Prevalence of daytime urinary incontinence and related risk factors in primary school children in Turkey.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed that DUI is a common health problem in primary school children. In an effort to increase awareness of children's voiding problems and the risk factors for urinary dysfunction in the population, educational programs and larger school-based screening should be carried out, especially in regions with low socioeconomic status.

Metastasis of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer into the thyroid gland: a literature review accompanied by a rare case.
Authors: Tuncer M, Faydaci G, Altin G, Erdogan BA, Kibar S, Sanli A, Bilgici D
Abstract
Bladder cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the urinary tract. About 90% of bladder cancers are urothelial carcinomas. Seventy percent of cases newly diagnosed are superficial diseases; roughly 30% of newly diagnosed cases are muscle-invasive metastatic diseases. Bladder urothelial carcinoma primarily metastasizes into regional lymph nodes and then into liver, lung, mediastinum, bone, and adrenal gland. In our case, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer metastasized into the bone, mediastinum, iliac lymph node, and ...

Treatment of bladder dysfunction using stem cell or tissue engineering technique.
Authors: Kim JH, Lee HJ, Song YS
Abstract
Tissue engineering and stem cell transplantation are two important options that may help overcome limitations in the current treatment strategy for bladder dysfunction. Stem cell therapy holds great promise for treating pathophysiology, as well as for urological tissue engineering and regeneration. To date, stem cell therapy in urology has mainly focused on oncology and erectile dysfunction. The therapeutic potency of stem cells (SCs) was originally thought to derive from their ability to differentiate into various cell types including smooth muscle. The main mecha...

Relating prognosis in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma to the chromophobe tumor grading system.
CONCLUSIONS: chRCC is associated with a very low rate of cancer specific events (4.1%) even at a tertiary referral center. In our study, pathologic stage and CTG 3, but not CTG 1 or 2, were significantly associated with the development of these events.

Detection rate of prostate cancer on the basis of the vienna nomogram: a singapore study.
CONCLUSIONS: With the use of the Vienna nomogram, our prostate cancer detection rate is comparable to previously published data for Asian patients. This nomogram offers an easy tool with which to select the optimal number of prostate biopsy cores to be taken on the basis of patient age and total prostate volume. With this biopsy strategy, we also have found that the complication rate from prostate biopsy is low.

Efficacy of Repeated Transrectal Prostate Biopsy in Men Younger Than 50 Years With an Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentration (>3.0 ng/mL): Risks and Benefits Based on Biopsy Results and Follow-up Status.
CONCLUSIONS: All patients with benign prostatic disease based on their first biopsy were shown to have benign disease based on all repeated biopsies (15.83%), except for one patient; however, several complications were noted after biopsy. Therefore, the risks and benefits of repeated biopsy in young patients should be considered because of the low rate of change from benign to malignant disease despite continuously high PSA concentrations (>3.0 ng/mL).

The nephrometry score: is it effective for predicting perioperative outcome during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy?
CONCLUSIONS: Tumor size and proximity of the mass to the collecting system showed significant associations with EBL and WIT, respectively, during RPN. The R.E.N.A.L and PADUA nephrometry scoring systems did not predict perioperative outcomes.

Tolterodine to relieve urinary symptoms following transurethral resection of the prostate: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Administering 2 mg of tolterodine twice daily is an effective and well-tolerated regimen to relieve early storage symptoms, quality of life, and the amount of analgesic consumption following transurethral resection of the prostate.

Transobturator tape for female stress urinary incontinence: preoperative valsalva leak point pressure is not related to cure rate or quality of life improvement.
CONCLUSIONS: VLPP was not a factor related to surgical outcome from the midurethral sling procedure. Stamey grade rather than VLPP was important for predicting subjective quality of life and improved incontinence-related quality of life after surgery.

Clinical significance of national institutes of health classification in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Although combination treatment reduced the CPSI score in both groups, there was no significant difference between the groups after combination treatment. We suggest that factors other than inflammation also contribute to symptoms associated with CP/CPPS.

Intradetrusor Injections of Onabotulinum Toxin-A in Children With Urinary Incontinence due to Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity Refractory to Antimuscarinic Treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Onabotulinum toxin-A injections into the bladder wall provide a significant symptomatic and urodynamic improvement in children with neurogenic detrusor overactivity due to myelomeningocele who are on intermittent catheterization. The treatment seems to be safe and very well tolerated.
