Abstract

International audience; : Hydrological models have become practical tools to understand impacts in water resources and to support the development of management policies. Precipitation is a major driving force of hydrological processes and is one of the main input datasets for hydrological models. However, gauge measurements have several issues, such as incomplete areal coverage and deficiencies over most tropical regions. The precipitation data obtained by remote sensing is an alternative in areas where data is scarce or not available, like in the tropics. However, the feasibility of using satellite-based precipitation products for simulating streamflow needs to be verified, for different hydrological models and basins. Congo River Basin is one of the least studied major river basins in the world and suffers from the scarcity and difficulty in accessing rain gauge data, which makes satellite precipitation estimates necessary for hydrological studies. In this study, we analyzed twenty-three satellite-based precipitation products, acquired from Frequent Rainfall Observations on GridS (FROGS) daily precipitation database. We evaluated these precipitation products over the Congo River Basin using the hydrological model SWAT (Solid & Water Assessment Tool) for streamflow and water balance components at basin scale. Our findings showed that the products based on satellite-only source tend to overestimate the rainy season peaks in comparison with the 3B42_V7 product. On the other hand, the satellite products that consider gauge calibration presented better agreements between each other. The hydrological model was able to reproduce the general precipitation products characteristics, while the gauge-adjusted satellite products performed better than those without gauge adjustments. Thus, the overall precipitation patterns have a crucial effect on model’s performance and leads to different streamflow and water balance components values. The choice of rainfall product has a significant importance in the interpretation of the simulated hydrological cycle.

Abstract

Mayor urological complications, fistulae and stenosis, mainly affect the vesicoureteral anastomosis and present in the early post-transplant period. The systematic use of ureteral catheters keeps selecbeing controversial with many groups using them only selectively depending on the existence of pretransplant or intraoperative risk factors.We performed a bibliographic review through automatized search in the Medline bibliographic database, as the main bibliographic source, and also in Clinical Key. The search strategy included the following terms: "stent" AND "kidney transplantation".The bibliographic search revealed the protective effect of the use of ureteral catheters in the transplant ureteroneocystostomy for both development of fistulae (RR 0.29, 0.12 to 0.74, p=0.009) and stenosis (RR 0.27, 0.09 to 0.81, p=0.02). The use of catheters in immunosuppressed patients was associated with significant increase of the incidence of post-transplant urinary tract infections (RR 1.49 IC 95% 1.04 to 2.15, p=0.03) that was prevented by antibiotic prophylaxis with cotrimoxazole directed against pneumocistis carinii. The rates of permeability of self-expandable metallic stents and extra-anatomic bypasses in the treatment of ureteral stenosis after renal transplantation in high surgical risk patients or after the failure of previous surgery, has varied from 50% to 100%, with a limited number of patients included.The use of ureteral catheters in the extravesical ureteroneocystostomy reduces the incidence of anastomotic complications. Surgery is the treatment of choice of post-transplant ureteral stenosis. The use of metallic stents and extra-anatomic bypasses should be limited to complex ureteral stenosis when primary therapy has failed, in high surgical risk patients or chronic graft dysfunction.

Abstract

Background: The Bladder Cancer Index (BCI) is so far the only instrument applicable across all bladder cancer patients, independent of tumor infiltration or treatment applied. We developed a Spanish version of the BCI, and assessed its acceptability and metric properties. Methods: For the adaptation into Spanish we used the forward and back-translation method, expert panels, and cognitive debriefing patient interviews. For the assessment of metric properties we used data from 197 bladder cancer patients from a multi-center prospective study. The Spanish BCI and the SF-36 Health Survey were self-administered before and 12 months after treatment. Reliability was estimated by Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was assessed through the multi-trait multi-method matrix. The magnitude of change was quantified by effect sizes to assess responsiveness. Results: Reliability coefficients ranged 0.75-0.97. The validity analysis confirmed moderate associations between the BCI function and bother subscales for urinary (r = 0.61) and bowel (r = 0.53) domains; conceptual independence among all BCI domains (r ≤ 0.3); and low correlation coefficients with the SF-36 scores, ranging 0.14-0.48. Among patients reporting global improvement at follow-up, pre-post treatment changes were statistically significant for the urinary domain and urinary bother subscale, with effect sizes of 0.38 and 0.53. Conclusions: The Spanish BCI is well accepted, reliable, valid, responsive, and similar in performance compared to the original instrument. These findings support its use, both in Spanish and international studies, as a valuable and comprehensive tool for assessing quality of life across a wide range of bladder cancer patients.
