Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare but well-defined congenital anomaly. AUV can be isolated or occur in association with anterior urethral diverticulum (AUD). Here, we present the first pediatric case report of AUV and AUD which is complicated with an intradiverticular stone. We also review the literature involving AUV with AUD cases.

Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare, benign proliferation of glands of the urinary tract, usually occurring as a result of chronic inflammation, trauma or other similar chronic injuries to the urothelial mucosa. We aimed to share two pediatric cases diagnosed with NA in our hospital between the years 2010 and 2016. The first case was polypoid type NA of the bladder and the second case was fibromyxoid NA of the urethra.

Objective Prostate cancer (PCa) is observed in men aged 50 years and older. The incidence increases in parallel to aging. Survival rate for PCa increases with effective screening programs and therapies. Elongated life expectancy may lead to a decrease in quality of life, muscle strength and physical activity level; an increase in fatigue and sleep problems. To preclude the occurrence of these symptoms, the preventive physiotherapy approaches may be used in PCa patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the attitude of patients with PCa towards preventative physiotherapy approaches. Materials and Methods Patients who were diagnosed with PCa in Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Urology were invited to participate in the preventive physiotherapy services provided in Gazi University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Oncologic Rehabilitation Unit. Results Three hundred forty-four patients were invited, only 20 (5.8%) patients participated in the study. Twenty (5.8%) patients did not attend the appointment despite agreeing to participate in the study. Other 304 (88.4%) patients did not join the study for several reasons. Conclusion The reason for low participation rate may be inadequate information of PCa patients about preventive physiotherapy. The results of this study highlight the need for making preventive physiotherapy applications recognizable for PCa patients.
