[Comparison of self-estimation of disuric disorders gauged IPSS scale and qualities of lives QoL with self-estimation of sexual life gauged by IIEF-5 scale]. / Porównanie samooceny dolegliwosci dysurycznych mierzonych przy uzyciu skali IPSS i jakosci zycia QoL z samoocena zycia plciowego mierzonego skala IIEF-5.

Evaluation of men with a point scale is a simple method that can be used both in primary care and specialist in-patient treatment. Although its use is not widespread. International scoring system for evaluation of symptoms of the prostate is common in Poland (IPSS). Responses to the questionnaire are the basis of IPSS scale. Quality of life form (QoL) is in addition to the scale of IPSS. It defines subjective assessment of patient well-being in case of symptoms of lower urinary tract at the same level as at the time of the study. 5-point questionnaire IIEF-5 has been used in Poland since 1999 to assess men's sexual life. The aim of the study is to compare the assessment of disuric disorders measured using the International Prostate System Score (IPSS) and Quality of Life scale versus scale of men's sexual self-esteem IIEF-5 in men at the age of 50-70. The study included 1746 randomly selected residents of the district Cracow-Downtown, at the age of 50-70. Medical interview was carried out (including complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS), quality of life (QoL) and sexual dysfunction (IIEF-5); physical examination with assessment of individual systems with particular emphasis on genitourinary system, physical examination of the prostate (DRE), PSA level in total and free fractions, a biopsy of the prostate under ultrasound control if necessary. For the analysis qualified 1746 men. The men were divided into groups called groups of disease: a suspicion of prostate cancer, can not rule out prostate cancer, prostate cancer confirmed, probable benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), no lesions. The largest was the group with probable benign prostatic hyperplasia 64.89% of the total respondents, followed by a group of men without lesions, 26.29%, a group of probable prostate cancer was 6.41% of the respondents, a group with whom you can not rule out prostate cancer was 1.89%, the smallest was the group with confirmed prostate cancer, 0.52% of all male respondents. The age groups were: 498 respondents aged 50-54 years and 391 aged 55-59, 397 aged 60-64 and 460 aged 65-70. Mean age was 59.24 years. Ppicked up data were processed and analized by STATA- 5,0. Differences between groups relative to answers for the questions of scales: IPSS, QoL and IIEEF5 questionnaire were analized by Mann-Whitney, Kruskal- Wallis, Scheffe's and chi2 tests. Homogeneity of the IPSS were analised by a Cronbach coefficient test. Accordance of each questions of the scale to whole scale were analised by correlation and line regression tests. Based on the analysis of the total scale score by IPSS and QoL scale and quality of life questionnaire IIEF-5 showed that in the process of aging in the population more frequently in older than in younger men, there are complaints from the urinary tract and deteriorating quality of life of self-esteem and quality of life of sexual self-esteem. After analyzing the result of scale: IPSS, QoL, and IIEF-5 in the disease groups, it was found that the total score of IPSS differentiates men in the group with probable benign prostatic hyperplasia, from a group of men without lesions and men with suspected prostate cancer. Statistically significant reduction in quality of life (QoL) in patients with confirmed prostate cancer and in the group with probable benign prostatic hyperplasia compared with men without lesions. The highest self-esteem sex life (IIEF-5) was found in men without lesions and the lowest in the group with known prostate cancer. The scale of quality of life (QoL) was significantly positively correlated with the results of IPSS scale, as well as with each of its questions. Deterioration in the quality of life occurred as a crescendo pain of lower respiratory tract. With the increase in the incidence and severity of each symptom on a scale IPSS worsening of self-esteem was examined using a scale IIEF-5. U of men with the deterioration of the quality of life measured by the scale of QoL, worsening their sexual self-esteem scale IIEF-5. In the process of aging are growing complaints from the lower urinary tract, self-esteem deteriorates the quality of life, including sexual life, which is especially marked in men with enlarged prostate. The scale of quality of life (QoL) is significantly positively correlated with the results of IPSS scale. With the increase in the incidence and severity of symptoms on a scale IPSS had decreased self-test using the IIEF-5 scale. The deterioration of quality of life measured with QoL was associated with decreased sexual self-esteem scale IIEF-5.

[Strategy in preventing of uretero-intestinal anastomosis strictures in patients with low-pressure intestinal neobladder]. / Strategia postepowania w zapobieganiu zwezeniom zespolenia moczowodowo- jelitowego u chorych z niskocisnieniowym pecherzem jelitowym.

Ureteroileal stenoses occur in 1.2-20% patients with neobladders. They constitute a serious clinical complication since, as every obstruction of urine flow from the kidney. Ureteroileal stenoses develop usually within firs 6 to 12 months following the extended urological procedure such as radical cystectomy with the creation of ileal orthotopic neobladder. Ureteroileal stenosis belongs to the most difficult complications after creation of ileal neobladder. The experience of our clinic between 2001 and 2011 covers 3500 cases of patients with bladder cancer. 226 patients underwent cystectomy, 120 were treated with urinary diversion m. Bricker and 106 underwent low pressure ileal neobladder modo Studer. Ureters anastomosed with the intestine Michalowskis way of a flap. The authors performed 344 ureteroileal anastomoses, 212 ureteroileal anastomoses with the ileal neobladder modo Studer and 11 stenoses were detected, in 5 patients one-side, in 3 bilateral. In our practice there was altogether 11 detected stenoses which constitutes 5.18%. Based on our experience, in the course of radical removal of the bladder during the preparation of the least possible damage the blood supply ureter, ureter prior to implantation should be checked for leaks, catheter should be made of soft material. The performance of the left ureter to carry out the right side of the mesentery, be careful not without angulation. In the course of the uretero-intestinal anastomosis should not be stitched in place to destroy the vascular anastomosis of ureter to intestine anastomosis and the same should be done without tension. Protect the integrity of the anastomosis, aseptic oncology. Uretero-intestinal anastomosis performed without anti-reflux protection.

Animal models of overactive bladder: cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis in rats.

Cyclophosphamide (CYP) treatment induces chemical cystitis leading to bladder overactivity (OAB) in animals and humans. There is a great number of OAB models evaluations, which consider the bladder histology, as well as alterations in neurochemical, electrophysiological properties of bladder afferent neurons and reflex arcs activity in the spinal cord. However there are no data differentiating cystometrically acute and chronic models of OAB induced by CYP under urethane anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of acute and chronic models of CYP-induced cystitis on urinary bladder motor activity in rats.
