#AUA14 - Poster: Lymphopenia is an independent predictor of inferior outcome in papillary renal cell carcinoma

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Presented by Reza Mehrazin,1 Robert Uzzo,1 Alexander Kutikov,1 Karen Ruth,1 Jeffrey Tomaszewski,1 Serge Ginzburg,2 Daniel Canter,2 Essel Dulaimi,1 Philip Abbosh,1 Timothy Ito,1 David Chen,1 Rosalea Viterbo,1 Richard Greenberg,1 Marc Smaldone,1 and Tahseen Al−Saleem1 at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting - May 16 - 21, 2014 - Orlando, Florida USA

#AUA14 - Poster: How safe is extended pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (EPVTEP) following radical cystectomy?

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Presented by Reza Mehrazin, Zachary Piotrowski, Brian Egleston, Daniel Parker, Jeffrey Tomaszweski, Marc Smaldone, Paul Bloch, Kevan Iffrig, Philip Abbosh, Timothy Ito, David Chen, Rosalia Viterbo, Richard Greenberg, Robert Uzzo, and Alexander Kutikov at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting - May 16 - 21, 2014 - Orlando, Florida USA

#AUA14 - Progress towards a practical protocol to minimize renal injury in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - The authors have previously demonstrated that a treatment dose of 2000 shock waves (SWs) produces a renal lesion and that this injury can be reduced:

#AUA14 - Augmented reality video simulation for robotic partial nephrectomy surgery training –- the next generation - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Significant improvement to surgical simulation technology has been made in recent years.

#AUA14 - Effect of post-call fatigue measured by robotic skills simulator - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - The impact of resident fatigue has led to significant changes in graduate medical education. Weekly and shift work-hour restrictions have been implemented to reduce errors and negative effects of fatigue. Prior work has shown negative effects of fatigue on surgical resident dexterity and surgical skill.

#AUA14 - Simulating friction-force interaction between endoscopic instrumentation and the ureter - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Motor memory, established by proper tissue-tool interaction, is an important component of learning a psychomotor task.

#AUA14 - Does combination therapy with tamsulosin and tolterodine improve ureteral stent discomfort compared to monotherapy with tamsulosin? - a randomized controlled trial - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Ureteral stent discomfort is a significant post-operative problem that remains a challenge to treat.

#AUA14 - Prostate cancer partner perspective -- unmet needs - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - It has been shown that married men with prostate cancer live longer than those without partners, suggesting a support system contributes to overall survival.

#AUA14 - Correlation between CT density, biochemical structure and microcomposition of urinary stones - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - CT plays a significant part in determining the biochemical composition of urinary stones. Heavy metals and trace elements are involved in stone microcomposition. This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between CT density and both biochemical structure and microelemental composition of urinary stones.

#AUA14 - In vitro results of robotic cystoscope and 3D panorama for automated bladder surveillance system (ABSS) - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Bladder cancer is a common urological pathology. Surveillance and screening are important aspects. Xianming Ye and colleagues presented results in their development of an automated cystoscope to provide higher efficiency and 3D-user interface.
