"Our study is the first report of bladder auto-transplantation in heart-beating, brain-dead human research donors as a necessary preparatory step toward clinical bladder transplantation in living patients," says Inderbir S. Gill, MD.

Participants who completed a survey following the intervention indicated that the program was most helpful for networking with other applicants, finding a mentor, and serving as an introduction to urology.

The phase 3 URO-901-3005 study met its 2 co-primary end points with vibegron demonstrating a reduction in micturition episodes and urgency episodes from baseline to 12 weeks.

"This could make a huge impact for patients with limited resources,” says Benjamin Pockros, MD, MBA.

In this installment, Kevin Zorn, MD, FRCSC, FACS, highlights his disease-specific practice, BPH Canada, which he designates as a “one-stop shop” for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Men who had a dorsal testosterone/peripheral testosterone ratio greater than 2 were found to have higher rates of PSA persistence compared with patients who had a similar ratio.

The phase 1/2 Oncorella-1 trial is expected to enroll up to 40 patients with advanced kidney cancer who are on dialysis due to renal failure.

“Our findings show that AI chatbots provided accurate information with little misinformation. However, the information was provided at a college reading level and with little actionability," says Abdo E. Kabarriti, MD, FACS.

“A major finding from our study is how multiple sociodemographic, lifestyle, and medical factors influence testosterone levels in men," says Bu B. Yeap, MBBS, FRACP, PhD.
