The endeavours of medical charities in the UK to support research and provide information to patients and the general public sometimes go unnoticed by busy clinicians. As a consequence, in Trends we have... 2012-01-23T00:00:00Z http://www.trendsinurology.com/details/journalArticle/1451059/Setting_priorities_for_prostate_cancer_research.html Abstract The Prostate Cancer Priority Setting Partnership has itemised the top priorities for prostate cancer research, taking into account the views of both patients and clinicians.

John Reynard believes that a reduction in preventable medical errors can be achieved through improved communication and an understanding of the human factors involved in generating potential mistakes.

Risk assessment followed by appropriate mechanical or pharmacological prophylaxis will substantially reduce the considerable mortality and morbidity related to this condition. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons 2012-01-23T00:00:00Z http://www.trendsinurology.com/details/journalArticle/1451069/Current_issues_in_mens_health.html Abstract The early death of so many men in the UK – a quarter before the age of 65 years – is so commonplace that most of us treat it as normal. We behave as if men are somehow biologically programmed to die young and that there is little that can be done about it. But the huge variations in premature male mortality geographically and by social class make it clear beyond doubt that much of this is preventable.

It is therefore particularly important that men are aware of the risk factors outlined here.

The following statements are correct: treatment with desmopressin should be initiated at a dose of 50–100 micrograms orally, with a weekly dose escalation to a maximum of 400 micrograms; the intranasal formulation provides 10 micrograms/spray, and can be used up to a maximum dose of 40... 2011-12-12T00:00:00Z http://www.trendsinurology.com/details/journalArticle/1421991/The_need_for_mens_health_initiatives_connecting_the_dots.html Abstract A strategy to improve health outcomes for men is dependent on the ability to ‘connect the dots’, requiring increased partnership and synergy within and between research, practice and policy contexts.
