ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFMEs) performed with new biofeedback Vibrance Kegel Device (VKD), compared to PFMEs alone, in treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Materials and MethodsThis was a pilot prospective, randomized trial women aged ≥18 years SUI symptoms who underwent at University Malaya Medical Centre from October 2011 2013. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: control (PFMEs alone) VKD biofeedback). 16 weeks...
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a necrotizing infection of the kidney and surrounding tissues associated with considerable mortality. We aimed to formulate score that classifies risk mortality in patients EPN at hospital admission.
Abstract Background Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use in prostate cancer (PCa) has seen a rising trend. We investigated the relationship between ADT and adverse changes metabolic parameters an Asian population. Methods This is international prospective multicenter single‐arm cohort yielded from real‐life experience of Asia (READT) registry. Consecutive ADT‐naïve patients diagnosed PCa started on were prospectively recruited 2016 analyzed. Baseline patient characteristics, disease...
Guidelines advocate cystoscopy surveillance (CS) for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) post-resection. However, is operator dependent and may miss upper tract lesions or carcinoma
Background: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a necrotizing infection of the kidney and surrounding tissues with significant mortality. We aimed to assess clinical factors their influence on prognosis in patients being managed for EPN without ESBL-producing bacteria identify if those due ESBL infections fared any different. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed diagnosis from 22 centers across 11 countries (between 2013 2020). Demographics, presentation, biochemical parameters,...
To investigate the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on health-related quality life (HRQOL) in Asian men with all stages prostate cancer.
To identify the associated factors determining prostate cancer detection using transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy, within a multi-ethnic Malaysian population with specific antigen (PSA) between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/ml.Study subjects included men initial PSA ng/ml that have undergone 12-core TRUS-guided biopsy 2009 2016. The rate was calculated, while potential were investigated via univariable multivariable analysis.A total of 617 from background encompassing Chinese (63.5%), Malay...
Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the standard procedure for treating large kidney stones, especially those measuring over 20 mm or staghorn stones. Accurate placement of tract into renal collecting system interest crucial. Objective: To compare free-hand puncture technique with robotic-assisted during fluoroscopy-guided PCNL on a phantom model in terms efficiency and safety. A self-assessment confidence levels after each was recorded. Study Design: This prospective...
Abstract Background Multidisciplinary team meeting (MDTM) has become an increasingly important part of disease management model, particularly in cancer care. MDTM consists a group doctors to provide independent opinions on diagnostic and treatment decisions, as well personalized therapeutic plan for patients. By selecting the most suitable patients from multiple perspectives, by multidisciplinary (MDT) have been shown advantages over traditional models. The objective this study is determine...
Recent evidence suggested the link between nephrolithiasis and renal function impairment. We aimed to determine profile potential factors associated with reduced amongst stone formers in multi-ethnic Asians.
Purpose: Once COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China, December 2019, it has rapidly spread worldwide. The Malaysian Government had taken an early measure by introducing the movement control order (MCO), which is a form of lockdown. This study aims at describing referral pattern for urology designated tertiary hospital throughout MCO period. Materials and Methods: All referrals received from March 18, 2020 to April 28, (i.e., during period) were included assessed prospectively. For...
Abstract Background : To explore the use of an automated needle targeting (ANT) device as assistive intraoperative navigation modality during PCNL for treatment large renal stones, with aim reducing surgical durations and radiation exposure. Methods This open-label, single-surgeon clinical trial included patients a diagnosis stones whom using ANT via percutaneous access technique was indicated. Ethical approval obtained from UMMC ethics review board (Ref. 20118105-6740). The assembled after...
