The real-time PCR assay is the most sensitive test for screening and diagnosing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has made these easier clinicians. aim of this study was to investigate reliability, accuracy, usefulness multiplex detection seven microorganisms in clinical samples.A total 897 specimens from 365 symptomatic patients 532 asymptomatic volunteers were collected over a 10-month period. A 696 subjects provided 50ml first-voided urine as samples, 201 female endocervical swab...
Housing prices are determined by a variety of factors, including the features building and neighborhood environment, potential buyer decides to buy house after reviewing these factors concluding that it is worth price. We used Hedonic Price Methods find relationship between monetary value access conditions urban parks. Two meaningful results were discovered in this study: first, as distance from park increases, inherent housing price decreases; second, greater walking accessibility, park,...
As the applications for implantable medical devices have increased, need biocompatible packaging materials has become important. Recently, we reported an sensor real-time monitoring of changes in bladder volume, which necessitated finding a safe coating material use tissue. At present, like polyethylene glycol (PEG), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and parylene-C are used biomedical or as materials, owing to their excellent safety various fields. However, few studies assessed tissue, therefore,...
The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for abscess formation in acute bacterial prostatitis, and compare treatment outcomes between group non-abscess group.This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. All patients suspected having an prostatic infection underwent computed tomography or transrectal ultrasonography discriminate abscesses from prostatitis without formation.A total 31 prostate were reviewed among 142 with prostatitis. Univariate analysis revealed that...
This article provides evidence-based recommendations and expert opinions to aid urologists in making optimal decisions regarding managing urolithiasis various clinical scenarios. The most frequently asked questions by their practice have been collected answered the form of FAQs; based on latest evidence opinions. natural history is divided into active treatment silent phases, with stage typical special situations peri-treatment management. authors address 28 key questions, offering practical...
Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing microorganisms in urinary tract infection.Materials Methods: A total 2,312 patients older than 25 years diagnosed from January 2007 December 2009 as having infection were studied.The ESBL-producing including Escherichia coli antimicrobial susceptibility E. examined.Univariate analyses performed with gender, age, inpatient status, previous hospitalization, recent...
ObjectivesTo identify the age- and sex-specific antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) in outpatient febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) Korea.MethodsA total 2262 consecutive samples collected from patients aged 1–101 years with UTIs, during period January 2012 to December 2014, were analyzed this multicentre, retrospective cohort study.ResultsThe sensitivities cefotaxime cefoxitin over 85% for females but under 75% males. Sex played an important role GNB...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to (i) investigate the antimicrobial susceptibilities of bacteria that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) in outpatient and inpatient settings (ii) evaluate risk factors for emerging drug resistance UTIs South Korea. In total, 3,023 samples without duplication were collected from females between 25 65 years age who had been diagnosed with a infection. Multicenter patient data using Web-based electronic system then evaluated. The isolation rates Escherichia coli ,...
Abstract Background To identify the risk factors for severe bleeding requiring angioembolization among patients who received transfusions after PCNL, particularly those underwent anatomically incorrect renal puncture. Methods A total of 53 patients, PCNL and simultaneously had a postoperative CT scan performed between November 2009 May 2019 at two teaching hospitals, were retrospectively reviewed. The divided into groups: did not. Patient, stone procedural compared groups. Puncture...
Purpose: Our purpose was to conduct a screening test for urethritis or cervicitis as sexually transmitted disease (STD) by using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and determine the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, hominis, Trichomonas vaginalis in asymptomatic people.Materials Methods: From July 2010 December 2010, 709 persons who came hospital general checkup were tested.Multiplex PCR assays done with first...
We aimed to evaluate the effect of long-term oral OM-89 therapy on urinary microflora in patients with urolithiasis. Patients underwent surgical removal stones followed by no treatment for six months or daily administration. Urine culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed at baseline visit (V1) 2 (V2) 6 (V3) after operation. A total 113 completed study. The rate bacteria detection urine V3 did not differ between treated untreated groups (p>0.999); however, PCR tended be...
Purpose: To study the sexual behavior and status of sexually transmitted urethritis (STU) in elderly population South Korea.Materials Methods: Congregating places for population, which were selected on expected risk infections, visited to their behavior, awareness diseases (STDs), STU using a specially developed survey urine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.In addition, analysis Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) database was done nationwide trends population....
Advances in imaging technology the past decades have allowed profound insights into human brain function and anatomy for normal pathological conditions. Population-based probabilistic atlases (probabilistic map) structural functional of been developed using MRI, SPECT, cytoarchitectonic data provide a standard framework analysis. For example, automated delineation volume interest (VOI) maps individual structures predefined on templates provides an efficient way objective assessment image...
This study aimed to determine the role of asymptomatic bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg), hominis (Mh), and Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. In total, 264 outpatients aged between 21 80 years were prospectively enrolled this during routine gynecological screening tests. Specimens collected with a Cervex Brush routinely analyzed Hybrid Capture 2 assay for HPV. Simultaneously,...
There is conflict of evidence regarding whether absence hydronephrosis a risk factor for bleeding in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). Moreover, among the stone complexity scoring system used PNL (Guy's score, S.T.O.N.E. nephrometry and CROES nomogram), only score incorporates as factor. Therefore, this study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes according presence or (PCNL) patients investigate blood transfusion rate.281 who had undergone PCNL between December 2009 April 2017 were...
The chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide (TMZ) and the anti-angiogenic thalidomide (THD) have both demonstrated anti-tumor activity in patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Combination treatment TMZ THD glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) appears to be more effective than either drug alone. To investigate mechanism of this effect, we examined combined effects a rat glioma xenograft model. We found that combination markedly inhibited growth tumors were orthotopically implanted into brains. Using...
This study investigated the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Ureaplasma spp. Mycoplasma hominis isolated from asymptomatic individuals in Korea. Endocervical swabs women urine men, a total 5,781 individuals, were analyzed using IST2 Kit. Of 4,825 specimens tested females, 486 (10.1%) positive culture. In these specimens, 437 (9.1%) only for spp., 17 (0.4%) M. hominis, 32 (0.7%) both hominis. males, 956 4 (0.42%) no colonization was identified. antimicrobial susceptibility tests, more...
