Sexual Dysfunction in Interstitial Cystitis
Conclusion:Several studies have been conducted to determine the relation between IC/BPS and sexual dysfunction. And also limited studies focusing on IC/BPS specific treatments reported significant improvements in sexual function after either oral or intravesical treatment. However, given the used different questionnaires, study protocols, patient characteristics, previous treatments and follow-up period, it is not possible to make a head-to-head comparison of the treatment effects on sexual function. Further, randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm these results and make a comparison between effects of various ...

Glomus Tumor of the Scrotum: A Case Report and Mini-Review
This report presents a case of a 54-year-old man who presented with a painful right scrotal swelling. Ultrasound suggested the possibility of an epidermal inclusion cyst. The excised mass was diagnosed as a benign glomus tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of glomus tumor of the scrotum described in the literature. This report expands the differential diagnoses of scrotal neoplasms. Furthermore, essential guidelines necessary to distinguish glomus tumor from other lesions in the scrotum are discussed.Curr Urol 2016;10:213-216 (Source: Current Urology)

Use of a Modified Continent Ileovesicostomy in Adults with Prior Enterocystoplasty
Conclusion: The construction of continent catheterizable stoma in adults with prior history of enterocystoplasty presents many technical challenges. The combination of the Yang-Monti ileovesicostomy and the extramural tunnel of the T-pouch provides an effective option for creating a continent catheterizable stoma in adults with prior history of enterocystoplasty.Curr Urol 2016;10:206-209 (Source: Current Urology)

Atypical Small Acinar Proliferation and High Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia: Should We Be Concerned? An Observational Cohort Study with a Minimum Follow-Up of 3 Years
Conclusion: By monitoring PSA and MRI changes, we managed to spare re-biopsy in two-thirds of patients. Further evaluation is necessary to characterize a surveillance protocol in these populations.Curr Urol 2016;10:199-205 (Source: Current Urology)

Physical Activity Decreases Kidney Cancer Mortality
Background: To investigate associations of kidney cancer mortality with modifiable risk factors of obesity, physical activity, and smoking.Methods: We evaluate baseline data from US National Health Information Survey from 1998 through 2004 linked to mortality data reporting deaths through 2006. The primary outcome variable was kidney cancer-specific mortality and primary exposure variables were self-reported physical activity and body mass index (BMI). We utilized multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models, with delayed entry to account for age at survey interview.Results: Among 222,163 individuals w...

Can Anterior Prostatic Fat Harbor Prostate Cancer Metastasis? A Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusion: There appears to be lymphatic drainage to the APF from the prostate. Hence APF should be included in pelvic LN dissection templates when lymphadenectomy is contemplated in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.Curr Urol 2016;10:182-185 (Source: Current Urology)

Simultaneous Measurements of Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Total Testosterone and Associations in Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer
Conclusion: Preoperative TT was associated with tumor parameters and inversely related to FSH levels. Patient with increased FSH levels was related to lower levels of TT, which was associated with high grade cancer.Curr Urol 2016;10:174-181 (Source: Current Urology)

Toxicity, Adverse Events, and Quality of Life Associated with the Treatment of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Conclusion:Based on the studies reviewed herein, abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide provide favorable outcomes, in terms of hematological adverse events. As enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate can be taken orally, they might have a positive effect on patient QoL.Curr Urol 2016;10:169-173 (Source: Current Urology)
