Comparison of External Ureteral Catheter and Double-J stent as Drainage Methods for Tubeless Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The external ureteral catheter (EUC) and double-J stent (DJ-stent) are frequently used for drainage in tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study aims to compare the outcomes and effectiveness of these two methods.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a detailed literature search using relevant key words on Google Scholar, Europe PMC, Medline, and Scopus databases.

Albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) as independent predictor of poor survival in renal cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The concentration of albumin and globulin in the body can serve as indicators of both nutritional status and inflammation. The predictive significance of the albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) has been documented in multiple cancer types. Consequently, a meta-analysis was conducted in order to investigate the prognostic impact of AGR on survival outcomes among individuals diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma intracavernous injection for patients with erectile dysfunction: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.

Objective: Intracavernous injection might be offered to patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) who did not respond to the first-line oral treatment. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) might offer improvement in erectile function since it contains numerous growth factors. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PRP intracavernous injection for patients with ED.

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) as Independent Predictor of Poor Survival in Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The concentration of albumin and lymphocyte in the body can serve as indicators of both nutritional status and inflammation. The predictive significance of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been documented in multiple cancer types. Consequently, a meta-analysis was conducted in order to investigate the prognostic impact of PNI on survival outcomes among individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Vitamin D supplementation for improving sperm parameters in infertile men: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Objective: Vitamin D has been hypothesized to have a potential role in altering sperm motility and metabolism. However, experimental studies have demonstrated inconsistent results between vitamin D and sperm parameters. This study aims to investigate the role of vitamin D supplementation to improve sperm parameters in infertile men.

A rare intraperitoneal inguinal bladder hernia (IBH) in a 58-year-old Indonesian male: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Inguinal bladder hernia (IBH) accounts for <5 % of inguinal hernias. As to our knowledge, this is the first case report of a rare intraperitoneal IBH in Indonesia.

Case Report: Here we present a case report of a 58-year-old Indonesian male complaining of a groin mass on the right side since 1 year ago, accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), two-stage micturition, lower abdominal discomfort and pain during urinating and coughing.

Indonesian prostate cancer risk calculator (IPCRC): an application for predicting prostate cancer risk (a multicenter study).

Aim: to develop a prediction risk model of prostate cancer based on Indonesia population.

Methods: we included all benign prostate hyperthrophy (BPH) and PCa patients who had prostate biopsy and prostatectomy between January 2009 and December 2013 from 5 urology centers in Indonesia. The relationship between the possibility of PCa with the following variables including: age; PSA level, prostate volume (by transabdominal ultrasound or transrectal ultrasound) and digital rectal examination (DRE) finding.
