To determine the impact of noise on heart rate variability (HRV) in men, with a focus type rather than intensity.Forty college-going male volunteers were enrolled this study and randomly divided into four groups according to they exposed to: background, traffic, speech, or mixed (traffic speech) noise. All except background group (35 dB) 45 dB sound pressure levels. We collected data age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, disease status from responses self-reported questionnaires medical...
This study aimed to assess the exact location, size, and clinical significance of prostatic calcification using computed tomography (CT). We retrospectively analyzed data from 5,492 patients who underwent CT at Department Urology in our hospital between January 2010 December 2020. After applying exclusion criteria (prostate cancer, post-prostatectomy, indwelling urethral catheter, severe artifacts, software errors), 4,805 were included final analysis. Patient age, medical history, laboratory...
To evaluate the impact of temporary internal ureteral stents on surgical outcomes dismembered pyeloplasty in children.The medical records 70 children (76 renal units) who underwent for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction at Asan Medical Center between January 2005 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. We classified units into stented group (22 nonstented (54 units). Fifty-four patients male their mean age was 2.2±3.8 years old. The follow-up period 29.6±16.8 months.Sixty-four...
To identify potential predictive factors of incidental prostate cancer (IPca) in patients considering tissue-ablation treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).From the 11 centers, 1,613 men who underwent transurethral resection (TURP) or open prostatectomy were included. Before surgery, biopsy was performed all with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥4.0 ng/ml abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) findings. The preoperatively PSA >20 excluded. As IPca, age, body mass index, PSA,...
Anogential distance (AGD) and the 2:4 digit length ratio appear to provide a reliable guide fetal androgen exposure. We intended investigate current status of penile size relationship between AGD or according birth weight in Korean newborn infants. Between May 2013 February 2014, among total 78 male infants, 55 infants were prospectively included this study. Newborn with gestational age 38 42 weeks weight>2.5 kg assigned NW group (n=24) those age<38 weight<2.5 LW (n=31). Penile other...
Purpose: Studies of penile length in children have been rarely conducted.In Korea, great improvements height and weight observed because economic development over the past 25 years.We investigated current status Korean compared results with those a previous study conducted 1987. Materials Methods:The subjects this were 233 boys aged 1 to 158 months, each whom had brought outpatient clinics between April October 2011.Penile was measured according stretched (SPL) technique; testicular size (in...
We evaluated the treatment outcomes of ureteral stones according to energy intensity generated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).We retrospectively analyzed 150 patients who underwent ESWL for between September 2018 and February 2020. All were confirmed a computed tomography examination, size, location, skin-to-stone distance, Hounsfield units (HU) assessed. In addition, patient characteristics including body mass index estimated glomerular filtration rate, which can affect...
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising cancer therapeutic agent because of its tumor selectivity and ability to induce apoptosis in cells while sparing most normal cells. We evaluated whether docetaxel enhances TRAIL-mediated prostate (PCa) mechanism.LNCap-LN3, PC3, DU 145 PCa cell lines were used investigate the effects TRAIL with treatment (dosages, 1, 3, 5, 10 nmol). To evaluate mechanism, death receptor 4 (DR4), DR5, enhancer zeste homolog 2 (EZH2)...
The regions where patients diagnosed with prostate cancer by biopsy receive prostatectomy are divided into national hub and regional hubs, to confirm the change in role of hubs compared hub.
With the introduction of da Vinci single-port (SP) robot platform, surgery in a narrow space has become easier, and using this, extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy been frequently performed recently. However, studies comparing it with existing methods are still lacking. Therefore, this study, we compared initial robot-assisted (spRARP) intraperitoneal multiport (mpRARP) tried to investigate feasibility spRARP.
The authors performed this study to investigate the risk factors for predicting stent failure and evaluate its impact on prognosis.Between January 2002 March 2017, we retrospectively reviewed 117 consecutive patients who underwent retrograde ureteral stenting exchanging at least once every 3 months malignant obstruction. were classified according their pre-stenting chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage. affecting analyzed using a logistic regression model. Overall survival (OS) was estimated,...
To compare the efficacy and tolerability of mirabegron solifenacin in pediatric patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) to identify factors affecting OAB symptom improvement after treatment.We retrospectively reviewed 103 (5-15 years old) who visited our hospital symptoms between July 2017 March 2019. All participants had received or mirabegron. Those secondary did not complete frequency-volume chart either before treatment were excluded. The age-adjusted capacity ratio was used...
Purpose:We aimed to verify the current status of transurethral resection prostate (TURP) in Korea. Materials and Methods:The medical records 1,341 men who underwent TURP 9 Korean centers between 2004 2008 were reviewed.The patients divided into two groups according time periods: 2004-2005 (group 1) 2006-2008 2).To differences patient groups, age, volume, indications for TURP, preoperative International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), resected tissue weight evaluated.Results: The mean age was...
Purpose:The goal of this study was to investigate the association between hypercholesterolemia and time required for progression castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients who have undergone androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Materials Methods:Data from 154 with 2005 2012 were reviewed retrospectively.ADT employed as a treatment modality these either due multiple bone metastases at diagnosis or old age combination other morbidities.Serum cholesterol levels statin use...
The inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder is rare, especially in children. It a benign proliferative lesion submucosal stroma easily mistaken for sarcoma clinically, so it should be differentiated from malignant neoplasm. We report case 7-year-old girl.
To investigate the relationship between prostate volume and increased risk for being diagnosed with cancer (PCa) in men slowly increasing specific antigen (PSA). A cohort of 1035 who visited our hospital's health promotion center were checked serum PSA levels more than two times January 2001 November 2011 included. Among them, 116 patients had a change from less 4 ng/mL to underwent transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy. Median age was 55.9 years 26 (22.4%) PCa. We compared initial level,...
