Since the vessels do not have long branches immediately from the plexuses in one-forth of the patients, injuries to the ureters are not uniformly accompanied by distal ureteral ischemia.(9) Some reports addressed the probability of decreasing ureteral complications after dissection of the ureter in conjunction with the gonadal veins rather than its dissection without preservation of the gonadal veins.(4-6) Although ureteral blood supply is not directly related to the gonadal vein, it is closely dependent on the surrounding tissues that contain the gonadal vein. keywords: complications; donor; gonadal; group; kidney; nephrectomy; ureter; vein cache: uj-10.pdf plain text: uj-10.txt item: #2 of 1665 id: uj-100 author: None title: uj-100 date: 2008-02-12 words: 2455 flesch: 59 summary: Also, the pattern and timeline of RI values are controversial, as is its correlation with age.

We, therefore, performed a prospective study to determine whether TPTPB is still superior to TRUS biopsy in the detection of prostate cancer in men with persistently elevated PSA after one previous negative set of TRUS biopsies. Materials and Methods: 42 patients with a background of one previous negative set of TRUS biopsy, persistent- ly elevated PSA (but < 20 ng/mL) and benign feeling digital rectal examination (DRE) underwent simultaneous standard 12-core TRUS biopsy and 36-core TPTPB under general anaesthesia. Our results have clearly shown that TPTPB outperformed TRUS biopsies in the diagnostic yield for CaP in men who had previous negative TRUS biopsies and persistently elevated PSA. CONCLUSIONS TPTPB has a significantly higher prostate cancer de- tection rate in comparison to TRUS biopsies in men with persistently abnormally elevated PSA < 20 ng/mL, benign feeling prostate on DRE and one previous set of negative TRUS biopsies. keywords: biopsies; biopsy; cancer; negative; prostate; psa; study; tptpb; trus cache: uj-3702.pdf plain text: uj-3702.txt item: #835 of 1665 id: uj-3703 author: None title: uj-3703 date: 2016-12-13 words: 2732 flesch: 64 summary: In total, 32.1% of AGI patients in the present study had a PTS < 8.

Conclusion: Using the dysplastic corpus spongiosum to cover the new urethra increases the amount of tissue in the coronal sulcus and reduces the incidence of urethral fistula, but it may increase the incidence of urethral stricture. keywords: corpus; fascia; fistula; group; hypospadias; spongiosum; study; urethral cache: uj-7438.pdf plain text: uj-7438.txt item: #1555 of 1665 id: uj-744 author: None title: uj-744 date: 2010-09-13 words: 3521 flesch: 41 summary: Ultrasound screening of healthy infants for urinary tract abnormalities.

In order to prevent occurrence of hourglass deformity of urinary bladder in spinal cord injury patients, we have been trying to implement the following measures: •Intermittent catheterization along with antimuscarinic drug therapy should be recommended as the preferred method of bladder management in spinal cord injury pa- tients •If a patient requires chronic indwelling urinary catheter, antimuscarinic drugs should be prescribed routinely to re- duce uncoordinated contractions of detrusor muscle. keywords: bladder; cord; hourglass; spinal cache: uj-949.pdf plain text: uj-949.txt item: #1660 of 1665 id: uj-95 author: Mahdi title: UROL_Montage.pdf date: 2009-02-08 words: 127 flesch: 16 summary: The names of the authors should have read as follows: Mohammad Heidary,1 Sepideh Vahhabi,2 Jahanbakhsh Reza Nejadi,3 Bahram Delfan,3 Mehdi Birjandi,2 Hossein Kaviani,2 Soudabeh Givrad4 1Department of Urology, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Khorramabad, Iran 2Shohada-e-Ashayer Hospital, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Khorramabad, Iran 3Department of Anesthesiology, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Khorramabad, Iran 4Urology and Nephrology Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University (MC), Tehran, Iran Urol J. 2009;6:71.
