Irreversible electroporation (IRE) delivers brief electric pulses to attain non-thermal focal ablation that spares vasculature and other sensitive systems. It is a promising prostate cancer treatment due sparing of the tissues associated with morbidity risk from conventional therapies. IRE effects depend on field strength tissue properties. These characteristics are organ-dependent, affecting outcomes. This study characterizes relevant properties improve planning outcome predictions for...
Management for blunt high grade renal injury is controversial with most disagreement concerning indications exploration. At our institution all patients are considered candidates conservative treatment regardless of or computerized tomography appearance clinical status the sole determinant intervention. We define factors predicting need emergency intervention as well development complications.We analyzed records 117 (III to V) secondary trauma who presented in an 8-year period. Patients were...
Testosterone (T) treatment suppresses gonadotropin levels in normal men and is a promising reversible contraceptive that induces azoospermia approximately 70% of subjects oligospermia the remainder; however, basis this variable response unclear. This study aimed to investigate reported by examining spermatogenic process quantitating germ cell number after T-induced withdrawal. Ten fertile (31–46 yr), already planning undergo vasectomy, either received T enanthate (200 mg, im, weekly) for...
The aim of this study was to assess the roles transrectal color Doppler and gray-scale sonography in revealing prostatic cancer, using biopsy as reference standard. Two hundred fifty-six patients referred for urologic studies underwent scanning. All abnormal areas shown on or both were targeted biopsies performed. also random sextant biopsies. individually correlated with histopathologic findings all results analyzed. Cancer found 100 (39%), equivocal sonographic intraepithelial neoplasia 22...
Objective To detail the 9‐year experience of renal trauma at a modern L evel 1 centre and report on patterns injury, management complications. Patients methods We analysed 338 patients with injuries who presented to our institution over period. Data demographics, clinical presentation, complications were recorded. Results Males comprised 74.9% highest incidence was amongst those aged 20–24 years. Blunt 96.2% ( n = 325) all injuries, road being predominant mechanism accounting for 72.5%...
Renal trauma is often managed conservatively. Repeat imaging within 48 hours of injury recommended but to our knowledge the value further delayed unknown. We determined usefulness routine followup beyond in cases conservatively renal trauma.Of 377 patients who presented institution with last 8 years we identified 138 underwent a trial conservative treatment and repeat more than after injury. Followup was categorized as 108 (group 1) indicated 30 2), assessed for complications need subsequent...
A review of the first 1000 patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) at UCLA revealed 21 uric acid renal or ureteric calculi. Using combination ESWL and oral urinary alkalinisation, 16/21 (76%) were stone-free follow-up 3 months later 19 5 months. alkalinisation are complementary methods for non-invasive treatment
To evaluate current practice in the perioperative management of antiplatelets (AP) and anticoagulants (AC) among men undergoing elective transurethral resection prostate (TURP), as well associated bleeding thromboembolic complications.Retrospective review consecutive TURP patients a single tertiary institution from January 2011 to December 2013 (n = 293). Data on regular use AP/AC approach were collected patients' electronic medical records. Bleeding complications assessed up 30 days...
Objective: The objective was to review the impact of transperineal biopsy (TPB) at our institution by assessing rates cancer detection/grading, treatment outcomes and complications. Patients Methods: A retrospective TPBs between 2009 2013 performed. Variables included reason for TPB, age, prostate-specific antigen, previous histology, TPB management outcomes. Results: In total, 110 patients underwent 111 institution. On average, 22 cores were taken from each procedure. Disease-upgrade...
To report on the presentation, management and outcomes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).We retrospectively reviewed patients HIV RCC in a statewide referral center Australia. Patients' medical records were to collect data parameters at time diagnosis, as well RCC.Seven included current study. The median age diagnosis was 56 years (range: 44-62 years). At six combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), five had virological suppression. Three...
This study aimed to externally validate a previously described nomogram that predicts the need for renal exploration in trauma setting.The predicted probability of nephrectomy was manually calculated using prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with who presented our institution between May 2001 and January 2010. To assess performance, receiver operating characteristic curves against observed rate were generated, areas under curve calculated. Calibration generated performance...
Background Patients with traumatic bladder rupture frequently have associated pelvic fracture. With increasing numbers of fractures fixed internally, there are concerns that conservative management may increase the risk metalware infection. This study aims to determine if operative repair in comparison catheter drainage alone is a lower rate infection internal fixation device for concurrent Methods retrospective cohort level IV evidence. From July 2001 through June 2013, 45 multi‐trauma...
To characterise clinicopathological characteristics of prostate cancer among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men and to evaluate the current practice patterns in management these men.We retrospectively reviewed all patients with HIV State-wide referral centre Victoria, who were diagnosed from 2000 onwards. In all, 12 identified, medical records collect data on parameters at time diagnosis, as well characteristics, treatment details outcomes.At eight had undetectable viral load,...
