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...
Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder. However, it remains unclear whether there causal relationship between presence Hunner lesions and seemingly normal-appearing areas in bladder (non-Hunner lesions). This study aimed to investigate fundamental aspects HIC by examining potential genetic differences non-Hunner elucidate their role as markers progression suppression disease.
To establish a foundation for raising awareness and disseminating accurate information about enuresis-one of the most challenging conditions to discuss openly-this paper examines public perceptions enuresis.
Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate machine learning models, specifically CatBoost extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), for diagnosing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in male patients. The objective is differentiate between bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) detrusor underactivity (DUA) using a comprehensive dataset that includes patient-reported outcomes, uroflowmetry measurements, ultrasound-derived features.Methods: used this was collected from patients aged 40 older who...
Aims To evaluate long-term outcomes of primary implantation and revisions artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in men with stress incontinence (SUI). Methods The medical records 155 consecutive patients who underwent AMS 800™ from 2003 to 2015 were reviewed. Treatment success (TS) was defined as no need for pads, social continence (SC) a pad ≤1/day at last follow-up. efficacy, complication rates, associated risk factors reoperation durability AUS implantation, well treatment following revision...
To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic ablation Hunner lesions (HLs) in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) and to find predictors early recurrence HLs.A prospective study was performed type IC who underwent transurethral ablation. We repeated when symptoms HLs recurred during follow-up period. The primary endpoint recurrence-free time. Secondary endpoints were a change frequency, nocturia, urgency episodes, changes visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores other symptom indices at...
To diagnose lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in a noninvasive manner, we created prediction model for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DUA) using simple uroflowmetry. In this study, used deep learning to analyze uroflowmetry.We performed retrospective review of 4,835 male patients aged ≥40 years who underwent urodynamic study at single center. We excluded with disease or history surgery that could affect LUTS. A total 1,792 were included the study. extracted...
Penile abscesses are rare, but can develop after trauma, injection therapy, or surgery of the penis, as an unusual presentation sexually transmitted diseases. We report a case penile abscess in 51-year-old diabetic man, presented 9 days neglected fracture following intracavernosal therapy and sexual intercourse. ultrasonography surgical exploration confirmed physical examination findings involvement corpus cavernosum. The pus culture from revealed Enterococcous faecalis. patient was...
Purpose: To investigate the differences in cancer detection rate and pathological findings on a second prostate biopsy according to benign diagnosis, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) first biopsy. Materials Methods:We retrospectively reviewed records of 1,323 patients who underwent between March 1995 November 2012.We divided into three groups pathologic (benign HGPIN, ASAP).We compared Gleason scores unfavorable disease after...
Objective To analyze trends in the use of partial nephrectomy, we evaluated which individual factors renal nephrometry score (RNS) influenced operative approach bi-annually from 2008 to 2014. Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective review cell carcinoma treated by surgery 2008, 2010, 2012, The complexity masses was measured using R.E.N.A.L. scoring system with CT or MRI. Group comparison terms operation year surgical type (partial nephrectomy versus radical nephrectomy) performed....
Purpose: Predicting improvements in voiding symptoms following deobstructive surgery for male lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) is challenging when detrusor contractility impaired. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence model that predicts symptom improvement after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), focusing on changes maximum flow rate (MFR) and efficiency (VE) 1-month postsurgery.Methods: We reviewed 1,933 patients who...
The management of postprostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) is still challenging for urologists. In recent decades, various kinds male sling system have been developed and introduced; however, they not yet shown as good a result that artificial sphincter (AUS). However, in an important position because patients high demand implantation, it can allow the avoidance use mechanical devices like AUS. Recently, has widely used mild-to-moderate PPI patients; there are no studies compare...
Aim The current standard diagnostic test to evaluate bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is pressure-flow study (PFS). penile cuff (PCT) was introduced as a non-invasive alternative PFS determine the isovolumetric pressure and also flow rate. aim of accuracy acceptability PCT, compared those PFS, in assessment BOO men. Methods A total 146 consecutive men with an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) >12 lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for >6 months were included this...
Purpose This study aimed to investigate potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB). Methods A total 219 subjects were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: OAB (n=189) controls without symptoms (n=30). Three-day voiding diaries questionnaires collected, urinary levels nerve growth factor (NGF), prostaglandin E2, adenosine triphosphate measured normalized urine creatinine (Cr). Baseline characteristics markers analyzed. receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was...
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate urinary nerve growth factor (NGF) as a biomarker treatment efficacy and recurrence in overactive bladder (OAB) patients. Methods We enrolled 189 OAB subjects who visited our outpatient clinic from February 2010 2015. All with received antimuscarinic treatment. A 3-day voiding diary questionnaire were collected each patient. Urinary levels NGF evaluated at baseline, the beginning treatment, end normalized urine creatinine (Cr). Between-group...
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is the gold-standard treatment for apical compartment prolapse, as it more effective and durable than transvaginal approach. In current era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic techniques have been described, but not gained popularity due to their complexity steep learning curves. To overcome this problem, robotic was introduced, has shown equivalent outcomes safety compared open based on findings that accumulated over 15 years.
Current clinical data support a safe warm ischemia time (WIT) limit of 30 minutes during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) or robot-assisted (RPN). We evaluated independent factors predicting prolonged WIT (more than minutes) after LPN RPN.A retrospective review was performed for 317 consecutive patients who underwent RPN by the same surgeon from October 2007 to May 2013. Patients were divided into two groups: group A defined as (≥30 and B short (<30 minutes). compared between groups...
We performed a prospective, single-arm study comparing outcomes between transurethral ablation plus postoperative instillation of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate (HACS group) only in patients with Hunner type interstitial cystitis (historical control group). A total 78 were enrolled, 51 included the per-protocol analysis set. The 2-year recurrence rate was 47.1% (95% CI, 32.9-61.5) HACS group, which significantly lower than that group (86.2%; 95% 74.6-93.9, P < 0.001). After therapy,...
