There is growing recognition of the association of CP/CPPS accompany with ED. However, the specific mechanism of action remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate structural and functional abnormalities of cavernous endothelial cells in EAP rat, which may result in the ED. we use rat prostate protein extract supplemented with immunoadjuvant to […]

Nitric oxide (NO) is known as the key factor involved in initiating and maintaining an erection. Therefore, NO supplementation may be a target for erectile dysfunction. However, the use of NO donors carries the risk of systemic side effects. Recently, novel NO donors, such as a light-controllable NO donor or NO donor in nanoparticles, have […]

Red cell distribution width (RDW), one of the biomarkers used to measure vascular ageing, is known to correspond with cardiovascular diseases. As coronary artery disease and erectile dysfunction (ED) are both caused by the same shared pathophysiology, in this study, we compared the RDW values of men diagnosed with ED and those of healthy controls. […]

To review the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons fellowship and matching process. There are currently 20 fellowships offered. A centralized match began in 2013-2014. Fellowship directors and graduated fellows were surveyed regarding their experience in their matching process, fellowship, employment opportunities, and their current practice. A web-based survey was distributed to fellowship graduates and directors. […]

To report on a simple technique of inserting any difficult urinary catheter using a hydrophilic guidewire and an angiocatheter. A total of 764 requests were made to the urology team for assistance with a difficult urinary catheter placement. For all patients, either a regular or bent-tip catheter was attempted first. If the initial placement attempt […]

So far, studies have not clearly identified infectious agents as an etiological factor for interstitial cystitis (IC). Specific microbiological diagnosis for detecting the pathogen with higher sensitivity in IC may decrease the treatment costs and increase psychosocial health of the patients. A prospective clinical study was performed in 26 IC patients and 20 controls between […]

Lower semen quality is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, which may include osteoporosis. To assess whether infertile men have a lower bone mineral density (BMD) compared with fertile men at the time of fertility workup. A total of 146 men from infertile couples with unexplained impaired semen quality, characterized by sperm concentration < 20 million/mL, progressive […]

The promise of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine has been widely theorized over the past couple of decades. It has only been with technological advances over the past few years that physicians and computer scientists have started discovering its true clinical potential. Reproductive urology is a sub-discipline that AI could be of great contribution, as […]

Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) develop a variety of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). We previously characterized a murine model of neurogenic bladder dysfunction induced by a neurotropic strain of a coronavirus. In the present study, we further study the role of long-lasting neurodegeneration on the development of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in mice with corona-virus […]

The vesicostomy button has been shown to be a safe and effective bladder management strategy for short- or medium-term use when CIC cannot be instituted. This study reports our use with the vesicostomy button, highlighting the pros and cons of its use and complications. We then compared the quality or life in patients with vesicostomy […]
