Risk factors analysis for occurrence of asymptomatic bacteriuria after endourological procedures.

Introduction: Endourological procedures are performed according to the principles of aseptic techniques, jet still in certain number of patients urinary tract infections may occur. Considering the risk of urinary tract infection, there is no unique opinion about the prophylactic use of antibiotics in endourological procedures.

Goal: The objective of this study was to determine the connection between endourological procedures and occurrence of urinary infections and to analyze the risk factors of urinary infection for patients who were hospitalized at the Urology Clinic of the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo CCUS.

The toxic effect on leukocyte lineage of antimicrobial therapy in urinary and respiratory infections.

Introduction: Antimicrobials are widely used in infectious diseases. Only the timely intervention will contribute to the positive outcome of the disease. Unjustified use of antimicrobial prophylaxis may have adverse effects, i.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Values as Predictor of Renal Insufficiency in Advanced Stages of Liver Diseases with Different Etiology.

Background: Various complications occur in patients with advanced stages of liver diseases. Renal dysfunction, a parameter included in the MELD score, is the most important prognostic factor. There is a strong need in clinical practice to estimate the GFR in this patients.

The connection between endourological procedures and occurrence of urinary infections.

Introduction: Endoscopic surgery and endourological procedures imply the use of special instruments that are introduced into the urinary system through the urethra and percutaneous techniques that allow ante grade access to the urinary tract. The risk of urinary tract infection after endourological procedures and the use of antibiotic prophylaxis for these procedures is a question about which there is no unique opinion.

Goal: The objective of this study was to determine the connection between endourological procedures and occurrence of urinary infections and to analyze the risk factors of urinary infection for patients who were hospitalized at the Urology Clinic of the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo (CCUS).

Background: Various complications occur in patients with advanced stages of liver diseases. Renal dysfunction, a parameter included in the MELD score, is the most important prognostic factor. There is a strong need in clinical practice to estimate the GFR in this patients.

Analysis of effect of antiviral therapy on regression of liver fibrosis in patient with HCV infection.

Background: HCV infection is characterized by a tendency towards chronicity. Acute HCV infection progresses to chronic infection in 70% of cases. Hepatitis C virus infection can cause progressive liver injury and lead to fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis.

The frequence of renal cell carcinoma in population of patients with kidney tumors.

Introduction: A kidney tumor is an abnormal growth within the kidney that usually occurs over a period of a time. Each tumor has its own characteristics and it is important to know what tumor the patient has so that the proper treatment can be administered. Kidney tumors can be benign or malignant.

Effects of treatment with L-thyroxin on glucose regulation in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.

Aims: We examined effects of treatment with 1-thyroxin on glucose regulation in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.

Methods: The study included 100 patients, ages 51.75 +/- 13.

The correlation between type of anesthesia and the hormones levels during and after transvesical prostatectomy.

Introduction: Surgical intervention and anesthesia procedure lead to a series of hormonal changes in the organism, which is mainly attributed to catecholamine response to stress. Surgical intervention is resulting in significant changes in neuroendocrine regulation, metabolism and physiological functions, as part of the overall response to stress.

Research Aim: The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate the levels of hormones in patients undergoing transvesical prostatectomy under general or local anesthesia.

Factors affecting erectile function after radical prostatectomy.

Introduction: Radical retropubic prostatectomy is a therapeutic option for treatment of localized prostate cancer. The goal of radical prostatectomy is to completely remove the tumor while preserving erectile function and urinary continence as well as factors that determine the postoperative quality of life. There are many factors influencing sexual function after radical prostatectomy of localized prostate cancer.

Application of ultrasound in medicine.

Ultrasound device, essentially, consists of a transducer, transmitter pulse generator, compensating amplifiers, the control unit for focusing, digital processors and systems for display. It is used in cases of: abdominal, cardiac, maternity, gynecological, urological and cerebrovascular examination, breast examination, and small pieces of tissue as well as in pediatric and operational review.

Incidence of testicular carcinoma, therapy and quality assesment.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate incidence, symptoms and therapy management of testicular cancer patients. Also we had evaluated significance of testicular tumor markers.

Patients And Methods: The study was retrospective, clinical and manipulative, analytical and descriptive and covers the period from 01.

Risk factors for erectile dysfunction in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus.

Goal: To evaluate risk factors of erective dysfunction (ED) and find out incidence in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus.

Material And Methods: All patients from Centre for Diabetes with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 are involved in study. We have done interview using questionnaire-International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-5.

Erectile dysfunction as a complication after treatment of prostate cancer.

Introduction: Treatment of localized prostate cancer refers to two basic modes which are the radical retro pubic prostatectomy and external radiotherapy. However, according to most authors, radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for long-term survival.

Objective: To determine the occurrence of erectile dysfunction after radical operative treatment and irradiation therapy.

Evaluation of therapeutic response of patients with erectile dysfunction.

Background: All three phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors for the treatment of the erectile dysfunction have similar efficacy and toxicity profiles. Sildenafil and vardenafil have similar molecular structures, but tadalafil is structurally different, which is reflected in its pharmacokinetic profile. These pharmacokinetic differences among the PDE5 inhibitors may underlie patient preference, an important and emerging aspect of ED therapy.

[Treatment of complicated urolithiasis, staged solution].

[Comparative efficiency study, safety and usage of tested drugs in patients with renal colic].

Unlabelled: Renal colic represents the the collection of the acute symptoms which are characterized by very intensive and antagonizing pain, so, that withstanding, it calls for fast diagnosis and precise and speedy treatment. Intervention in renal colic cases has to be based on the knowledge on the origin of pain, renal damage suffered, and also has to protect the kidney from any damaged caused by the prolonged obstruction.

Material And Methods: This paper presents the results from prospective, analitical, comparative, ITT (intention to treat) study that has been carried out 200 ambulatory treated seperate patients with renal colic, divided into four groups, in the time period from year 2003 to 2005.
