Role of shear wave elastography (SWE) in erectile dysfunction patients for evaluation of daily tadalafil treatment outcome.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and anticipate the outcome of daily use of tadalafil in patients with erectile dysfunction using elastography. 183 volunteers and 183 patients with erectile dysfunction were included. Pretreatment SWE readings for our patients were calculated with a linear probe.

Comparative study between a new screwed Amplatz sheath and the ordinary one in percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Objective: The objective of the article is to compare the results of using new screwed Amplatz sheath with results of the conventional Amplatz sheath regarding success and complications during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Methods: 100 patients aged more than 18 years with renal calculi more than 2 cm with guy's score 1 from December 2018 till July 2020 were randomly stratified by closed envelope in group A (50 patients) with using conventional sheath and group B (50 patients) with new screwed sheath. We exclude morbid obese patients and patients with contraindication for PNL.

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Value can Predict Poor Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Responders in T1HG/NMIBC: Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Prediction of recurrence and progression and the choice of type of management are largely based on stage and grade; however, these prognostic features are limited in the prediction of clinical outcomes. The objective was to investigate the relation between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and recurrence and progression of T1G3 of urothelial carcinoma after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 65 patients with single bladder mass T1G3 less than 3 cm without carcinoma in situ or lymphovascular invasion.

Outcomes of Flank-Free Modified Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Based on BMI.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the flank-free modified supine position.

Patients And Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the urology department during the period from May 2015 to October 2019 on 464 patients admitted for PCNL. The patients were divided into 4 matched groups according to their BMI: group A, normal weight with 18.

The role of neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 9 in predicting bacillus Calmette-Guerin response in nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.

Objective: To report the sensitivity and specificity of neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 9 (NEDD9) protein high expression in predicting BCG response and its effect on recurrence or progression free survivals.

Patients And Methods: Between May 2014 and April 2017, a prospective cohort study was conducted on 105 patients with intermediate or high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Immunohistochemical staining with mouse monoclonal anti-NEDD9 antibody was done.

W-pouch With Modified Non-isolated Extra Limb for Continence in Cutaneous Diversion After Radical Cystectomy.

Objective: To report the functional results of continent cutaneous ileal urinary diversion using modified W-pouch with non-isolated extra limb for continence.

Patients And Methods: From January 2013 to January 2016, 21 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer with median (interquartile range) of 59 (56.5-62.
