Although chronic pelvic pain syndrome impairs the life of millions people worldwide, exact pathomechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. As with other syndromes, central nervous system may have an important role in syndrome. Thus, we assessed brain alterations associated abnormal processing patients syndrome.Using morphology assessment applying structural magnetic resonance imaging, prospectively investigated a consecutive series 20 men refractory syndrome, and compared these gender age...

BACKGROUND: The Baxter Amicus Version 2.51 (A) and the Gambro BCT Trima Accel 5.0 (T) cell separators may produce multiple platelet (PLT) concentrates within a single donation. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: single‐needle plateletpheresis procedures of two devices were compared in prospective, randomized, paired crossover study 60 donors. 120 donations for donor comfort, collection efficiency, residual white blood (WBC) count, (in selected patients) corrected count increment (CCI). RESULTS: mean...
Background:In a previous observational study, thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) after open renal surgery resulted in clinically relevant postvoid residuals (PVRs).This study aimed to investigate the individual contribution of epidurally administrated drugs and bladder dysfunction.Methods: In this single-center, parallel-group, randomized (computer-generated list), double-blind superiority trial, 40 patients undergoing were equally allocated receive bupivacaine (0.125%) alone or with fentanyl...
Abstract Aims To investigate urologists' referral attitude for sacral neuromodulation (SNM) treating refractory idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and to quantify the weight they attribute clinical parameters refrain from SNM referral. Methods We set up a vignette study using discrete‐choice design. The questionnaires were distributed at two national urological meetings. Results One hundred eight urologists completed questionnaire. Three significantly associated with decision...
