This prospective study included 73 who were classified as ED had an indication for USG our urology outpatient clinic April 2017 January 2020. Fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, thyroid function tests, total testosterone, Endocan ADMA values sampled,...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among metabolic syndrome (MetS), erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Our included 106 BPH, 33 (31.1%) whom had MetS. Blood pressures, waist circumferences, serum levels fasting blood glucose, high density lipoprotein triglyceride were recorded. Erectile functions evaluated by International Index Function (IIEF). Patients divided into two groups according...

Studies show that erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with obesity, and it has been shown the possibility of developing sexual in obese men 30% higher compared to those normal weight. Obesity measured using various methods, for example waist circumference (WC) measurement or body mass index (BMI), but recently, visceral adiposity (VAI) also utilised better assess obesity metabolic syndrome. In our study, potential link between VAI ED was investigated. The data 176 patients who presented...

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasingly being recognized as a metabolic disease in recent studies.The aim of the present study was to identify prevalence syndrome (MetS) and its association with RCC among urologic patients.Materials Methods: The included total 355 participants (117 adult patients 238 age matched controls) divided into groups, without MetS diagnosed using criteria American Heart Association/The National Lung Blood Institute.Groups were compared statistically...

Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland and has anti-oxidative anti-inflammatory effects. Oxidative stress considered as an important factor in etiology of erectile dysfunction (ED), many experimental models, positive results have been obtained with melatonin treatment. This study aimed to measure serum levels ED patients investigate possible relationship between levels.Sixty-two diagnosed mild, moderate or severe according five-item International Erectile Function Index...

This study measured the serum folic acid (FA) level in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) and evaluated possible association between FA function. The divided 120 ED into 3 groups of 40 each: those severe, moderate mild ED. Forty healthy men served as controls. Fasting samples were obtained, total testosterone, cholesterol levels using chemiluminescent immunoassays. There no significant differences mean age, body mass index or testosterone among three controls (P > 0.05). concentrations...

defined as two or more consecutive increase of serum PSA values >0.2 ng/mL (Moul, 2000).The prediction the likelihood BCR is critical for surveillance strategy and risk stratification after RP.Like several previously published prognostic instruments, University California, San Francisco,

Recent studies have shown that ED is an early symptom of atherosclerosis. Fetuin-A, a glycoprotein secreted by the liver, kidneys and choroid plexus, has been linked to systemic fibrosis calcification in human rat studies. Deficiency this compound may play role atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease progression. The aim study was examine whether serum fetuin-A level related erectile function or severity ED. Sixty patients without were assigned one three groups (mild, moderate severe ED)...

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate relationship between patient's age and biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). Data from RRP applied 305 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer were included in study. Patients divided into three groups, < 60 years, 60–70 > 70 years. groups compared regarding adverse pathological findings on specimen, BCR, recurrence‐free survival (bRFS) rates. rates positive surgical margin, seminal vesicle...

The effects of medical therapy or surgery on bladder and prostatic resistive indices (RIs) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive benign hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) were evaluated the present study.A total 124 consecutive LUTS/BPH who candidates for (alfuzosin 10 mg once daily, n=66) (transurethral prostatectomy (TUR-P), n=58) prospectively included. Baseline assessment was performed International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), maximum flow rate (Qmax), RIs measured using power...

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anxiety and depression status of prostate cancer (PCa) patients whose planned operations in urology clinic our hospital, which is serving as a pandemic hospital Turkey have been postponed because coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.This survey study was conducted at Ankara City Hospital between March 1 June 1, 2020, included 24 male who agreed answer questionnaires (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI] I II Beck Depression [BDI]). Demographical clinical...

Abstract We evaluated the relationship between prostatic resistive index (RI) and cardiovascular system (CVS) risk factors in patients with benign hyperplasia. The study included 120 who were attending our outpatient clinic lower urinary tract symptoms related to clinical, laboratory, anthropometric data, CVS (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, history of events, smoking) regarding association prostate RI level by regression analyses. levels measured using power Doppler...

We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with dual cyclooxygenase inhibition, α-blocker alfuzosin, both alone in combination each other for lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive benign prostatic obstruction (LUTS/BPO).Ninety patients complaining moderate-to-severe LUTS/BPO were randomly assigned into 3 groups (30 each) receive alfuzosin XL 10 mg, or flurbiprofen SR 200 mg once daily 4 weeks. Patients evaluated using...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation among various preoperative clinical variables, including certain prostate needle biopsy parameters, biochemical failure, and adverse pathology, after radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). We retrospectively evaluated records our 156 patients who underwent RRP because localized cancer. Serum prostate-specific antigen level, stage, information obtained from [Gleason score, number positive cores, percentage cores (PPCs) dominant side...

Despite all preventive measures and improved biopsy techniques, serious, life-threatening complications of prostate biopsy, including sepsis, still exist. In the present study, in order to identify risk factors that may be associated with sepsis development after prostate-biopsy, we aimed analyze retrospectively data our patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy.We reviewed 889 at clinic. We compared pre-biopsy parameters (age, volume, white blood cell (WBC) count, fasting...
