In 'Episode 4' of the special podcast series on "Uro-oncologic surgery driven by new technologies", Prof. Ricardo Autorino (IT) talks to expert Assoc. Prof. Giovanni Enrico Cacciamani (US) about Artificial intelligence application for urologic cancer detection and classification.Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised urologic cancer detection by leveraging principles from computer science, machine learning and deep learning. In this context, AI serves as a powerful tool to improve the accuracy and efficiency of cancer diagnosis and treatment.Assoc. Prof. Cacciamani shares his knowledge how computer science forms the foundation of AI algorithms, enabling the processing and analysis of vast datasets, including medical images and patient records. Machine learning techniques, a subset of AI, are applied to these datasets to create predictive models that can identify patterns and anomalies within patient data. Deep learning, a specialised branch of machine learning, excels in image recognition tasks and has been instrumental in the interpretation of medical images like CT scans, MRI scans, and histopathological slides.By implementing AI in urologic cancer detection, healthcare professionals can achieve faster and more accurate diagnosis, early cancer detection, and personalised treatment recommendations. AI systems can assist in the identification of tumours, tracking their growth over time, and predicting patient outcomes. This integration of AI technologies enhances the quality of patient care, potentially leading to better survival rates and improved overall well-being for individuals with urologic cancers.This podcast was produced in collaboration with the YAU Urotechnology group.

During the past decade “the number of new drugs and the pathways that we're targeting has expanded so much; it's a very exciting time,” said Eric Singer, MD, a kidney cancer specialist and the new division chief for urologic oncology at the James. In this episode, Singer discusses how and why he got into medicine and oncology, why he uprooted from New Jersey to come to Ohio State, and some of the many advances in treating urologic cancers. A new clinical trial for kidney cancer patients introduces targeted therapy drugs and immunotherapy drugs to patients prior to surgery. Another clinical trial utilizes different combinations of drugs; and another clinical trial uses “adjuvant” therapy after surgery. “It's the idea that after surgery, even though there is no evidence of cancer, we give the drugs to reduce the chance of it coming back [for high-risk patients],” Singer explained. Urologic cancers include kidney, cladder, prostate, testicular, penial and adrenal cancers. The James division of urologic oncology is growing, and Singer is actively recruiting new surgeons. “I look for someone with incredible passion and a commitment to being a great surgeon, someone who is always thinking how does this benefit the patient,” he said. Singer also talked about how cancer has impacted his family, including his sister, who passed away from ovarian cancer. “Seeing her go through it … was heartbreaking and also so inspiring,” he said, adding her journey has inspired him to go above and beyond for his patients.

Complex urologic infections are a heterogeneous group of underlying conditions. These patients have upper urinary tract infections (UTIs) and structural or functional abnormalities that reduce the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. They are at greater risk for treatment failure and morbidity, such as bacteremia and sepsis, perinephric abscess, renal deterioration and emphysematous pyelonephritis. While there are general management principles that can be applied to most patients with complex urologic infections, effective treatment requires a comprehensive, personalized approach to improve patient outcomes.In pursuit of this goal, the Northwestern Medicine Complex Urologic Infectious Diseases Clinic is the first of its kind in the country. The clinic will provide a multidisciplinary, coordinated approach to care for affected patients. In this Better Edge podcast episode, the clinic's founders – Anthony J. Schaeffer, MD, of the Northwestern Medicine Department of Urology, and Teresa R. Zembower, MD, and Janna L. Williams, MD, of the Northwestern Medicine Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department Medicine – introduce the new clinic and discuss their team's current projects and future directions.

In this episode we discuss robotic radical prostatectomy as a treatment option for prostate cancer. Over the last 20 years, robotic radical prostatectomy has become the gold standard for surgical management of prostate cancer.  While the concept of robotic surgery is exciting, it also leads to a lot of questions amongst men faced with a decision as to how to treat their prostate cancer.  How does the procedure actually work?  Is the surgery performed by a surgeon or by a robot?  What are the risks and side effects? Are all men good candidates for the procedure.  And, of course, how effectively does it cure prostate cancer?  To answer these questions we turned to Dr. Alexander Kutikov.  Dr. Kutikov is a Professor and Chief of Urology and Urologic Oncology at the Fox Chase Cancer Center. He is a board certified, academic urologic surgical oncologist who treats urologic tumors using minimally invasive (robotic / laparoscopic) and traditional surgical techniques. Dr. Kutikov received an MD from Harvard Medical School's Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology Program in 2003. He then completed his Urologic residency training at the University of Pennsylvania in 2008 and finished a 2-year Society of Urologic Oncology fellowship at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, USA. He has co-authored more than 170 original manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and has published chapters in leading urologic textbooks as well as holding leadership positions both in the American College of Surgeons and the American Urological Association.

Shane Pearce is the Director of Urologic Oncology at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, WA. He talks with us about advances in robotic surgery, immunotherapy, and why the Sears Tower isn't a reliable unit of measurement!

“Urology is a subspecialty,” says Khatiwoda. “It's a surgical subspecialty that focuses on the genital urinary systems and disorders of the genital urinary system. It's essentially how you pee, how your kidneys work, your bladder, prostate in men, and some urethra and vaginal disorders in women.”“My subspecialty is gynecology, and it's a blend of both urology and gynecology,” says Moyerbrailean. “Matter of fact, that's where it got its start. The two boards got together to make a discipline that just focuses on female pelvic floor disorders. In addition to problems with the bladder and the urethra, we also deal mostly with pelvic floor issues like prolapse, uterine prolapse, and bladder prolapse.”“I'm a general adult urologist,” Khatiwoda says. “I see men and women and practice general urology. Kidney stones are a big part of it. Urinary disorders or what we call voiding dysfunction are a part of it. Incontinence in women or leakage of urine is a big part of it.“When most people hear about urology, they usually think of men's health and men's issues. It's very nice to have someone who's female focused like Dr. Moyerbrailean. It brings a certain element to our practice that you don't always think about when you hear the word urology. In terms of practice philosophy, it's about providing something to the community that many may not even realize is available. Urology is a personal subspecialty. You're dealing with a lot of things that people aren't always very forthcoming about. At MSU Urology, we're here to provide excellent care to the community and provide urologic care that's at the top of the technological forefront. For me personally, it's about building relationships with people and helping them open up about something that's quite personal that they may be embarrassed to talk about otherwise.”What symptoms would someone experience that would lead them to seek out a urologist?“In general, we see men and women who have urinary issues,” says Khatiwoda. “Are you peeing too much? Are you not peeing enough? Are you leaking when you shouldn't be? Are you not able to empty when you should be? And we see anyone who sees blood in the urine, anyone with a history of kidney stones, and anyone who has infections more frequently than they should. And there are things that they may not be aware of that their primary doctor would figure out, like is there a growth somewhere in one of the genital urinary organs, the kidneys, the bladder, the penis, or the urethra?”“I don't treat men,” Moyerbrailean says. “My training was based in obstetrics and gynecology and branched out into urogynecology. But we also do similar treatments with women, especially women with overactive bladder. That's probably one of the biggest things we see and one of the areas that women tend not to want to come in to see the doctor about or are embarrassed to talk about. But it is so common. Up to 80 percent of women by the age 80 have an overactive bladder. They just feel like they have to go all the time. And a lot of times their friends are telling them that there's just nothing they can do about it. That's wrong. There are plenty of things that can be done that can actually help alleviate some of those symptoms. Where I differ from my urologic counterparts is I deal a lot more with pelvic floor problems, mostly the prolapse issues.“Some would say it's a result of childbirth. And most women are afraid to come in and have that treated figuring that surgery is the only thing that can be done when that's not accurate either. That's one of the big myths in this field, and there are things you could do that actually help alleviate those symptoms.”Say more about how you treat urologic disease. “Urology is unique in that while it's a surgical subspecialty, we actually do a lot of nonsurgical treatments,” continues Khatiwoda. “For most of the benign disorders - so obviously not cancer, but non-cancerous disorders - the first step is very basic and it's usually behavioral therapy. There are medications and then typically the last step tends to be surgery. There are surgical treatments for almost every disorder that a patient might come to see us for. We tend to start very basic and then move up from there.”“Sometimes people think all we want to do is perform surgery,” Moyerbrailean adds. “The majority of the time we're not doing surgery; we're actually treating the person first and finding out what exactly they need. What are their goals? We figure that out at the very first visit. Where are they in their care and what do they want? We give them the options and let them choose.”Are there particular challenges in treating urologic diseases? And is there research or new treatments on the horizon you're excited about?“Sometimes patients come to us with an expectation that we can't always meet,” Khatiwoda continues. “Let's say you have someone who has had a problem for 20 years and they finally can come and see a urologist. We do get some patients who expect immediate and 100 percent change. It's almost impossible to take a problem that's been there for 20 years and fix it in 20 minutes. But the nice thing is, you don't have to see a urologist once in your life.“It's usually a lifelong relationship with your urologist. And there really is a certain trial and error that comes with a lot of the benign urology issues where you try something and if it doesn't work, then we reevaluate you in the clinic and then we try something else and ultimately look for a goal that improves your quality of life. You may never be how you were when you were 18 or 20, but we can certainly get you to a point where you're more comfortable and you're happier with your symptoms than you were when you came in.”“We treat on a bother-most system where we go after what bothers you the most and try to help you in that respect,” continues Moyerbrailean. “Some things we can't cure. We are trying, and there's always new research coming out. We're always talking about new things. But that's really where our challenge is. Some of our disorders are not curable, but they are certainly treatable. And we've got a lot of treatments to offer.”“I feel like there's always something new,” Khatiwoda says. “We really are living in an exciting time of medicine where there is always something new. And from a general urology standpoint, the way we look for cancers, especially prostate cancer in men, has really changed the game. First, it used to just be a doctor felt your prostate and if there was something abnormal, they did a biopsy. Then it was the PSA lab test. Now we're at a point where we can do MRIs of the prostate and really pinpoint specific areas that need to be biopsied. Even since I graduated residency in 2018, there has been a huge shift in how we look at men and men's health and prostate cancer. So, yes, it seems like there's always something new every day. And it's a very exciting time to be a urologist.”“Again, my specific focus is pelvic floor disorder,” says Moyerbrailean. “It's basically weakened tissue in the female pelvis. There's a lot of work being done now in stem cell research trying to figure out ways to improve the tissue quality. If we could improve tissue, then we would have a better chance at successfully fixing it or maybe preventing it all together.”Is urologic disease hereditary, environmental, or a combination? Can we avoid some or all of it with a healthier life?“It's definitely a combination,” says Khatiwoda. “There are some things that genetics can be blamed for. Kidney stones are one of those. But at the same time, if you have a genetic predilection but you also don't drink any water, your risk is way higher than if you're someone who is well hydrated. Genetics are big. So are your environmental factors and the decisions you make about your health.”“We go back and forth about that in the research world as far as the pelvic floor and whether or not that's something that's hereditary or not,” says Moyerbrailean. “We're still looking for answers in that respect. Smoking and occupations that are very strenuous are much more likely to lead to disorders. You can make a difference by changing your health and lifestyles.”Are there some facts about urology you'd like to reinforce or some myths you often hear that you'd like to dispel?“I have one that really gets my goat,” continues Khatiwoda. “It comes from anyone who has had a kidney stone and passed it on their own without seeing a urologist. They always come in and they say, ‘I have not had any calcium. I don't drink any milk. I gave up all dairy.' That is not a good thing to do. It's typically not calcium that's the problem. It's other things in your diet. I mentioned a lack of hydration. It's usually not drinking enough water or other food issues.“There are things called oxalates that are found in a variety of foods, even in foods we think are healthy, that can contribute to stone formation. The first thing I tell my patients, especially post-menopausal women who seem to get stones, is to make sure they get the amount of calcium that they need to get. That means the normal dietary recommendation because otherwise you're going to start having trouble with osteoporosis, and it's probably not going to make your stone risk any better. That is something that I think people don't have a great understanding of because they think stones are made of calcium. They decide to cut out all calcium. But that's usually not what you need to do to make your situation better.”“I think the biggest myth in my field is that surgery is the only possible option, and that's not true,” says Moyerbrailean. “As a matter of fact, we probably do nonsurgical therapy for eight out of every nine patients who come to us with some type of a pelvic floor disorder to give them adequate relief. One in five women actually in their lifetime will end up having surgery or some type of a treatment for either urinary incontinence or prolapse of some sort.”“If you're concerned about a problem with your bladder or you've got a problem with your bowels, seek out your family doctor and talk to them. If they're not comfortable taking care of you, MSU Urology is here. We can definitely take them on and that's what we do. We do it day in and day out. It's pretty straightforward for us and we do everything we can to make our patients comfortable.”MSU Today airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 on WKAR News/Talk and streams at WKAR.org.

A recent study conducted at Duke University Hospital and published in the Journal of Endourology found that a new single-use cystoscope demonstrated superior flexion and comparable optics to the reusable scopes already being used in a hospital urology department.  Dr. Michael Lipkin, a urologist in Durham, North Carolina, and one of the study's authors, joined Endoscopy Insights to discuss the findings. In our conversation, he talks about the key technological capabilities of the cystoscopes that he and his fellow researchers set out to assess, and other factors that impact the calculus of single-use vs. reusable. Lipkin also touches on a physician feedback survey that was done as part of the research and what his fellow urologists had to say, and other issues such as cost, infection prevention, and environmental factors.

Dr. Jim Hu MD discusses Anatomic and Technical Considerations for Kidney and Prostate Surgery 5/8/20

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the importance of diet and nutrition to your urologic health. While many people know diet and lifestyle can adversely affect their bodies, urologic conditions like kidney stones, buried penis, or interstitial cystitis may not be top of mind. At NAU Urology Specialists, we see many patients with painful conditions that can be mitigated in large part by changes to what they eat. We offer a holistic approach to urology by treating the whole patient rather than isolated issues. Helping us to facilitate this practice is PA Shefaly Ravula, our integrative health specialist, who provides in-depth diagnostic consultations and wellness plans that help patients regain control of their health. While many people only pursue such options when faced with a chronic illness like cancer or diabetes, we urge our patients and listeners to be proactive and take steps to prevent illness in the first place. If you or someone you love are interested in learning more about the benefits of a holistic approach to medicine and the services we offer at NAU Urology Specialists, please give us a call today and visit Shefaly's website, http://www.shefskitchen.com.Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice in 2007.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share us with a friend!

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer some fascinating listener questions! First, Dr. Mistry addresses the question of female ejaculation--is it real, and if so, what substance is female ejaculate made of? Unfortunately, women are not able to ejaculate because they do not have a prostate organ where ejaculate is made. Many women do in fact "squirt" with orgasm, and this fluid can be several different sources. Lubricant already in the vagina during sex can be squeezed out with orgasm. Likewise, fluid discharged from one of the many glands that surround the opening of the vagina can be expelled when the pelvic floor contracts. Finally, urine is a likely candidate when a woman squirts--especially if she already has a history of urinary leakage. No matter the source, "female ejaculation" is normal, healthy, and non-toxic. Next, Dr. Mistry answers a female listener asking what services are offered at NAU Urology Specialists that cater specifically to women's needs. Not only do we offer exceptional care for all the "standard" urologic complaints (kidney stones, kidney/bladder tumors, etc.), but we also emphasize holistic urologic care that extends to interconnected aspects of health and wellness. Our diverse team boasts experienced practitioners in areas like fertility, weight loss, nutrition/metabolic health, sleep disorders, pelvic floor physical therapy, and sexual dysfunction--to name just a few! If you or a woman you love would like to learn more about our offerings for female patients, please give us a call today!

Conversation with Rachael Sussman, MD, Assistant Professor, Urology & OB-GYN, Medstar Medical Group, about kidney and bladder problems including types, risk factors, causes, and symptoms; also, treatment options and lifestyle changes to prevent these conditions

Emergency care providers regularly encounter urologic disease in the ED, often without the availability or assistance of a board-certified urologist. Common urologic clinical dilemmas in the emergency department include the management of acute urinary retention, nephrolithiasis, testicular (and ovarian) torsion. In this episode, we will review clinical conundrums related to each of the aforementioned urologic pathologies.Watch Dr. Tabatabai's presentation @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFEhKU-Thc

In this episode of The Women's Pelvic Health Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Vapnek, a top Urologist located in New York City, who offers comprehensive urologic care with a special focus on urinary control problems amongst women. He is extremely knowledgable on the pelvic floor and has a deep understanding of the correlation between bladder dysfunctions and pelvic floor dysfunctions (which many urologists don't quite understand). Dr. Vapnek discusses important topics such as why so many women have both bladder conditions and pelvic floor conditions, how pelvic floor physical therapy can help fix bladder problems, how Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is both diagnosed and treated, if you can ever fully recover from IC, what to look for when finding a urologist and why online support groups are NOT an accurate sample of patients. This is a fascinating episode that you do not want to miss. Please don't forget to rate this podcast in the iTunes Store and to leave a comment (comments help tremendously to improve the rating)!
