Roasted defatted peanuts (light and dark) (100 mg/kg) treatment significantly ameliorated cognitive performance and reversed the oxidative damage when compared with the scopolamine group. These data demonstrate the defatted peanuts extracts exert potent anti-amnesic effects via the modulation of cholinergic and antioxidant activities.

AUA guidelines recommend ureteroscopy as first line therapy for patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy and advocate using a ureteral access sheath. We examined practice patterns and unplanned health care use for these patients in Michigan.

Using the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC) clinical registry we identified ureteroscopy cases from 2016 to 2019. We assessed outcomes and adherence to guidelines based on therapy at time of ureteroscopy 1) anticoagulant continuous warfarin or novel oral agent therapy; 2) antiplatelet continuous clopidogrel or aspirin therapy; 3) control not on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy. We fit multivariate models to assess anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy association with emergency department visits, hospitalization and ureteral access sheath use.

In total, 9,982 ureteroscopies were performed across 31 practices with 3.1% and 7.8% on anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, respectively. There were practice (0% to 21%) and surgeon (apy.

We found practice-level and surgeon-level variation in performing ureteroscopy while on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy. Ureteroscopy on anticoagulant is safe. However, antiplatelet therapy increases the risk of hospitalization. Despite guideline recommendations, ureteral access sheath use is not associated with anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy.

We assess factors/additional morbidities related to the conversion of clamping approach during off-clamp vs on-clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the setting of a randomized study.

Consecutive candidates for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy from 6 institutions were randomized to on-clamp or off-clamp surgery. The present study analyzed 1) off-clamp arm patients, comparing the procedures finalized per protocol without artery clamping (off-clamp) to those needing renal artery clamping (shift-on-clamp) and 2) on-clamp arm patients, comparing the procedures finalized with artery clamping (on-clamp) to those completed without clamping (shift-off-clamp).

A total of 123 patients were randomized to on-clamp and 126 to off-clamp surgery. Of the off-clamp patients 41 (32.5%) converted to on-clamp. Of the on-clamp patients 70 (56.9%) completed surgery without clamping the renal artery due to subjective intraoperative decision of the surgeon. Tumor size was greater in shift-on-clamp vs off-clamp cases (4 vs

The likelihood of shift-on/off-clamp relies on tumor size/complexity. The intraoperative need to convert the planned strategy seemed harmless on postoperative course. An advantage in terms of early functional outcomes does exist when avoiding artery clamping.

To study baseline serum testosterone's prognostic value in hormone naïve advanced prostate cancer patients receiving continuous androgen deprivation therapy.

The study population undergoing continuous androgen deprivation therapy (agonist or antagonist) with 1-year followup was pooled for post-hoc analysis from 2 large prospective, randomized, parallel arm phase 3b trials (NCT00295750-Global; NCT00928434-USA). Survival end points were evaluated for baseline serum testosterone effect as a continuous variable and compared for low (less than 250 ng/dl) vs normal (250 ng/dl or greater) groups based on the saturation model, using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates, log rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression models incorporating established clinically important baseline factors.

On intention to treat analysis 138 (16.5%) of 838 eligible men had baseline serum testosterone less than 250 ng/dl. Key cancer characteristics for low vs normal baseline serum testosterone cohorts were comparable; Gleason sumpoints in hormone naïve advanced prostate cancer patients undergoing continuous medical castration. Future well-designed studies should compare continuous androgen deprivation therapy (the current gold standard) with newer alternatives to optimize individualized management in these men.

Individuals with spinal cord injuries frequently use urgent and emergent medical care. We hypothesized that urological causes are a primary driver of hospitalizations/emergency room visits in a contemporary spinal cord injury cohort.

The Neurogenic Bladder Research Group spinal cord injury registry is a prospective cohort study evaluating neurogenic bladder related quality of life after traumatic spinal cord injury. Questionnaires were administered to participants querying whether a hospitalization or emergency room visit occurred during the interval 1-year followup and reason for visit. Primary outcome was the rate of urological related hospitalizations/emergency room visits in 1 year. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for urology related hospitalization/emergency room visit.

Of the 1,479 participants enrolled 1,260 had 1-year followup. In all, 16.7% (211/1,260) reported at least 1 urological hospitalization/emergency room visit, and urinary tract infections were the m patients with spinal cord injuries during a 1-year followup and urological complications were the most common reason for admission. Patient self-reported physical health as well as unemployment, and bladder management strategy, particularly indwelling catheter use, were associated with increased risk of urology related hospitalization/emergency room visits.

We examine the timing, patterns and predictors of 90-day readmission after robotic radical cystectomy.

From September 2009 to March 2017, 271 consecutive patients undergoing robotic radical cystectomy with intent to cure bladder cancer (intracorporeal diversion 253, 93%) were identified from our prospectively collated institutional database. Readmission was defined as any subsequent inpatient admission or unplanned visit occurring within 90 days from discharge after the index hospitalization. Multiple readmissions were defined as 2 or more readmissions within a 90-day period. check details Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors related to single and multiple 90-day readmissions.

A total of 78 (28.8%) patients were readmitted at least once within 90 days after discharge, of whom 20 (25.6%) reported multiple readmissions. The cumulative duration of readmission was 6.2 (6.17) days with 6 (7.6%) patients having less than 24 hours readmission. Metabolic, infectious, genitourinary and gastrointestinal complications were identified as the primary cause of readmission in 39.
