Purpose: We investigated the relationship between nocturia and mortality risk in United States.Methods: Data were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2010. Mortality data by linking primary database to death certificate found Death Index with follow-up up December 31, 2015. Nocturia was defined based on symptoms reported symptom questionnaire. categorized patients into 2 groups: mild (2–3 voids/night) moderate-to severe (≥4 voids/night). Multiple Cox regression...

Purpose We aimed to investigate the association of obesity with nocturia using a nationally representative sample adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 2012. Methods A total 14,135 participants were included in this study. performed multivariate logistic regression analysis find odds ratio (OR) for nocturia. Furthermore, OR BMI was analyzed restricted cubic splines (RCS) five knots. conducted subgroup according age, sex, hypertension, diabetes...
Pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is a therapeutic option for urinary incontinence (UI). However, studies of the efficacy PFME on UI in patients with cognitive impairment (CI) are lacking. Therefore, we evaluated effect elderly women mild CI.A total 150 CI or Alzheimer disease and were screened using International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Cognitive function behavioral symptoms by Mini-Mental State Examination Barthel's Activities Daily Living. The...
Abstract Aims To investigate the association of nocturia with prevalence cardiovascular disease (CVD) using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Methods Among 40 790 individuals who participated in NHANES from 2005 to 2012, 14 114 adults were analyzed this study. A participant was considered have if they two or more voiding episodes nightly. In addition, participants than four times a day severe nocturia. multivariate logistic regression analysis adjustment for...
Introduction A significant proportion of patients undergoing salvage radiotherapy (RT) for biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy (RP) may again experience BCR after RT. Thus, we evaluated the clinical significances different parameters on outcome RT in setting. Methods We reviewed records 212 who underwent between November 2003 and December 2012 primary RP. BCR-free survivals were estimated using Kaplan–Meier method. Cox proportional hazard regression models used to...
The efficacy of statins is related to the 'common soil' hypothesis, which proposes oxidative stress and inflammation as main pathophysiologic processes in disease group diabetes endothelial dysfunction. This study evaluated recovery erectile function after administration chronic statin alone streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mellitus (DM) rats, focusing on anti-oxidative effects consequentially recuperated function. A total 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks old) were divided into three groups...
Objectives To analyze the feasibility of carrying out endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery with supine miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde for patients bilateral stones in a single session. Methods The records consecutive presenting kidney who underwent (15‐Fr nephroscope) on one side, contralateral side were prospectively collected analyzed. After procedure, flexible uretero‐renoscopy was carried active removal stone fragments. Subsequently, side. Results Overall, 26...

Purpose: To compare the improving effects of diabetic erectile dysfunction with two anti-glycemic agents; phlorizin and insulin.Materials Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (n=15 in each group): normal control (C), untreated (D), treated by (P) or insulin (I).Ten weeks after induction using an injection streptozotocin (55 mg/kg), was conducted.Erectile response, Western blot, immunohistochemistry assessed.Results: During experiment, C-group showed continuous...
Various methods have been used for scar prevention; however, the optimal method remains unclear. We investigated efficacy of combinational intense pulsed light (IPL)/fractional erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser treatment in early wound healing. This was a prospective, randomized, controlled split trial. Scars were divided into three sites: combined IPL/fractional Er:YAG treatment, fractional and untreated control sites. Treatment conducted sessions: at removal stitches...
Abstract Background We analyzed the influence of anesthesia methods on surgical outcomes and renal function in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) a prospective, randomized controlled study. Methods Seventy patients who underwent RIRS from September 2015 to February 2017 were randomly allocated general (GA) or spinal (SA) groups. Renal was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate, separate evaluated nuclear medicine tests. Maneuverability accessibility after every surgery. All...
We analyzed whether expansion of existing active surveillance (AS) protocols to include men with biopsy Gleason score (GS) 3+4 prostate cancer (PCa) would significantly alter pathologic and biochemical outcomes potential candidates AS.Among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy at our center between 2006 2013, we identified 577 (group A) preoperatively fulfilled least one 6 different AS criteria. Also, 217 B) GS but non-GS criteria from Designating group C as expanded incorporating...
