“…Transrectal USG was performed by 3 researchers whereas the transabdominal USG examinations were performed by the same investigator. No significant differences were found between TAUS and TRUS measurements within the first group, between transabdominal measurements using 2 devices, or between results of different investigators (19).…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the composition of kidney stones removed from human patients. Seventeen samples were collected after surgery (5 females and 12 males; age range 2 to 60 years). The samples were analyzed for composition by transmission Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The 17 analyzed samples of kidney stones comprised 29.4% calcium oxalate, 29.4% uric acid, 29.4% calcium oxalate (CaOx)-uric acid, 5.9% phosphate, and 5.9% calcium oxalate-phosphate stones. The results of the study indicated that transmission FT-IR spectroscopy could be used as an environmentally friendly technique for rapid screening of kidney stones.

“…Although transrectal ultrasound is considered more accurate, a number of studies demonstrate good correlation between the two methods and acceptable accuracy for the transabdominal route [16][17][18] . Moreover, the transabdominal ultrasound tends to overestimate the prostate volume in comparison with the transrectal technique, which indicates that the prostate volume of the studied population could be even smaller than the estimated.…”

Urodynamic Evaluation of Patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Small Prostate Volume

Introduction: The relevance of prostate size in the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is controversial. We evaluated the urodynamic findings in patients with LUTS and small prostate volumes. Materials and Methods: 84 patients aged ≧50 years with LUTS and prostates <40 ml were evaluated. All had an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≧8. Average age was 62.0 ± 8.1 years. We evaluated the impact of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor overactivity (DO) on the voiding symptoms and urodynamic findings. Results: Mean prostate volume was 29.2 ± 7.2 ml and mean IPSS was 13.5 ± 4.6. BOO was the main finding, affecting 42 (50.0%) patients, followed by detrusor underactivity (DU) in 41 (48.8%) and DO in 28 (33.3%) patients. Patients without BOO were significantly older than the obstructed (64.0 ± 8.8 and 60.1 ± 6.9 years, respectively; p = 0.026) and had an increased prevalence of DU (76.2 and 21.4%, respectively; p < 0.001). Comparison of patients with and without DO showed reduced bladder capacity and compliance in the DO group (p < 0.001). No other comparisons were significant. Conclusion: Half of the patients with LUTS and small prostates are not obstructed and may have DO or decreased detrusor contractility as the basis for their voiding symptoms. Our results emphasize the value of urodynamics in this population, especially when invasive treatments are being considered.

“…The gold standard TRUS is also discomforting, especially in patients with anal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anal fistulae, as well as patients with a low-pain threshold. On the other hand, suprapubic ultrasound (SPUS) is more widely available, acceptable and affordable [7,8] but requires validation against accepted gold standard imaging modalities in resource-constrained settings.…”
