Self-mutilation is the deliberate direct injuring of body tissue, often done without suicidal intention. Genital self-mutilation is a very rare event and self-harm of the penis, especially in the genital system is exceedingly rare. Generally, this kind of behavior is related to psychotic disorders but can sometimes be seen in non-psychotic people due to bizarre autoerotic acts, a desire for to change sex or religious beliefs that view sexual intercourse as a sin. Our case was the reported genital self-mutilation as a result of the bizarre sexual arousal of a young man who is employed as an architect.
IntroductionThe question of whether sexual intercourse can harm athletic performance is a long-debated topic since first sport competitions were invented. Therefore, due to the lack of solid evidence, we aimed to evaluate the effects of sexual intercourse on muscle training performance.Materials and methodsPhysically and sexually active, 50 men (age=29.3±1.14 years) were enrolled in the study. Participants completed three weight training sessions and all sessions were at the same time of the day. The maximum weight was adjusted in the first session. In the second and third sessions, they performed five repetitions of the squat with their maximum weight for each set with a total of five sets after participating in and abstaining from sexual intercourse the night before, respectively. The duration of sexual intercourse was measured with a stopwatch.ResultsThe mean duration of sex was measured to be 13.8±3.61 min. Furthermore, the mean lifted weight before sex was calculated to be 109.4±11.41 kg and the mean lifted weight after sex was calculated to be 107±11.05 kg. According to obtained data, sexual intercourse has a significant detrimental effect on maximum weight in squat training (p=0001).ConclusionResults demonstrate that sexual intercourse within 24 hours before exercise have detrimental effect on lower extremity muscle force, which suggests that restricting sexual activity before a short-term activity may be necessary.
Highlights First infant testicular cavernous hemangimoa report. Cavernous hemangiomas among testicular masses can also be observed in infancy. Hydrocele can make diagnosis and treatment of testicular masses difficult. Testes sparing surgery was performed for care to fertility.
The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is common and supernumerary kidney is the rarest developmental anomaly of the urogenital system. The supernumerary kidney in a HSK conjunction is extremely rare, and prevalence of it is unknown. A review of literature, there have been a few case reports about the supernumerary and HSK combination, however, none of which also had a concomitant kidney stone and obstructive pathology. Our case indicated that patient referred to flank pain and visible hematuria to our clinic, and further investigations demonstrate supernumerary kidney in a horseshoe configuration and kidney stone. Kidney stone could not be found at the first attempt because of the anatomical malformation. Retrograde pyelography showed ureteral branching and helps to define the placement of stone. This stone was fragmented with flexible ureteroscopy in the lower pole of the middle kidney in the second session. There was no stone fragments absence at the 1st-month control. This exceedingly rare type case should be evaluated meticulously on preoperative duration otherwise can be a challenge for surgeons. Visualize pelvicalyceal system under the fluoroscope is a vital step in this regard to being guidance during the procedure.
A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To determine optimal patients who appropriate for flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) treatment of kidney stones, and the precise cut-off volume value to regard success of FURS. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : We retrospectively analysed; 164 FURS procedures for kidney stone treatment between December 2012-October 2016 at our centre. Stone Free Rates (SFR) of the procedure was controlled with Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) at the end of the first month. The success rate was determined as the absence of stone fragments or clinical insignificant residual fragments <4 mm. Demographic features, clinical findings and outcomes were recorded. Multivariate analyses were performed to find independent factors and ROC curve was plotted to mark threshold points. Patients are classified according to volume as group 1 (under the cut-off value) and group 2 (beyond the cut-off volume). Area Under Curve (AUC) was used to define a relation between Total Stone Volume (TSV) and operative outcomes. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The mean TSV was 364.6±295.9 mm 3 , and the overall SFR was 124 (75.6%). We identified that TSV beyond the 330 mm 3 volume SFR significantly decrease, operative time and fluoroscopy time remarkably increase as well. The AUC for the TSV and outcomes were 0.743, 0.754, 0.731 respectively. Patients whose TSV smaller than 330 mm 3 were 93 (56.7%) and the rest of patients 51(43.3%) have larger stone volume. SFR is significantly lower and fluoroscopy, the operative time longer in group two patients. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : TSV is the strongest influential factor for the SFR. FURS should be kept in mind firstly for the renal stones TSV <330mm 3 , for larger stones other treatment modalities could be thought.

G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Kliniğimizde Aralık 2012 Ekim 2016 tarihleri arasında böbrek taşı tedavisi için FURS tedavisi uygulanmış 164 vaka geriye dönük tarandı. Yapılan işlemin taşsızlık oranı birinci ayın sonunda çekilen kontrastsız bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile değerlen-dirildi. Başarı oranını belirlerken; BT'de kalkül görülmemesi ya da klinik olarak anlamsız kabul edilen (<4 mm) kalküllerin görülmesi başarı olarak kabul edildi. Demografik özellikler, klinik bulgular ve sonuçlar kayıt altına alındı. Bağımsız faktörleri ve ROC eğrisini belirlemek için çok değişkenli analizler yapıldı. Hastalar taş hacimlerinin eşik değerlerinin üstünde ve altında olmalarına göre iki gruba ayrıldılar. Eğri altında kalan alan, toplam taş hacmi (TTH) ile operasyon sonuçları arasındaki ilişkiyi tanımlamak için kullanıldı. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Ortalama TTH 364,6±295,9 mm 3 ve toplam taşsızlık oranı 124 (%75,6) idi. Total taş hacmi 3...
An ectopic kidney is a common developmental anomaly of the urinary system. However, the thoracic kidney (TK) is the rarest state form of an aberrant kidney. The aim of this case report is defining the symptoms in TK diagnosis and constructing a treatment model will promote the best outcomes. These patients come to the physician with the various symptoms, and they could be diagnosed incidentally. In our case, we describe 40 years female patient with severe respiratory problems and upper back pain. In the pulmonary clinic, suspected mass was diagnosed with chest X-ray, and computerized tomography detected nontraumatic nonhernia associated, a truly ectopic TK. Moreover, the thoracic surgeon and urologist team decided to exploration and reconstructed the right ectopic kidney. The 1st month of the control of patient symptoms was disappeared. Overall, TK should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of thoracic tumors. Surgical exploration and reconstruction should be thought in patients who have severe respiratory symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
