The prognostic value of routine second transurethral resection in patients with newly diagnosed stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: results from randomized 10-year extension trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of routine second TUR on the long-term outcome of patients with newly diagnosed stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 210 patients (mean age 62.1 years, 89.5% were males) with stage pT1 NMIBC who underwent first TUR were prospectively randomized into two groups including second TUR (n = 105) and no second TUR (n = 105) groups.

The postoperatıve effects of use of trimetazidine before the coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Background: In this study, postoperative cardiac functions were observed in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery following preoperative administration of the anti-ischemic drug trimetazidine.

Materials And Methods: The study included a total of 50 CABG patients; 25 were administered with trimetazidine preoperatively and 25 did not receive trimetazidine. A retrospective evaluation was made of the parameters of age, gender, preoperative echocardiography (ECHO) results, cross-clamping durations, postoperative inotropic requirements, and postoperative 4-h troponin-I levels and the groups were compared.

Feasibility of a 6-Month Yoga Program to Improve the Physical and Psychosocial Status of Persons with Multiple Sclerosis and their Family Members.

Context: To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study on yoga that includes both persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their family members. Because yoga has therapeutic effects in both persons with MS and healthy persons, we hypothesized that it would be an effective method to improve not only the physical and psychosocial status but also the time persons with MS and their family members spend together.

Objective: To examine the feasibility of a 6-month (long-term) yoga program to improve the physical and psychosocial status of persons with MS and their family members.

Evaluation of anabolic steroid induced renal damage with sonography in bodybuilders.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of anabolic steroids on kidneys in bodybuilders.

Methods: Twenty-two bodybuilders were included in the study. Participants were divided into three groups according to the scheme of steroid usage: group 1 (N.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by iodixanol (Visipaque): a serious reaction to a commonly used drug.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is an acute sterile pustular eruption most commonly induced by medications. Although antibiotics are the most commonly accused drugs in AGEP, non-antibiotic agents may also cause this disease. We present a case of AGEP following use of iodixanol for coronary angiography in a 61-year-old woman.
