Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in patients with premature ejaculation: a pilot study.

Purpose: The etiology of both adult-type ADHD and PE is not completely understood, but the studies revealing common etiologic factors for both conditions suggest a high likelihood of coexistence. We aimed to find out the prevalence of ADHD among adult males with lifetime PE.

Methods: The patients with lifetime PE were included in the study.

Cross-sectional analysis of penile length in males 13 to 15 years old according to pubertal development stages.

Purpose: Genital development is affected by pubertal process to a great extent, and puberty is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by multiple factors resulting in individual differences. We studied penile length and its relationship to pubertal stage in boys 13 to 15 years old.

Materials And Methods: Healthy boys who were candidates for military high school were evaluated between June and July 2011.

Effective penile block for circumcision in adults.

Background: The dorsal nerve block of the penis during circumcision has not been standardized and the effectiveness of the block can be changeable. The aim of this study was to determine which technique is more suitable for blocking sensory innervations of penis.

Methods: This prospective study was done on adults who voluntarily applied to be circumcised.

Immediate or delayed SWL in ureteric stones: a prospective and randomized study.

The objective is to compare immediate and delayed SWL as a treatment for ureter stones between 5 and 20 mm. Patients who applied to the emergency department with single, radio opaque ureteric stone of 5-20 mm size were included in the study. Patients were randomized into immediate and delayed SWL groups.

Evaluation of the impact of shock wave lithotripsy on kidneys using a new marker: how do neutrophil gelatinese-associated lypocalin values change after shock wave lithotripsy?

Objective: To determine possible acute kidney injury with new marker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in urine and to show the relationship between changes of this marker and conventional markers in patients undergoing shock wave lithotripsy (SWL).

Methods: In patients with kidney stones, serum urea, creatinine, urine microalbumin, and NGAL levels were determined before SWL and at the first, second, and seventh days after SWL. In addition, patients who had undergone SWL were evaluated with Technetium-99m (Tc99m)-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and Tc99m-diethylenetriaminepenta acetate renal scintigraphy 1 week before and 3 months after SWL.
