Abstract The clinical guidelines for interstitial cystitis and related symptomatic conditions were revised by updating our previous guidelines. current define cystitis/bladder pain syndrome as a condition with chronic pelvic pain, pressure or discomfort perceived to be the urinary bladder accompanied other symptoms, such persistent urge void frequency in absence of confusable diseases. characteristic symptom complex is collectively referred hypersensitive symptoms. Interstitial divided into...
Worldwide outbreaks of infectious diseases necessitate the development rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Colorimetric assays are a representative tool to simply identify target molecules in specimens through color changes an indicator (e.g., nanosized metallic particle, dye molecules). The detection method is used confirm presence biomarkers visually measure absorbance colored compounds at specific wavelength. In this study, we propose colorimetric assay based on extended form...
Study Design Thirty-nine adults and five children with active spinal tuberculosis resulting kyphosis of the dorsal lumbar spine who had combined posterior instrumentation anterior interbody fusion were observed to determine whether corrected deformity could be maintained until solid fusion. Objective To evaluate effectiveness two-stage procedure for treating due tuberculosis. Summary Background Data Until 1970, all methods treatment, tended increase during therapy. Most patients treated...
A clinical guideline and algorism for interstitial cystitis hypersensitive bladder syndrome has been developed by a group of East Asian urologists as revised form the Japanese cystitis. The defines (IC) disease urinary diagnosed 3 requirements; 1) characteristic complex lower tract symptoms, 2) pathology such Hunner's ulcer bleeding after overdistension, 3) exclusions confusable diseases. symptom is termed (HBS), which defined hypersensitivity, usually associated with frequency, or without...
This study includes 182 patients with intracranial gliomas who received bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), 200 mg/sq m intravenously, at the time of craniotomy but before tumor biopsy. The specimens were stained for BUdR using immunoperoxidase method; labeling index (LI), or S-phase fraction, was calculated as percentage BUdR-positive cells. median LI's 127 primary moderately anaplastic astrocytomas, highly and glioblastomas (less than 1%, 2.7%, 7.3%, respectively; range 0% to 38.1%) not...
Objective To evaluate the potential of solifenacin 5 mg combined with mirabegron 25 or 50 to deliver superior efficacy compared monotherapy, acceptable tolerability, in general overactive bladder ( OAB ) population urinary incontinence UI ). Patients and Methods After a 4‐week placebo run‐in, patients aged ≥18 years wet (urgency, frequency for ≥3 months who recorded on average ≥8 micturitions/24 h, ≥1 urgency episode/24 episodes over 7‐day micturition diary, were eligible randomisation...
Synergistic integration of the Internet Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big data technologies in healthcare have led to notion "smart health." Smart health is an emerging concept that refers provision services for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up management at any time or place by connecting information healthcare. As a significant breakthrough smart development, IoT-enabled devices allow medical centers carry out preventive care, treatment more competently. This review focuses...
Few population-based data are available evaluating the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Asia. The objective our study was to determine LUTS China, Taiwan, and South Korea using International Continence Society (ICS) 2002 criteria. An Internet-based self-administered survey among individuals aged at least 40 years with ability use a computer read local language. Survey questions included ICS symptom definitions international prostate score (IPSS). Data analysis based on...
Objective The aim of the present study was to determine prevalence overactive bladder (OAB) in individuals aged ≥40 years C hina, T aiwan, and S outh K orea. Methods cross‐sectional population‐representative Internet‐based investigated OAB symptoms men women using symptom score. Additional instruments included International Index Erectile Function (men only) Sexual Quality Life – Female (women questionnaires, as well Patient Perception Bladder Condition (PPBC). Results In all, 8284...
Coronary artery disease, which is mostly caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of the coronary lumen, a leading cause death. angiography standard method to estimate severity stenosis, but frequently limited intra- and inter-observer variations. We propose deep-learning algorithm that automatically recognizes stenosis in angiographic images. The proposed consists key frame detection, deep learning model training for classification on each frame, visualization possible location stenosis....
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a therapeutic modality involving propiverine combined with doxazosin in patients overactive bladder (OAB) benign prostatic obstruction.Men 50 years or older OAB symptoms urodynamically proven outlet obstruction (Abrams-Griffith score greater than 20) were randomized (1:2) into 2 groups, namely group 1-doxazosin controlled release gastrointestinal system formulation (4 mg once daily) only 2-propiverine hydrochloride (20 plus for an 8-week treatment...
Aims To assess the efficacy and safety of mirabegron 50 mg once daily compared with placebo active control, tolterodine extended‐release (ER) 4 daily, in patients symptoms overactive bladder (OAB) Taiwan, Korea, China, India. Methods A 12‐week multinational, randomized, double‐blind, parallel‐group placebo‐ active‐controlled trial. The primary endpoint was change from baseline to final visit mean number micturitions/24 hr. Secondary endpoints were: urgency episodes, incontinence episodes...
In outbreaks of infectious disease, medical students are easily overlooked in the management healthcare personnel protection although they serve clinical clerkships hospitals. early summer 2015, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) struck South Korea, and Sungkyunkwan University School Medicine (SKKUSOM) were at risk contracting disease. The purpose this report is to share SKKUSOM's experience against MERS outbreak provide suggestions for schools consider face similar challenges.Through a...
Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a new combined entity for which soft-tissue-type grading system, ranging from grades I to III, has been introduced in the 2016 WHO classification of tumors CNS. The results treatment this disease require evaluation.
Underactive bladder or detrusor underactivity (DUA), that is, not being able to micturate, has received less attention with little research and remains unknown limited on pathological causes treatments as opposed overactive bladder, although the syndrome may pose a risk of urinary infections life-threatening kidney damage. Here, we present an integrated expandable electronic optoelectronic complex behaves single body elastic, time-dynamic substantial volume changes up ~300%. The system...
Current standard clinical options for patients with detrusor underactivity (DUA) or underactive bladder─the inability to release urine naturally─include the use of medications, voiding techniques, and intermittent catheterization, which patient inserts a tube directly into urethra eliminate urine. Although those are life-saving there still unfavorable side effects, including urinary tract infection (UTI), urethritis, irritation, discomfort. Here, we report wireless, fully implantable,...
Abstract Purpose: Among various intracorporeal lithotriptors, Lithoclast (EMS, Switzerland) has become the widely used tool for treatment of urinary stones. Recently, holmium:YAG laser been with a wide range potential urological applications, including lithotripsy calculi. The purpose present study is to compare in ureteral calculi fragmentation. Methods: Out 51 patients calculi, 26 underwent and 25 using 8/9.8F rigid ureteroscope. There were no changes ureteroscopes, video monitors, baskets...
