Age‐related white matter hyperintensities and overactive bladder: a systematic ...
Pereira E Silva, Ricardo; de Sousa, Diana Aguiar; Lopes, Filipe Abadesso; Silva‐Ramos, Miguel; Verdelho, AnaIntroduction: Age-related white matter hyperintensities (ARWMHs) on brain magnetic resonance imaging have been associated with lower urinary tract symptoms/dysfunction (LUTS/LUTD), namely overactive bladder (OAB) and detrusor overactivity. We aimed to systematically review existing data on the association between ARWMH and LUTS and which clinical tools have been used for this assessment. Materials and methods: ...

Circulating tumor cell detection methods in renal cell carcinoma : a systematic...
Palmela Leitão, Tito; Miranda, Miguel; Polido, Joana; Morais, João; Corredeira, Patrícia; Alves, Patrícia; Ribeiro-de-Oliveira, TiagoCirculating tumor cells (CTCs) have a potential role as the missing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) biomarker. However, the available evidence is limited, and detection methods lack standardization, hindering clinical use. We performed a systematic review on CTC enrichment and detection methods, and its role as a biomarker in RCC. Full-text screening identified 54 studies. Reviewed studies showed wide heterogeneity,...
A prospective randomized trial comparing the Vienna nomogram and a ten-core pro...
Palmela Leitão, Tito; Alfarelos, Joana; Rodrigues, Teresa; Pereira E Silva, Ricardo; Garcia, Rodrigo; Martinho, David; Sandul, Anatoliy; Mendonça, TiagoWe performed a prospective randomized study of men undergoing prostate biopsy randomized to a Vienna nomogram protocol (group A) or a 10-core protocol (group B). The results suggest that the use of the Vienna nomogram does not significantly increase the overall cancer detection rate compared with a 10-core biopsy scheme. Further prospective randomized studies, with adequate sample sizes, are needed to definitiv...
