Introduction: There are not enough studies showing the degree to which the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects the semen parameters after coronavirus infection in comparison to before they were infected. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on semen parameters. Methods: Patients were screened if they had had semen analysis performed from October 1, 2019, to December 1, 2020, in the assisted reproduction unit and later had positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for SAR...

INTRODUCTION A functional tool to optimize patient selection for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided prostate biopsy (MRGB) is an unmet clinical need. We sought to develop a prostate cancer risk calculator (PCRC-MRI) that combines MRI and clinical characteristics to aid decision-making for MRGB in North American men. METHODS Two prospective registries containing 2354 consecutive men undergoing MRGB (September 2009 to April 2019) were analyzed. Patients were randomized into five groups, with ...

INTRODUCTION Recent studies have shown that software-generated 3D stone volume calculations are better predictors of stone burden than measured maximal axial stone diameter. However, no studies have assessed the role of formula estimated stone volume, a more practical and cheaper alternative to software calculations, to predict spontaneous stone passage (SSP). METHODS We retrospectively included patients discharged from our emergency department on conservative treatment for ureteral stone (≤10 m...
INTRODUCTION We sought to evaluate laser access and practice variability for pediatric ureteroscopy (URS) across the Societies of Pediatric Urology (SPU) to identify opportunities and barriers for future technology promulgation and evidence dissemination. METHODS A 25-question survey was sent electronically to members of the SPU. The questionnaire assessed surgeon and hospital characteristics, treatment preferences based on an index case, and information about available laser units. Descriptive ...
INTRODUCTION In light of COVID-19, reducing patient exposure via remote monitoring is desirable. Patients prescribed abiraterone/enzalutamide are scheduled for monthly in-person appointments to screen for adverse events (AEs). We determined time trends of drug-specific actionable AEs among users of abiraterone/enzalutamide to assess the safety of remote monitoring. METHODS A chart review was conducted on 828 prostate cancer patients prescribed abiraterone and/or enzalutamide. Data were collected...

Introduction: Earlier application of oral androgen receptor-axis-targeted therapies in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) has established improvements in overall survival, as compared to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. Recently, the use of apalutamide plus ADT has demonstrated improvement in mCSPC-related mortality, vs. ADT alone, with an acceptable toxicity profile. However, the cost-effectiveness of this therapeutic option remains unknown. Methods: ...
