Abstract

To analyze the results and complications after urethroplasty based on patient age groups. As secondary objective, we analyzed the impact of operative complexity on each age group. This is a retrospective cohort study that include male patients who underwent urethroplasty between January 2011 and December 2018. Data was obtained from the patients' electronic health records. Patients were grouped as follows: < 60 years, 60-79 years and > 80 years. Variables evaluated were history, comorbidities, previous surgeries and operative complexity. Restenosis-free survival and complications presented in each group were determined according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The SPSS® program was used for statistical analysis. A total of 783 patients were included, and the mean follow-up was 19 months. The estimated 2-year restenosis-free survival in the population under 60, 60-79 and over 80 years was 87, 87 and 93.9% (IC 95%), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the age group was not a predictor of restenosis. Complex surgery is the only predictor of recurrence, increasing the risk by 60% (HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.05-2.56, p = 0.029). There was an overall complication rate of 30.8%, and 62% of these were Clavien ≤ II. We foun...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
