Objectives Malignant external otitis (MEO) is a potentially fatal infection of the auditory canal, temporal bone, and skull base. Despite treatment with modern antibiotics, MEO can lead to base osteomyelitis. Until now, there have been few studies on prognostic factors MEO. Methods We performed retrospective study identify MEO, meta-analysis other articles investigating On basis disease progression 28 patients in our were divided into 'controlled' 'uncontrolled' groups, consisting 12 16...

This study investigated the learning curve of a single-session retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients with mid-sized stones. Competence and trainee proficiency for RIRS was assessed using cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM).The design use patients' information stored hospital database were approved by Institutional Review Board our institution. A retrospective review performed 100 who underwent RIRS. Patients included if main stone had maximal diameter between 10 30 mm. The presence...

To investigate surgical outcomes between retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) groups for a main stone sized 15 to 30 mm located in the lower-pole calyx. Patients who underwent PNL or RIRS calyx were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient group was matched one on basis of calculated propensity scores by use age, sex, body mass index, previous treatment history, site, maximum size, volume. We compared perioperative unmatched groups. (n=87, 66.4%) (n=44,...

The Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) scoring system was developed to predict the stone-free rate (SFR) after single-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study is an external validation of this system.A retrospective review included 327 patients who underwent PCNL at 2 tertiary referral centers. S-ReSC score assigned from 1 9 based on number sites involved. stone free status defined as either complete clearance or clinically insignificant residual fragments...

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation and radical cystectomy on high-risk NMIBC with squamous or glandular variants. We retrospectively reviewed data (T1 CIS HG TaG1/G2 multiple, recurrent, large tumor) patients from January 2000 December 2017. Comparative analysis cystectomy, intravesical BCG, observation groups was conducted in histologic Among 1263 patient, 62 (4.9%) were reported Thirty underwent BCG 15 subjected cystectomy....

There are only a few reports of extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) the external genitalia because it is rare malignancy. We investigated patients with EMPD penis and scrotum report outcome surgical management.From 2000 to 2012, total 19 diagnosed as having penile scrotal underwent wide local excision or without intraoperative frozen biopsy preoperative mapping biopsy. The medical charts these were reviewed analyzed retrospectively. Mean follow-up was 22.5 months (range, 1 60 months).The mean...

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> There are only a few studies on characteristics and outcomes of late recurrence (LR) urothelial carcinoma bladder (UCB) after radical cystectomy (RC). The objective this study was to assess oncological such LR that developed 5 years RC. <b><i>Materials Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively reviewed 570 patients who underwent RC bilateral regional lymphadenectomy for UCB at our institution. Comparisons post-recurrence...

We report the case of a renal transplant recipient with pulmonary and splenic mucormycosis whose demise was accelerated by myocardial abscess. Once diagnosed, liposomal amphotericin B started immunosuppressant treatments were discontinued. The cavities regressed during treatment, but new peri-allograft abscesses developed. abscess diffusely infiltrated left ventricular wall associated akinesia, which led to sudden cardiac arrest. This demonstrates rare manifestation highlights fatality...

To report the outcome of laparoscopic pyelo- and ureterolithotomies with aid flexible nephroscopy.A retrospective analysis was performed in 71 patients complex renal stones or large impacted proximal ureteral stones. Patients underwent without removal small residual by use nephroscopy between July 2005 2010. Operative success defined as no intravenous pyelogram at 12 weeks postoperatively. Perioperative results surgical outcomes were analyzed.The patients' mean age 54.7±13.7 years, 53 males...

Purpose The clinical behavior of prostate cancer differs by race and ethnicity; however, data on the Korean population are scarce. We assessed long-term oncologic outcomes clinically localized after radical prostatectomy in men. Materials Methods analyzed 786 patients who underwent prostatectomy, from June 1993 to 2008. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis log-rank test were used assess outcomes. Results mean age was 64.9±6.6 years. Pelvic lymph node dissection performed 373 patients....

The current stratification of risk groups regarding recurrence and progression non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is problematic. We aimed to assess the long-term outcome multiple, recurrent, large (≥3 cm) Ta, G1/G2 tumors after transurethral resection tumor (TURBT).We categorized 1,621 patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT into four according European Association Urology (EAU) guidelines as follows: low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, study group. overall, cancer-specific,...

We evaluated the comparative effect of miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) on perioperative kidney function by use diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) scintigraphy identified significant predictors associated with deterioration or amelioration renal after surgery.All 70 patients who underwent mini-PCNL RIRS between 2012 2016 were monitored 99mTc-DTPA preoperatively. Patients abnormal from 3 to 12 months postoperatively....

Positive airway pressure (PAP) is currently recommended as a primary treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and positively affects various subjective objective parameters related to OSAS, such the apnea-hypopnea index, excessive daytime sleepiness, blood pressure. However, PAP also exhibits adverse effects, including skin breakdown, intolerance, claustrophobia, unintentional mask removal, mouth leaks, dryness. Especially, removal due nasal obstruction may result in poor...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has negative effects on health, including increased mortality, risk of cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive difficulties. OSAS is common in obese patients obesity an important factor OSAS. A 41-year-old female patient with severe (body mass index [BMI] <TEX>${\geq}35$</TEX>) who failed dietary weight loss underwent bariatric surgery. After surgery, there were improvements BMI (from 36.9 to <TEX>$31.7kg/m^2$</TEX>) polysomnographic data, the...

Pulmonary papillomas are rare benign epithelial neoplasms arising in bronchial surface epithelium. They categorized by a variety of cell types including squamous, glandular, and mixed squamous glandular type. Among them, papilloma is extremely has not been reported Korea. The patient was 52 year-old man presenting with 4-months' history recurrent hemoptysis. Bronchofiberoscopy revealed whitish, glistening, polypoid mass lesion at the proximal bronchus basal segment left lower lung....

Thermal responses of adipose tissue to high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) were quantitatively evaluated for effective clinical lipolysis. A single-element HIFU transducer (4 MHz and 4.5 mm focal depth) was used in a linear motion thermally treat the at various acoustic energy densities treatment gaps. Both interstitial temperature rise denatured lesions increased with density (up 21.1 ± 1.9 K 0.40 0.15 mm2). No thermal overlapping observed due selective application ultrasonic beams....

A Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is an unfamillar and unusual cervical esophageal diverticulum. This originates on the anterolateral aspect of esophagus through Killian-Jamieson’s area that formed between cricopharyngeal muscle lateral to longitudinal muscle. Recently, we experienced a patient who was found outpouching lesion side left duodenoscopy. Then, barium esophagography performed in position demonstrated left-sided with frontal projection, highly suggestive KJD. There are two...
