Abstract Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to develop a device for the indicative measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) of eyeball, a key cause for glaucoma. In early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma accurate measurement of IOP is important. The methods and devices which are available for the measurement of IOP have their own limitations which cause discomfort to the patients during measurement and needs anesthesia. There is a dare need of a device for the measurement of intraocular pressure by making the contact of plunger with closed eyelid eliminating the need of anesthesia… More >

Abstract Introduction: Manual bladder washouts (MBWs) are an integral skill for healthcare workers dealing with urological patients. Despite this they are often overlooked by educators and omitted from formal teaching curricula. We aimed to determine the level of competence and training among healthcare workers in performing a MBW.
Materials and methods: Following a literature review for correct MBW technique, a 15-question survey was developed to assess knowledge and self-reported competency of doctors and nurses in performing a MBW. Two hundred paper and email-based surveys were distributed to doctors and nurses in the urology wards of Australian public and… More >

Abstract The documentation of traditional knowledge on medicinal use of plants has provided many important drugs that are used worldwide on a daily basis. Traditional remedies had been (and still are) the main source of livestock ailment treatments, especially in regions of poor resources of the Vhembe District, South Africa. In many rural areas of the Republic of South Africa, traditional medicine is sometimes the only available modern orthodox health care for managing both human and animal health. Much work remains to be done regarding the documentation of the existing ethnobotanical knowledge. In this work, we More >

Abstract Introduction: We reviewed the consultation patterns for difficult urethral catheter placement in tertiary care hospitals and developed a treatment algorithm for this common request.
Materials and methods: We identified all urethral catheter consults obtained by urology residents at three tertiary care hospitals from October 2009 through October 2010. Only consults for inability to place urethral catheter by the referring team were included; hematuria or clot retention were excluded. Patient age, date of consultation, consulting service, prior urologic history, initial number of attempts, and final outcome were recorded.
Results: Eighty-one consults were recorded. Seventy-seven (96%) were male; the median… More >

Abstract Introduction: The emergency department (ED) is a common setting for evaluation of patients with urolithiasis based on acute symptoms and a propensity for recurrent disease. We sought to characterize practice patterns in the emergency treatment of stone disease, and to identify potential disparities in care based on non-medical factors.
Materials and methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of ED visits using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 2005-2009. Visits with a diagnosis of urolithiasis were identified. The associations between patient, provider, and institutional characteristics were analyzed with regard to timing of clinical assessment, use of… More >

Abstract Introduction: Penile cancer is rare, often presenting in later stages. We sought to determine if factors potentially related to access to care were associated with worse outcomes.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients with the diagnosis of penile cancer over a 14 year period at the only tertiary referral center in the state. We collected data on multiple factors potentially associated with access to care.
Results: Fifty-fve patients with penile cancer were identifed. The average age was 57 years. Of the 55 patients, 23 patients (42%) had private insurance carriers, 16 (29%) had Medicare/Medicaid, 13… More >
