Objectives: Evaluation of the validity of the Quadruple-D score in the prediction of success in pediatric stone disease.
Materials And Methods: Of the 292 children treated with SWL between 2007 and 2023, a total of 158 children who had adequate follow-up data and evaluated with non-contrast computed tomography before SWL, were included in the study. Parameters were calculated for each of the stone volume (SV), skin-to-stone distance (SSD), stone density (SD) and stone location (SL) variables.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess oxidative DNA and lipid damage in patients with peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis by measuring levels of 8-OHdG and MDA, and the activities of protective enzymes SOD and GPx in their saliva.
- A total of 60 participants, divided into three groups (20 peri-implantitis, 20 peri-mucositis, and 20 healthy), underwent clinical evaluations and saliva sample analyses to gauge their oral health conditions.
- Results showed that the peri-implantitis group had significantly higher levels of 8-OHdG and MDA, as well as worse clinical scores, indicating greater oxidative stress and tissue damage compared to the other groups.
Purpose: Residual fragments not removed with urinary stone surgery may become symptomatic. In this context, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of performing retrograde intrarenal surgery, which is conventionally performed in the lithotomy position, in the modified lithotomy position (Trend-side) on stone-free rates following the surgery.
Methods: This prospective study consisted of 100 patients with a single kidney stone smaller than 2 cm between 2021 and 2023.
Purpose: To compare 90-day perioperative complications and pathological outcomes between laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and extraperitoneal radical cystectomy (EORC) approaches.
Materials And Methods: All operations were performed in a single high-volume tertiary referee center by the same surgical team.Males ≥ 18 years with pre-cystectomy clinical T1-T3 disease and having undergone an ileal conduit were included.
Objectives: To evaluate whether PSA fluctuation can be used to predict the risk of prostate cancer.
Materials And Methods: The study included 1244 patients who underwent prostate biopsy at Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital between 2013 and 2021 (848 in non-cancer; 396 in cancer).
