To examine differences in 24-hour urine composition between recurrent and first-time stone-formers. A retrospective review of patients evaluated in 2 metabolic stone clinics was performed. Recurrent stone formation was defined as patients with a history of more than 1 stone episode and first-time stone-formers were those with a history of a single-stone episode. Frequencies of urine metabolic abnormalities...
Pheochromocytoma and renal artery stenosis are two common causes of surgically correctable childhood hypertension that may coexist. We describe a case of extraadrenal pheochromocytoma with left upper polar renal artery pseudostenosis. The tumor was excised, preserving the accessory renal artery and kidney. The child was normotensive and did not require drugs postoperatively. Radiologic appearance...
To compare the clinical characteristics and reproductive outcomes of nonobstructive azoospermic men with uniform early and late maturation arrest. Patients with biopsy-documented uniform maturation arrest undergoing testicular sperm retrieval and complete medical records were enrolled in the present study. Their medical history, physical examination findings, testicular volume, serum hormone parameters,...
Stevens-Johnson syndrome frequently affects the genitalia. Vaginal problems have been recognized in female patients; however, reports about the problem and its treatment are rare. Labial sinechiae have not yet been reported as sequelae of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Amenorrhea, cyclical abdominal pain, and a hypogastric mass in girls affected by Stevens-Johnson syndrome could indicate acquired vaginal...
To assess rates of psychosocial difficulties in children seen in a pediatric urology clinic to determine whether all patients should be screened for psychosocial problems, and to use standardized measures to determine whether the severity of voiding dysfunction and/or enuresis in children is related to their degree of psychosocial difficulties. A retrospective chart review was conducted to collect...
To determine the rates of lymph nodes and lymph node metastases in periprostatic fat pads yielded during exposure of the anterior surface of the dorsal vein complex, puboprostatic ligaments, and endopelvic fascia during radical prostatectomy. Histopathologic examination was performed in 356 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between July 2010 and September 2010 at a single institution...
To accurately measure the correction obtained by the release of the skin and dartos fascia and that obtained by mobilization of the urethral plate and resection of the underlying fibrous tissue (according to Koyanagi and Mollard), in the release of chordee. From February 1996 to February 2011, 234 patients underwent surgery for proximal hypospadias by 1 surgeon. Lateral photographs were taken during...
To detect the possible alterations on density or sensitivity of α1-adrenergic subtypes in diabetic bladder by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction technology and in vitro studies. Experimental diabetes was induced by administration of streptozotocin with a single injection through the tail vein. Rats were divided into control and diabetic groups. Contractile responses of bladder strips...
To evaluate whether the response to on-demand vardenafil could be improved by its daily usage in hypertensive men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who previously did not answer to on-demand regime. Our main efficacy criterion was per patient percentage of positive answers on the Sexual Encounter Profile question 3 (SEP3). Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and nitrate-mediated...
To identify parameters that predict insignificant prostate cancer in 67 radical prostatectomies after biopsy reclassification to worse disease on active surveillance. Parameters evaluated at diagnosis and at biopsy reclassification included serum prostate-specific antigen, prostate-specific antigen density, number of positive cores, maximum percent involvement of cancer per core, and any interval...
To compare the clinical and patient-reported outcomes from standard prepuceplasty and foreskin Z-plasty. Consecutive standard prepuceplasty (n = 22) and Z-plasty (n = 12) procedures performed from September 2005 to December 2010 were analyzed. The patient and operative data were collated, together with the results of a patient questionnaire inquiring about the postoperative complications, postoperative...
