Introduction And Objective: The effects estrogen and testosterone have on penile wound healing are still uncertain. This study evaluated the effects of these hormones on the wound healing process of penile and non-penile skin in wild-type (Mus musculus species) 4-5-week-old mice.
Methodology: Seventy wild-type Mus musculus species were randomly assigned to four groups control (n = 17), 1-week post-operative topical estrogen (n = 18), 1-week pre-operative testosterone (n = 17), and immediate post-operative testosterone (n = 18).
Objective: To compare the postprocedural oral pain scale and other patient reported oral morbidities for nonclosure vs closure of buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvest sites through systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in September 2018. Nonrandomized comparative studies were summarized and randomized controlled trials were evaluated according to the Cochrane Collaboration recommendations.
Given that both orchidopexy and circumcision are commonly done in a single operative setting, we adopted a technique of combined orchidopexy and circumcision using a single circumcision incision. We applied this new technique to boys with palpable, low inguinal cryptorchidism. Here we describe a case series of 7 boys who underwent concurrent orchidopexy via the circumcision site.

Study Design: A systematic literature search was done using electronic medical databases and trial registries up to September 2016 with no language restrictions. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the efficacy and safety of lidocaine gel vs NAG in reducing TUBC-associated pain in children were screened, identified, and appraised.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of neurostimulation compared with control groups in the treatment of pediatric primary enuresis by performing meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A systematic literature search with no language restriction was performed in August 2016. RCTs were identified and evaluated according to the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment recommendations.
Background: Several studies have proposed the combination of desmopressin and anticholinergic as a treatment regimen to address the pathophysiology of polyuria and bladder dysfunction in pediatric enuresis. However, the available literature is inconsistent with regards to the immediate 1-month efficiency of the combination therapy in the treatment for pediatric enuresis.
Objective: The aim was to assess the immediate 1-month efficacy and safety of desmopressin and anticholinergic agent combination therapy versus desmopressin monotherapy in the treatment of pediatric enuresis using meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of premature ejaculation (PE) among adult Asian males presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and characterize its association with other clinical factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary medical center to determine the prevalence of PE among adult male participants with LUTS during the Annual National Prostate Health Awareness Day. Basic demographic data of the participants were collected.
