[Papillomaviruses and genital cancer: the value of detection and eradication]. / Les papillomavirus et les cancers génitaux: intérêt du dépistage et de l'éradication.

Human viruses (especially papillomavirus type 16, 18, 33, herpesvirus type 2 and cytomegalovirus) are implicated in malignant transformation, particularly in cervical cancer. Screening and treatment of male partners are mandatory not only for the patient but also for epidemiological purposes, including prevention of cervical carcinoma. Careful examination with a magnifying glass of the anogenital skin and mucosa of the male partner is performed after application of 5% acetic acid in water and small reacting areas can be treated more accurately. The hypothesis of a viral role in the development of urothelial tumors is supported by various recent observation, although similar conclusions cannot currently be drawn for prostatic carcinoma.

[Should one search for papillomavirus lesions in the male sex partner? Value of peniscopy. Literature review and personal experience]. / Faut-il rechercher les lésions à papillomavirus du partenaire masculin? Intérêt de la peniscopie. Revue de la littérature et expérience personnelle.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is closely related to genital carcinoma, especially cervical cancer in woman. Screening and treatment of male partner seems to be of particularly great interest for him self and also for preventing recurrence in female. A review of literature and a personal 70 patients series give highlight on peniscopy, poor results of local therapies and the need of a long term screening in the male partner.

[Rehabilitation of male incontinence following prostate surgery. Results in 35 patients]. / Rééducation de l'incontinence masculine après chirurgie de la prostate. Résultats chez 35 patients.

Incontinence after surgical procedures on the prostate occurs in up to 5-10% of patients. We describe a conservative treatment based on manual therapy and bladder and sphincter training. Good results were obtained in 66% of patients. Method and results are discussed.

[The use of viloxazine in the treatment of primary enuresis]. / L'utilisation de la Viloxazine dans le traitement de l'énurésie primaire.

The use of Viloxazine (a non tricyclic antidepressant) could be a less toxic alternative to Imipramine (cardiotoxic tricyclic antidepressant) in the treatment of childhood primary enuresis. Bladder overactivity, infection or psychological disturbances should be excluded before start of treatment, the drug seems to have a good efficacy in cases of "heavy sleepers".

Endoscopic resection as treatment of enuresis with posterior urethral valves.

25 boys with both nocturnal enuresis and diurnal urgency, underwent a transurethral resection of a posterior urethral valve. Seventeen patients were cured, two improved partially, two did not respond and four were lost to follow-up. The authors recommend a routine voiding cysto-urethrogram in the work-up of enuretic boys, especially when nocturnal enuresis goes with diurnal urgency.

[The surgical treatment of erection disorders caused by penile curvature]. / Le traitement chirurgical des dysérections par coudure de la verge.

The authors report their experience of the surgical management of penis curvature in 26 patients. Eight patients had a congenital curvature due to an asymmetry of the corpus cavernosa and 18 patients had a secondary curvature (La Peyronie's disease : 17, traumatism : 1). The Nesbit procedure alone produces usual excellent results (84.6%). In Peyronie's disease with distal non-erection, a cavernous body prosthesis is recommended.

Management of uric acid renal obstruction by intravenous lactate.

6 patients presenting with uric acid renal obstruction were managed by alkalization of urine using intravenous perfusion of 0.16 (1/6) M sodium lactate. Despite obstructive renal failure in 3 patients, rapid relief of obstruction was obtained and surgery was not necessary in any patient. Lysis of uric acid stones by urine alkalization is well documented [1, 4-12]. Intravenous infusion of 0.16 (1/6) M sodium lactate provides rapid urinary alkalization and is effective in the relief of obstruction by dissolution of uric acid calculi.
