The EP2 receptor – a novel target for prostate cancer?
This basic science paper sets out to evaluate the effects that celecoxib, a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, have on prostate cancer cell lines and evaluated the mechanisms behind these effects. COX-2 induces the production of prostaglandins, which promote cell proliferation...
Does stable or decreasing hydronephrosis on ultrasound lead to stable or improved function on diuretic renography?
Antenatal hydronephrosis is noted in approximately 1% of all pregnancies. Persistent renal obstruction may lead to progressive loss of renal function. Renal ultrasound (USS) is the preferred modality for diagnosis and monitoring of paediatric hydronephrosis as it is non-invasive, non-ionising,...
Early complications following ambulatory hypospadias repair
Most hypospadias repairs are undertaken on a day case ambulatory basis. Roth et al. have studied clinically significant events occurring within 30 days of operation. Data was obtained from the Paediatric Health Information System (PHIS), an administrative database that contains...
Long-term risks of augmenting the bladder in spina bifida patients
Bladder augmentation is utilised to treat children with neuropathic bladders secondary to spina bifida that results in hostile urodynamics, renal deterioration and / or urinary incontinence. Whilst it is associated with an improved quality of life and low mortality, it...BBS Revolution™ - Bladder Scanner

Is antibiotic prophylaxis warranted in hypospadias repairs?
Hypospadias repair is a common paediatric urological procedure. Complication rates following hypospadias repair are variable (ranging from 5–10% for distal hypospadias repairs and as high as 32–70% for proximal repairs). Limiting surgical site infections by minimising infection through antibiotic prophylaxis...
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy: wisdom, dogma, paradigm and myths
A non-transpapillary technique appears to ease access to the kidney – the most critical step in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) – when compared to the classic transpapillary approach. Remarkably, the earliest descriptions of percutaneous access by Goodwin et al. in 1955...
