Pioneering medical device Pelviva, treating bladder leakage in women – the single largest condition in female health has teamed up with talkhealth, Bladder & Bowel UK, ERIC, The Urology Foundation and Wellbeing for...The bulbocavernosus reflex
Despite its first discovery predating the early-1940s, clinical application of the bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) has been limited to date. The BCR traditionally involves contraction of the bulbo- and ischiocavernosus pelvic floor muscles, often referred to as the ‘bulbocavernosus muscle’, in...Seminal vesicle calculi
Epidemiology Seminal vesicle calculi are uncommon with just over 100 cases being reported in the literature, although the true incidence is likely to be higher [1-9]. Patients usually present aged between 30 and 45 years old and although the pathogenesis...Dogs and humans share a bladder cancer biomarker: a new discovery that opens doors for early detection and treatment
A new scientific study has identified a new molecular biomarker that could help doctors detect aggressive early-stage bladder cancer, such as high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in both dogs and humans. This discovery advances our knowledge of how aggressive...Patient portals
In May 2012, the Department of Health published its information strategy ‘Power of information’ which aims to put us all in control of the health and care information we need [1]. As a part of its information strategy a key...
Tamsulosin and spontaneous passage of ureteral stones in children
This was a retrospective analysis of data for five years from four institutions comparing stone passage rates in children with ureteric stones ≤10mm, aged 2-18, treated with tamsulosin vs. analgesia alone. The study identified 449 children, of whom 334 were...
Curing pure CIS with radical surgery: lessons learned
As carcinoma in situ (CIS) theoretically has no ability to invade or metastasise, performing radical cystectomy for CIS-only disease should be curative. In this single centre review over 37 years, 1964 patients undergoing cystectomy were analysed with 52 undergoing surgery...
Prostate cancer detection in younger men
Prostate cancer (PC) screening using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing with systematic biopsy (SBx) reduces mortality but risks overdiagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) enables MRI-targeted biopsy (TBx) of suspicious lesions and is now recommended before biopsy, although its role...
