<p> </p
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Priapism<span style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal;"> a rare condition that causes a persistent, and often painful, penile erection.</span></span></strong></p
<p> </p
<p>Priapism is drug induced, injury related, or caused by disease, not sexual desire. As in a normal erection, the penis fills with blood and becomes erect. However, unlike a normal erection that dissipates after sexual activity ends, the persistent erection caused by priapism is maintained because the blood in the penile shaft does not drain. The shaft remains hard, while the tip of the penis is soft. If it is not relieved promptly, priapism can lead to permanent scarring of the penis and inability to have a normal erection.</p

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Coude Catheter</strong></span></p
<p>a semi-rigid catheter that has a curve or bend at the tip. The curved tip allows it to navigate over the curvature of the prostate or any other urethral obstruction it may encounter. A Coude catheter is specifically designed for this purpose. Coude catheters are available in size 8 French to size 26 French.</p

<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Interstitial cystitis</span></strong></p
<p>also called painful bladder syndrome — is a chronic condition characterized by a combination of uncomfortable bladder pressure, bladder pain and sometimes pain in your pelvis, which can range from mild burning or discomfort to severe pain.</p
<p> </p
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Cystoscopy</span></strong></p
<p>the use of a scope (cystoscope) to examine the bladder. This is done either to look at the bladder for abnormalities or to help with surgery being performed on the inside of the urinary tract (transurethral surgery).</p
<p> </p
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">CT Urogram</span></strong></p
<p>A urogram is a radiograph, or X-ray image, of the urinary tract. </p

<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">TURP</span></strong></p
<p>transurethral resection of the prostate</p
<p> </p
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Foley catheter</span></strong></p
<p>a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter. It is held in place with a balloon at the end, which is filled with sterile water to hold it in place. The urine drains into a bag and can then be taken from an outlet device to be drained</p

An unusual finding on a pelvic radiograph
A 74 year old man presented to the ear, nose, and throat department with breathlessness on exertion, intermittent voice hoarseness, and a sensation of catarrh in his throat. After a laryngoscopy with biopsy was performed, he was diagnosed as having a low grade chondrosarcoma of the larynx. Before surgical debulking of the lesion was carried out he underwent computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. This confirmed the presence of a subglottic mass in the larynx but also showed a mixed lytic and sclerotic expansile lesion (5.8 cm (longitudinal)×1.6 cm (axial)×4.5 cm) in the left iliac blade of the pelvis. The pelvic lesion was well corticated, with internal ossified septae and calcification. Expansion of the left iliac wing was noted, with no breach in the cortex.
