Comment: Planning for the post-antibiotic era — why we must avoid TRUS-guided biopsy sampling Declan G. Murphy & Jeremy P. Grummet Published online: 20 September 2016 p559 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.176 Health officials are warning that overuse of antibiotics and increasing antibiotic resistance mean that these drugs could soon become useless. Urologists have to take some responsibility as we continue to perform prostate biopsy sampling using a transrectal approach, which increases the possibility of bacterial infection.

Urinary incontinence: Making sense of the urinary microbiota in clinical urology Gregor Reid & Jeremy P. Burton Published online: 20 September 2016 p567 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.182 Some urologists might be surprised that the urinary tract is not sterile, and bacteria might have important roles in a number of urological conditions such as urge incontinence. This paradigm shift, which has been further illustrated by data from a recent study, has implications for how urologists diagnose disease and treat patients.

Prostate cancer: Birth of a standard: MET-RADS-P for metastatic prostate cancer Baris Turkbey & Peter L. Choyke Published online: 31 August 2016 p568 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.163 METastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer (MET-RADS-P) is the first effort to provide the burgeoning field of whole body-MRI (WB-MRI) with minimum standards of image acquisition, interpretation, and reporting; it should act as a catalyst for promoting the use of this promising method.

Bladder cancer: Low adherence to guidelines in non-muscle-invasive disease Bas W. G. van Rhijn & Maximilian Burger Published online: 31 August 2016 p570 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.165 The American Urological Association, the Society of Urologic Oncology and the European Association of Urology have recently updated their guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Several studies show that adherence to these guidelines is low, especially in North America. Physicians should try to comply with these guidelines to ensure optimal quality of care.

Nocturia: aetiology and treatment in adults Hasan Dani, Ashanda Esdaille & Jeffrey P. Weiss Published online: 26 July 2016 p573 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.134 Nocturia is a very common condition with major sequelae for affected patients. It leads to impaired quality of life and is associated with numerous morbidities including diabetes, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and depression. In this Review, the authors discuss the clinical relevance of nocturia and the need for treatment. They describe the various aetiologies of the condition and discuss a contemporary approach to its treatment and management, including methods to tailor treatment strategies to individual patients.

Epigenetics in male reproduction: effect of paternal diet on sperm quality and offspring health Undraga Schagdarsurengin & Klaus Steger Published online: 31 August 2016 p584 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.157 In this Review, the authors summarize current knowledge of sperm-specific epigenetic signatures and diet-induced epigenetic effects on sperm quality. They also discuss transgenerational effects of the sperm epigenome on offspring health. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Putative functions of tissue kallikrein-related peptidases in vaginal fluid Carla M. J. Muytjens, Stella K. Vasiliou, Katerina Oikonomopoulou, Ioannis Prassas & Eleftherios P. Diamandis Published online: 07 September 2016 p596 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.161 Proteomic and biochemical studies on cervical-vaginal fluid (CVF) have revealed that it contains several members of the tissue kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) family. The roles of KLKs in the lower female reproductive system are not fully understood. In this Review, Muytjens and colleagues discuss the putative roles of KLKs in vaginal fluid and how increased understanding of their function could result in new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.

Medical expulsive therapy for ureteral stones: where do we go from here? Bhaskar K. Somani, Omar Aboumarzouk, Olivier Traxer, Joyce Baard, Guido Kamphuis & Jean de la Rosette Published online: 02 August 2016 p608 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.146 Medical expulsive therapy (MET) has been widely used for the management of ureteral stones for the past two decades, despite limited evidence on the effectiveness of this approach. In the past year, data from two clinical trials has called the continued use of MET into question. Here, the authors consider the role of MET in the managment of ureteral stones, in light of this improved level of evidence. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inflammatory mediators in the development and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia Cosimo De Nunzio, Fabrizio Presicce & Andrea Tubaro Published online: 30 September 2016 p613 | doi:10.1038/nrurol.2016.168 The prostate is an immune-competent organ and several stimuli have been identified as possible triggers for dysregulation of the prostatic immune system via molecular pathways involving the development of inflammatory infiltrates. From a pathophysiological standpoint, subsequent tissue damage and chronic tissue healing could result in the development of BPH nodules. In this Review, the authors discuss the immunopathology of BPH and consider its links to prostate cancer and other disorders from an immunological viewpoint.
