Abstract
Background Overactive bladder is a high prevalent and quality of life affecting disease. The mainstay of the medical therapy is represented by antimuscarinic drugs, but their side effects markedly affect patient compliance and prompt studies on novel investigational drugs. Methods A systematic literature search of peer-reviewed papers and meeting abstracts published by December 2008 was performed. PubMed databank was searched for original English articles, by using the following search terms: “overactive bladder” or “detrusor overactivity” or “urinary incontinence” and “treatment”, alone and linked to any potential molecular target or novel drug cited in the literature. Results Effective alternative pharmacological treatments are currently scarce, but many new promising compounds are emerging which target key molecular pathways involved in micturition control. The most promising potential therapeutic targets include central nervous system GABAergic inhibitory pathway, dopaminergic and serotoninergic systems, b-adrenoceptors and cAMP metabolism, nonadrenergic-noncholinergic mechanisms such as purinergic and neuropeptidergic systems, vanilloid receptor, bladder sensory nervous terminals, nonneuronal bladder signalling systems including urothelium and interstitial cells, prostanoids, Rho-kinase and different subtypes of potassium and calcium channels. Conclusions Despite the enormous amount of new biologic insight, very few novel pharmacological therapies seems to have passed the proof-of-concept clinical stage. The ultimate clinical utility of new drugs will depend on the ability to exploit tissue-specific differences and disease-related changes in molecular expression/function and to improve storage phase dysfunctions without interfering with the emptying phase. Further preclinical investigations and controlled clinical trials are urgently needed in this challenging field.

Abstract
To evaluate in a prospective study the sensitivity of urine and spermatic fluid cultures in identifying the presence of infection compared to Meares-Stamey's test (MSt) results. Fourty patients were diagnosed having bacterial prostatitis following MSt. They underwent both urine and spermatic fluid cultures after MSt results and immediately before antibiotic treatment. All the patients were asked which of the three examens was the least tolerable. Urine and spermatic fluid culture were negative in 36 and 4 cases respectively. Spermatic fluid culture identified infection in 36 out of 40 patients who underwent MSt (90%) and was more acceptable for the patients. Urine culture is a less accurate way of identifying the infective agent in prostatitis, compared to spermatic fluid culture. The latter procedure is similar to the MSt.

Abstract
Eighteen patients with inflammatory process of the prostate met criteria for the inclusion in the study: 1) non bacterial prostatitis; 2) no previous treatment. Then they were randomized into three groups as it follows: terazosine, tamsulosin and placebo. Alpha-blockers and placebo were given for two months, after which further uroflowmetry was performed. Symptom score was evaluated before and after treatment. Terazosine was effective in reducing TO (p = 0.01) as tamsulosin and placebo did not. Both terazosine (p = 0.034) and tamsulosin (p = 0.006) reduced max TQ as placebo did not. Symptom score significantly improved in patients receiving terazosine (p = 0.0002) and tamsulosin (p = 0.001) while insignificantly in whose receiving placebo.

Abstract
Testis leiomyoma is a very rare neoplasm. It is very difficult to perform an exact preoperative diagnosis; only histological examination can prove the presence of a leiomyoma. In our case radical orchidectomy was performed because of complete substitution of normal parenchyma, the extreme rarity at long-term follow-up of a reported benign intratesticular neoplasm, and the imperfect sensitivity of the extemporary histological examination.

Abstract
A case of metachronous renal cell carcinoma is reported in a 52-year-old male patient who had previously undergone radical nephrectomy for cancer in 1989. He was thereafter monitored with annual CT-scans. In January 1994, a small, solid, renal parenchymal mass was detected in the opposite kidney. Following that, three consecutive abdominal CT-scans were carried out over the year in order to evaluate any changes. Subsequently, elective right nephron-sparing resection was performed. This report discusses neoplasm detection, evolution and clinical approach in a patient with previous nephrectomy for cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the outcome of conservative or radical treatment in a retrospective study of 100 consecutive patients with upper urinary tract tumours. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1965 to 1995, 100 patients (78 men and 22 women, mean age 65 years, range 27-82) with upper urinary tract tumours were treated surgically, using nephroureterectomy with excision of a cuff of bladder in 53 and organ-sparing treatment in 47. The outcome was assessed as survival and recurrence during a follow-up of up to 15 years. RESULTS After radical and organ-sparing treatment, the 15-year cancer-specific survival was 69% and 25%, respectively; metastases developed in 17% and 19% and global recurrence in 40% and 70%, respectively. While locoregional and bladder recurrences were similar in the two groups (9% vs 8% and 30% vs 38%, respectively), ureteric-stump recurrence in the conservative group was 23%. There were no significant differences in survival rates between patients with single or multiple presentation, or for localization, while the grading of the lesions proved to be an accurate prognostic indicator. CONCLUSION This experience of urothelial neoplasia of the upper tract highlights the difficulty in diagnosing this pathology and in entrusting screening to a non-invasive technique such as urinary cytology. The percentage recurrence observed after organ-sparing therapy indicates that this treatment should be used cautiously.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results from the long-term follow-up of ileocaeco-urethrostomy with multiple transverse taeniamyotomies for bladder replacement. PATIENTS AND METHODS Since 1987, 60 male patients have undergone bladder replacement using a technique of ileocaeco-urethrostomy with multiple transverse taeniamyotomies. Avoiding detubularization, sectioning the caecal taeniae improved reservoir morphology and reduced internal pressures and wall tension, limiting the potential complications of the operation. RESULTS All patients achieved diurnal continence with socially acceptable intervals between micturitions. Immediately after the operation, the nocturnal continence rate was good (79% of patients with a follow up < 3 years), reaching 86% after > 3 years. After 5 years, the reservoir capacity remained within the physiological range (mean volume 469 mL) with a mean maximum internal pressure of 47.6 cmH2O, while the mean post-micturition residual volume was 28 mL; no patient needs to use self-catheterization. Given the short intestinal length used, no metabolic clinical problems have occurred. CONCLUSIONS The concept of using the caecum arose from physiological and anatomical assumptions, i.e. receptive relaxation, the presence of taeniae and ileocaecal sphincter. Taeniamyotomies can achieve the same goals as detubularization, i.e. a reduction of wall tension and internal pressure and a near-spherical shape, but, in contrast, by leaving the circular muscle intact, they allow a good basal tone to be maintained thus obtaining optimal emptying and avoiding deterioration of the reservoir.

Abstract
Adenomatoid tumour is an uncommon neoplasm of the male genital tract. The Authors report their recent observation of three consecutive cases of adenomatoi tumour of the epididymis. In all cases the diagnosis was difficult and done only by an accurate histological examination. The treatment was conservative, consisting in the removal of the neoplasm. After a follow up of at least two years the patients do not show any sign of relapses confirming the validity of the surgical therapeutical approach performed. Because of the unfrequent observation of these forms and the difficulty in the diagnosis, the Authors stress the necessity of the surgical exploration with an accurate microscopic examination of the specimens. Moreover a review of the literature from a histological and therapeutical point of view was done and reported.

Abstract
Three cases of bilateral renal tumours are reported. A radical nephrectomy in the side with the larger tumour and a nephron-sparing surgery (partial nephrectomy or enucleo-resection) in kidney with smaller lesions was performed in two cases. A bilateral partial nephrectomy was performed in the last patient (tumours larger than 5 cm). Two of them performed a needle CT-guided biopsy before surgery, but full disagreement was found between pre and post-operative histological results. In addition, we outline that a second lesion was found intraoperatively in the case n. 3, without any radiological and sonographic finding. We stress the importance of a conservative surgery in case of bilateral neoplasms. Only surgery could assure a careful staging and histological diagnosis.

Abstract
Since 1987, 30 patients with bladder cancer underwent cystoprostatectomy with bladder replacement via ileocecourethrostomy. Multiple transverse teniamyotomies were made in the cecum to assure a large capacity reservoir with low pressures. The particular anatomy and physiology of the cecum, short length of the intestinal segment needed and teniamyotomies are the 3 factors that have allowed for good functional and metabolic results. All patients achieved daytime continence. After 3 years of followup 67% of the patients were continent at night if they voided every 3 or 4 hours and 22% if they voided every 2 or 3 hours, while 11% experienced enuresis. Urodynamic data after 1 year showed a mean capacity of 396 ml. for the new bladder, a mean full filling pressure of 28 cm. water and a mean maximum pressure of 55 cm. water. Post-micturition residual urine volume was consistently less than 55 ml. These results indicate that the ileocecal segment can be enlarged with myotomies through the tenia to produce an adequate capacity and a low pressure bladder replacement without the need for formal detubularization.

Abstract
From 1986 to 1990, 8 cases of urethrospongiosal fistulas were observed. All the patients had a history of bleeding after a difficult catheterization. The symptoms were not pathognomonic but the fistulas were visible only by X-ray examination. The authors suggest that urethrospongiosal fistulas are more common than one expects, especially in cases of bleeding after complicated catheterization. This is more frequent when coexistent urethral strictures or prostatic hypertrophy make the maneuver difficult. The authors also suggest that the urinary extravasation in the corpus spongiosum could explain the pathophysiology of the urethral manipulation syndrome according to Kelamy.

Abstract
Eleven cases of ileocaeco-urethroplasty, performed over a 2-year period, are presented. The patients had low grade bladder cancer infiltrating into but not extending beyond the muscle layer (B-T3a). Following radiotherapy a total cystectomy was performed up to the verumontanum; afterwards the prostatic cuff was anastomosed to an ileocaecal segment. The patients have been followed up for 13 to 39 months. One died from metastases after 30 months. The others are alive and in good psychological condition, with satisfactory micturition. We believe this surgical option deserves more careful consideration.

Abstract
The authors assess the sensitivity and specificity of the antibody-coated bacteria assay for the localization of urinary tract infections. The results are compared with those obtained from cultures of urine samples taken from the upper tract either by ureteral catheterization or by direct puncture of the renal pelvis. In upper urinary tract infections the research of total immunoglobulins has proven positive in 71.4% of the cases; of the IgA class in 71.4%; of the IgG class in 57.1%; of the IgM class in 28.6% and of the secretory component of IgA in 60% of the patients. In case of lower urinary tract infections the research of total immunoglobulins was positive in 25% of the cases: that of the IgA class in 8.3%; of the IgG in 25%; of the IgM in 25% and of the secretory component of IgA in 22.2% of patients.
