Complete Urethral Rupture Related with Penile Fracture Occurring during Sexual Intercourse: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Girgin, Reha

Complete disruption of the urethra due to penile fracture is a very rare occurrence. Herein, we report a case of a 39-year-old man who presented with penile fracture and complete disruption of the urethra as a result of sexual intercourse and present a review of the literature on penile fracture. Surgical exploration at presentation was performed and primary repair was done. In follow-up, the patient reported moderate erectile dysfunction which over time responded to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor drugs. Early surgical repair and evaluation for concomitant urethral injury in case of penile frac ...Daha fazlası

Medical Cost Analysis of the Osteoporotic Hip Fractures

Camur, Savas | Kilinc, Bekir Eray | Sonmez, Mehmet Mesut | Celik, Haluk | Oc, Yunus

Objective: Osteoporotic hip fractures decrease the life expectancy for 20% about 20-50% of the patients become permanently dependent in terms of walking for the rest of their life. Life expectancy is increasing in Turkey in the last 20 years. We investigated the impact of osteoporotic hip fractures which increase the morbidity and mortality on the national economy. Materials and Methods: A total of 81 patients admitted to our emergency department with the diagnosis of femur intertrochanteric fracture and femoral neck fracture between 2008 and 2012 were included in this study. We retrospectivel ...Daha fazlası

The Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of MicroRNA-21 in Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Tumors

Cinar, Onder | Mungan, Necmettin Aydin

Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the commonly diagnosed urological cancers that causes human death, ranked as the seventh most common cancer worldwide. To date, no reliable diagnostic tool has been defined to recognize non-muscle invasive bladder tumors other than cystoscopy. For this reason, scientists have focused on finding new non-invasive biomarkers that can be used to diagnose BC with higher specificity and sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic role and prognostic significance of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. In this review, the ...Daha fazlası

The Impact of BK Virus and Cytomegalovirus Infections on Graft in Renal Transplant Patients: Experience of a Tertiary Hospital in Turkey

Kose, Sukran | Atalay, Sabri | Ulu, Yildiz | Sonmez, Ufuk | Serin Senger, Suheyla

Introduction: BK virus (BKV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are common in renal transplant patients. In this retrospective study, we investigated the frequency of BKV and CMV infections and their effects on graft. Materials and Methods: The data of 118 renal transplant recipients who were transplanted and followed-up between January 2010 and January 2011 were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, biochemical data, BKV and CMV DNA levels by polymerase chain reaction (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) were investigated. The patients were followed- up monthly in the first six months and then every ...Daha fazlası

Relationship Between TLR2 and TLR4 Gene Polymorphisms with Psoriasis

Keni, Fatih Mehmet | Celik, Sevim Karakas | Solak, Nilgun | Genc, Gunes Cakmak | Dursun, Ahmet

Objective: Psoriasis is a common, chronic and recurrent disease which can affect skin and also joints. Although the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis has not precisely determined, the most supported mechanism is inflammation triggered by any factor. Toll like receptors (TLRs) family described in recent years is known to play a critical role in host immunity against a wide variety of pathogens. In our study, we aimed to reveal possible relationships of some TLR gene polymorphisms with psoriasis in this patient group. Methods: A hundred patients who diagnosed with psoriasis and 173 healthy controls ...Daha fazlası

The Role of Radiology in Perivesical Invasion of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Oz, Ibrahim Ilker | Mungan, Aydin

Bladder cancer is the most common cancer of the urinary tract. At the initial diagnosis of bladder cancer, approximately 30% of the cases are diagnosed as muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Metastases and depth of invasion are directly related to survival. In patients with MIBC, multimodal bladder-sparing treatments with chemotherapy and radiotherapy reveal comparable survival rates with radical cystectomy. Therefore, accurate and reliable staging of bladder cancer is of paramount importance in choosing the most appropriate treatment method. In patients with confirmed MIBC, computed tomogr ...Daha fazlası
