[A New Case of Fournier's Gangrene Caused by Actinotignum schaalii].

Actinotignum schaalii (formerly known as Actinobaculum schaalii) is an anaerobic or facultative anaerobic gram-positive bacillus that can be found commensally in the urogenital region. It can be overlooked because it grows slowly and is difficult to identify with classical microbiology laboratory techniques. Colonies become visible after 48-72 hours of incubation on blood agar in anaerobic or CO₂-rich media.

Comparison of Transrectal Ultrasonography-Guided Prostate Biopsies Analgesia's; Rectal Lidocaine Gel Versus Sandwich Anesthesia (Transurethral Plus Transrectal Lidocaine Gel Administration): A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled and Prospective Study.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the additive transurethral anesthetic agent to transrectal anesthetic agent.

Methods: Transrectal ultrasound-guided 12 core prostate biopsy planned, 237 patients included in our study. The patients randomly divided into two groups.

Female sexual dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: Sexual life of women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be affected by breathing difficulties, a decrease in functional status, depressive mood and fatigue.

Objetive: To evaluate the sexual dysfunction in female COPD patients and the possible explanatory mechanisms or correlations between these conditions.

Methods: The study included 70 female patients with COPD aged between 36-65 and 70 age-matched controls.

Foreign Body Implanted Into the Penis During Traffic Accident.

Although there are some reports describing foreign body implantation into the penis by intentional manipulation, no records about patients got aware of it many years after traffic accidents. A 29-year-old male patient had been severely injured in a traffic accident 13 years ago. Following a coma state for several months, he had no any symptom for a long time.

What Has Changed in the History of Fournier's Gangrene Treatment: The Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive infection that requires emergent intervention. Wound closure is an important treatment step after surgery, and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) can be preferred as an alternative method for wound closure. FG severity index (FGSI) scales that can be developed to evaluate the prognosis in FG.

Bladder stones in a herniated bladder: A rare case report and literature review.

Introduction: Bladder herniation (BH) into the inguinal canal is an extremely rare condition.

Case Presentation: In this case we presented who an eighty-year- old male patient applied to our clinic with right inguinal swelling. The testes performed were found to be compatible with inguinoscrotal bladder hernia and bladder stone in herniated bladder.

Histopathological effects of β-hCG and vitamin C on the detorsioned testicle in rats with unilateral testicular torsion.

Background: Testicular torsion is still an urgent surgical condition and without any treatment it can cause infertility. The main pathophysiology of testicular torsion ischaemic injury however; the main sequalae of detorsion is reperfusion injury. Furthermore; treatments to prevent ischemic reperfusion injury due to decreased blood flow are important to preserve testicular function.

Comparison of Tumor Enucleation and Standard Partial Nephrectomy According to Trifecta Outcomes: A Multicenter Study by the Turkish Academy of Urology, Uro-Oncology Working Group.

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the impact of the resection technique (tumor enucleation (TE) or standard partial nephrectomy (SPN)) on trifecta outcomes in patients having undergone partial nephrectomy (PN).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathologic parameters in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (pT1-2N0M0) who had undergone PN between January 2001-December 2018 at one of 15 different tertiary referral centers. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate independent predictors of trifecta failure, decreased postoperative renal functions (decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 10%), perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo > 1), and positive surgical margins.

Sexual intercourse before exercise has a detrimental effect on lower extremity muscle strength in men.

Introduction: The question of whether sexual intercourse can harm athletic performance is a long-debated topic since first sport competitions were invented. Therefore, due to the lack of solid evidence, we aimed to evaluate the effects of sexual intercourse on muscle training performance.

Materials And Methods: Physically and sexually active, 50 men (age=29.

Lower urinary tract dysfunction in pediatric patients after ureteroneocystostomy due to vesicoureteral reflux: Long-term follow-up.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate long-term lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in pediatric patients who underwent ureteroneocystostomy due to vesicoureteral reflux.

Methods: The present retrospective study was performed on 61 patients. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n = 26), did not have LUTD; Group 2 (n = 23), had LUTD; and Group 3 (n = 12), was not toilet trained preoperatively.

The rarest phenomenon of flexible ureterolithotripsy: Kidney stone in supernumerary type combination with a horseshoe kidney.

The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is common and supernumerary kidney is the rarest developmental anomaly of the urogenital system. The supernumerary kidney in a HSK conjunction is extremely rare, and prevalence of it is unknown. A review of literature, there have been a few case reports about the supernumerary and HSK combination, however, none of which also had a concomitant kidney stone and obstructive pathology.
