Purpose: To compare several contemporary urodynamic criteria for diagnosing detrusor underactivity (DU) and estimate how well they coincide with each other.
Materials And Methods: From our prospective urodynamic database we identified nonneurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) patients older than 60 years between 2003 and 2014. Patients were reclassified based on four and three contemporary criteria for DU among men and women.
Purpose: We investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of visceral obesity in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: This study included 706 patients with localized renal cell carcinoma who had undergone curative surgery between January 2003 and April 2012. Visceral, subcutaneous and total adipose tissue were measured based on preoperative computerized tomography of the umbilical region.
Background: Aberrations in scapular motion are believed to be associated with the presence of shoulder or elbow pathologies. There are many methods to evaluate scapular kinematics, but they have certain limitations. Nevertheless, it is believed that appropriate rehabilitation for each type of scapular dyskinesis is important.

- This study investigates the role of a proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib) in improving recovery after ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat sciatic nerves.
- Bortezomib treatment resulted in faster recovery of motor functions, muscle contractile force, and reduced axonal degeneration compared to the control.
- The findings suggest that proteasome inhibition could be a potential clinical strategy for treating nerve injuries caused by ischemia/reperfusion.
