Study Type – Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What’s known on the subject? and What does study add? The Homeobox genes, Hox a d , control urinogenital system differentiation digit development. patterns formation may be related to gonad function reflected in 2nd 4th ratio (digit ratio). Digit is negatively correlated with prenatal testosterone levels androgen receptor activity which increased prostate cancer risk. Patients lower have higher risk biopsy due high PSA level,...
The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) has been proposed as a putative biomarker for prenatal testosterone and covaries with the sensitivity of androgen receptor (AR). Both AR play central role in penile growth. In this study, we investigated relationship between length. Korean men who were hospitalized urological surgery at single tertiary academic centre examined 144 aged 20 years or older gave informed consent prospectively enrolled. Right-hand second- fourth-digit lengths measured by...
Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a very rare disease characterized by local allergic symptoms and transient flu-like that nearly always occur after masturbation, coitus, or spontaneous ejaculation last for 2 to 7 days. In previous case report, patients with POIS received hyposensitization therapy composed of multiple subcutaneous injections autologous semen resulted in gradual decrease symptoms. However, this procedure requires endure pain discomfort during frequent preceding...
To investigate the relationships between 2nd to 4th digit ratio (digit ratio) and prostate cancer detection rate biopsy findings, including Gleason score.In 770 consecutive men aged 40 years or older that presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), right hand lengths were measured prior PSA determinations, DRE transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Among these, 166 a specific antigen (PSA) level ≥ 3 ng/mL abnormal rectal examination (DRE) prospectively underwent biopsies. The...
Purpose: To date, the parameters for evaluating enucleation efficiency have only considered time, although operators simultaneously consume both time and energy during holmium laser of prostate.This study was undertaken to find a better way assessing skills, considering consumed energy.Materials Methods: One hundred (n=100) consecutive patients who underwent prostate from April 2012 2014 by single surgeon were enrolled.Ten groups 10 cases used analyze efficiency. Results:The mean energy,...
Objective In mammals, high parental testosterone levels present around the time of conception are thought to skew offspring sex ratio toward sons. The second fourth digit (digit ratio) is now widely accepted as a negative correlate prenatal testosterone. Thus, we investigated association between and ratio. Methods A total 508 Korean patients (257 males 251 females) less than 60 years old who had one or more were prospectively enrolled. lengths 2nd 4th digits right hand measured by single...
Introduction: Recently, few studies were reported about the treatment of large, solitary, renal calculi between shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). We assess feasibility SWL for managing lower calyceal stones over 1 cm by comparing results pole patients that underwent or PNL.Methods: retrospectively reviewed clinical data who had undergone PNL due to cm. Group consisted treat from 2010 2011. 2 included manage 2008 2009. compared patient age, gender, stone...
Purpose: There has been a scarcity of integrated, long-term (＞4 week) studies on structural and functional alterations in the penis according to period following cavernous nerve (CN) injury. The aim this study was investigate time-dependent changes corpus cavernosum CN injury rat model. Materials Methods: Ninety male Sprague-Dawley rats (10 weeks old) were divided into 4 groups: normal control (C), sham (S), bilateral resection (R), crush (I) groups. At 1, 4, 12 after procedure, erectile...
To identify incidence and risk factors of recurrence after discontinuation successful antimuscarinic therapy in patients with overactive bladder (OAB).This was a prospective, multicenter trial. Patients who had agents for more than 12 weeks showed response were enrolled. Successful defined as answering 'benefit' patient perception treatment benefit answer lesser 3 points patient's condition (PPBC). The enrolled discontinued the antimuscarinics, we evaluated their PPBC OAB symptom score...
Study Type – Prognosis (cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the subject? and What does study add? The second to fourth digit ratio (hereafter ratio) right hand is related activity androgen receptor. Five α‐reductase inhibitor (5ARI) reduces prostate volume patients with BPH. In terms reduction, large‐scale placebo‐controlled studies show that BPH do not always respond well 5ARI treatment. Patients a higher dutasteride treatment compared those lower ratio. These results suggest might...
To determine the efficacy of early extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (e-ESWL) in colic patients with ureteral stones and patient criteria for most effective e-ESWL.335 who received ESWL due to stone, were divide two groups: e-ESWL d-ESWL by critical cut-off point. we performed sensitivity specificity analyses identified cut off assess difference factors affecting success, univariate multivariate logistic implemented using variables: success; age; gender; BMI; comor-bidity; serum...
Tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) remains a challenging technique for the surgical treatment of staghorn renal calculi. Our study was designed to compare outcomes between conventional and tubeless PNL. We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients who underwent or PNL under general anesthesia performed by single surgeon (H.J.) calculi 2003 2012. All were divided into two groups: group 1 included 2 managed Preoperative postoperative parameters analyzed groups, including age,...

The improvement of testicular volume, testosterone levels and sperm concentration was suggested to be significantly associated with the number internal spermatic veins (ISVs) ligated during varicocelectomy. Herein, we investigated preoperative color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) findings as potential predictors ISVs requiring ligation microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy.In a prospective evaluation 40 patients, maximal vein size reflux velocity were measured, while total cross-sectional...
Abstract Objective. To compare the diagnostic values of 12- and 18-core biopsies with respect to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate volumes (PV) density (PSAD). Material methods. Transrectal ultrasound-guided were performed on 233 patients at a single tertiary academic center. Patients prospectively randomized two protocols (12 or 18 core). The cancer detection rates achieved using these methods analyzed different PSA PVs PSADs. Results. Considering level PV simultaneously,...
Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) is usually increased after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). However, improvements vary between patients and results regarding potential predictors Qmax HoLEP are inconsistent. Thus, we investigated pre-operative variables including second to fourth digit ratio (digit ratio) pulmonary function test (PFT) findings as HoLEP.One hundred ninety-five consecutive with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who underwent were enrolled. Before HoLEP,...
