223 Background: Prostate cancer (Pca) can be detected coincidentally in radical cystoprostatectomy (RCP) specimens for invasive bladder cancer. However, there is no uniformity of opinion on the need for prostate biopsy prior to RCP. We evaluated the necessity of preoperative prostate biopsy in invasive bladder cancer. Methods: From 1998 through 2009, of 300 patients undergoing radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, 252 were male. Of these, we focused 212 patients, whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was measured preoperatively. Results: The median age was 66years and median follow-up period was 46 months. Thirty-five patients with PSA > 4.0 ng/mL or digital rectal examination (DRE) positive were all subjected to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy (Pbx), and Pca was detected in 7 cases (20%) (Group I). Pca was also detected in 5 patients (17.9%) in RCP specimens of the 28 whose Pbx results were negative (Group II). Seventy-seven of the 177 patients with PSA ≤ 4.0ng/mL and DRE negative were underwent TRUS-guided Pbx, and Pca was detected in 1 case (1.3%) (Group III). Pca was detected in 10 patients (13.2%) out of the 76 whose Pbx results were negative (Group IV). Of the 177 patients, 100 underwent RCP without prostate biopsy, and Pca was detected in 16 cases (16%) (Group V). The average Gleason score of each Group, I, II, III, IV, and V were 6.6, 6.6, 7, 6.2, and 6.5, respectively. Tumor volumes of each Group, I, II, III, IV, and V were 3.12mL, 1.0mL, 0.65mL, 0.43mL, and 0.19mL, respectively. No patients experienced recurrence of PC, including biochemical recurrence. Conclusions: In cases with PSA ≤4.0 ng/mL and/or DRE negative, Pbx is not considered necessary. In cases with PSA > 4.0 ng/mL or DRE positive, Pca with an average volume of 3.12 mL were detected by Pbx in 20% of the patients. However, most are localized Pca, and postoperative recurrence of the Pca is not seen during follow-up period. The question of whether all patients in this group require Pbx needs to be examined through further stratification.

Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is the most commonly used indicator for screening of prostate cancer(PCa), and the studies on PSA in PCa are very extensive at present. How to effectively use this indicator is worth for further study which this article wish to address.  Objective: The aim of this study is to explore how PSA in different ranges can better guide the individualized prostate biopsy.  Methods: A total of 117 patients with suspected PCa admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from October 2018 to July 2020 were selected as the research subjects. PSA level and ratio of free and total PSA (F/TPSA) value of each patient were measured, and ultrasound-guided transrectal prostate biopsy was conducted for each patient, and then the PSA measurement results were compared with the prostate biopsy results.  Results: The result of biopsy was PCa in 40 cases, BPH in 77 cases. The positive expression rates of Group I in BPH and PCa patients were 25.97% and 87.50%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The positive expression rates of Group II in BPH and PCa patients were 10.39% and 75.00%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and diagnostic coincidence rates of Group I and Group II were 87.50%, 74.03%, 63.63%, 78.63% and 75.00%, 89.61%, 78.94% and 84.62%, respectively.  Conclusion: Under different TPSA intervals, F/T < 0.16 has different diagnostic efficacy for PCa. Group I is more sensitive and suitable for early screening. Group II has stronger specificity in the diagnosis of PCa, Higher diagnostic coincidence rate, and has more diagnostic advantages before biopsy. Selecting Group II can help clinicians make more patient-friendly decisions and reduce the incidence of complications related to biopsy. According to patients’ aspiration for biopsy, auxiliary examinations such as magnetic resonance scan of prostate and bone scan should be performed actively for patients who meet the criteria I if they refuse to undergo biopsy. On the premise of not affecting PCa secondary prevention as much as possible, a more individualized biopsy plan was developed for patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of ferric sulfate, glutaraldehyde, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as pulpotomy medicaments in primary molars. Materials and Methods: This was a perspective randomized clinical trial. A total of 90 molars from 42 children aged 4–8 years were selected for pulpotomy procedure. Teeth were randomly divided into three equal groups of 30 teeth each. Teeth in Group I were intended to be treated with ferric sulfate, Group II were intended to be treated with buffered glutaraldehyde and Group III with MTA. All the molars were evaluated clinically at 24 h and both clinically and radio graphically at 1, 3, and 6 months. The observations were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Results: After 1 month, there was no clinical finding observed in all the three groups. At 3 months postoperative evaluation, 13.3% of teeth in Group I and 12.5% of teeth in Group II had mobility. At 6 months interval, pain and sinus formation each was noted in 9.1% of primary teeth in Group I while periodontal ligament widening was reported in 66.7% of teeth in Group I and 85.7% of teeth in Group II. Conclusion: MTA exhibited overall best results as pulpotomy agent for primary molars followed by 15.5% ferric sulfate, whereas 2% buffered glutaraldehyde was found to be least effective as a pulpotomy agent.

Objective: To determine whether listening to music during transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided 12-core needle prostate biopsy decreases anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction among patients and results in a more comfortable and better tolerated procedure. Patients and Methods: 76 male patients who underwent TRUS-guided prostate biopsy between March 2013 and June 2014 were randomized into the following groups: no music (group I, n = 38) or classical music (group II, n = 38) during the procedure. Before TRUS-guided prostate biopsy, lidocaine gel was instilled into the rectum. Patient anxiety levels were quantified using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A visual analog scale (0-10) was used for self-assessment of satisfaction, discomfort and willingness among patients to have a repeat TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. Results: Demographic characteristics, mean age, procedure duration and procedure indications did not differ statistically between the two groups. The mean anxiety level and mean pain score of group II were significantly lower than those of group I (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). Group II also had a significantly higher mean satisfaction score than group I (p = 0.007). Before the procedure, heart rate and systolic blood pressure were similar in groups I and II; however, after the procedure, levels were lower in group II than in group I (heart rate, p = 0.014; systolic blood pressure, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Listening to music during TRUS-guided prostate biopsy significantly reduced patients' feelings of pain, discomfort and dissatisfaction. Music can serve as a simple, inexpensive and effective adjunct to sedation during TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. We recommend playing music during TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.

SummaryA retrospective study was done to determine the incidence of and the risk factors predisposing to clinical venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients treated for high grade gliomas. Medical records of 68 consecutive patients diagnosed and treated at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center from January 1986 to June 1991 were reviewed. The follow up was to time of death or at least 6 months (up to December 1991). All clinically suspected episodes of VTE were confirmed by objective tests. Sixteen episodes of VTE were detected in 13 patients for an overall episode rate of 23.5%. Administration of chemotherapy (p = 0.027, two tailed Fisher exact test) and presence of paresis (p = 0.031, two tailed Fisher exact test) were statistically significant risk factors for the development of VTE. Thrombotic events were more likely to occur in the paretic limb and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.00049, chi square test, with Yates correction). No major bleeding complications were seen in the nine episodes treated with long term anticoagulation.We conclude that venous thromboembolic complications are frequently encountered in patients being treated for high grade gliomas and the presence of paresis and the administration of chemotherapy increases the risk of such complications.

BACKGROUND Pelvic floor training (PFT) is the gold standard for conservative treatment of male stress urinary incontinence. OBJECTIVE To evaluate patients´ perspective at risk of incontinence on PFT and application of digital technologies for PFT. METHODS Patients undergoing transurethral surgery of the prostate (group I), radical prostatectomy (group II) or treatment at a specialized incontinence outpatient clinic (group III) were surveyed anonymously. Chi-Square test and Kruskal-Wallis-analysis were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS 180 patients were included in the final analysis. In group I (n=35) no patient underwent PFT prior to transurethral surgery. 23.5% of patients in group II (n=51) and 95.7% of patients in group III (n=94) performed PFT. 11.4% in group I, 80.4% in group II and 91.5% in group III have been advised to perform PFT by their urologist. Regarding the information level on PFT, patients from group I (median 1, range 0-5) are less satisfied than patients from group II (median 3, 0-9) or group III (median 5, range 0-10, p<0.001). 88.6% of patients from group I are willing to perform PFT as preventive treatment or to avoid incontinence surgery, 100% from group II and 68.4% from group III (p<0.001). The likelihood to use digital PFT is higher in group I (median: 9, range 0-10) and II (median: 9, range 0-10) than in group III (median: 4, range 0-10, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients at risk of incontinence currently have limited access to PFT, although they are willing to perform PFT. Digital PFT is highly accepted by patients preoperatively and might be a valuable tool to increase PFT participation.

Demographic variables, biochemical analysis including liver profile and stage of cirrhosis, viral-status, tumour staging and the treatment modalities offered were all noted. ANOVA (normal) and Kruskal-Wallis (non-normal) tests were used to compare quantitative data whereas chi-square-test and fisher-exact-test were used to compare qualitative-data.Results: Out of 195 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 76% were males in their fifth to sixth decades of life, 96% had cirrhosis, 94% corresponded to viral hepatocellular-carcinoma (82% Hepatitis-C-Virus, 9% Hepatitis-B-Virus and 3% coinfection), 60% of the cirrhotics landed in Child-Pugh A category with tumour staging BCLC-B being the predominant one (43.6%) and single and multiple bilateral nodules were the commonest lesions encountered. Platelets and Alanine-Transaminase had a significant relation across aetiological groups. Lymph-nodes were the most common extra-hepatic organs for metastasis and the presence of viral PCR had a significant impact on the tumour aggressiveness. Thirty-two percent of the patients were amenable to curative treatment.Conclusion: Viral infection is the main cause of rising prevalence of this tumour in Pakistan. Treatment modalities are expensive and expertise are lacking. A nationwide cancer registry is required for the exact disease burden and tumour behaviour for our population. Continuous....

Introduction: Labour pain is among the most severe pain a woman can experience in her lifetime. Painful labour has decrimental effects on both mother and fetus leads to severe physical and psychological stress. Maternal hyperventilation in response to pain reduces fetal oxygenation and hypoventilation between contractions combined with decreased blood ow worsens fetal hypoxemia. It has been suggested that conning women to bed during labour may cause the labour to be longer and more painful with increase in abnormal presentation, instrumental deliveries and fetal distress. Aims And Objectives:The onset, quality and duration of their analgesic action. Incidence of unwanted effects like muscle weakness, hypotension, pruritus, nausea/vomiting, fetal bradycardia by the individual drugs. Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the department of anesthesia, Darbhanga Medical College & Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Methods of collection of data (including sampling procedure if any) : After institutional committee approval and written informed consent from parturients and their relatives for the procedure the study was conducted and data were collected. Results: Duration of analgesia was found varying widely. It was 55±12.34 minutes in Group I whereas 75 ±14.36 minutes in Group II. The incidence of pruritus almost mild or negligible in both groups. The incidence of motor weakness in group II was 24 (80%) whereas in group I it was 10(33%). There was signicant statistics difference in motor weakness between two groups (p< 0.001) by Chi square test 9 with yate's correction. Other side effects differences between two groups were not statistically signicant. Summary And Conclusion:Both the drugs provided excellent quality of analgesia to the parturient in pain. The difference in duration of analgesia was signicant between the two groups statistically. Mean duration of analgesia lasted for 55 minutes in group I whereas in group II, it lasted for 75 minutes. Main side effects encountered in this study were motor weakness of longer duration in group II than in group I. Other side effects like nausea-vomiting were comparable to each other and were minimal in nature.
