other 10 experience. The first 45 procedures were considered for analysis. cumulative sum (CUSUM) technique, one methods developed monitor performance and quality industrial sector, adopted analyze curves. variables included were: operative time (OT),...
To analyse the performance of iXip in prediction prostate cancer (PCa) and high-grade PCa.A consecutive series men undergoing MRI/FUSION biopsies were enrolled one centre. Indications for biopsy included abnormal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (PSA > 4 ng/ml) and/or digital rectal examination (DRE) MRI. All patients underwent evaluation serum PSA-IgM concentration ratio was calculated. Accuracy PCa evaluated using multivariable binary regression analysis receiver operator...
