Overactive bladder is underdiagnosed and undertreated in men as symptoms overlap with benign prostatic obstruction. This study identified barriers urologists encountered in effectively managing overactive bladder in men with lower urinary tract symptoms. 60 urologists recruited across Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Russia, South Korea and Thailand via convenience sampling participated in in-depth interviews.

- The study aimed to create a machine learning model to predict how patients with overactive bladder would respond to treatments with mirabegron or antimuscarinic agents, using data from the FAITH registry.
- The researchers analyzed data from 396 patients, comparing outcomes based on their treatment's efficacy, persistence, and safety, and found that 34.8% had "more effective" treatment responses.
- The decision tree model (C5.0) was determined to be the most effective algorithm, achieving a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve score of 0.70, indicating moderate predictive accuracy.
Introduction: Biochemical relapse (BR) after a primary radical prostatectomy may occur in up to 40 percent of cases. Salvage lymphadenectomy has been proposed in patients with 'node-only' driven BR, following a definitive treatment of primary prostate cancer (PCa). We present our initial series of 10 consecutive patients who underwent an extended robotic salvage pelvic lymph node dissection (eRSPLND) for 'node-only' recurrent PCa.
