The cost of bladder cancer: what can be done?
The rising cost of cancer care is a growing concern for health systems. A 2020 study estimated Europe’s annual cancer-related expenditure at €199 billion, with €109 billion attributed to healthcare costs. Bladder cancer (BC), in particular, imposes a significant financial...Evelina Paediatric Urodynamics Course 2025
This two day face to face course will start by covering normal childhood bladder and bowel anatomy and function along with an outline of Bladder Bowel dysfunction (BBD). The bulk of the course will cover urodynamic assessment of BBD both with non-invasive strategies such as Diaries, Uroflowmetry (together with use of EMG) and ultrasound scanning, and invasive urodynamics to include videourodynamics and ambulatory urodynamics. Practical demonstration along with work-shop scenarios will be provided along with case studies. We will not concentrate much on treatment but will provide demonstration of superficial neuromodulation such as TENS and the principles/practice of Biofeedback treatment.Two blue pills

This contemporary multicentre study will inform the ongoing debate on risk factors for BC after minimally invasive RNU and how it may be prevented. Three hundred and...The running gleet: why venereal disease is so important to the history of urology
