    Prevalence of Daytime Urinary Incontinence and Related Risk Factors in Primary School Children in Turkey
    (KOREAN UROLOGICAL ASSOC, 2014-01-01) Bolat, Deniz; Acar, Ismail Cenk; Zumrutbas, Ali Ersin; Eskicorapci, Saadettin; Sancak, Eyup Burak; Zencir, Mehmet; Turan, Tahir; Sinik, Zafer
    Purpose: Urinary incontinence is one of the major urinary symptoms in children and adolescents and can lead to major distress for the affected children and their parents. In accordance with the definitions of the Standardization Committee of the International Children's Continence Society, daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) is uncontrollable leakage of urine during the day. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of DUI in Turkish primary school children. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire, which covered sociodemographic variables and the voiding habits of the children, was completed by the parents of 2,353 children who were attending primary school in Denizli, a developing city of Turkey. The children's voiding habits were evaluated by use of the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptoms Score, which is a validated questionnaire. Children with a history of neurological or urological diseases were excluded. Results: The participation rate was 91.9\% (2,164 people). The overall prevalence of DUI was 8.0\%. The incidence of DUI tended to decrease with increasing age and was not significantly different between genders (boys, 8.8\%

    The determination of stage in nonmuscle urothelial carcinoma: Staining pattern of caspase-8
    (MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS \& MEDIA PVT LTD, 2018-01-01) Sen Turk, Nilay; Eskicorapci, Saadettin; Aybek, Zafer; Tuncay, Levent
    Context: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is one of the most frequent epithelial tumors worldwide. Aims: We aimed to investigate the protein expressions of caspase-8, p53, murine double minute 2 (mdm2), and p14(ARF) in nonmuscle UCs and to correlate the findings with clinicopathological characteristics. Settings and Design: A total of 50 patients who had pTa and pT1 tumors were analyzed. Subjects and Methods: The protein expressions of caspase-8, p53, mdm2, and p14ARF were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test was done using SPSS version 16.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Cytoplasmic caspase-8 expression was significantly higher in pT1 UCs while nuclear caspase-8 expression was significantly higher in pTa UCs (P = 0.005 and P = 0.011, respectively). Cytoplasmic caspase-8 expression was also higher in high-grade UCs (P = 0.035). The expression of p53, mdm2, and p14ARF was not also related with pathological stage or grade (P > 0.05 for all). The p14ARF expression was related with nuclear caspase-8 expression in most of the patients. Complete agreement among nonmuscle UCs for immunohistochemical expression of p14 and nuclear caspase-8 was seen in 41 cases, and the pairwise kappa agreement value was substantial (kappa = 0.614). The patients who had recurrence were positive for both p53 and mdm2 or either p53 or mdm2 (P = 0.025). Conclusions: These results suggested that the staining pattern of caspase-8 might be helpful for determining of the stages in nonmuscle UC. It was also showed that the expression status of p53 and mdm2 were related with the recurrence.

    Selective Upper-Body Perfusion Technique for Removal of Renal Cell Carcinoma Extending into the Inferior Vena Cava and Right Atrium
    (TEXAS HEART INST, 2017-01-01) Aydin, Selim; Cengiz, Bora; Gokay, Banu Vural; Mammadov, Anar; Emiroglu, Remzi; Eskicorapci, Saadettin; Erek, Ersin
    Invasion of a renal cell carcinoma thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is infrequent. Reaching and completely excising a tumor from the inferior vena cava is particularly challenging because the liver covers the surgical field. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent surgery for a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney that extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. During dissection of the liver to expose the inferior vena cava, transesophageal echocardiograms revealed right atrial mass migration into the tricuspid valve. On emergency sternotomy, the tumor embolized into the main pulmonary artery. We used a selective upper-body perfusion technique involving moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, and clamping of the descending aorta, which provided a bloodless surgical field for precise removal of the mass and resulted in minimal blood loss. Our technique might be useful in other patients with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium because it reduces the need for transfusion and avoids the deleterious effects of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Our case also illustrates the importance of continuous transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring to detect thrombus embolization.
