Obesity, risk of biochemical recurrence, and prostate ‐specific antigen doubling time after radical prostatectomy: results from the SEARCH database
ConclusionWhile we confirmed that higher BMI was associated with BCR, we found no link between BMI and PSADT at the time of recurrence. Our data suggest obese men do not have more aggressive recurrences. Future studies are needed to test whether obesity predicts response to salvage therapies.

Upper Urinary Tract Abnormalities: A Case of Bilateral Kidneys Within a Left-sided Omphalocele
Children with omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, and spinal defects complex present with the most severe form of birth defects in the exstrophy-epispadias spectrum. Prenatal diagnosis is difficult, but improved survival over the past several decades makes understanding the potential anatomic manifestations imperative for expeditious and appropriate surgical care. The upper urinary tract is often normal in children with omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, and spinal defects complex, but malposition of one of the kidneys has previously been reported.

Urological outcomes in the omphalocele exstrophy imperforate anus spinal defects (OEIS) complex: Experience with 80 patients
Conclusions: Osteotomy improves success of initial bladder closure. A bladder neck procedure, catheterizable channel, and augmentation cystoplasty will be required in the majority of patients to attain urinary dryness.

Omphalocele, exstrophy of cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defect complex, multiple major reconstructive surgeries needed
Nada Neel, Mohmoud Salem TarabayUrology Annals 2018 10(1):118-121OEIS complex is a rare combination of serious birth defects including omphalocele, exstrophy of cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defects. The aim of managements has shifted from merely providing survival to improve patient outcomes and quality of life with higher level of physical and social independence. Multiple complicated reconstructive surgeries always needed for achieving the goals of treatment. In this case report, we aimed to present our surgical approach for this rare abnormality to achieve functionally and socially acceptable outcome.

Extra-abdominal cryptorchidism associated with gastroschisis and impacted urethral calculus: two uncommon urologic conditions in one patient.
We describe a new case where simple relocation of the testis into the abdomen was followed by spontaneous testicular descent. Additionally, he developed a urinary calculus impacted in the navicular fossa 4 years later. Given the rarity of the two conditions, the probability of their co-occurrence is exceptionally rare, especially considering that they seem to be causally and temporally unrelated to one another.

Selling blood and gametes during tough economic times: insights from Google search.
CONCLUSION: Google search volume data for search terms relating to sperm, egg, and blood donation increase during economic downturns. This finding suggests gamete and bodily fluid donations are influenced by market forces like other commodities. Google search may be useful for predicting blood donation trends but is more limited in predicting actual semen and oocyte donation patterns.

EBM II: How to perform a literature search
Present article is a second part related to EBM in a series of five by the ESPU research committee. It will present the different databases/search engines available to clinicians and researchers, and describe strategies to focus the search to one ’s particular needs. Indeed, databases/search engines used and search strategy should vary according to the goal of the research. If aim is to address a clinical problem, the search should allow to identify a small number of most pertinent articles (high specificity); if the search is for research purposes, instead, it should ensure no meaningful articles are overlooked (high sensitivity).

High-Performance Information Search Filters for CKD Content in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and EMBASE
Conclusions PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and EMBASE can be filtered reliably for articles relevant to CKD. These high-performance information filters are now available online and can be used to better identify CKD content in large bibliographic databases.

Quality of Health Information on the Internet for Urolithiasis on the Google Search Engine.
Conclusions. Health information on most urolithiasis websites was not validated. Nearly one-third of websites in this study have commercial sponsorship. Doctors should recognise the need for more reliable health websites for their patients.

In Search for risk predictors at the microscopic scenario of a negative biopsy. A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: The MS of a negative PB may include atypical small acinar proliferation, HGPIN, prostatic atrophy, inflammatory proliferative atrophy and prostatic inflammation lesions, since they all seem to be associated with the risk of PC detection in repeat PB. This review has led us to create the hypothesis that the MS of a negative PB might be a valuable and useful tool when considering repeat PB.

Internet use after prostate cancer : Search for information and trust in disease-related information in long-term survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: Two-thirds of long-term PCa survivors are using the internet. A significant proportion expressed difficulties finding proper and reliable information. Urologists should be familiar with online resources on PCa in order to offer advice to patients and to recommend adequate information on the internet.

Re: It's All Relative: Assessing Online Search Interest in Genitourinary Cancer Awareness Campaigns
Patel and colleagues measured the Google Trends relative search volume (RSV) of prostate, testicular, and breast cancers to evaluate the success of men's health awareness campaigns to generate online interest. Based on significantly higher RSV for “breast cancer” during breast cancer awareness month relative to male cancers, they suggest that men's health awareness campaigns did not increase online search interest in prostate and testicular cancer. While we support using RSV to characterize online search patterns, we believe the conclusio ns about the failure of men's cancer awareness campaigns warrant additional context.

High serum folate is associated with reduced biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy: Results from the SEARCH Database
Conclusion In a cohort of men undergoing radical prostatectomy at several VAs across the country, higher serum folate levels were associated with lower PSA and lower risk for biochemical failure. While the source of the folate in the serum in this study is unknown (i.e. diet vs. supplement), these findings, if confirmed, suggest a potential role of folic acid supplementation or increased consumption of folate rich foods to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Prostate cell lines as models for biomarker discovery: Performance of current markers and the search for new biomarkers
CONCLUSIONSWhile the existing prostate cancer biomarkers and lysosomal proteins investigated here were not able to specifically differentiate between a panel of nonmalignant and prostate cancer cell lines, endosomal proteins showed some discriminatory capacity. LIMP‐2 is a critical regulator of endosome biogenesis and the increased expression observed in prostate cancer cells indicated that other endosome related proteins may also be upregulated and could be investigated as novel biomarkers.
