The present study examined the relations among poly-bullying victimization (experiencing multiple forms of peer bullying), resilience and subjective well-being. This study specifically examined late adolescents’ resilience as a moderator of the relation between poly-bullying victimization and subjective well-being. In a region of central Spain, 1430 undergraduate students (64% females, 36% males), aged between 18 and 22 years, completed three self-reported measures, including bullying victimization experiences, self-reported subjective well-being and resilience. A substantial proportion of the participants (16.9%) reported being victims of poly-bullying. The results showed that the poly-bullying victimization group reported the poorest subjective well-being and the lowest resilience levels. The regression analyses revealed that resilience was significantly and positively associated with subjective well-being, and resilience moderated the association between poly-bullying victimization and subjective well-being. However, the relation was very weak and accounted for only an additional 1% of variance in the participants’ subjective well-being. Future research should assess resilience trajectories of youth exposed to multiple forms of bullying victimization in order to better understand the potential protective effect of resilience over negative mental health outcomes.
The REMEEX® system for the treatment of male SUI presents (in our experience) a 75% of good results (continent patients or patients with light urinary incontinence) at the year of follow-up with a high rate of light complications. Readjustment are frequent at the first six months after intervention and it's necessary an intense follow-up. We need more studies that evaluate the long-term efficiency of this system.
These new tapes show fewer complications that the TVT-O and TOT tapes and allow the possibility of placement with local anesthesia but further studies are needed.
micropapilar (CMP) es una variante anatomopatológica infrecuente de carcinoma vesical de comportamiento agresivo. Se presenta habitualmente como carcinoma de alto grado, en estadios avanzados y asociado a otras formas histológicas en proporciones variables. No manifiesta signos clínicos diferenciales con el carcinoma vesical típico. Los estudios de marcadores moleculares son todavía contradictorios. El tratamiento debería ser precoz y agresivo, fundamentalmente quirúr-gico, dado que la Radioterapia y la Quimioterapia han demostrado escasa eficacia hasta el momento.Presentamos el caso de un varón de 72 años con síntomas miccionales de larga evolución y hematuria macroscópica de reciente aparición que se diagnosticó de CMP en estadio avanzado. Al año de la cistectomía radical asociada a quimioterapia con carboplatino y gemcitabina se evidenció progresión rápida de la enfermedad y falleció a los 14 meses.Palabras clave: Vejiga.

ABSTRACT
MICROPAPILLARY CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER: CASE REPORT AND REVIEWOF THE LITERATURE Micropapillary carcinoma is an uncommon pathologic variant of bladder carcinoma with aggressive behavior. Its usual presentation is like a high grade and high stage carcinoma and associated with other histologic types in different proportion. It doesn´t differ clinically from normal transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Studies of molecular markers are still contradictories. Treatment should be early and aggresive, based on surgical therapy as radiotherapy and chemotherapy have shown limited results.We report a 72 years old man suffering from low urinary tract symptoms for years and recently presented gross hematuria. He was diagnosed as high stage micropapillary carcinoma. One year after radical cystectomy and subsequent chemotherapy based on carboplatin and gemcitabine , progression of the disease was shown on CT and the patient died 14 months after the diagnosis.
Introducción: En el año 2004 iniciamos la técnica de TOT para el tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo. En este estudio comparamos los resultados con las series publicadas de TOT y con la serie de TVT realizadas en nuestro servicio.Material y métodos: Hemos intervenido a 171 pacientes, con una edad media de 57,7 años. En el 167% de ellas, además de realizar TOT, asociamos reparación de defectos anatómicos pélvicos.Resultados: Con un seguimiento medio de 12 meses y mediana de 14 meses, el 87% de las pacientes están curadas. Los fracasos aparecieron de forma precoz en los 3 primeros meses de seguimiento. Como complicaciones aparecieron, retenciones post-operatorias de menos de 30 días en el 2,7%, retenciones a largo en el 4,8%, hematomas post-quirúrgicos en el 1,3%, extrusión de la malla en el 2% y urgencia de novo en el 2.3%. Conclusiones: La TOT es una técnica no exenta de complicaciones aunque la proporción de ellas es baja y con unos resultados que son alentadores. Se trata de una técnica quirúrgica sencilla, que como toda técnica, tiene una curva de aprendizaje. Requiere un corto tiempo quirúrgico (menor que la TVT) y puede ser realizada en régimen de Cirugía Mayor Ambulatoria. Las dos técnicas (TVT/TOT) han demostrado ser similares en cuanto a tasas de curación aunque en la serie de TOT es levemente más baja. Las diferencias de las complicaciones se dan en los porcentajes aunque siempre escasas.Palabras clave: TVT. TOT. Incontinencia de esfuerzo.
ABSTRACT
TOT IN THE TREATMENT OF THE STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE: OUR EXPERIENCE,COMPARING IT WITH THE TVT Introduction: In the year 2004 begin the technique of TOT for the treatment of the urinary incontinence of effort. In this study we compare the results with the published series of TOT and with the series of TVT carried out in our service.Material and methods: We have intervened to 171 patients, with a 57.7 year-old half age. In their 16%, besides carrying out TOT, we associate repair of anatomical pelvic defects.Results: After a follow-up of 12 months and a mean of 14, 87% of the cases succeeded. Failures arose during the first three months of therapy. As complications they appeared post-operative retentions of less than 30 days in 2.7%, retentions to long in 4.8%, post-surgical hematomas in 1.3%, extrusion of the mesh in 2% and novo urgency in 2.3%.Conclusions: TOT is a technique it doesn't exempt of complications although their proportion is low and with some results that they are encouraging. It is about a surgical simple technique that as all technique, he/she has a learning curve. It requires a surgical (smaller than TVT) short time and it can be carried out in régime of bigger Ambulatory Surgery. The two techniques (TVT / TOT) have demonstrated to be similar as for cure rates although in the series of TOT it is slightly more baja. Las differences of the complications they are given in the percentages although always scarce.
