To examine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) subclinical RBD in Korean elderly population.
Purpose: A retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) is located between the aorta and vertebra drains into inferior vena cava.Urological symptoms can be caused by increased pressure in vein.To evaluate clinical importance of RLRV, we reviewed patients' medical records radiologic findings.Materials Methods: Nine patients who were studied with multidetector computed tomography at our institution from January 2003 to December 2009 had urologic RLRV.We retrospectively these analyzed their...
To determine the optimal timing for orchiopexy, we evaluated histological parameters of cryptorchid testis.We prospectively performed testicular biopsy in a total 65 consecutive children with palpable unilateral inguinal testes. For controls, used slides from 15 age-matched tumor. investigate fertility potential, analyzed including mean tubular diameter (MTD), index (MTFI), germ cell count/tubule (GCC), Sertoli (SCI) and interstitial fibrosis (IFI).The MTFI GCC < or =1 years age were...
Purpose: We investigated sex-hormone receptor expression as predicting factor of recurrence and progression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.Materials Methods: retrospectively evaluated tumor specimens from treated for transitional cell carcinoma the at our institution between January 2006 2011.Performing immunohistochemistry using a monoclonal androgen antibody estrogen receptor-beta on paraffin-embedded tissue sections, we assessed relationship results prognostic factors...

An obstructive megaureter identified in the neonatal period can be managed using a number of techniques, with primary goal being to minimize potential for further injury affected kidney. We describe our experience refluxing ureteral reimplantation as novel method temporizing megaureter.Three patients prenatally severe hydroureteronephrosis were confirmed following delivery have an ectopic ureter. Unilateral obstruction was 2 (1 female, 1 male). The third patient female bilateral single...

All participants completed version of consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer's disease neuropsychological battery (CERAD-KN) as an objective...
To our knowledge there is no multi-institutional report on prepubertal testicular tumors in Korea to date. We obtained demographic data for a better understanding of the biological behavior and optimal management these tumors.The tumor registry form was mailed all 87 hospitals registered Korean Urology Association. retrospectively reviewed recent 5-year medical records.A total 209 patients were enrolled this registry. The incidence 0.98/100,000 children. Age 1 142 months (median 18). Most...
