Purpose:To evaluate the clinical response and adverse effects of radiofrequency on the urethral meatus in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.Materials and Methods:This phase one study included ten women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The evaluation consisted of 1 hour Pad tests to quantify urine loss and to assess the degree of procedure satisfaction by using the Likert scale. To evaluate safety, we observed the number of referred side effects.Results:Average age was 53.10 years±7.08 years. In assessing the final Pad Test, 70% showed a reduction and 30% a worsening of urinary loss. Using the Pad Test one month later, there was a reduction in all patients (p=0.028). The degree of satisfaction was 90% and no side effects have been observed. One patient reported burning sensation.Conclusion:The treatment of SUI with radiofrequency on the urethral meatus has no adverse effects, being a low risk method that reduces urinary loss in women. However, to increase the validity of the study, larger clinical trials are warranted.
Definitive RP following SOC systemic therapy is safe and appears to be largely feasible robotically. Post-RP urinary QOL was comparable to RP for localized disease (with extrapolated benefit of avoiding symptomatic local disease progression). 25% pT0 response was seen; gene expression profiles of these patients should be sought. Despite a small sample, our analysis lends insight and support to the feasibility of the SWOG 1802 RP arm.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de pseudo-hermafroditismo masculino em um Bulldog francês que apresentava testículo, vulva e pênis pouco desenvolvido. A intersexualidade ou hermafroditismo é um conceito que se refere a anomalias presentes desde o nascimento em animais que possuem características sexuais ambíguas, ou seja, que não se enquadram claramente como macho ou fêmea. Essas anomalias podem ser divididas em duas categorias principais: hermafroditas verdadeiros e pseudo-hermafroditas. Um indivíduo é considerado pseudo-hermafrodita masculino quando apresenta características sexuais femininas, mas possui gônada testicular. Pseudo-hermafroditismo masculino é a forma mais comum de intersexualidade em animais domésticos, caracterizada pela presença do cromossomo XY e testículos na cavidade abdominal. Em medicina veterinária, é comum encontrar casos de intersexualidade em cães, sendo a forma mais frequente o pseudo-hermafroditismo, enquanto o hermafroditismo verdadeiro é raro. Desta forma, concluiu-se que o presente relato desempenha um papel significativo ao contribuir para a divulgação de um caso específico de intersexo, mais precisamente o pseudo-hermafroditismo masculino
