    Abstract Introduction: To describe oncological outcomes, effects on renal function and complications with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of T1 renal tumors in an 8-year experience.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective study of RFA in 89 consecutive patients between 2005 and 2013 was undertaken. Those with metastatic disease, incomplete follow-up, genetic pre-disposition to renal tumors and biopsy proven benign pathology were excluded, with 79 patients meeting inclusion criteria. Data was collected on demographics, oncological outcomes, complications and effects on renal function.
    Results: We demonstrate 94% disease-free survival at median follow-up of 29 months in a population consisting of 42 T1a and 37 T1b tumors. No disease related deaths were recorded in the follow-up period. Post-RFA decline in renal function was shown to correlate with tumor size and increased age (p = 0.0009/0.0021). Pre-existing renal impairment was a risk for post-RFA function decline (p < 0.005). Two complications were encountered in the series.
    Conclusion: RFA produces durable oncological outcomes in T1 tumors with a minimal effect on renal function and low risk of complications. Patients at risk of developing renal impairment can be identified from described risk factors.

    Abstract Recent instances of governments and others refusing humanitarian assistance to refugees and IDPs (internally-displaced persons) unless they agreed to polio immunization for their children raise difficult ethical challenges. The authors argue that states have the right and a responsibility to require such vaccinations in instances where the serious vaccine-preventable disease(s) at issue threaten others, including local populations, humanitarian workers, and others in camps or support settings.

    Abstract Introduction: Iatrogenic ureteric injuries are a rare but serious complication of abdomino-pelvic surgery which can be associated with significant morbidity. 65-80% of ureteric trauma is only identified in the postoperative period. Current guidelines recommend stent insertion or urinary diversion via percutaneous nephrostomy. Good quality evidence on success and outcomes remains scant and the optimum treatment pathway unknown.
    Methods: A retrospective review of all delayed presentation ureteric injuries treated in our unit between 2005 and 2013 was performed. Clinical, treatment and outcome data were collected in a custom proforma.
    Results: 19 patients with 21 injured ureters met inclusion criteria. 16/19 (84.2%) injuries were sustained during gynaecological procedures with 10 (52.6%) of these during total abdominal hysterectomy. Suspected mechanisms from diagnostic studies was defined as partial transection in 9/21 (42.9%), complete transection in 3/21 (14.3%) and perforation in 1/21 (4.8%).Median time from injury to presentation was 16 days (IQR 7-25). 11/21 (52.4%) had successful stenting with a median time to stent placement of 25 days (IQR 18.5-42). Those with failed stenting had a median time to attempted stenting of 65 days (IQR 10-91.3). Those with successful stenting 3/11 (27.3%) had resolution requiring no further intervention. 6/11 (54.5%) required open reconstruction, with the remaining two patients unfit for reconstruction and managed with long term stents. With successful stenting median time to definitive surgery was 413 days (IQR 156-476).
    Conclusion: Success rates for stenting are similar to those reported in the literature (55% vs. 44-59%), but resolution rates are significantly lower (15% vs. 44-80%). Data for an endourological approach as a possible long-term solution is limited by heterogeneity, and a further well conducted multicentre prospective study is required.

    Abstract Introduction: Haematuria is a common red flag symptom of urinary tract cancer. Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common cancer to present with haematuria. Women presenting with haematuria are often underdiagnosed. Currently, no gender-specific tests are utilized in clinical practice. Considerable healthcare resources are needed to investigate causes of haematuria and this study was set up to help identify markers of BC. The aim of the study was to define biomarker algorithms in haematuria patients using an expanded panel of biomarkers to diagnose BC and investigate if the algorithms are gender-specific.
    Materials and methods: A total of n=675 patients with a history of haematuria were recruited from Northern Ireland hospitals. Patients were collected on a 2:1 ratio, non-BC (control) n=474: BC n=201. A detailed clinical history, urine and blood samples were collected. Biomarkers, known to be involved in the pathobiology underlying bladder carcinogenesis were investigated. Biomarkers differentially expressed between groups were investigated using Wilcoxon rank sum and linear regression.
    Results: Biomarkers were gender specific. Two biomarker-algorithms were identified to triage haematuria patients; male - u_NSE, s_PAI-1/tPA, u_midkine, u_NGAL, u_MMP-9/TIMP-1 and s_prolactin (u=urine; s=serum); sensitivity 71.8%, specificity 72.8%; AUROC 0.795; and female urine biomarkers - IL-12p70, IL-13, midkine and clusterin; sensitivity 83.7%, specificity 79.7%; AUROC 0.865. Addition of the clinical variable infection to both algorithms increased both AUROC to 0.822 (DeLong p=0.014) and to 0.923 (DeLong p=0.004) for males and females, respectively. Combining clinical risk factors with biomarker algorithms would enable application of the algorithms to triage haematuria patients.
    Conclusion: Using gender-specific biomarker algorithms in combination with clinical risks that are associated with BC would allow clinicians to better manage haematuria patients and potentially reduce underdiagnosis in females. In this study, we demonstrate, for the first time, that blood and urine biomarkers are gender-specific when assessing risk of BC in patients who present with blood in their urine. Combining biomarker data with clinical factors could improve triage when referring patients for further investigations.

    Abstract Objective: Hyperoxaluria leads to calcium oxalate crystal formation and subsequent urolithiasis. This study aims to analyse the effect of treatment compliance in hyperoxaluria, firstly by analysis of patients with non-primary hyperoxaluria and secondly via systematic review in patients with any hyperoxaluria.
    Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, adults with non-primary hyperoxaluria managed with dietary counselling in 2013 were enrolled. Twenty-four-hour (24 h) urine collections initially and at 6 months were obtained. Compliance was assessed by self-reported dietary compliance and 24 h urinary volume >2 L. Patients were followed for 24 months. Primary outcomes were urinary oxalate and calcium 24 h load at 6 months, and urolithiasis-related procedural rates at 24 months. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-compatible systematic review of compliance among hyperoxaluric patients was performed.
    Results: In the cohort study, of 19 eligible patients (4 female) with median age 52 years, 10 (53%) were considered compliant. Compared with the non-compliant group, these patients had significantly increased subsequent 24 h urinary volume (2250 mL
    Conclusion: Hyperoxaluria is an important cause of recurrent urolithiasis. Increasing fluid intake and reducing dietary oxalate reduce the risk of operative intervention and remain fundamental to the treatment of hyperoxaluria.
