A method is outlined to express a Tur,n determinant of solutions of a three term recurrence relation as a weighted sum of squares. This method is shown to imply the positivity of Tur determinants of symmetric Pollaczek polynomials, Lommel polynomials and q-Bessel functions.

Carcinosarcomas of the urinary bladder are rare biphasic neoplasms, consisting of both malignant epithelial and malignant mesenchymal components, and the prognosis of this tumor is unfavorable in most patients with even possibility of resection of disease. A 77-year-old male with a history of transurethral resection (TUR) of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder and adjuvant intravesical che...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of extensive transurethral resection (TUR) in the diagnosis and treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and its further impact on the recurrence rate at the first follow-up cystoscopy (RR-FFC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of consecutive series of 523 patients with NMIBCs who underwent TUR from June 2009 to July 2015 at the Second ...

OBJECTIVE We compared the surgical results between holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) for the treatment of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS A total of 87 patients with symptomatic BPH were analysed. HoLEP was performed on 46 men (mean age 68.2 +/- 7.5 years old) from December 2005 to February 2007, and TUR-...

PURPOSE We assessed the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) and clinical outcomes between diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and non-diabetic (non-DM) patients receiving transurethral resection of prostate (TUR-P). METHODS This analysis was a retrospective cohort study using 13 years (2000-2012) of claims data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). A total of 4,887 p...

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) involves the risk of transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome owing to hyponatremia. Irrigation fluid type, duration of operation, and weight of resected mass have been evaluated as risk factors for TUR syndrome. The purpose of the present study was to identify risk factors related to TUR syndrome in the elderly. METHODS After obtaining ...

Staging and grading of bladder cancer have a substantial impact on patients' prognosis. However, due to the relatively low quality and quantity of specimens from transurethral resection (TUR), initial histopathological examination may not be fully reliable. The aim of this study was to assess the repeatability of staging and grading in post-TUR and post-radical cystectomy (RC) specimens. Stagin...

Among patients with invasive bladder cancer, there are patients who cannot tolerate cystectomy due to high age or comorbidities. We retrospectively reviewed 27 patients who were treated conservatively with transurethral resection (TUR). All patients had undergone TUR and 5 patients had received subsequent pelvic radiation therapy. The survival and control of local symptoms were analyzed statist...
