Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are infectious diseases that commonly occur in communities. Although several international guidelines for the management of UTIs have been available, clinical characteristics, etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns may differ from country to country. This work represents an update 2011 Korean guideline UTIs. The current was developed by adaptation method. practice provides recommendations diagnosis UTIs, including asymptomatic bacteriuria, acute...
This study aimed to report the results of Korean Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (KARMS) for uncomplicated cystitis (UC) in 2023. KARMS was established surveillance antimicrobial resistance urinary tract infections with cooperation nationwide medical centers. Data from patients UC have been collected web-based database. Demographic data, uropathogen distribution, and susceptibility representative pathogens were analyzed. A total 885 patients' data The mean patient age 56.39±18.26...
To determine effectiveness of Valsalva maneuver and standing position on scrotal color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) for the varicocele diagnosis.We reviewed physical examination CDU finding in 87 patients who visited National Police Hospital from January 2011 to April 2014. Diameters pampiniform plexus were measured bilaterally during resting supine position. We calculated ratio mean maximal vein diameter (mMVD) (resting-Valsalva ratio) compared both position.In position, mMVD testis units 1.8...
<i>Introduction:</i> Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the pivotal in hypothalamopituitary gonadal axis. Recently, localization of extrahypothalamic GnRHs and GnRH receptors has been made several organs but not bladder. We studied receptor bladder cancer epithelia, role on cell proliferation. <i>Material Methods:</i> Normal human mucosa, transitional tissue, 4 lines were used. For culture media, normal or charcoal-stripped serum with exogenous different...
Purpose: To investigate any associations between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials Methods:In all, 1,224 male police officers in their 50s who had participated health examinations were included.LUTS/BPH was assessed by serum prostate-specific antigen, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), transrectal ultrasonography, maximum flow rate (Q max), postvoid residual urine volume (PVR).In addition, testosterone...
This multicenter study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis and identify risk factors for infectious complications after prostate surgery in Korean patients.A total 424 patients who underwent were reviewed.All urinalysis urine culture preoperatively postoperatively.Efficacy investigated.Infectious observed 34.9% all patients.Factors independently associated with diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.09-3.65,P = 0.025) operation time 1.08; 1.03-1.13,P...
There is no reported evidence for an anthropometric index that might link obesity to men's sexual health. We evaluated the ability of and symptom scores five widely used questionnaires detect health problems. determined predictive abilities two indexes other clinical parameters screening lower urinary tract symptoms dysfunction in middle-aged men.A total 1,910 men were included study. Participants underwent a detailed evaluation recording questionnaires. The participants' body mass...
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to compare prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) between transaxial scanning and midsagittal scanning.We tried determine which method is superior.Materials Methods: A total 968 patients who underwent TRUS for diagnosis any diseases related the were included in study.When measuring TRUS, we conducted measurements two ways at same time all patients: use height obtained scanning.Prostate calculated using ellipsoid formula...
This study aimed to analyze and describe the morbidity mortality associated with tracheostomy in patients oral cancer identify risk factors complications.We performed a retrospective chart review of who underwent during major resection between March 2001 January 2016 at National Cancer Center, Korea. Overall, we included 51 after surgery. We assessed determined risks complications.Twenty-two tracheostomy-related complications occurred patients. The rates were 35.2 % (n = 18) 0 0),...
Uncomplicated cystitis is a leading form of bacterial UTI; the most common causative bacterium worldwide
Purpose: High serum inorganic phosphorus level is related with atherosclerosis and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease.At the same time, association erectile dysfunction (ED) not well reported.We studied effect on ED relationship other clinical variables.Materials Methods: From March to September 2013, 1,899 police men aged 40 59 years who entered in a prostate health screening were targeted.All subjects underwent checking using International Index Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5)...
Purpose: Scrotal discomfort is a recognized complication of vasectomy, but the natural history and incidence this problem are uncertain.The typical ultrasonographic changes after vasectomy primarily include epididymal thickening tubular ectasia with diminished blood flow in epididymis.We prospectively studied differences features testis epididymis between patients those without scrotal vasectomy.Materials Methods: We assessed pain scores 178 men who underwent outpatient bilateral no-scalpel...
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the value of NTrap Ⓡ (Cook Urological INC, USA), which was designed block upward movement stones during ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Materials and Methods:We reviewed data 144 patients who underwent lithotripsy for an upper ureteral stone from June 2006 May 2010.Sixty-eight without use were assigned Group I 76 with II.The size stones, operation time, success rate, pre-and postoperative complications compared retrospectively between two groups. Results:The...
Objectives To provide surgical treatment trends for urinary stone disease in Korea. Methods We analyzed medical service claim data of treatments to submitted by providers from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service 2009 2016. Results There was a significantly increasing trend among outpatients inpatients 2016 ( R 2 = 0.643, P 0.017; 0.575, 0.029). The number shock wave lithotripsy treating increased 16% 89 553 104 013 0.684). ureteroscopic 97% 6106 12 057 0.99). flexible 16‐fold...
The most common type of prostatitis is category III, also known as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). current National Institutes Health definition CP/CPPS includes genitourinary with or without voiding symptoms in the absence uropathogenic bacteria, detected by standard microbiological methods, other identifiable causes such malignancy. Many different etiologies and mechanisms pathogenesis have been proposed a suggested role for immunological, neurological,...
