Electrochemical reactions can effectively follow nonunity stoichiometries as can be found in the electrochemistry of halides, hydrogen, and metal complexes. The voltammetric response of these systems shows peculiar deviations with respect to the well-described features of the 11 stoichiometry. With the aim of specifying such differences, a rigorous and manageable analytical theory is deduced for the complete characterization of reversible electrode processes with complex stoichiometry in cyclic voltammetry (CV) at macroelectrodes. Particularly, the main features of the CV of 21, 12, 31, and 13 processes (that is, the peak currents and potentials and the influence of the scan rate and of the species concentration and diffusion coefficients) are given and compared with the 11 case in order to propose unambiguous diagnostic criteria of the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction. Also, expressions for the concentration profiles and surface concentrations of the redox species are given.Introduction The metabolic syndrome is one of the most discussed cross-disciplinary problems of modern medicine. Now there are various definitions and criteria of diagnostics of metabolic syndrome. The abdominal obesity is considered the main component of the metabolic syndrome, as a reflection of visceral obesity which degree is offered to be estimated on an indirect indicator – a waist circumference. Alongside with abdominal obesity, a number of classifications distinguish insulin resistance (IR) as a diagnostic criterion of metabolic syndrome. It is proved that IR is one of the pathophysiological mechanisms influencing the development and the course of arterial hypertension (AH), type 2 DM and obesity. There are two components in the development of IR genetic (hereditary) and acquired. In spite of the fact that IR has the accurate genetic predisposition, exact genetic disorders of its appearance have not been identified yet, thus demonstrating its polygenic nature. The aim To establish possible association 3.3% (p less then 0.05). Hypertensive patients with Arg/Arg and Gly/Arg genotypes had significantly higher HOMA-IR (p less then 0.01), glucose, insulin and triglycerides levels (p less then 0.05), than in Gly/Gly genotype. At the same time, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, adiponectin, HDL, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, degree of endothelium-dependent vasodilation, as well as the frequency of occurrence of impaired glucose tolerance did not significantly differ in IRS-1 genotypes. Conclusions In hypertensive patients, the genetic polymorphism of IRS-1 gene is associated with such components of the metabolic syndrome as hypertriglyceridemia and fasting hyperglycemia; it is not associated with proinflammatory state, endothelial dysfunction, dysglycemia, an increase in waist circumference and decrease in HDL.BACKGROUND Prebiopsy multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has been increasingly utilized for patients of suspicious prostate cancer (PCa). However, the optimal core number and site for MRI-targeted biopsy have not been clearly elucidated. METHODS A systematic search in Pubmed, Embase and Ovid up to June 2019 was conducted and we identified studies reporting detection details of every MRI-targeted core. The incremental diagnostic value of performing additional cores was pooled on per-lesion analysis. Our secondary outcome concentrated on detection accuracy for cores of different site within one lesion. RESULTS Five studies comprising 2291 patients were identified to elucidate the association between targeted core number and cancer detection rates. Adding the second core to the first one resulted in 19.8% (range 13.6% - 26.7%) increase in the detection rate of clinically significant lesions, and adding the third one to the first two resulted in 11.5% (range 7.8% - 14.3%) increase. The incremental value of adding the fourth or the fifth core was 6.0% (4.7% & 6.9%) and 4.1% respectively. Four studies arranging MRI- targeted biopsy of more than two cores in well-determined sequences indicated more positive cores with higher cancer grade through center of the lesions. CONCLUSIONS Increasing the number of samples per target from one to two, or two to three resulted in a nonnegligible incremental detection rate of clinically significant lesions, while obtaining more than 3 cores per target provided a diminished incremental value. And performing targeted cores accurately through center of the lesions may help improve diagnostic accuracy.The management of a ureteral orifice injury occurring during robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP) represents a challenge for urologists. AICAR cost Several techniques have been proposed to treat an intraoperative injury, but intraoperative positioning of a DJ stent represents the most common treatment in cases of a partial injury of the ureteral orifice. We present a technique to ensure the successful outcome in cases of a partial detachment of the ureter during RARP. When the orifice is identified after the incision of the bladder neck and it appears very close to the anastomosis line setting up a partial detachment of the ureter, before implanting a DJ stent, one tip could be to perform a small incision of the anterior wall of the orifice to spatulate it and then proceeding to a short slip of the ureter the eversion of the mucosa - creating a sort of "folded shirt cuff"- allows the fixation of the ureter to the bladder wall. We successfully performed this technique in two cases of RARP.Vaginoplasty is the most commonly performed genital surgery for gender affirmation. Male-to- female (MTF) patients are roughly four times more likely to undergo genital surgery than female-to-male (FTM) patients. Penile inversion vaginoplasty is the most common technique used today, although there are also lesser used alternative methods including visceral interposition and pelvic peritoneal vaginoplasty. In general, outcomes are excellent, and many of the complications are self-limited. Most surgeons performing genital surgery for gender dysphoria adhere to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines for determining who is a candidate for surgery. Currently, there are no absolute contraindications to vaginoplasty in a patient who is of the age of majority in their country, only relative contraindications which include active smoking and morbid obesity. Important complications include flap necrosis, rectal and urethral injuries, rectal fistula, vaginal stenosis, and urethral fistula.
