Liquid biopsy is gaining importance in the context of analysis of circulating subcellular components, such as exosomes and nucleic acids, and the investigation of biological fluids is increasing because they express features common to the tissue of origin. Particularly, urine has become one of the most attractive biofluids in clinical practice due to its easy collection approach, its availability of large quantities, and its noninvasiveness. Furthermore, a peculiarity is that, compared to serum or plasma, urine is characterized by a simpler composition that improves isolation and identification of biomarkers. Recent studies have been associated with the investigation of mRNAs and microRNAs as potential noninvasive cancer biomarkers in urine, and to date, several approaches for isolating and measuring urinary nucleic acids have been established, despite still developing. This chapter aims at giving some main published evidences on urinary microRNAs and mRNAs, with the intent to consider their potential translational use in clinical practice.Urine cell-free DNA has been shown as an informative noninvasive source of biomarkers for a number of diseases, especially for urological cancers. Starting from the hypothesis that the gain of c-Myc gene is a frequent aberration in several cancer types, including prostate cancer, we analyzed c-Myc copy number variation in urine, studying a little case series of prostate cancer patients, to test its feasibility. Here we report a general protocol that may be considered to analyze gene copy number variation in the urine cell-free fraction.Cystoscopy is considered the standard approach to the diagnostic workup of urinary symptoms. It has high sensitivity and specificity for papillary tumors of the bladder but low sensitivity and specificity for flat lesions. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/eliglustat.html It is also expensive and may cause discomfort and complications. Urine cytology, in contrast, has the advantage of being a noninvasive test with high specificity but suffers from low sensitivity in low-grade and early-stage tumors, possibly due to the low number of exfoliated cells in urine. Numerous new noninvasive tests have been proposed. Among these, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been studied for long time and in 2005 UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit (UroVysion Kit) (Abbott/Vysis) received FDA approval for initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in patients with hematuria and subsequent monitoring for tumor recurrence in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer. The UroVysion Kit is designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and loss of the 9p21 locus by FISH in urine specimens from symptomatic patients, those with hematuria suspected of having bladder cancer. Here, the approach for FISH assay by using UroVysion Bladder Cancer kit according to manufacturer's instructions is described.Urinary cell-free DNA offers an important noninvasive source of material for genomic testing also for nonurological tumors. Its clinical utility in monitoring tumor evolution and treatment failure is promising. Here we describe a method to detect cancer mutations into urine from patients affected by colorectal cancer.Urine cell-free DNA is an important source of diagnostic markers for different diseases, especially for cancer. It could be important to achieve the urine cell-free DNA integrity to establish its provenience from cancer cells or dead inflammatory cells for necrosis in urine or from normal cells with the purpose to use it as an early diagnostic tool for urological cancers or other diseases. Here we describe a simple, noninvasive approach from urine collection to DNA integrity analysis using real-time PCR.Recent reports suggest that urine is a useful noninvasive tool for the identification of urogenital tumors, including bladder, prostate, kidney, and other nonurological cancers. As a liquid biopsy, urine represents an important source for the improvement of new promising biomarkers, a suitable tool to identify indolent cancer and avoid overtreatment. Urine is enriched with DNAs, RNAs, proteins, circulating tumor cells, exosomes, and other small molecules which can be detected with several diagnostic methodologies.We provide an overview of the ongoing state of urinary biomarkers underlying both their potential utilities to improve cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and therapeutic strategy and their limitations. All UK medical schools are required to include frailty in their curriculum. The term is open to interpretation and associated with negative perceptions. Understanding and recognising frailty is a prerequisite for consideration of frailty in the treatment decision-making process across clinical specialities. The aim of this survey was to describe how frailty has been interpreted and approached in UK undergraduate medical education and provide examples of educational strategies employed. All UK medical schools were invited to complete an electronic survey. Schools described educational strategies used to teach and assess frailty and provided frailty-related learning outcomes. Learning Outcomes were grouped into categories and mapped to the domains of Outcomes for Graduates (knowledge, skills and values). 25/34 Medical schools (74%) participated. The interpretation of what frailty is vary widely and the diversity of teaching strategies reflect this. The most common Learning outcomes included as "Frailty" aical education. Further research is required to explore which frailty-specific educational strategies in undergraduate medical education enhance learning. Post-operative hypoparathyroidism is the most encountered complication of thyroid surgery and is classified as temporary or permanent. However, its incidence varies greatly in the literature ranging from 0.5% to 65%. This can be mainly attributed to the different definition of hypoparathyroidism used in each study and especially to the different time cutoff applied to distinguish temporary from permanent hypoparathyroidism. We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and GoogleScholar databases, as well as grey literature. Ultimately, 45 articles with 23,164 patients in total were included in this review. These articles used either the cutoff of six or twelve post-operative months to distinguish temporary from permanent hypoparathyroidism. The overall incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism diagnosed at 6 months post-operatively was 4.11% and 4.08% at 12 months post-operatively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.92). We suggest that adhering to the current guidelines that recommend diagnosing temporary hypoparathyroidism when recovery is made within 6 months after surgery is important when conducting future research in order to narrow the gap that exists currently in the literature, as well as when deciding to put patients on long-term calcium supplements.
