When provided individually, both the serotonin (5-HT(1A))-receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and environmental enrichment (EE) enhance behavioral outcome reduce histopathology after experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of this study was to determine whether combining these therapies would yield greater benefit than either used alone. Anesthetized adult male rats received a cortical impact or sham then were randomly assigned enriched standard...
Objective or purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of dietary omega-3 fatty acids (O3FAs) in rosacea patients having dry eye symptoms.Methods: A prospective, interventional, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multi-centric study was done. Symptomatic with were recruited based on their response to (Dry Eye Scoring System, DESS©); a score 0–3 assigned eye-related symptoms like ocular fatigue, blurring vision, itching burning, sandy gritty sensation, and redness, respectively (DESS©)....
In <i>α</i>-chloralose–anesthetized cats, we examined the role of GABA<sub>A</sub>, glycine, and opioid receptors in sacral neuromodulation-induced inhibition bladder overactivity elicited by intravesical infusion 0.5% acetic acid (AA). AA irritation significantly (<i>P</i> < 0.01) reduced capacity to 59.5 ± 4.8% saline control. S1 or S2 dorsal root stimulation at threshold intensity for inducing reflex twitching anal sphincter toe increased 105.3 9.0% 134.8 8.9% control, respectively....
Aims To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation sacral dorsal/ventral roots on irritation‐induced bladder overactivity, reveal possible different mechanisms under nociceptive conditions, and establish a large animal model neuromodulation. Methods Intravesical infusion 0.5% acetic acid (AA) was used to irritate induce overactivity in cats α ‐chloralose anesthesia. Electrical (5, 15, or 30 Hz) applied individual S1–S3 dorsal ventral at below motor threshold intensity. Repeated...
To assess the optimal length of follow-up for patients undergoing both open and minimally invasive pyeloplasties to ensure prompt detection a recurrent obstruction. There are no standard guidelines on ideal imaging post-pediatric pyeloplasty currently.A retrospective chart review identified 264 (<18 years old) who underwent ureteropelvic junction obstruction between April 2002 December 2014. Ultrasound was obtained every 3-4 months first year following thereafter at discretion treating...
This study investigated the role of γ-aminobutyric acid subtype B (GABAB) receptors in tibial and pudendal neuromodulation bladder overactivity induced by intravesical administration dilute (0.5%) acetic (AA) α-chloralose-anesthetized cats. To inhibit overactivity, or nerve stimulation (TNS PNS) was applied at 5 Hz two four times threshold (T) intensity for inducing toe anal sphincter twitch. TNS 2T 4T significantly (P < 0.05) increased capacity to 173.8 ± 16.2 198.5 24.1%, respectively,...
To determine the spinal segmental afferent contributions to tibial and pudendal inhibition of bladder overactivity.Intravesical infusion 0.5% acetic acid was used irritate induce overactivity in anesthetized cats. Tibial or nerve stimulation suppress increase capacity during cystometry. L5-S3 dorsal roots ipsilateral were exposed by a laminectomy transected sequentially experiments role individual neuromodulation.Transection L5 root had no effect. Transection L6 four cats produced an average...
The clinical grading system for varicoceles is subjective and dependent on clinician experience. Color Doppler ultrasound (US) has not been standardized in the diagnosis of varicoceles. We aimed to determine if US measurement varicocele could be predictive World Health Organization (WHO) grade.Men who presented either scrotal pain or infertility a tertiary men's health clinic underwent physical examination, were graded following WHO criteria (0=subclinical, 1, 2, 3). was used measure largest...

Background Distinguishing between organ-confined disease and extraprostatic extension (EPE) is crucial for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. EPE associated an increased risk biochemical recurrence, positive surgical margins, metastatic disease. An MRI-based scoring system was developed by Mehralivand et al in 2019; however, it has not been adopted Urology community. The purpose this study to evaluate association pathologic after radical prostatectomy. Methods We conducted a...
