Multicenter Study Observational Study
Clinical and urodynamic impact of detrusor overactivity in women with overactive bladder.
To evaluate the clinical and urodynamic differences (associated with the presence or absence of detrusor overactivity [DO]) in women with overactive bladder (OAB) referred to Functional Urology and Urodynamic Units in Spain. ⋯ The presence of DO in women with OAB is related to a more severe alteration of the bladder filling phase.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Randomized comparative study for the assessment of a new therapeutic schedule of fosfomycin trometamol in postmenopausal women with uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection].
To compare two therapeutic regimes in terms of bacterial eradication of post-menopausal with uncomplicated acute cystitis who complete antibiotic treatment. ⋯ The FMT administered at a dose of 3g every 72hours (2 total doses) and ciprofloxacin at a dose of 250mg every 12hours during 3 days (6 total doses) have a comparable efficacy profile in lower tract urinary infection in post-menopausal women who adequately comply with the treatment, also having comparable safety. The FMT has a better antimicrobial susceptibility profile and better rate of treatment compliance.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Radical prostatectomy: evaluation of learning curve outcomes laparoscopic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques with radical retropubic prostatectomy].
Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer. New techniques are being developed with less invasive methods, including laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). The aim of the study is to compare LRP and RALP outcomes during the learning curve with RRP, especially operative time and surgical complications. ⋯ Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy requires a longer learning curve than robotic-assisted prostatectomy. Operative time in RALP procedures was comparable to RRP cases. RALP showed benefits in terms of continence and intraoperative bleeding.
