To elucidate the incidence of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), low- and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) carcinoma lesions, to explore role iNOS prostate tumorigenesis.Immunoreactivity for was examined 20 samples each BPH, PIN, low-grade PIN carcinoma.Positive immunostaining detected all from patients; both basal epithelial cells secretory glandular epithelium. High-grade had more intense than BPH samples. In samples, smooth...

Computerized tomography (CT) is used in the preoperative staging of invasive bladder carcinoma. We evaluated role CT for detecting perivesical invasion and lymph node metastases patients who had undergone radical cystectomy pelvic lymphadenectomy carcinoma.We retrospectively analyzed clinical pathological data 100 with carcinoma cystectomy. The images were reevaluated interpreted by one uroradiologist blinded to final results evidence extravesical tumor extension or metastases.Of patients,...

To evaluate the effect of interval between initial and second transurethral resection (TUR) on outcome patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated maintenance intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy.We reviewed data from 10 centres for NMIBC 2005 2012. Patients without a diagnosis muscle-invasive TUR performed ≤90 days after complete first TUR, received at least 1 year BCG were included in this study. The addition to other parameters recorded....

We assessed the influence of clinical and pathological factors on multifocality renal cell carcinoma.Between June 1995 September 1999 radical nephrectomy was performed in 71 men 32 women with a mean age 56.5 years. The 103 removed kidneys carcinoma were sectioned at 3 mm. intervals inspected microscopically for satellite carcinomas. evaluated stage, grade, type, histological pattern, vascular involvement, tumor size incidence multifocality. To determine type we used several classification...

Objectives To evaluate the quality of erections, ability to perform sexual intercourse, incidence complications and satisfaction patients using an external vacuum erection device in treatment erectile failure. Patients methods Of 61 impotent men who participated this clinical trial, 49 used were surveyed. The mean follow‐up period was 12.8 months. A subjective rating scale from 1 10 assess patients' with device, where indicated ‘dissatisfied’ ‘very satisfied’. Results ease erections...

We determined penile length alterations in men treated with androgen suppression plus radiation therapy for local or locally advanced prostate cancer.From November 2000 to 2005, 47 patients were enrolled this prospective study. After clinical staging all received hormonal (luteinizing hormone releasing agonist, leuprolide acetate goserelin every 3 months a total of injections) and at month 7 was begun (total 70 Gy) weeks. Stretched measurements performed before starting thereafter paper...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the change in penile size r bilateral nerve sparing retropubic radical prostatectomy (BNSRRP) and possible effect of Tadalafil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total 65 patients underwent BNSRRP they were evaluated prospectively for a whole year follow-up . The randomized to control without rehabilitation (Group 1) or Tadalafil group 2). at months 3, 6 12 postoperatively erectile function, measurements (flaccid length, length maximum erection, circumference flaccid status,...

To evaluate the association of patient age with pathological and long-term oncological outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder carcinoma, as this disease, like many others, increases in incidence age.We retrospectively reviewed 241 consecutive patients invasive cancer who had RC between 1990 2007. The at was analysed both a continuous categorical (< or =50 years, 38 patients; 51-69, 172; > =70, 31) variable. Survival also analysed.Increasing age, variable, associated advanced...

Traditionally, stones in anomalous kidneys have been removed by open or percutaneous surgery. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) with the Dornier MPL 9000 lithotripter was performed seven patients horseshoe kidneys, four pelvic ectopic and six malrotated kidneys. Twelve (71%) needed repeated treatments. A total of 11 (65%) all groups were stone free, had asymptomatic residual fragments no more than 5 mm diameter. In remaining two patients, sign disintegration observed, they underwent...

Introduction: We evaluated the prognostic effects of hematologic parameters preoperative leukocytosis and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.Methods: retrospectively reviewed medical records 363 cancer between January 1990 June 2013. In total, 286 were included study. Age, gender, pathologic stage, lymph node involvement, hydronephrosis, histologic subtype, surgical margin status, lymphovascular invasion recorded each patient....

To assess the accuracy of clinical staging methods in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer.Sixty-five invasive cancer primarily staged using transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), computed tomography (CT) and transurethral resection tumour (TURBT) were compared final pathological stage determined after radical cystectomy.Accurate was obtained by TRUS, CT TURBT 40, 35 46% patients, respectively. The rank correlation between primary stages significant all three methods, but not close.The...

To determine the incidence of bcl-2 protein expression in low- and high-grade prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN) lesions, to explore role tumorigenesis. Materials methods Immunoreactivity for was examined 10 samples benign hyperplasia (BPH), 13 primary adenocarcinoma, 15 PIN 18 low-grade PIN. All immunostaining results were scored approximate percentage positive tumour cells relative intensity (score range 0-12).In all BPH samples, staining detected consistently basal cell layer...

Although there is controversy surrounding this subject, some urologists in daily practice often prescribe antibiotics before biopsy to men with a newly increased prostate specific antigen. We evaluated the effects of on serum total antigen, free percent antigen and density between 4 10 ng/ml normal digital rectal examination. also investigated incidence cancer after antibiotic treatment by performing biopsies all patients regardless posttreatment antigen.Between May 2006 April 2008 100 were...

Objective. This study aimed to evaluate kidney function following radical or partial nephrectomy and the role of two common chronic diseases, hypertension (HT) diabetes mellitus (DM), on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in long term.
