Ismail, et al. 96 A statistically significant difference was identified between the age of individuals who had received the immunization and those who did not (p < 0.0001). Given that the mean age of those vaccinated with BCG in our study was 71 years, and our study specif- ically looked at infantile BCG immunization, this may also explain why individuals with waning immunity from remote immunization did not influence tumour character- istics or risk stratification in patients with NMIBC. keywords: bcg; bladder; cancer; immunization; nmibc; patients cache: aiua-11380.pdf plain text: aiua-11380.txt item: #33 of 167 id: aiua-11404 author: Karaca, Yavuz; Sahinler, Emre Burak; Karaca, Didar Ilke; Sinanoglu, Orhun title: Analysis of transurethral resection of prostate videos on YouTube™: Educational quality assessment date: 2023-05-30 words: 3051 flesch: 64 summary: It is important to detect high quality videos and verify the information with multiple sources.

The MRI is a noninvasive procedure, very accurate in the evaluation of penile fracture and that can help deter- mine the most appropriate type of treatment; however because of its high cost (6), it is rarely used in acute situ- ations and many penile trauma cases are been diagnosed only with clinical presentation and ECD. keywords: cases; complications; curvature; diagnosis; fracture; injury; pain; patients; penile; sexual; study; term; trauma; treatment cache: aiua-5052.pdf plain text: aiua-5052.txt item: #164 of 167 id: aiua-5053 author: Benedetto, Giuseppe; Nigro, Filippo; Bratti, Emiliano; Tasca, Andrea title: Modifications of echogenicity of the testis during acute torsion may be a predictive factor of organ damage? date: 2014-12-30 words: 647 flesch: 41 summary: We evaluated the changes of echogenicity in the course of testicular torsion of the testis to identify charac- teristics predictive of irreversible organ damage.
