Objective To determine the correlation between metabolic syndrome and distribution of stone components in patients with urolithiasis. Methods Between J anuary 2007 D ecember 2010, renal or ureteral stones were collected from 712 (432 males, 280 females) who underwent surgical intervention at three hospitals S outh K orea. Metabolic was defined according to latest definition I nternational iabetes F ederation, using ethnicity‐ sex‐specific cut‐off values for central obesity. Patients assessed...
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and tumor features in patients with non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: Data from 251 who underwent transurethral resection (TUR) for NMIBC January 2000 June 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients divided into two groups: Group I, 159 (63%) did not have DM at time surgery; (ii) II, 92 (37%) had surgery. Recurrence‐ progression‐free survival assessed both groups....
Purpose: To investigate patients who had transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy to define the role of serum testosterone level in predicting cancer risk and its association with a high Gleason score.Materials Methods: A total 568 underwent were entered this study.We divided into two groups according (median level, 3.85 ng/ml): high-testosterone group (n=285) low-testosterone (n=283).Multivariate regression analysis was used effect age, volume, prostate-specific antigen...
Objective Patients with lower urinary tract symptoms ( LUTS ) have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease. We evaluated the correlation between and risk factors in men presenting benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH ). Methods retrospectively reviewed medical records 295 transurethral resection prostate for treatment . Risk disease included: hypertension, diabetes mellitus DM ), smoking, dyslipidemia. The severity measured by I nternational P rostatic S ymptom core IPSS volume, specific...
We investigated the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet (PLR) as markers mortality in patients with Fournier's gangrene.Records from 62 treated for gangrene between 2003 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Data collected regarding medical history, symptoms, physical examination findings, admission laboratory tests, extent body surface area involved (%). Gangrene Severity Index score, NLR, PLR calculated. The data assessed separately surviving deceased patients.Of...
This study aimed to report the results of Korean Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (KARMS) for uncomplicated cystitis (UC) in 2023. KARMS was established surveillance antimicrobial resistance urinary tract infections with cooperation nationwide medical centers. Data from patients UC have been collected web-based database. Demographic data, uropathogen distribution, and susceptibility representative pathogens were analyzed. A total 885 patients' data The mean patient age 56.39±18.26...
Purpose: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a life-threatening disease requiring immediate treatment. This multicenter retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze the mortality rate and risk factors associated with EPN.Materials Methods: Between January 2011 February 2021, 217 patients diagnosed EPN via computed tomography who visited 14 teaching hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data, including age, sex, comorbidities, Huang Tseng classification, hydronephrosis, acute...
Purpose: Systemic inflammatory responses, which are defined in terms of the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), have been reported to be independent predictors unfavorable outcomes various human cancers.We assessed utility GPS as a predictor intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC).Materials and Methods: We collected data for 147 UTUC patients with no previous history bladder cancer who underwent RNU from 2004 2012.Associations between...
To evaluate the surgical feasibility of laparoscopic adrenalectomy using lateral retroperitoneal approach for treatment large pheochromocytomas, and to identify preoperative risk factors intraoperative hypertension.We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent pheochromocytomas. Patient characteristics perioperative outcomes were analyzed compared between two study groups based on tumor size: group A (n = 27, ≤6 cm) B 24, ˃6 cm).There was no significant difference in except size (P...
The platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR) have been reported as prognostic factors in various cancers, but their roles metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) remain unclear. We investigated the significance of PLR NLR, along with that established factors, mRCC patients receiving first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).Data obtained from 63 who received TKI between 2007 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. association PLR, progression-free survival (PFS) overall...
Objectives To estimate the prevalence of fluoroquinolone‐resistant rectal flora in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound‐guided prostate needle biopsy and to identify high‐risk groups. Methods From January 2015 March 2016, swabs 557 men who underwent were obtained from five institutions. Clinical variables, including demographics, swab culture results infectious complications, evaluated. Univariable multivariable analyses used risk factors for fluoroquinolone resistance complications....
The purpose of the present study was to determine potential relationships glycemic control and use metformin with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer characteristics.We reviewed data from 645 patients between January 2004 May 2015.We analyzed association pre post-operative clinical characteristics tumors.We also recurrencefree progression-free survivals.Diabetes mellitus showed decreased recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 1.42; 95% confidence interval 1.1-1.9;P = 0.021) 1.79; 1.1-2.8;P...
The human body is sterile during gestation; however, but and after birth, the entire surface becomes host to an enormous variety of microorganisms. Urine in urinary tract was once considered based on lack cultured Many recent studies have revealed evidence microorganisms urine absence clinical infection. Sequencing methods analytical techniques are rapidly evolving improve ability detect bacterial DNA living bacteria understand microbiota tract. In women, fascinating associates with lower...
