A Comparative Study on the Clinical Outcomes of Bipolar Radiofrequency Thermotherapy Versus Transurethral Resection of the Prostate in Storage Symptoms Associated With Benign Prostatic Obstruction.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the results of radiofrequency (RF) thermotherapy and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients who required benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) surgery and had storage symptoms.

Methods: The results of patients who had undergone TURP and RF thermotherapy procedures between December 2019 and 2022 were compared before and after the procedure. Patients' International Prostate Symptom Scores, maximum flow rate (Qmax), postvoiding residues, and overactive bladder validated 8 scores (OAB-V8) at 3 and 6 months were analyzed.

Automatic estimation of brain parenchymal fraction in patients with multple sclerosis: a comparison between synthetic MRI and an established automated brain segmentation software based on FSL.

Purpose: We aimed to validate the estimation of the brain parenchymal fraction (BPF) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) by comparison with software tools of the FMRIB Software Library (FSL). In addition to a cross-sectional method comparison, longitudinal volume changes were assessed to further elucidate the suitability of SyMRI for quantification of disease-specific changes.

Methods: MRI data from 216 patients with MS and 28 control participants were included for volume estimation by SyMRI and FSL-SIENAX.

Comparison of Serum Gamma Glutamyl Transferase Levels between Prostate Cancer Patients and Their Healthy Peers.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer affecting men, apart from cutaneous cancers. Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are frequently used to predict prostate cancer diagnosis. However, many causes (e.

Correlation between erectile dysfunction and serum B12 levels: a 136-case cross-sectional analysis.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) involves the inability to initiate or sustain penile erection with sufficient hardness to ensure satisfying sexual relations. Many causes are blamed in the etiology.

Objectives: In this study, the correlation between serum vitamin B12 (vit B12) levels with ED was researched in a homogeneous case group after exclusion of all other predisposing conditions causing ED.

Prevalence, comorbidities and mediators of childhood anxiety disorders in urban Turkey: a national representative epidemiological study.
