These techniques might well be the future standard techniques for sexually active men with large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requiring surgery.
Urethra and bladder neck sparing techniques, especially in minimally invasive simple prostatectomy procedures, seem to provide real benefits, not only in the maintenance of preoperative potency and antegrade ejaculation but also accomplishing better perioperative outcomes, with faster patient recovery, and less complications. These techniques might well be the future standard techniques for sexually active men with large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requiring surgery.
To provide an updated review of robotic radical perineal prostatectomy (r-RPP) with emphasis on the recent advances in terms of surgical technique, outcomes, and new robotic platforms.

The technological innovations in the urological field have been applied to radical prostatectomy with the aim of preserving important anatomical structures and reduce patients' morbidity and mortality. In recent years, robotic surgery contributed to resurge radical perineal prostatectomy. In 2014, the Cleveland Clinic group was the first to demonstrate the utility of a robotic approach in RPP. To date, the majority of the reported studies showed that r-RPP has noninferior perioperative, short-term oncological, and functional outcomes compared with the traditional robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). selleck chemicals llc Given these benefits, r-RPP is a promising approach in selected patients, such as obese ones. Moreover, robotic perineal pelvic lymph node dissection performed through the same incision of r-RPP and the new Single-Port (SP) Robotic System represent further steps towards the overcoming of some intrinsic limitation of this surgical approach making this technique suitable for a larger number of patients with prostatic cancer.

Overall, r-RPP represents a reliable and effective novel surgical technique. However, more studies with long-term follow-up are needed to clarify the advantages over RARP.

In paradoxical low-flow low-gradient severe aortic stenosis (PLFLG AS) patients, stroke volume index (SVI) is reduced despite preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Although reduced SVI is already known as a poor prognostic predictor, the outcomes of PLFLG AS patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have not been clearly defined. We retrospectively investigated the post-TAVR outcomes of PLFLG AS patients in comparison with normal-flow high-gradient aortic stenosis (NFHG AS) patients.

The current observational study included 245 patients with NFHG AS (mean transaortic pressure gradient ≥40 mmHg and LVEF ≥ 50%) and 48 patients with PLFLG AS (mean transaortic pressure gradient <40 mmHg, LVEF ≥ 50% and SVI < 35 ml/m). The endpoints were all-cause mortality, hospitalization for valve-related symptoms or worsening congestive heart failure and New York Heart Association functional class III or IV.

PLFLG AS patients had a significantly higher proportion with a history of atrial fibrillation/flutter as compared with NFHG AS patients. All-cause mortality of PLFLG AS patients was worse than that of NFHG AS patients (P = 0.047). Hospitalization for valve-related symptoms or worsening congestive heart failure was more frequent in PLFLG AS patients than in NFHG AS patients (P = 0.041). New York Heart Association functional class III-IV after TAVR was more frequently observed in PLFLG AS patients (P = 0.019).

The outcomes of PLFLG AS patients were worse than those of NFHG AS patients in this study. Preexisting atrial fibrillation/flutter was frequent in PLFLG AS patients, and may affect their post-TAVR outcomes. Therefore, closer post-TAVR follow-up should be considered for these patients.

This focused, narrative review summarizes human clinical trial data for direct-acting antimicrobials in development for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections that were published in the past 18 months (1 January 2019 to 30 June 2020).

Antimicrobial agents for Clostridioides difficile infection (n = 6), cryptosporidiosis (n = 1), cytomegalovirus infection (n = 3) and Helicobacter pylori infection (n = 1) have completed and/or are undergoing human clinical trials.

Although this review highlights significant advances in four disease states, many common gastrointestinal pathogens have no antimicrobials in human clinical trials, emphasizing the need for continued prioritization in this field of study.

Statins possess pleiotropic effects, which potentially benefit noncardiovascular conditions. Previous work suggests that statins reduce inflammation and prevent acute respiratory distress syndrome and infections. However, there is a paucity of data regarding potential benefits of statins on respiratory and infectious complications, particularly after noncardiac surgery. We therefore evaluated respiratory and other complications in noncardiac surgery patients taking or not taking statins preoperatively.

We obtained data from the Cleveland Clinic Perioperative Health Documentation System and evaluated medical records of 92,139 inpatients who had noncardiac surgery. Among these, 31,719 patients took statins preoperatively. Statin patients were compared to nonstatin patients on incidence of intraoperative use of albuterol and postoperative respiratory complications for primary analysis. Infectious complications, cardiovascular complications, in-hospital mortality, and duration of hospitalization were compared for secondary analyses, using inverse probability of treatment weighting to control for potential confounding.
