Cortical stimulation for voiding dysfunction in multiple sclerosis

12 October 2022 | | Functional Urology, Neurourology | magnetic resonance imaging, multiple sclerosis

Voiding dysfunction (VD) increases morbidity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and may be associated with urinary tract infections, stones and renal failure. Catheterisation is required when impaired hand function precludes self-catheterisation, which is associated with further morbidity. In this...

Characteristics of APC and the usefulness of MP-MRI for diagnosis

1 November 2016 | | Urologic Oncology | prostatic neoplasms, neoplasm recurrence, local, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic imaging, prognosis

The authors evaluated the pathological and oncological characteristics of anteriorly located prostate cancer (APC) in 728 RP specimens, and the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for APC evaluation. Patients were characterised as APC (70% or more of tumour...

Increasing PSA after negative prostate biopsy - solving the clinical puzzle
