ABSTRACT
El conocimiento de los condicionantes personales, intereses y perspectivas de los estudiantes de Medicina debiera considerarse importante para aproximarse a la realidad docente de nuestra profesión. Sin embargo, existen escasos estudios que consideren y analicen la percepción de los mismos respecto a sus motivaciones, valoraciones del medio académico y sus expectativas laborales. Igualmente, no se dispone de datos sobre sus hábitos de vida y su modo de aprovechar el tiempo libre. Todos estos factores podrían informar y orientar la toma de algunas decisiones en cuanto al modo de plantear la enseñanza, favorecer la relación de los mismos con el sistema universitario y sus profesores y, en definitiva, conseguir una óptima preparación como profesionales médicos. Desde ese planteamiento hemos realizado un estudio observacional mediante encuesta anónima a los estudiantes de nuestra Facultad que considera y analiza el perfil de estas variables en el alumnado, lo que completa y mejora el nivel de información sobre nuestro ámbito docente y la inmediata realidad profesional
The knowledge of the personal conditions, interests and perspectives of medical students should be considered important to approach the teaching reality of our profession. Nevertheless, there are few studies that consider and analyze the perception of the same regarding their motivations, assessments of the academic environment and their work expectations, as well as their opinion about the new study plan. Likewise there is no data about their lifestyle and how they spend their free time. All these factors could inform and guide the decision-making regarding teaching, improving the relationship between the students and the university system and professors and, overall, to achieve optimal preparation as medical professionals. From this approach we have carried out an observational study by means of an anonymous survey to the students of our faculty that considers and analyzes the profile of these variables in the students of our faculty, which complements and improves the level of information about our teaching environment and the immediate professional reality

Combined urodynamic investigation, including uroflowmetry, cystomanometry and intraurethral pressure profile (IPP) assessment, was carried out in 25 patients with prostatic adenomas and carcinomas, selected to undergo transurethral electroresection (TUR). The same combined investigation was repeated 2 months after TUR in 14 of 25 patients. The study of lower urinary urodynamics made use of Diza-2100 (Denmark) measuring system, recording maximum and mean volumetric urinary flow rate, volume and duration of micturition. The quantity of residual urine was also determined; the bladder was filled with CO2 at the rate of 50 ml/min for retrograde cystomanometry. In IPP assessment, the rate of catheter removal from the bladder was 1 mm/sec, and the rate of gas perfusion was 10 ml/min. Post-TUR follow-up revealed an increase of volumetric micturition rate to normal values, a drop in maximum intravesical pressure, and a reduction of functional length of the urethra and its prostatic segment, demonstrating that TUR is a very effective method of treatment for prostatic adenomas and carcinomas, involving little injury, and that the examined parameters of lower urinary urodynamics are objective indicators of treatment efficiency.
