Can recording only the day-time voided volumes predict bladder capacity?

Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate a method to easily assess bladder capacity using knowledge of day-time voided volumes, which can be obtained even from patients with nocturnal enuresis where the first morning void cannot accurately predict the bladder capacity due to bladder emptying overnight.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated 177 healthy children from 7 Korean medical centres entered the study between January 2008 and January 2009. Voided volumes measured for more than 48 hours were recorded in the frequency volume chart (FVC).

Comparison of penile length at 6-24 months between children with unilateral cryptorchidism and a healthy normal cohort.

Purpose: Urologic diseases affected by testosterone can be associated with smaller penis size compared to the normal population. We sought to compare penile length in children with unilateral cryptorchidism and normative data from a cohort of healthy Korean boys.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed in 259 Korean boys (212, normal cohort; 47, cryptorchidism) aged 6-24 months, each of whom had been brought to an outpatient clinic at one of five tertiary hospitals (Gyeongsangnam-do Province) between April 2014 and June 2015.

We compared changes in nocturia and sleep-related parameters between daytime and nighttime solifenacin dosing in patents with overactive bladder (OAB) and nocturia. We comparatively analyzed the data of a 12-week prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized study. All 127 patients who presented to 5 centers in Korea for the treatment of OAB with nocturia between January 2011 and December 2013 were enrolled in this study.

The Change of Stretched Penile Length and Anthropometric Data in Korean Children Aged 0-14 Years: Comparative Study of Last 25 Years.

There has been a great improvement in height and weight of Korean children owing to economic development over the last 25 years. This study aimed to evaluate the penile length of Korean children today and to compare it with a previous Korean study reported in 1987. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 909 Korean boys aged 0-14 years who had been brought to outpatient clinics of five tertiary hospitals (Busan, Ulsan, and Changwon) between September 2013 and May 2015.

[This corrects the article on p. 1550 in vol. 29, PMID: 25408588.

Efficacy and tolerability of anticholinergics in Korean children with overactive bladder: a multicenter retrospective study.

We investigated the efficacy and tolerability of various anticholinergics in Korean children with non-neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB). A total of 326 children (males:females= 157:169) aged under 18 yr (mean age 7.3±2.

Effect of rectal enema on intrafraction prostate movement during image-guided radiotherapy.

Introduction: Rectal volume and movement are major factors that influence prostate location. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a rectal enema on intrafraction prostate motion.

Methods: The data from 12 patients with localised prostate cancer were analysed.

Effects of prostatic inflammation on LUTS and alpha blocker treatment outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between prostatic inflammation and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and to identify the effects of prostatic inflammation on the treatment with an alpha blocker.

Materials And Methods: 111 Participants who were aged ≥ 50 years, the presence of LUTS (maximal flow rate < 20 m/s, IPSS ≥ 11), and an elevated PSA level (3-20 ng/mL) were treated with tamsulosin 0.2mg once daily for 3 months after prostate biopsies.

Interfraction prostate movement in bone alignment after rectal enema for radiotherapy.

Purpose: To assess the effect of a rectal enema on interfraction prostate movement in bone alignment (BA) for prostate radiotherapy (RT), we analyzed the spatial difference in prostates in a bone-matched setup.

Materials And Methods: We performed BA retrospectively with data from prostate cancer patients who underwent image-guided RT (IGRT). The prostate was identified with implanted fiducial markers.

Efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in pediatric and adolescent urolithiasis.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) by age and current condition as a first-line treatment for pediatric and adolescent urolithiasis.

Materials And Methods: The computerized records of 55 children were retrospectively reviewed from March 1991 to July 2007. The children were below 18 years of age and had undergone ESWL monotherapy for urolithiasis.

Safety of en bloc ligation of the renal hilum during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma: a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To evaluate the safety of en bloc stapler ligation of the renal vascular pedicle during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.

Subjects And Methods: Clinical data were collected prospectively from 70 patients who underwent either en bloc stapling of the renal hilum (n=35) (Group A) or the separate ligation method (n=35) (Group B) to treat renal cell carcinoma. To evaluate the incidence of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), blood pressure and heart rate were measured, and abdominal auscultation was performed at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-surgery.
