According to our observation, when evaluating patients with NMIBC at first TURBT, we believe that it is impor- tant to consider the following factors that are able to increase the risk of understaging: high grade tumor, deep lamina propria and microscopic vascular invasion, mul- tiple tumors, tumor size > 6 cm, tumor location (trigone and dome), presence of residual tumor. keywords: bladder; cancer; grade; invasion; patients; tumor; turbt; understaging cache: aiua-5142.pdf plain text: aiua-5142.txt item: #562 of 1114 id: aiua-5144 author: Minardi, Daniele; Scortechini, Anna Rita; Milanese, Giulio; Leoni, Pietro; Muzzonigro, Giovanni title: Spontaneous recurrent hematuria and hematospermia: Unique manifestations of von Willebrand disease type I.

Settings Data were derived from Second Urology Department in Sismanoglio, a tertiary Hospital in Greece, which is con- sidered a reference center for stone disease, between a 12- month period (06/2017-06/2018). keywords: digital; disease; fiber; patients; stone; study; time; ureteroscope; use cache: aiua-9966.pdf plain text: aiua-9966.txt item: #1113 of 1114 id: aiua-9969 author: Gaudiano, Caterina; Ciccarese, Federica; Bianchi, Lorenzo; Corcioni, Beniamino; De Cinque, Antonio; Giunchi, Francesca; Schiavina, Riccardo; Fiorentino, Michelangelo; Brunocilla, Eugenio; Golfieri, Rita title: The role of MRI in the detection of local recurrence: Added value of multiparametric approach and Signal Intensity/Time Curve analysis date: 2022 words: 5256 flesch: 52 summary: Of the imaging modalities, multiparametric magnetic reso- nance imaging (mpMRI) is the most accurate in the detection of local recurrence, being superior to choline positron emis- sion tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and to tran- srectal ultrasonography (TRUS) (2-5). Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of mpMRI in detecting local recurrence by eval- uating both the accuracy of each sequence and the combi- nation of DCE-DWI, considering clinical and histopatho- logical data as the reference standard. keywords: biopsy; dce; dwi; imaging; mpmri; patients; prostate; psa; recurrence cache: aiua-9969.pdf plain text: aiua-9969.txt item: #1114 of 1114 id: aiua-9978 author: Mirone, Vincenzo; Creta, Massimiliano; Capece, Marco; Celentano, Giuseppe; Califano, Gianluigi; Collà Ruvolo, Claudia; Spirito, Lorenzo; Fusco, Giovanni Maria; Cirillo, Luigi; Longo, Nicola; Fusco, Ferdinando; Mirone, Claudia ; La Rocca, Roberto; Napolitano, Luigi title: Telementoring for communication between residents and faculty physicians: Results from a survey on attitudes and perceptions in an Academic Tertiary Urology Referral Department in Italy date: 2021 words: 3388 flesch: 39 summary: Questions about attitudes toward use of telementoring during the residency program and in the context of resi- dent to faculty physicians communication for patient- related care investigated the following settings: frequency, duration, and temporal trend of telementoring adoption, tools adopted (telephone call, e-mails, WhatsApp, others) clinical context in which telementoring was used (ward, ambulatory care, referral activities), type of findings whose interpretation made use of telementoring (findings from physical examination, findings from radiological imaging, findings from endoscopy, findings from functional inves- tigations), type of shared data (text, video, audio, photos), content of multimedia data shared (reports, radiological images, drainages, findings from physical examination, endoscopic findings, intraoperative findings). The frequency of telementoring use in the context of resident to faculty physicians communication for patient-related care was described as occasional, fre- quent, very frequent, and rare by 51.3%, 41.0%, 5.1%, and 2.6%, respectively. keywords: care; communication; faculty; faculty physicians; patient; physicians; physicians communication; resident; telementoring cache: aiua-9978.pdf plain text: aiua-9978.txt
