OBJECTIVE: Compare the capacity of PSA density (PSAD), Free percentage (%FPSA) and transition zone (PSATZ) in improving sensitivity specificity to detect prostate cancer (PCa) men with a between 4 10 ng/mL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred forty five ng/mL were prospectively studied. Blood collection for total free was performed as well transrectal ultra-sound biopsy measurement volume (TPV) (TZV). Patients initial negative followed repeated those that presented increase. The PSAD, %FPSA...

Aim: Compare inflammation and collagen production induced by four sling materials in female rats. Methods: Adult rats (n=144) were submitted to a urinary incontinence model neutering. After weeks they randomized 5 groups: Sham; autologous sling; Marlex; swine intestinal submucosa (SIS), polypropylene mesh (TVT). Animals killed at 7, 30 90 days. The inflammatory infiltrated area was rated from 0 3 (0=area smaller than 25%, 1=between 25% 50%, 2 between 50% 75%, for areas greater 75%). presence...

Carboxymethyl-glucan (CM-G) is a soluble derivative from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1 → 3)(1 6)-β-D-glucan. The protective efficiency of CM-G against DNA damage in cells patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa), and undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), was evaluated. scores were obtained by the comet assay, both before after treatment CM-G. reduction damage, ranging 18% to 87%, an average 59%, not related increased number leukocytes peripheral blood. results demonstrate for...

Carboxymethyl-glucan (CM-G) is a water-soluble derivative of β(1-3)(1-6) glucan that well known for its immunostimulant and hematopoiesis-enhancing activities. In this clinical trial, we assessed the effects oral CM-G administration on peripheral blood cells patients with advanced prostate cancer, examined ability to alter hepatic renal function. After administration, total leukocyte count increased significantly (p≤0.02), no associated changes in lifestyle habits patients. A significant...

β-Glucan, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a biological response modifier which affects the innate and adaptive immune responses. The CCR5 chemokine receptor crucial for cell In this study, effects of carboxymethylated form β-glucan (CM-G) on lymphocyte population genotype patients with prostate cancer (PCa), undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was assessed. investigated by cytometry flow in 30 Brazilian advanced PCa who were treated CM-G 28 days. analysis revealed that...

Purpose: To establish whether the citrate concentration in seminal fluid ([CITRATE]) measured by means of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HNMRS) is superior to serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) men with persistently elevated PSA. Materials and Methods: The group patients consisted 31 consecutively seen histological diagnosis localized csPCa. control 28 under long-term follow-up (mean 8.7 ± 3.0 years) for...

Abstract Objective To assess the efficacy of vaginal electrical stimulation (VS) versus transcutaneous tibial nerve (TTNS) in women with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). Material and Methods Sixty‐nine patients were randomized to receive 12 sessions VS TTNS, or no treatment (control group—CG), over 6 weeks. OAB impact according international consultation on incontinence questionnaire module (ICIQ‐OAB), symptoms discomfort scores voiding diaries evaluated at baseline, weeks 1‐month...

Objectives To describe saphenous reflux patterns in patients classified as CEAP C2 by analysis of 2027 vascular ultrasound examination reports. Methods A total venous mapping studies were reviewed and 1196 selected. Patients according to for the great vein small vein, rates analyzed both sexes. Results The overall prevalence was 45%. Males had significantly higher than females ( p < 0.001). most common pattern segmental males proximal reflux. Conclusions Saphenous is more frequent males....

To evaluate the association between increased intima-media thickness (IMT) and atherosclerotic carotid plaque (CP) with idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in women metabolic (MetS).This is a cross-sectional study, which included consecutive aged 40-75 years MetS, seeking medical assistance at reference center April December 2016. OAB-V8 questionnaire was used to estimate prevalence of OAB symptoms, were defined by score ≥8 points. All patients underwent bilateral artery ultrasound...

Independent external validation of a predictive nomogram for risk reinfection in women with history non-complicated recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI).A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted to validate the LUTIRE Brazilian female cohort. The applied 81 presenting recurring UTI screened at urological clinic. External performed using variables patients followed up from January 2014 December 2016 Accuracy obtained by analyzing capacity observed area under receiver operating...

INTRODUCTION: Aponeurotic sling surgeries can evolve with obstruction or voiding dysfunction in 5 to 20% of patients. There are few studies on factors that could possibly predispose difficulties urinary retention. The objective this work is identify these potential clinical urodynamic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Records from 130 patients who underwent aponeurotic were reviewed. All a throughout study during pre-operative investigation. variables studied age above 65 years, previous...

Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática das abordagens terapêuticas utilizadas no manejo da sepse em pacientes críticos internados Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases dados Biblioteca Virtual Saúde (BVS), utilizando os descritores "sepse", "tratamento" e "UTI". Desses, apenas 4 responderam diretamente à pergunta foram incluídos na final. Os resultados indicam que as mais eficazes envolvem intervenções precoces, o uso antimicrobianos...

A Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Agudo (SDRA) é uma condição crítica caracterizada por hipoxemia aguda e edema pulmonar não cardiogênico, frequentemente resultante de infecções graves, traumas ou outras condições médicas severas. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência as características clínicas pacientes diagnosticados com SDRA ao chegarem no serviço emergência. metodologia seguiu diretrizes PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses),...

This study examined and compared efficacy, safety, satisfaction, complications of the retropubic Safyre™ sling a hand-made synthetic (HMS) in short-, mid- long-term follow-up.We retrospectively reviewed prospectively maintained database women who underwent or HMS between March 7ths 2005 December 27ths, 2017. Patients had first assessment (7-10 days), second (40-45 third (sixth month) postoperatively. Between September 2018, patients completed at least one year surgery, received telephone...

We describe a modification of the cadaveric prolapse repair and sling - CaPS technique that uses surgery principles to correct grade IV cystocele. In this modification, central paravaginal defects reconstitution are performed using fascia lata fixed over rectus abdominis muscle, eliminating need pubic fixation by screws, as proposed original technique. The described, besides presenting benefits CaPS, i.e., not impaired tissues reconstruct vesical support, lower risks perineal...
