Abstract
BACKGROUND Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) after pelvic fracture (PFx) has garnered little attention in the urology literature. AIM To review and summarize the current evidence regarding female PFx-related sexual function. METHODS We performed a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, including PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. We included only English-language manuscripts and abstracts with sufficient data for inclusion. We used the search terms "female sexual dysfunction AND pelvic fracture," "sexual dysfunction AND pelvic fracture," and "female pelvic fracture AND sexual dysfunction." A total of 177 articles were identified; 41 abstracts were reviewed; of which, 19 manuscripts were reviewed. Fifteen met inclusion criteria for analysis. OUTCOMES The main outcome measures of this study are rates and types of female sexual dysfunction after pelvic fracture. RESULTS FSD is prevalent after PFx, with reported rates between 25% and 62%. Three studies used the validated Female Sexual Function Index. The other 12 used non-validated questionnaires or adapted quality-of-life questionnaires with specific questions regarding FSD. The most common complaints include difficulty with intercourse, dyspareunia, orgasmic dysfunction, genitourinary pain, decreased interest in intercourse, decreased satisfaction with intercourse, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Only 1 study addressed resolution of dysfunction (30 of 98 patients [30.4%]). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS FSD is prevalent and an under-recognized sequela of pelvic fracture. This requires future prospective study to better characterize sexual dysfunction and identify effective treatments in trauma survivors. STRENGTH AND LIMITATIONS To Increase awareness of FSD after pelvic trauma and the impact on the quality of life in trauma survivors. The current literature is limited by a lack of standardized assessment of FSD, limited follow-up, and minimal discussion of treatment options, in addition to the inherent bias of retrospective studies. CONCLUSIONS FSD after traumatic PFx is not uncommon, occurs mostly in young women, and can be morbid. FSD after PFx is underreported in the urology literature. Thus, all female PFx patients should be screened for FSD by validated questionnaires. The published literature offers little knowledge as to the epidemiology, evaluation, definition, and potential treatments of FSD after PFx. Prospective studies are needed to better understand female sexual function in trauma survivors and the potential methods for prevention and rehabilitation, all within the context of a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
A 29-year-old African American male presented to our emergency department with a 5-day history of perineal pain and tender swelling of the left perineal body with no evidence of trauma. Physical examination revealed a firm left proximal corpus cavernosum body. Laboratory tests were within normal limits. Pelvic MRI confirmed the presence of a large left-sided unilateral corporal cavernosum partial thrombosis filling the proximal third of the left corpus cavernosum. The patient was managed conservatively with anticoagulation, pain control, and pelvic rest. At 3-month follow-up, perineal imaging showed reduction of thrombus size and resolution of pain and swelling. At 6-month follow-up, a penile ultrasound demonstrated almost complete resolution of the thrombus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a glycated form of hemoglobin, develops when glucose is elevated in the blood. It is used as a marker of how well a diabetic patient has been controlling their blood sugar over the previous 3-4 months. Some use HbA1c as a predictor of infection risk during prosthetic surgery, and many surgeons require patients to lower it preoperatively. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to comprehensively review the literature relating HbA1c and penile prosthesis (PP). METHODS A PubMed search of English-language articles identified studies that investigate the relationship between HbA1c levels and PP infection. Studies were only included if they reported the mean HbA1c of all PP patients and compared patients who did/did not develop a prosthetic infection. References from relevant articles are included. RESULTS A total of 6 studies, 1992-2020, were identified. 2 studies occurred before the advent of antibiotic-enhanced devices in the early 2000s and have limited applicability to the modern era. Of the 4 studies published after, 2 reported a significant difference in mean HbA1c when comparing patients who developed a prosthetic infection and those who did not (9.1% vs 7.5%, P = .000 and 9.5% vs 7.8%, P < .001). The other 2 studies reported no significant difference in mean HbA1c when comparing patients who developed a prosthetic infection and those who did not (7.0% vs 7.6%, P > .05; and 7.6% vs 7.5%, P = .598). CONCLUSION Current data regarding HbA1c as a predictor of PP infection are inconclusive, with no consensus. HbA1c is increasingly used as a predictor of postsurgical prosthetic infection, with some urologists requiring patients with elevated HbA1c to acutely lower it before elective surgery. While there are a number of established health benefits of controlling elevated blood sugar, larger randomized controlled trials need to validate whether acutely lowering perioperative HbA1c decreases risk of prosthetic infection.

Abstract
608 Background: To investigate the association of serum uric acid (SUA) levels along with statin use in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), as statins may be associated with improved outcomes in RCC and SUA elevation is associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Retrospective study of patients undergoing surgery for RCC with preoperative and postoperative SUA levels between 8/2005-8/2014. Increased SUA was defined as > 7mg/dL for males and > 5.7 mg/dL for females. Analysis was carried out between patients with increased postoperative SUA vs. patients with decreased/stable postoperative SUA. Kaplan-Meier analysis (KMA) calculated overall survival (OS). Multivariable analysis (MVA) was performed to identify factors associated with increased SUA levels and all-cause mortality. Results: 905 patients were analyzed. Decreased/stable SUA levels were noted in 675(74.6%) and increased SUA levels were noted in 230(25.4%). A higher proportion of patients with decreased/stable SUA levels took statins (27.9% vs 18.3%, p = 0.004). Increased SUA had significantly greater de novo CKD (38.7% vs. 18.4%, p < 0.001) and proteinuria (30.9% vs. 20.7%, p = 0.002). KMA demonstrated improved 5-year OS for patients with decreased/stable SUA compared to increased SUA for stage I, (93% vs. 60%), stage II (87% vs. 50%), and stage III (88% vs. 62%) RCC (all p < 0.001). MVA revealed that increasing BMI (OR 1.05, p = 0.009), statin use (OR 0.11, p < 0.001), dyslipidemia (OR 2.66, p = 0.004), stage III/IV cancer (OR 1.89, p = 0.015 and OR = 10.78, p < 0.001), and postoperative de novo CKD stage 3 (OR 5.95, p < 0.001) were predictors for increased postoperative SUA levels. MVA revealed increasing BMI (OR 1.09, p = 0.002), increasing SUA (OR = 4.70, p < 0.001), stage IV RCC (OR = 7.7, p < 0.001, and de novo CKD stage 3 (OR 7.07, p < 0.001) to be independent risk factors for worsened all-cause mortality. Conclusions: Increasing SUA post operatively was associated with worsened outcomes in RCC patients. Decreased SUA levels were associated with statin intake and lower stage disease as well as lack of progression to CKD and anemia. Further investigation is requisite.

Abstract
Objective Bone metastasis occurs in up to 90% of men with advanced prostate cancer and leads to fractures, severe pain and therapy-resistance. Bone metastases induce a spectrum of types of bone lesions which can respond differently to therapy even within individual prostate cancer patients. Thus, the special environment of the bone makes the disease more complicated and incurable. A model in which bone lesions are reproducibly induced that mirrors the complexity seen in patients would be invaluable for pre-clinical testing of novel treatments. The microstructural changes in the femurs of mice implanted with PCSD1, a new patient-derived xenograft from a surgical prostate cancer bone metastasis specimen, were determined. Methods Quantitative micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of direct injection of PCSD1 cells or media alone (Control) into the right femurs of Rag2−/−γc−/− male mice. Results Bone lesions formed only in femurs of mice injected with PCSD1 cells. Bone volume (BV) was significantly decreased at the proximal and distal ends of the femurs (p < 0.01) whereas BV (p < 0.05) and bone shaft diameter (p < 0.01) were significantly increased along the femur shaft. Conclusion PCSD1 cells reproducibly induced bone loss leading to osteolytic lesions at the ends of the femur, and, in contrast, induced aberrant bone formation leading to osteoblastic lesions along the femur shaft. Therefore, the interaction of PCSD1 cells with different bone region-specific microenvironments specified the type of bone lesion. Our approach can be used to determine if different bone regions support more therapy resistant tumor growth, thus, requiring novel treatments.

Abstract
Background: Renal cancer may invade the inferior vena cava (IVC) creating more complex surgical intervention. We investigate radiologic findings that may predict vascular reconstruction prior to surgery and future renal cancer-specific mortality. Materials and Methods: Radiologic findings included Mayo Clinic risk factors for vascular reconstruction: Right-sided tumor, anteroposterior diameter of the IVC at the ostium of the renal vein ≥24.0 mm, and radiologic identification of complete occlusion of the IVC. Additional factors included thrombus in the lumen of the hepatic veins and metastasis. Along with other demographic factors, analysis included Chi-squared analysis for vascular reconstruction and logistic regression for mortality. A Kaplan–Meier curve was created for the most significant radiologic factor. Results: Thirty-seven patients underwent IVC tumor thrombectomy at two institutions from April 2007 to February 2015. We found that Mayo risk factors of 0, 1, 2, and 3 and the proportions of vascular reconstruction of 0%, 0%, 12.5%, and 13.6%, respectively (P = 0.788). Hepatic vein involvement was the most significant determinate of renal cell carcinoma-specific mortality in multivariable analysis, controlling for the size of IVC at the hepatic veins, pulmonary metastasis, and Fuhrman grade (P = 0.02, Log-rank P = 0.002). Conclusion: Mayo risk factors did not predict vascular reconstruction in our small cohort of Level II–Level IV IVC thrombus undergoing IVC thrombectomy. Tumor thrombus traveling into the lumen of the hepatic veins was a significant risk factor for accelerated mortality.
