Introduction: 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 investigate the presence
of SARS-CoV... hiện toàn bộ
Penile Sensitivity and Sexual Satisfaction after Circumcision: Are We Informing Men Correctly? Tập 75 Số 1 - Trang 62-66 - 2005
S. Masood, Hawa Patel, R.C. Himpson, John H. Palmer, G.R. Mufti, Matin Sheriff
Objectives: 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.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty men between the ages of 18
and 60 yea... hiện toàn bộ
Hounsfield Units on Computed Tomography Predict Calcium Stone Subtype Composition Tập 83 Số 2 - Trang 175-180 - 2009
Sutchin R. Patel, George E. Haleblian, August Zabbo, Gyan Pareek
Introduction: 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 calcium
stone subtypes. ... hiện toàn bộ

in an African setting. Materials and Methods: Participants were healthy,
sexually active, uncircumcised, HIV-seronegative males aged 18–24 years. The
main outcomes measured included complications, healing, satisfaction and
resumption of activities. Results: Of 1,475 procedures, 26 (1.8%) were
associated wi... hiện toàn bộ
The Handling of Oxalate in the Body and the Origin of Oxalate in Calcium Oxalate Stones Tập 104 Số 3-4 - Trang 167-176 - 2020

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 both endog... hiện toàn bộ
Perioperative Complications after Radical Prostatectomy: Open versus Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Approach Tập 90 Số 3 - Trang 312-315 - 2013
Michael Froehner, Vladimír Novotný, Rainer Koch, Steffen Leike, Lars Twelker, Manfred P. Wirth
Background: 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 approach. Patients and
