A clinical statistic survey was carried out on the patients, diseases and operations experienced at our urological clinic in 1984. The total number of inpatients was 1314, the male to female ratio being 2.97:1. The major diseases of the inpatients were urolithiasis (452 cases, 34.4%), and BPH (297 cases, 22.6%). Among the operations, TUR-P 34.1%, ESWL 33.0%, TUR-BT 6.9% were predominant.

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of single instillation of 40 mg Mitomycin C (MMC-40) within first hour of transurethral resection (TUR), on first year recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. METHODS In this study of two groups of patients with similar demographics and tumour profile were compared to assess first year tumour recurrence pattern. Group A received MMC-40 within 30 minutes...

BACKGROUND Patients undergoing transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate are at risk of TUR syndrome, generally defined as having cardiovascular and/or neurological manifestations, along with serum sodium concentrations less than or equal to 125 mmol/l. As these symptoms can also occur in patients with serum sodium greater than 125 mmol/l, this study aimed to investigate the relationship be...

OBJECTIVE Bipolar transurethral resection (TUR) has been introduced in the clinical practice nowadays. Benefits from bipolar TUR are represented by the use of saline irrigation, which avoids hypoosmotic hyperhydration (TUR-Syndrome), as well as by the reduced risk of obturator nerve stimulation. However, the previously introduced smaller bipolar resection loop caused prolonged operating-time. W...

OBJECTIVE To define the natural history of T1G3 bladder tumor not receiving intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and assess the diagnostic and therapeutic value of a second transurethral resection (Re-TUR) in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective study on the natural history of 210 patients treated at two institutions for T1G3 bladder carcinoma without associated CIS. In n...

AIM We tested the hypothesis that stimulation by electro-resection of bladder tissue induces stem cells in the tissue repair process. MATERIALS & METHODS After primary transurethral resection of a bladder tumor and surrounding tissue (TUR-Bt), second TUR-Bt was performed. Tissues excised by second TUR-Bt were immunohistochemically stained for Oct4, a marker of pluripotency, and for CD90 and C...

Objectives: To assess the BMI, life-style, and healthy status, and explore relationships between these parameters, among Menorca’s free living elderly people. Methods: A cross-sectional survey carried out in Menorca Island in 2009. A random sample (n=450) of the elderly population (≥65 years) was interviewed. Anthropometric measurements and a general questionnaire incorporating questions relate...
