Artificial Intelligence-Based Clinical Decision-Making in Erectile Dysfunction: a Narrative Review.

Purpose Of Review: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great potential in erectile dysfunction (ED) diagnosis and treatment. This review aims to summarize AI-based clinical decision-making in ED.

Recent Findings: Based on the literature search, forty-seven articles related to AI and ED were analyzed and their findings were summarized.

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a 29-week pregnancy with a history of endometriosis: A case report and review of the literature.

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHIP) is defined as sudden, nontraumatic intraperitoneal bleeding that occurs during pregnancy or up to 42 days postpartum. The incidence ranges between 4 and 4.9 per 100 000 births.

Cribriform Plate Foramina Count in Patients With Acquired and Congenital Anosmia.

Background: Cribriform foramina provide the openings for olfactory nerve fibers to cross from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb. Disruption of the olfactory nerve fibers is known to affect olfactory function, but little is known about the potential effects on the number of cribriform foramina in congenital anosmia.

Objective: This pilot study aimed to investigate whether there was a reduction in foramina in patients with acquired and congenital anosmia (including both Kallmann syndrome and isolated congenital anosmia) compared to controls with normal olfactory function.

Functional outcomes of organ sparing surgery for penile cancer confined to glans and premalignant lesions.

The first-line treatment of penile cancer confined to the glans (Tis-T2) is based on organ-sparing approaches. Our aim is to report functional outcomes of total glans resurfacing (TGR), wide local excision (WLE) and glansectomy. A retrospective analysis was conducted from January 2013 to October 2022.

Hard-Flaccid syndrome: a survey of sexual medicine practitioners' knowledge and experience.

Hard-flaccid syndrome (HFS) is a poorly understood condition of male sexual dysfunction (MSD) that has more recently become a new topic of discussion in online forums and sexual medicine conferences. There has been limited research looking into HFS and consequently there are no evidence-based guidelines for its work-up and management. In order to identify the current level of understanding of HFS in the sexual medicine community, a survey was distributed at a national urologic conference focusing on pertinent management strategies employed by practitioners, and their own thoughts on HFS.

Long-Term Outcomes of Enucleation and Secondary Orbital Implantation Surgeries Using Polyester Mesh-Wrapped Acrylic Orbital Implants.

Objective: To reveal the long-term outcomes of enucleation and secondary orbital implantation surgeries employing nonabsorbable surgical mesh-wrapped acrylic orbital implants for various reasons.

Methods: A retrospective interventional study of 48 eyes that underwent primary or late primary enucleation and secondary orbital implantation using polyester mesh-wrapped acrylic orbital implants, between 2012 and 2021. Patient demographics, diagnosis, prior ophthalmic surgery, implant size, follow-up periods, and implant-associated complications were evaluated.

Publication Trends on Infective Endocarditis: Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization Between 1892 and 2022.

Background: In recent years, studies reported that the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) has increased despite the decrease in rheumatic heart diseases, great advances in medical and surgical treatment methods, and prophylactic antibiotic therapies. However, there is no bibliometric analysis based on the visual mapping method in the literature. In the study, we aimed to analyze the hot topics in IE, the distribution of publications in terms of country, institution, journal, author, and their relationships by assessing IE articles published in the 130 years between 1892 and 2022.

International clinical assessment of smell: An international, cross-sectional survey of current practice in the assessment of olfaction.

Objectives: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is common and carries significant personal and societal burden. Accurate assessment is necessary for good clinical and research practice but is highly dependent on the assessment technique used. Current practice with regards to UK/international clinical assessment is unknown.

Posterior pericardial window: a simple and reproducible technique in order to prevent pericardial tamponade in paediatric cardiac surgery.

Objective: Pericardial tamponade, which increases postoperative mortality and morbidity, is still not uncommon after paediatric cardiac surgery. We considered that posterior pericardiotomy may be a useful and safe technique in order to reduce the incidence of early and late pericardial tamponade. Herein, we present our experience with creation of posterior pericardial window following congenital cardiac surgical procedures.

Patient compliance for metabolic evaluation and medical treatment (CoMET) in calcium-oxalate stone patients: prospective study by EULIS eCORE study group.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to identify the compliance rates of calcium-oxalate stone patients for metabolic evaluation, diet and medical treatment and also determine the factors that are associated with poor compliance rates.

Methods: This study was conducted by the EULIS eCORE working group prospectively. In the initial visit, demographic and stone-related characteristics were recorded.

European Association of Urology Guidelines on Penile Size Abnormalities and Dysmorphophobia: Summary of the 2023 Guidelines.

Context: Recommendations regarding the management of penile size abnormalities and dysmorphophobia are important in guiding evidence-based clinical practice.

Objective: To present a summary of the 2023 European Association of Urology sexual and reproductive health evidence-based recommendations for the management of penile size abnormalities and dysmorphophobia.

Evidence Acquisition: A broad and comprehensive scoping exercise covering all areas of the guidelines was performed.

Effect of constipation on acute urinary retention following transrectal prostate biopsy.

Purpose: To evaluate the possible effect of constipation on the acute urinary retention (AUR) after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS PB).

Materials And Methods: A total of 1,167 patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >4 ng/mL and/or abnormal digital rectal examination underwent a standard 12 core transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy in our hospital and the findings were examined prospectively. Chronic constipation (CC) was defined according to the Rome IV criteria.

Periprocedural Mortality in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the PROGRESS-CTO Registry.

Background: Death is a rare but devastating complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: We examined the clinical characteristics and procedural outcomes of patients who died periprocedurally in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Interventions (PROGRESS-CTO).

Results: Of the 12 928 patients who underwent CTO percutaneous coronary intervention between 2012 and 2022, 52 (0.

Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery esophagectomy outcomes in 40 consecutive patients.

Objectives: Minimally invasive esophagectomy has improved over time becoming faster and less invasive. We have changed our technical approach from multiportal to uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) esophagectomy over the years. In this study, we analysed our results with uniportal VATS esophagectomy technique.

A rare coexistence: Hammock mitral valve and aortopulmonary window.

Congenital mitral stenosis is a broad-spectrum pathology in which blood flow to the left ventricle is obstructed both functionally and anatomically. Hammock mitral valve, also known as anomalous mitral arcade, is a rare congenital anomaly particularly in infants and children. Hammock mitral valve may not be suitable for repair regarding the advanced dysplastic mitral valve structure.
