A systematic review and meta-analysis of surgical approaches in pelvic fracture-associated urethral injury in children: Primary endoscopic realignment versus delayed urethroplasty.

Background: The management of pediatric patients afflicted with pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) remains a topic of ongoing debate and controversy within the realm of urology. There is persistent discourse concerning the optimal timing for intervention, specifically between immediate primary realignment (PR) and delayed urethroplasty via suprapubic cystostomy (SCDU). This study was undertaken with the objective of conducting a systematic review of the existing body of evidence, with a focus on comparing the outcomes associated with PR and SCDU as interventions for PFUI among pediatric population.

Role of SFGSI, microbial culture and qSOFA as predictive factors in determining the survival rate in Fournier Gangrene patient.

Objectives: To examine the simplified Fournier Gangrene Severe Index Score (SFGSI) and the number of species in culture findings for predicting death in Fournier Gangrene (FG) patients in terms of their predictive power.

Methods: From January 2017 to July 2022, the medical records of individuals undergoing emergency surgery for FG were obtained. A total of 80 patients were examined for clinical data such as age, gender, laboratory parameters, etiology, isolated bacteria, and mortality rate.

Role of Noncontrast Computed Tomography Parameters in Predicting the Outcome of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Upper Urinary Stones Cases: A Meta-analysis.

Rationale: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is widely considered the primary approach for managing urinary tract stones. This study aimed to assess the predictive factors associated with non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based parameters of upper urinary stones in relation to the outcomes of ESWL.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify all relevant studies published up to June 3, 2023.

Systemic Inflammatory Response in Predicting Prostate Cancer: The Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio.

Background: Over the past decades, the study of the microenvironment of cancer has supported the hypothesis between inflammation and cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated a promising value of platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a systemic inflammatory response in prostate cancer.

Aim: To evaluate their pre-biopsy values of PLR and NLR in predicting prostate cancer.

Diagnostic Value of Platelet-To-Lymphocyte Ratio in Prostate Cancer.

Background: Previous studies demonstrated the promising value of platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) in prostate cancer.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate its pre-biopsy values in predicting prostate cancer.

Methods: We included all benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) patients who underwent a prostate biopsy in Adam Malik Hospital between August 11th 2011 and August 31st 2015.
