Evaluating the Reliability and Model Fit of the 13-Item and 10-Item Big Five Inventory (Malay Version) among Malaysian Firefighters.

Background: Lengthy instruments for assessing personality traits may not be applicable in certain research settings. In situations where time is scarce, a briefer measurement is preferable. However, the reliability of a briefer measurement of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) among firefighters in Malaysia has not been reported.

Factors associated to hemoglobin decrease after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective study.

Objective: This study aims to determine the preoperative and perioperative risk parameters associated with a decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

Methods: We collected prospective data of consecutive patients who underwent PCNL from January 2018 to December 2022. The median decrease in post-operative hemoglobin levels compared to pre-operative was found to be 1.

Leveraging wastewater surveillance for managing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and concerned pathogens during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been proven effective for the monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks during mass gathering events and for timely public health interventions. As part of Qatar's efforts to monitor and combat the spread of infectious diseases during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ (FWC'22), wastewater surveillance was used to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2, human enterovirus, and poliovirus. The screening covered five major wastewater treatment plants servicing the event locations between October 2022 and January 2023.

What is the most dangerous sexual position that caused the penile fracture? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Penile fracture (PF) affects 1,14 to 10,48 men in every 100.000 men in East Asia, and the primary aetiology is sexual intercourse, but the knowledge regarding the most dangerous sexual position is not well explained. This study compares three sexual positions: man on top position (MTP), woman on top position (WTP), and doggy style position (DSP), leading to PF potential.

Giant stone in a urinary bladder diverticulum in a 69-year-old male: a case report.

The stone formation could occur due to urine stasis in the bladder diverticulum. However, the stones are usually smaller in size and can pass spontaneously. However, a giant stone inside vesical diverticulum is considered a rare entity.

A randomized controlled trial study on effectiveness between tadalafil versus combination mirabegron and solifenacin on treatment of ureteral stent-related symptoms.

Introduction: ureteral stents have common complications like ureteral stent-related symptoms (SRSs). This study investigated the effectiveness of tadalafil compared to mirabegron and solifenacin combination therapy in patients with ureteral SRSs after double-J (DJ) stent insertion.

Methods: this double-blind, randomized clinical trial used consecutive random sampling in participants with SRSs after double-J stent insertion.

Intrauterine device (IUD) migration into the bladder with stone formation: A case report.

Intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most effective and standard contraception methods worldwide, including in Indonesia. A 54-year-old woman with frequent urination, pain in urination, and intermittency. History of using IUD 19 years ago.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy for management neglected encrusted ureteral stent in a transplanted kidney: a case report.

Retrieving these forgotten encrusted double j (DJ) stents could be challenging and require multimodal urological interventions, especially in a single-functioning transplanted kidney. Only a few cases of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) via ultrasonography (US) guidance in transplanted kidneys have been published. We report a 47-year-old man; a case of a transplanted kidney, with a complaint of abdominal pain and dysuria for two weeks.

A giant intra-abdominal right testicular seminoma in a bilateral undescended testicle: a case report.

Cryptorchidism is the most common congenital malformation of the male genitourinary tract. An undescended testicle has a 10% chance of developing cancer, with an intra-abdominal testicle having the highest risk. We present a 24-year-old man with a history of bilateral cryptorchidism, complaining of lower abdominal mass for two months.

Ureteral avulsion caused by through and through penetrating injury of the pelvis.

Ureteral avulsion is one of the rare cases in urology considering that this structure is well-protected in retroperitoneal location. However, the presence of penetrating pelvis injury should raise high clinical suspicion that ureteral avulsion may present in this case. We report the case of ureteral avulsion in patients caused by through and through penetrating injury of the pelvis.

Malignant renal hemangiopericytoma: a case report.

Malignant hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is an uncommon disease first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. Patients with suspected renal HPC on admission sometimes complain of low back pain, hematuria, or hypertension. A combination of histochemical and anatomo-pathologic examinations is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of renal HPC.

Priapism due to chronic myelocytic leukemia.

Priapism is defined as a whole or partial penile erection that persists for more than 4 hours without stimulation. Hematologic disorders are a significant risk factor for ischemic priapism. Here, we report a case of priapism due to chronic myelocytic leukemia.

Neglected double-J stent with giant bladder stone: a case report.

Double-J (DJ) stents have been widely utilized in urological practice. They are commonly used to relieve ureteral obstruction. Serious complications may occur when stents are left in place for long periods of time.

Does albuminuria correlate with silent myocardial ischemia and delayed heart rate recovery in hypertensive men without diabetes mellitus.

Background: In diabetes patients, albuminuria has been proven to be an independent predictor for SMI and delayed heart rate recovery (HRR). However, in hypertensive patients without diabetes the correlation is still unclear.

Aim: To determine the correlation between albuminuria to SMI and delayed HRR in hypertensive patients without diabetes.

Note-, phrase- and song-specific acoustic variables contributing to the individuality of male duet song in the Bornean southern gibbon (Hylobates albibarbis).

In this study, we examine acoustic individuality in male duet songs of wild, non-habituated Bornean southern gibbons (Hylobates albibarbis) and identify contributing acoustic variables. We recorded 174 male duet songs from nine groups in a rainforest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Each male portion of the duet was analysed for 14 acoustic variables at three levels of variation, including six note-specific variables (start frequency, end frequency, minimum frequency, maximum frequency, average frequency and duration), four phrase-specific variables (minimum frequency, maximum frequency, duration and number of syllables) and four song-specific variables (minimum frequency, maximum frequency, duration and number of syllables).
