Tamoxifen (TX) is widely used for the treatment of male factor and idiopathic infertility. It has been shown that TX induces sperm production and so improves male fertility. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of TX on the sperm parameters and chromatin quality in mice. In this research, 24 male NMRI mice were […]
Some evidence suggests that infertile men, who are at increased risk for hypogonadism, metabolic derangements, and osteoporosis, have higher long-term morbidity and mortality than controls, but data are scarce and not conclusive. We tested whether semen quality and reproductive function could represent a marker of general male health. A retrospective study of 5177 individuals from […]
For improving the evaluation of male infertility, many parameters were studied and reported in earlier literature. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of sperm aneuploidy and DNA fragmentation in infertile men and to assess the correlation between sperm aneuploidy and DNA fragmentation. In this study 100 infertile men were included, cases […]
Insomnia, especially difficulty maintaining sleep, is prevalent among older adults and increases the incidence of falls and fractures. Moreover, the drugs used to treat it exacerbate the risk. Yet current therapies fail to address one of its most common causes in older adults: nocturia and its primary contributor, nocturnal polyuria (NP), especially among the majority […]
To evaluate the effects of tadalafil monotherapy on lower urinary tract symptoms, urodynamic parameters, and oxidative stress levels in male patients. This prospective study included 53 male patients with urinary symptoms, who met the criteria for overactive bladder (OAB) (≥ 2 points for Q3 [urgency] in the OAB symptom score [OABSS] assessment and ≥ 3 points for […]
Aim: To describe treatment patterns in Denmark, Norway and Sweden for patients receiving overactive bladder (OAB) pharmacotherapy. Methods: This was a prospective, multinational, registry-based study involving three nationwide prescribed drug registries (sample size 6000 patients per country), performed between 1 January and 30 June 2014. Patients were followed prospectively for 12 months after first pick-up […]
We aimed to compare the outcomes of supine and prone miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (m-PNL) in the treatment of lower pole, middle pole and renal pelvic stones. 54 patients who performed supine m-PNL between January 2017 and March 2018 and 498 patients who performed prone m-PNL between April 2015 and January 2018 were included in the […]
To evaluate the uroflowmetry (UFM), which reflects the urinary symptoms of children with nocturnal enuresis (NE). This study retrospectively investigated 93 children who underwent UFM three times on the same day (≥8 years old; mean age: 9 years and 10 months; 66 boys and 27 girls). Children with the combination of daytime incontinence (DI) and […]
Medical expulsive therapy (MET) for ureteral stones has become a controversial area due to the contradictory results of high-quality trials and meta-analyses. We aimed to review the literature to evaluate the value of and future directions for MET for ureteral stone disease. A literature search of the MEDLINE database and the Cochrane Library was conducted […]
First, to evaluate the efficacy of adjustable balloon devices or adjustable continence therapy (ProACT) in the treatment for male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Second, to investigate the safety profile and rates of adverse events associated with the implantation of adjustable balloon devices. A review of the literature was performed by searching the PubMed database with […]
