The rapid development of point-of-care testing has made prompt diagnosis, monitoring and treatment possible for many patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases. Currently, the biggest challenge is further optimizing devices to facilitate more functionalities with higher efficiency performance, along specificity toward patient needs. By understanding that diseases may have difficulty breathing within a normal range, respiration sensor developed focusing on sensitivities in lower air...

Purpose:We investigated the long-term survival and patient satisfaction with an inflatable penile prosthesis as a treatment for refractory erectile dysfunction (ED).Materials Methods: Between July 1997 September 2014, total of 74 patients underwent implantation prosthesis.The present mechanical status was ascertained by telephone interview review medical records, related clinical factors were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression model.To investigate current devices, novel...
Abstract The World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) grading renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is classified from grade 1–4, regardless subtype. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (2022) state that if there an adverse pathological feature, such as 3 or higher RCC in stage 1 patients, more rigorous follow-up imaging recommended. However, the do not provide specific treatment policies by tumor grade. Therefore, this study attempted to...
Purpose: To report our surgical technique and initial experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) total intracorporeal urinary diversion compared an extracorporeal method. Subjects Methods: In total, 42 patients underwent RARC by a single surgeon at institute for clinically localized bladder cancer. Among these, 4 complete diversion. An ileal conduit was achieved in 3 patients, orthotopic neobladder created 1 patient. Our is presented detail, the cases were 38...
To investigate the clinicopathologic pattern of prostate cancer (PCa) in elderly patients compared with their younger counterparts a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level below low-risk threshold (< 10 ng/mL), which is often deciding factor for biopsy. A nationwide database PCa at time biopsy from 2010 to 2020 was constructed 39 hospitals. Patients were categorized into age groups < 64 years, 65-69 70-74 and ≥ 75 years considering guidelines that recommend PSA testing only those aged 55-69...
To evaluate the actual impact of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on patients with lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), without benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) medication.Two hundreds forty-six underwent TRT using intramuscular injection 3 months bases 100 mg undecanoate over a year. Among them, 17 had moderate LUTS maximal flow rate at least 10 ml/s but did not take any BPH-specific medication during TRT. The changes in specific antigen (PSA), International Prostate Symptom Score...
Purpose: Though urodynamic study (UDS) is the current established standard to distinguish between detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), concerns of patient discomfort potential complications catheterization deters its use.We inspected clinical variables discriminate DU BOO in uroflowmetry, which can be more easily performed practice.Materials Methods: Total 240 men who both underwent UDS uroflowmetry were reviewed.The patients divided into 2 groups by a single...
Introduction: To identify factors affecting potency and to predict ideal patient subgroups who will have the highest chance of being potent after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) based on nerve sparing (NS). Materials Methods: Analysis 7268 patients underwent RALP between 2008 2018 with a minimum 12 months follow-up was performed. The were then categorized into four separate neurovascular bundle-sparing groups (NVB 1-4). A Cox regression analysis used determine independent...
Conformal integration of an epidermal device with the skin, as well sweat and air permeability, are crucial to reduce stress on biological tissues. Nanofiber-based porous mesh structures (breathable devices) commonly utilized prevent skin problems. Noble metals normally deposited nanomesh substrates form breathable electrodes. However, these expensive require high-vacuum processes involving time-consuming multistep procedures. Organic materials suitable alternatives that can be simply...
To identify changes in prostate cancer (PCa) risk-stratification during the last two decades Korea, where social perception of PCa was limited due to a relatively low incidence but has recently been triggered by rapidly increasing benign hyperplasia.Retrospective data patients who had received diagnosis single Korean province (Daegu-Gyeongsangbuk) at all seven training hospitals years 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2021 were subjected analysis. Changes investigated with respect serum...
To define the role of laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (LU) as a primary modality for large proximal ureteral stones, we compared outcomes LU with those ureterorenoscopy (URS), currently established in this circumstance.Among 71 patients who underwent our institution between February 2005 and January 2010, 32 stone size over 1.5 cm without prior shockwave lithotripsy or URS whom was conducted separate procedure were exclusively enrolled. Based on preoperative characteristics patient group...
A robotic virtual reality simulator (dV-Trainer™, Mimic Technologies) has been accepted as an effective training tool for the da Vinci(®) Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) in previous reports. However, there are no data available so far on how much time is required individual using to become proficient. We investigated long and many performances it takes gain proficiency with through learning curve.The novice group included 20 medical students who had experience. The "Tube 2" task,...
Objectives To evaluate the effect on sexual function of patients and their spouses after transobturator tape ( TOT ) procedure, prospectively. Midurethral sling procedure has been widely performed for treatment urinary incontinence; however, little reported regarding surgery. Methods Between S eptember 2012 J une 2013, 65 undergoing partners were enrolled. An investigation was conducted using validated, self‐administered questionnaires, F emale exual unction I ndex FSFI satisfaction domain M...
To investigate the role of initial procalcitonin (PCT) level as an early predictor septic shock for patient with sepsis induced by acute pyelonephritis (APN) secondary to ureteral calculi.The data from 49 consecutive patients who met criteria due APN following stone were collected and divided into two groups: (n=15) or without (n=34) shock. The clinical variables including PCT this outcome retrospectively compared univariate analysis, followed multivariable logistic regression model.All...
Pelvic multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)–determined membranous urethral length (MUL) and its surgical maximization have been reported to impact early- long-term pad-free urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The objective of this study was present evidence (data video) important effects on post-RARP recovery from both innate mpMRI-assessed preservation MUL. Of 605 men undergoing RARP, 580 with complete follow-up were included: Group 1, prior...
