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...
To compare the perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and early oncologic outcomes of intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) with those extracorporeal (ECUD) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) performed by a single surgeon at tertiary referral hospital.We reviewed prospectively maintained, institutional review board-approved database 70 patients treated RARC pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection for bladder cancer from 2007 through 2014. Data were collected 64 who...
The hydrolysis of glucosinolates (GSLs) by myrosinase yields varieties degradation products including isothiocyanates (ITCs). This process is controlled the glucosinolatemyrosinase (G-M) system. major ITCs in radish roots are raphasatin and sulforaphene (SFE), levels these compounds decrease during storage after harvest. We investigated GM system to understand mechanism behind roots. Six were stored for 8 weeks at 0–1.5 °C. concentrations GSLs (glucoraphasatin glucoraphenin) maintained...
Abstract BACKGROUND We developed a Korean Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator (KPCRC) for predicting the probability of positive initial prostate biopsy using clinical and laboratory data from male population (http://pcrc.korea.ac.kr). compared its performance to prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing 3 (PRC 3) based on Dutch part European Randomized Study Screening (ERSPC), which predicts results previously unscreened men. METHODS Data were collected 602 men who underwent ten‐core biopsies....
To identify the prognostic factors causing persistent storage symptoms following transurethral resection of prostate in patients with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE).A total 116 men symptomatic BPE requiring surgery were enrolled study between January 2011 and December 2012. The underwent basic clinical evaluations including transrectal ultrasound, International Prostate Symptom Score urodynamic study. After 6 months, uroflowmetry rechecked. definition was scores >7 points. Logistic...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy narrow-band imaging (NBI) as a diagnostic tool for detecting bladder tumors during cystoscopy compared with white light (WLC).From December 2013 June 2017, randomized prospective conducted on 198 patients underwent transurethral resection tumor by single surgeon. were divided into two groups according method. In Group I, WLC only performed. II, NBI additionally performed after WLC. We analyzed rate detection primary endpoint. addition,...
Abstract Background: This double‐blind, multicenter study compared the efficacy and tolerability of tolterodine (Pharmacia, Los Angeles, USA) with that oxybutynin (Alza, Palo Alto, in Asian patients overactive bladder. Methods: Two‐hundred‐and‐twenty‐eight adults bladder symptoms were randomized to receive 2 mg twice daily (bid) ( n = 112) or 5 bid 116). After 8 weeks’ treatment, changes micturition diary variables, patients’ perception treatment benefit, endpoints determined. Results: The...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the circadian variation of plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and urine output in patients with severe nocturia (> three times per night) to assess effect oral desmopressin on nocturnal these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve five age‐matched controls without were assessed over 24 h (circadian sampling) during a 72‐h hospital admission. Blood levels ADH changes measured before after administration (0.2 mg, at 22.00 hours second day), not treated desmopressin....
Abstract Aims The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence nocturia in Korea, examine relationship between and demographic variables, determine impact on daily living. Methods A national telephone survey using quota sampling methods conducted Korea. clinically validated computer‐assisted interview approach used for survey. Results Of 2005 subjects (1,005 women 1,000 men) interviewed, 33.5% reported voiding once per night 48.2% twice or more night. Nocturia increased with age...
To investigate the effects of a daily regimen propiverine 20 mg in patients with an overactive bladder (OAB), focused on improving urgency, as clinical efficacy treatment for OAB should be measured terms cornerstone symptom OAB.Eligible aged > or = 18 years symptoms were enrolled this multicentre, prospective, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Of 264 (mean age 52.2 years), 221 who had data available from baseline and at least one on-treatment visit >75% compliance medication...
We assessed predictive factors for acute renal cortical scintigraphic lesion and ultimate scar formation in children with a first febrile urinary tract infection.A total of 89 girls 138 boys infection were included the study. analyzed radiological (ultrasound, dimercapto-succinic acid scintigraphy, voiding cystourethrogram), clinical (age, gender, peak fever, therapeutic delay time) laboratory (complete blood count differential count, absolute neutrophil urea nitrogen, creatinine,...
Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) is a disabling disease of the urinary bladder, and its etiology treatment are not yet established. Current medications used in PBS/IC have shown limited efficacy. This prospective study investigated efficacy intravesical resiniferatoxin (RTX) refractory to medical treatment.Patients with proven traditional were enrolled. By randomized trial, total 18 consecutive patients divided into two groups: hydrodistention RTX (group 1) or...
There are no established statistical data available for the comparison of different surgical methods adopted resection benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study investigates present status related to BPH surgery in Korea past 8 years.National-level from National Health Insurance Service and Statistical Office were analyzed this study. From 2010 2017, trends surgeries reviewed according procedure code including transurethral prostate (TURP), holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP), or...
To define the role of laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (LU) as a primary modality for large proximal ureteral stones, we compared outcomes LU with those ureterorenoscopy (URS), currently established in this circumstance.Among 71 patients who underwent our institution between February 2005 and January 2010, 32 stone size over 1.5 cm without prior shockwave lithotripsy or URS whom was conducted separate procedure were exclusively enrolled. Based on preoperative characteristics patient group...
A robotic virtual reality simulator (dV-Trainer™, Mimic Technologies) has been accepted as an effective training tool for the da Vinci(®) Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) in previous reports. However, there are no data available so far on how much time is required individual using to become proficient. We investigated long and many performances it takes gain proficiency with through learning curve.The novice group included 20 medical students who had experience. The "Tube 2" task,...
To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of fesoterodine 4 8 mg once daily (QD) compared with placebo in Asian subjects overactive bladder (OAB) after 12 weeks treatment.This phase II, dose-finding study consisted a 2-week run-in period followed by 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, treatment period. Eligible were aged ≥20 years ≥8 micturitions per 24 h ≥1 urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes reported 3-day diary. The randomized to receive placebo, mg, or...
