[Sexual dysfunction in males with concomitant urological diseases].

A clinical data was studied for 117 males without complaints for copulative disorders admitted to urological clinic electively for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)--44 (37.6%), urolithiasis--25 (21.4%), external genital diseases--17 (14.5%), renal cyst and hydronephrosis--16 (13.7%), renal and vesical tumors--15 (12.8%). Mean age of the patients was 56.2 +/- 16.1 years. The patients filled in IPSS and IIEF questionnaires. Mean score set (+/-SD) for IIEF and IPSS was 35 +/- 23 and 12 +/- 10, respectively. The majority of the patients (n = 61) were not sexually active. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was detected in 23 (19.7%) patients: mild and moderate in 19 (16.2%) and 4 (3.4%), respectively). 24 (73%) patients with normal erectile function, 10 (44%) patients with ED and the majority (n = 37) of sexually inactive men were satisfied with their sexual activity. Those males who needed improvement of sexual life quality had higher (p < 0.05) parameters of erectile function and sexual satisfaction. Age of the patients (R2 = 33.1; p < 0.0001) and IPSS index (p < 0.015) were leading indices in determining condition of the copulative function. IIEF correlated with tumors of the kidney or urinary bladder (p < 0.004) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (p < 0.015). Erectile dysfunction in men with urological diseases was closely related with age and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms. Other sexual disorders may be due both to general causes and urological diseases.

Diagnostic value of foil thermography in urological diseases.

Authors summarize their experience of 8 years with foil thermography. Based on a total of 1113 examinations, they assess the diagnostic value of this method in some andrological and urological diseases. They found foil thermography to be an independent, but not the exclusive procedure in diagnosing varicocele. In addition, this method has proved to be highly valuable also in differentiating the inflammatory and tumorous processes of the testicles. They point out that thermography is very useful for outpatient practice, due to its inexpensiveness, simplicity and rapid applicability.

[Ultrasound diagnosis of nephrologic and urologic diseases in pediatrics. Report on 1000 patients].

Urological conditions of infancy and childhood account for the largest single disease group requiring either surgical or medical intervention. This makes early detection and classification of abnormalities mandatory. This study presents an analysis of the results of ultrasonic screening in 1000 patients. Ultrasonic examination was readily instituted even in children with uncharacteristic symptoms for the early detection of abnormalities. Most cases of kidney and upper urinary tract abnormalities were diagnosable by ultrasound examination alone, whereby the characteristic pathoanatomical pattern of the lesion was seen. Lower urinary tract abnormalities were also detected with high accuracy. However, in most patients radiographic investigations were necessary for further classification. Sonography was also of great value in the initial investigation of acute renal failure; in patients with non-specific clinical and laboratory findings ultrasonography often presented the key to the diagnosis. Ultrasound also proved extremely useful in the follow up of patients with kidney and urinary tract disease. Based on the ultrasonic examination of 1000 patients it is shown that sonography is a most helpful and reliable method for the diagnosis or exclusion of kidney and/or urinary tract disease in paediatric patients of any age.
