    Introduction: "In the second issue of “Medicine and Public Health” readers have the opportunity to enjoy eight interesting articles. It is important to notice that our journal is drawing the attention of international authors, and hopefully readers as well. This authors of this issue come from four different countries. The authors from Italy share with us an interesting and splendidly illustrated case of a rare internal hernia, the authors from India describe a rare form of liver tumour, while those from Slovakia describe the context of a preventive gynaecological examination. The Polish authors also share with us several interesting aspects of contemporary medicine. Wąsik et al. review the emerging role of ICG technique in surgery, and Szweda et al. deal with urethral profilometry. Interesting case reports by Kolendo (a rare complication of arthrosocopy) and Józefiak (a rare appendiceal tumour), as well as my own commentary on the current status of lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer, complete this issue. I very much hope readers will enjoy this issue and that they won’t be disappointed."(...)

    Urethral Profilometry – should it be discarded?
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2023) Szweda, Hanna; Szymanowski, Paweł
    Background: Urethral profilometry was developed as a scientific research method rather than for everyday clinical use. However, it was implemented as an integral part of urodynamic diagnostics for clinical use. Although it has been used for over 70 years, there are still no clear guidelines, either for the technique or for the indications and interpretation of the data obtained in this study. There are many inaccuracies and doubts about the method. Material and methods: The authors of this manuscript present a review of the options for urethral function diagnostics and the position of urethral profilometry among them. The literature and clinical aspects of their investigation are discussed in this article. The sources of the limitations of urethral profilometry and their importance in clinical practice and the interpretation of results are analyzed. Results: Urethral profilometry has many limitations. Their sources are urethral anatomy and structure, equipment, patient collaboration and the examination technique. The repeatability is debatable, but doubts surrounding it seem to be exaggerated. Despite all this many valuable data can be obtained by performing an examination. Conclusions: Despite the limitations, urethral profilometry is a useful clinical tool for functional diagnostics of the urethra. Developing precise guidelines regarding indications, technique and interpretation of the assessment would be essential in order to take advantage of this diagnostic method.
