BACKGROUND The aim was to identify preimplant factors affecting postimplant prostate volume and the increase in prostate volume after transperineal interstitial prostate brachytherapy with 125I free seeds. METHODS We reviewed the records of 180 patients who underwent prostate brachytherapy with 125I free seeds for clinical T1/T2 prostate cancer. Eighty-one (45%) of the 180 patients underwent ...

We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 52 year old male with a history of diabetes mellitus. The abscess was treated successfully with surgical drainage by transurethral unroofing of the cavity of the abscess. The use of transrectal ultrasound is valuable in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the abscess, while drainage is usually necessary for the treatment, which can be done by tra...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the presence of ultrasonographic findings of synovitis is associated with the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF) in patients with palindromic rheumatism (PR) during active episodes. METHODS Clinically involved regions of 84 patients with PR during active episodes were examined...

Transrectal longitudinal ultrasonography was performed in 34 patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Prostatic stones and cystic lesions were associated with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis in 67.6% and 11.8%, respectively. The annual relapse rates of clinical symptoms were related to the presence of prostatic stones and cystic lesions. Transrectal ultrasonography plays a very import...

background the incidence of prostatic abscess (pa) has markedly declined with the widespread use of antibiotics and the decreasing incidence of urethral gonococcal infections. objectives to evaluate different treatment methods for prostatic abscess and to describe technical points that will improve the outcome of transurethral (tur) drainage of prostatic abscess. patients and methods we perform...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Sepsis protocols promote aggressive patient management, including invasive procedures. After the provision of point-of-care ultrasonographic markers of volume status and cardiac function, we seek to evaluate changes in emergency physician clinical decisionmaking and physician assessments about the clinical utility of the point-of-care ultrasonographic data when caring for adult ...
