Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum inflammation markers derived from complete blood count in diagnosis prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data 621 patients who underwent biopsy between March 2013 and April 2018. Age, specific antigen (PSA), free PSA, platelet count, neutrophil lymphocyte monocyte volume (PV) pathology result were recorded. Patients grouped as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis PCa. also according to PSA values, < 4 ,...

Objectives.The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of a sample can be measured with ferric reducing power (FRAP) assay.There are commercially available kits for FRAP assays, however they more expensive than in-house kits.We aimed to evaluate direct measurement method under our laboratory conditions using microplate reader and establish reference values use in future research projects.Methods.An inhouse adaptation the was evaluated.Reference were established one hundred twenty subjects aged...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy Guy's Stone Score (GSS) and Clinical Research Endourological Society (CROES) Nomogram in predicting PCNL outcomes pediatric patients with kidney stone.A retrospective review clinical data 120 who underwent between August 2004 February 2016 performed. Patients were grouped according stone-free (SF) status complication status. whose history, preoperative physical examination records, biochemical analysis, imaging records available did not...

Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (NCECT) renal pelvis Hounsfield unit (HU) values in differentiating between hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis dilated urinary systems. Materials methods Patients who underwent percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) due to system obstruction last three years were retrospectively evaluated. Pyonephrosis groups differentiated according clarity needle aspiration. The patients’ pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter, area, mean...

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To compare the efficacy of middle calyx access (MCA) and lower (LCA) in treatment pole kidney stones. <b><i>Materials Methods:</i></b> The data patients with isolated stones who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy via MCA or LCA between 2009 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Pre-, peri-, postoperative parameters groups (LCA group group) compared. A value <i>p</i> < 0.05 was considered...

Participants with an questionnaire (OAB-q) score >11 (n = 34) included OAB group, while those <5 42) control group. Serum antioxidant capacity, ischemia-modified albumin, C-reactive protein, 25-hydroxy...

This study explored the use of thiol/disulphide homeostasis as a novel oxidative stress marker in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Fifty-five aged 40-57 were divided into two groups: Group I (International Index Erectile Function [IIEF-5] score between 22 and 25, n = 20) II (IIEF-5 < 22, 35). Blood samples used to evaluate hormone levels, lipid profile levels. A novel, fully automated method measured plasma native thiol, total thiol disulphide Mean age, body mass index, testosterone,...

Objective: In the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urology guide- lines recommend medical or surgical treatments according to different prostate volumes (PV). The aim this study was analyze relationships between PV and age, total free specific antigen (tPSA, fPSA) fPSA/tPSA ratio in patients without histologically proven cancer. Materials methods: A retrospective analysis made data 1334 who underwent transrectal ultra- sound (TRUS)-guided biopsy January 2016 October 2018....

Purpose: To examine the efficacy of ureteral jet flow measured by Doppler ultrasonography (USG) together with radiological parameters obtained noncontrast enhanced CT in predicting whether a stone is impacted. Materials and Methods: A total 178 patients that met criteria were included study. Stone size, location, grade hydronephrosis, HU values proximal distal parts stone, wall thickness (UWT) from abdominal images. Ureteral flows (Vmax) recorded USG. Thirty-eight cases whom guidewire or...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the minimum number required cases for successful robotic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy an experienced surgeon in transperitoneal surgery.Our prospectively collected clinic database evaluated retrospectively, and 50 patients who underwent by a single from January 2019 February 2023 were included study. Demographic perioperative data R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry scores noted. margin, ischemia, complication score used predict surgical success....

Objective: Currently, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy is the standard method used for cancer detection.In last decade, hospitalization due to complications has increased, especially infectious causes.Therefore, it important determine risk factors affecting of biopsy.Materials and Methods: One hundred sixty-four patients who underwent TRUS-guided suspicion were included in our study.Patients' ages, total free specific antigen (PSA) levels, volumes, digital rectal...

Objectives: To evaluate the risk factors for pain occurring during prostate biopsy. Methods: This study included 123 patients were applied with needle biopsy under transrectal ultrasonography.
