<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The presence of new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in semen and the possibility of sexual transmission have become new subjects of curiosity. There is a discrepancy regarding this issue in the literature. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in semen has been investigated in a limited number of studies, and mostly in recovering patients. We aimed to inve...... hiện toàn bộ Penile Sensitivity and Sexual Satisfaction after Circumcision: Are We Informing Men Correctly? Tập 75 Số 1 - Trang 62-66 - 2005

<i>Objectives:</i> Currently no consensus exists about the role of the foreskin or the effect circumcision has on penile sensitivity and overall sexual satisfaction. Our study assesses the effect of circumcision on sexually active men and the relative impact this may have on informed consent prior to surgery. <i>Materials and Methods:</i> One hundred and fifty men b...... hiện toàn bộ Hounsfield Units on Computed Tomography Predict Calcium Stone Subtype Composition Tập 83 Số 2 - Trang 175-180 - 2009

<i>Introduction:</i> Hounsfield unit (HU) determination of urinary stones on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) has been shown to predict stone composition. However, no in vivo studies have attempted to radiographically separate the various calcium stone compositions. We investigate the efficacy of HU measurement on NCCT to determine if it can differentiate the various calc...... hiện toàn bộ Adult Male Circumcision Outcomes: Experience in a Developing Country Setting Tập 78 Số 3 - Trang 235-240 - 2007

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urologic diseases in industrialized societies. More than 80% of renal stones are composed of calcium oxalate, and small changes in urinary oxalate concentrations affect the risk of stone formation. Elucidation of the source of oxalate and its mechanism of transport is crucial for understanding the etiology of urolithiasis. Sources of oxalate can be bo...... hiện toàn bộ Perioperative Complications after Radical Prostatectomy: Open versus Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Approach Tập 90 Số 3 - Trang 312-315 - 2013

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The best technique of radical prostatectomy - open versus robot-assisted approach - is controversially discussed. In this study, we compared the complication rates of open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy during the introduction and subsequent routine use of a da Vinci® robotic device while open surgery remained the standard approac...... hiện toàn bộ
