This article provides evidence-based recommendations and expert opinions to aid urologists in making optimal decisions regarding managing urolithiasis various clinical scenarios. The most frequently asked questions by their practice have been collected answered the form of FAQs; based on latest evidence opinions. natural history is divided into active treatment silent phases, with stage typical special situations peri-treatment management. authors address 28 key questions, offering practical...
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) play a pivotal role in blood cell production, maintaining the health homeostasis of individuals. Dysregulation HSPC function can lead to blood-related diseases, including cancer. Despite its importance, our understanding genes pathways underlying development associated pathological mechanisms remains limited. To elucidate these unknown mechanisms, we analyzed databases patients with disorders performed functional gene studies using zebrafish....
Guarea genus comprises tropical and subtropical terrestrial herbs inhabiting Central South America. These plants, including guidonia (L.) Sleumer, have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antiviral, immune-enhancing properties.
Abstract Inflammation is implicated as a cause in many diseases. Most of the anti-inflammatory agents use are synthetic and there an unmet need for natural substance-derived with minimal side effects. Aiouea padiformis belongs to Lauraceae family primarily found tropical regions. While some members genus known possess properties, properties extract (AP) have not been investigated. In this study, we aimed examine function AP through NOD-, LRR- pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3)...
A pterygium is a common conjunctival degeneration and inflammatory condition. It grows onto the corneal surface or limbus, causing blurred vision cosmetic issues. Ultraviolet well-known risk factor for development of pterygium, although its pathogenesis remains unclear, with only limited understanding hereditary basis. In this study, we collected RNA-seq from both pterygial tissues (as controls) six patients (a total twelve biological samples) retrieved publicly available data, including...
Ureteroscopic stone removal is frequently used to remove ureteral stones. Mucosal edema and bleeding are the two most important obstacles a successful operation. This study analyzed relationships between unenhanced computed tomography (UECT) findings ureteroscopic determine whether results could be predicted preoperatively by using UECT imaging. From January 2009 July 2011, 675 patients were diagnosed with stones through UECT. Among them, we retrospectively reviewed 92 cases of who underwent...
Purpose:The aim of our study was to evaluate the association several factors with spontaneous stone expulsion, including ureteral characteristics (size, location, hydronephrosis, perinephric stranding), types medications prescribed (α-blocker, lowdose steroid), and other possible demographic health-history (gender, age, serum creatinine, underlying diabetes mellitus [DM], hypertension).Materials Methods: A total 366 patients stones were enrolled.All underwent watchful waiting without any...
Complicated acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate intervention. This study examined the characteristics of APN occurring as complication ureteral stone.We retrospectively reviewed 85 patients diagnosed with complicated by stone between December 2006 and July 2017 at our institution. Patients concomitant renal stone, multiple stones, strictures, cancer, urogenital anomalies, including vesicoureteral reflux were excluded. Clinical age, sex,...
The objectives of this study were to investigate patients treated for scrotal trauma at our institute the last three decades describe experience with an emphasis on etiologies and ultrasonographic findings in these patients.We reviewed medical records who underwent ultrasonography evaluation testicular institutes from 1986 2015.Trends regarding etiology evaluated during each decade.The echo pattern contour definition parenchyma hematoma development recorded evaluate radiographic injury.The...
Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC that was recently included in the 2016 World Health Organization classification tumors kidney. Most these exhibit indolent behavior with low metastatic potential. However, here we report case recurrent tubulocystic aggressive features retroperitoneum and contralateral kidney treated targeted agents radiofrequency ablation.
Purpose: To investigate programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status and the clinical pathological factors related to its in urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients. Materials Methods: Data from 761 UC patients who underwent testing for PD-L1 using VENTANA (SP-142 immunohistochemistry assay) measuring according manufacturer's protocol between February 2016 July 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients categorized into three groups based on percentage of tumor area covered by...
Background and objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the role diabetes mellitus (DM) as a significant factor affecting spontaneous stone expulsion, suggested by previous research. Materials methods: We investigated influence DM on ureter using murine model. mouse-model arm this used 20 15 -week-old mice, including 10 normal (control) mice mice. measured proximal, middle distal ureteral smooth muscle thickness in each mouse differences among sections were analyzed. Mouse specimens...
Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare benign tumor of the prostate gland that presents as large retroperitoneal pelvic mass. The mass usually located between urinary bladder and rectum, results in obstructive voiding symptoms change bowel habits. Complete surgical excision treatment choice. We present case rapid recurrent giant after laparoscopic for primary case. A previously healthy 54-year-old man presented with acute retention. Prostate MRI showed cystic approximately 13 cm...
Purpose: To evaluate risk factors for sepsis after retrograde intrarenal surgery treatment of renal stones.Materials and Methods: We analyzed the clinical data 243 patients with kidney stones who visited our institution between April 2017 2023.Age, sex, body mass index, underlying disease, location size stones, previous history urinary tract infections, duration surgery, preoperative drainage, application ureteral balloon dilation, laboratory test results were included in analysis.Results:...
This review covers the recent findings on extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) pathogens, focusing epidemiology of infection due to this pathogen. Use ESBL is growing rapidly and widely. CTX-M-15 producing Escherichia coli most commonly encountered in clinical practice. In general, infections are represented by urinary tract infections, but they can also cause fatal involving vascular system central nervous system. Because E. a common colonizer normal intestine, increasing prevalence...
Background and Objectives: Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a very rare case of which commonly occurs in the other part body. However, it difficult to distinguish from tumors before pathological examination because they do not show specific characteristics on imaging study such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance image (MRI). Case summary: A 60-year-old male showed retroperitoneal cystic tumor found incidentally during evaluation coexisted bladder tumor. Neurogenic was...
Urothelial tumors are typically a disease affecting elderly individuals and rare in young patients. Moreover, upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is extremely the age group. In this study, we present case of cell renal pelvis ureter man without risk factors carcinoma, which was misdiagnosed as ureteropelvic junction obstruction treated with laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
Massive retroperitoneal hematoma as an acute complication of retrograde intrarenal surgery: A case report
Rheumatoid nodules are a common manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), occurring in 30–40% patients and persisting for lifetime1,2. However, the scrotum very rare cause scrotal masses, even though many kinds extraarticular manifestations RA have been described1. Our case report details confusion that physicians experience when encountering scrotum. A 41-year-old …
Background and objectives: Bladder stimulation upregulates neurotrophins associated with voiding reflex. Bacterial cystitis can be a stimulant that activates this system, resulting in pathological state. Phosphorylated responsive element of binding protein (p-CREB) is pivotal transcriptional factor the neurotrophin signaling cascade. The goal our study was to examine change expression p-CREB dorsal root ganglia (DRG) rats after uropathogenic Escherichia coli infection bladder. Materials...
