Item Long-term effect of microsurgical inguinal varicocelectomy on testicular blood flow(2011) Tarhan S.; Ucer O.; Sahin M.O.; Gumus B.We aimed to investigate the long-term effect of microsurgical inguinal varicocelectomy on testicular blood flow using color Doppler sonography (CDS) in this observational study. A total of 30 patients clinically diagnosed with left varicocele who underwent a microsurgical inguinal varicocelectomy were examined 3 times with CDS for testicular blood flow parameters, first before, then 3 months after, and finally 6 months after the operation. CDS values of testicular blood flow (peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, resistive index, and pulsatility index) were measured from testicular, capsular, and intratesticular arteries. We also evaluated preoperative and postoperative semen parameters. The mean values of blood flow velocities in the left testicular artery (peak systolic and end diastolic) increased and resistance indices (resistive and pulsatility) in the left capsular and intratesticular arteries decreased significantly after surgery (P < .05). No significant difference was detected between the preoperative and postoperative blood flow parameters in the right testicular, capsular, or intratesticular arteries (P < .05). In the semen analysis run 3 months after the operations, statistically significant increases were found in sperm concentration (P < .001), morphology percentage (P < .001), and total motile sperm concentration (P = .009). The increase in blood flow velocity in the testicular artery and the decrease in resistive and pulsatility indices in the capsular and intratesticular branches of the artery may be strong indicators of an increase in testicular arterial blood flow into the testicular tissue. Our data show that a significant improvement occurs in testicular blood supply and sperm parameters after microsurgical inguinal varicocelectomy.

It provides precise predictions for measurable quantities that can be tested experimentally. The probabilities, or branching fractions, of the strangeB meson (B0 s ) andtheB0meson decaying into two oppositely charged muons (μ+ and μ-) are especially interesting because of their sensitivity to theories that extend the standard model. The standard model predicts that the B0 s→μ+μ- and B0 s→μ+μ- decays are very rare, with about four of the former occurring for every billion B0 s mesons produced, and one of the latter occurring for every ten billion B0 mesons1. A difference in the observed branching fractions with respect to the predictions of the standard model would provide a direction in which the standard model should be extended. Before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN2 started operating, no evidence for either decay mode had been found. Upper limits on the branching fractions were an order of magnitude above the standard model predictions. The CMS (CompactMuonSolenoid) andLHCb(LargeHadronCollider beauty) collaborations have performed a joint analysis of the data from proton'proton collisions that they collected in 2011 at a centre-ofmass energy of seven teraelectronvolts and in 2012 at eight teraelectronvolts. Here we report the first observation of the B0 s→μ+μ- decay, with a statistical significance exceeding six standard deviations, and the best measurement so far of its branching fraction. Furthermore, we obtained evidence for the B0 s→μ+μ- decay with a statistical significance of three standard deviations. Both measurements are statistically compatible with standard model predictions and allow stringent constraints to be placed on theories beyond the standardmodel. The LHCexperimentswill resume taking data in 2015, recording proton'proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 teraelectronvolts, which will approximately double the production rates of B0 s and B0 mesons and lead to further improvements in the precision of these crucial tests of the standard model. © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Karger AG, 2018) Sahin M.O.; Sen V.; Eser E.; Koc E.; Gumus U.; Karakuzu C.; Ucer O.Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on erectile function in patients who had no cavernosal or urethral injury by using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. Materials and Methods: The male patients who were treated by HBOT for several diseases between July 2017 and September 2017 were examined. All patients filled the IIEF questionnaire form before the first day and after the last day of HBOT and a questionnaire including demographic characteristics and medical history. The effects of demographic characteristics and risk factors on erectile function were evaluated, and the IIEF domain scores of patients in first day and last day of HBOT were compared. Results: Totally, 50 patients were included in the study between July 2017 and September 2017 and the mean age was 59.38 ± 13.77. The mean post-HBOT IIEF-EF score of patients was significantly higher than the mean pre-HBOT IIEF-EF score of patients (15.74 ± 10.52 vs. 19.50 ± 10.91; p < 0.001). The mean post-HBOT IIEF scores of other domains including intercourse satisfaction, orgasmic function, sexual desire, and overall satisfaction were also significantly higher than pre-HBOT scores. Conclusions: HBOT may be a good alternative treatment or adjunctive treatment for erectile dysfunction. © 2018 2018 S.

Methods: The patients who underwent URS for proximal ureteral stones between the years 2015 and 2018 in eight centers were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to previous SWL history; group 1 consisted of patients without SWL before URS for the stone [SWL (−)] and group 2 consisted of patients with a previous SWL for the stone [SWL (+)]. Demographics, operation outcomes and stone characteristics were compared between these two groups. Regarding the complication and success rates, optimal timing for URS after SWL for the stone was calculated with receiver operator characteristics curve analysis. Results: Totally 638 patients were included (group 1: 466 patients and group 2: 172 patients). The operation and hospitalization times, rate of ureteral stenting and complications were significantly higher in group 2. Stone free status was similar between the groups. Optimal timing for URS after SWL was calculated as 16.5 days (AUC = 0.657, p = 0.012) with a sensitivity of 68% and specificity of 72%, regarding the complication rates. Complication rates were significantly higher in patients who were operated before 16.5 days (27.7% vs 6.5%, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The optimal timing; 2–3 weeks delay of the URS procedure after unsuccessful SWL may decrease complication rates according to our results. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Item Predictive Factors of Ureterorenoscopy Outcomes in Proximal Ureteral Stones: A Multicenter Study of Aegean Study Group of the Society of Urological Surgery(S. Karger AG, 2020) Sen V.; Irer B.; Erbatu O.; Yildiz A.; Ongun S.; Cinar O.; Cihan A.; Sahin M.O.; Ucer O.; Kizilay F.; Bozkurt O.Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the predictive factors in a holistic manner for ureterorenoscopy (URS) outcomes in proximal ureteral stones by a multicenter study. Materials and Methods: The data of patients who underwent URS for proximal ureteral stones between the years 2015 and 2018 in eight centers were recorded retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to URS success: Group 1 consisted of patients with successful URS, and Group 2 consisted of patients with unsuccessful URS. The two groups were compared in terms of risk factors, stone, and clinical characteristics of patients. Results: A total of 638 patients were included in the study. Group 1 consisted of 527 (82.6%) patients, and Group 2 consisted of 111 (17.4%) patients. In multivariate logistic analysis, the key risk factors for URS success was found to be age (OR = 0.980, 95% [CI] = 0.963-0.996, p = 0.018), stone area (OR = 0.993, 95% [CI] = 0.989-0.997, p = 0.002), and operation time (OR = 0.981, 95% [CI] = 0.968-0.994, p = 0.005). Conclusions: To make the treatment decision of proximal ureteral stones, it is necessary to examine several parameters including available equipment, stone, and patient characteristics. Physicians should keep these risk factors in mind in the decision of treatment options. © 2019 S. Karger AG, Basel.Item Effect of smoking cessation on sexual functions in men aged 30 to 60 years(Brazilian Society of Urology, 2020) Sahin M.O.; Sen V.; Gunduz G.; Ucer O.Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the effects of smoking cessation on the sexual functions in men aged 30 to 60 years. Materials and Methods: Male patients aged 30 to 60 years that presented to the smoking cessation polyclinic between July 2017 and December 2018 were prospectively included in the study. The amount of exposure to tobacco was evaluated in packyear. The patients filled the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) form before the cessation and six months after cessation of smoking. Patients were subgrouped according to age, education level and packs/year of smoking and this groups were compared in terms of IIEF total and all of the IIEF domains. Results: The evaluations performed by grouping the patients according to age (30-39, 40-49 and 50-60 years) and education level (primary-middle school and high schooluniversity) revealed that the total IIEF scores obtained after smoking cessation were significantly higher compared to the baseline scores in all groups (p=0.007 for the 30-39 years group and p <0.001 for the remaining groups). According to grouping by exposure to smoking (≤25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100 and 101≥ packs/year), the total IIEF scores significantly increased after smoking cessation in all groups except 101≥ packs/year (p=0.051 for the 101≥ group and p <0.001 for the remaining groups). Conclusions: Erectile function is directly proportional to the degree of exposure to smoking, and quitting smoking improves male sexual function in all age groups between 30-60 years of age regardless of pack-year and education level. © 2020, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ).
