Differences in Pain Characteristics and Functional Associations between Nursing Home Residents and Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Pain is one of the most critical issues in older adults, and the place of residence may play an important role in pain characteristics and related factors. However, it is an understudied subject. This study investigated differences in pain characteristics and functional associations between nursing home residents and community-dwelling older adults.

Demonstration of advanced glycation end product (AGE) expression in bladder cancer tissue in type-2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients and the relationship between AGE accumulation and endoplasmic reticulum stress with bladder cancer.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between advanced glycation end product (AGE) expression and accumulation in transurethral resection (TUR-B) material taken from type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-DM bladder cancer patients and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) with bladder cancer.

Method: The patients who had TUR-B between May 2016 and September 2018 were included in the study. After the tissue samples had been taken and frozen at -80°C, they were homogenised to be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) experiments.

The effect of risk factors on surgical and oncological results in high-risk prostate cancer: A multicentre study of the urooncology society, Turkey.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of risk factors and selected surgical methods on operative and oncological results of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) with high-risk prostate cancer (HRPC).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RP for HRPC from 13 urology centres between 1990 and 2019 was performed. Groups were created according to the risk factors of D'Amico classification.

Use of the prostate health index in the detection of prostate cancer at all PSA levels (use of prostate health index in prostate cancer).

Objectives: To determine the efficiency of prostate health index (PHI) calculated simultaneously during an ultrasound-guided fine-needle prostate biopsy in prostate cancer diagnosis.

Methods: The present study included 258 subsequent patients who underwent a TRUS-guided biopsy in our clinic between August 2015 and March 2016 due to elevated blood levels of PSA and suspicion of prostate cancer. The total PSA, free PSA and pro-PSA were analysed in all patients before the procedure.

Vena cava defect repair using a polytetrafluoroethylene graft after a radical nephrectomy and vena cava resection: A case report.

Introduction: The gold standard treatment for large renal masses is a radical nephrectomy and the removal of tumor thrombi from the large vessels. Here, we discussed the repair of a vena cava defect using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft after a radical nephrectomy and vena cava resection.

Case: A 69-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with right-sided pain and 10 kg of weight loss over the previous 3 months.
