However, although vaccination rates are rising, they are still too low mirroring a lack of disease awareness in the community. This study aims to evaluate knowledge about HPV vaccination as well as the vaccination rate among German medical students.Material and methods: Medical students were surveyed during a German medical students' sports event. The self-designed survey on HPV vaccination consisted of 24 items. The data collection was anonymous.Results: Among 974 participating medical students 64.9% (632) were women, 335 (34.4%) were male and 7 (0.7%) were nonbinary. Mean age was 23.1 ± 2.7 (± standard deviation; range 18-35) years. Respondents had studied mean 6.6 ± 3.3 (1-16) semesters and 39.4% (383) had completed medical education in urology. 613 (64%) respondents reported that HPV had been discussed during their studies. 7.6% (74) had never heard of HPV. In a multivariate model female gender, the knowledge about HPV, and having worked on the topic were significantly associated with being HPV-vaccinated. Older students were vaccinated less likely.Conclusions: Better knowledge and having worked on the topic of HPV were associated with a higher vaccination rate. However, even in this highly selected group the knowledge about HPV vaccination was low. Consequently, more information and awareness campaigns on HPV vaccination are needed in Germany to increase vaccination rates.","PeriodicalId":23414,"journal":{"name":"Urologia Internationalis","volume":" ","pages":"153-158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10994630/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139513752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the associations between urinary PAHs and OAB.Methods: 7,146 adults aged over 20 who participated in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016 were studied. The impact of the six PAHs on OAB was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression, and percent changes related to different quartiles of those six PAH levels were calculated. Confounders including age, logarithmic urinary creatinine, gender, race, body mass index, educational level, marriage, poverty income ratio, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome were controlled.Results: There is a significant positive correlation between urinary concentrations of the six PAHs we include in the study and the occurrence of OAB. Furthermore, individuals with higher PAH levels also reported a more severe OAB symptom score (OABSS).Conclusions: Our findings revealed that adult men in the USA with higher urinary PAHs had a higher risk of OAB incidence. These findings suggest the importance of strong environmental regulation of PAHs to protect population health.

Gene expression of CCNA2, MKI67, and p53 was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. For Cox regression analyses, uni- and multivariable hazard ratios were calculated. Spearman correlation was used to analyze correlation of CCNA2 expression with MKI67 and p53.Results: The median age of the cohort was 73 years, and it consisted of 48 males (77.4%) and 14 females (22.6%).

To distinguish the stone types, we created three types of deep learning models and extensively compared their classification performance.Results: Among the three major types of models, considering accuracy, sensitivity, and recall, CLNC-LR, IMG-support vector machine (SVM), and FUS-SVM perform the best.

Analgesic requirements in the first 24 h postsurgery, the time of first analgesia requirement, and postoperative complications were recorded.Results: A total number of 150 patients were included in the study. In the CB group, urinary retention was observed. No side effects were observed in the sacral ESPB group. The 4th and 6th h postoperative FLACC scores were lower in the ESP group. The number of analgesic consumption in the first 24 h postsurgery was significantly lower in the ESPB group (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Based on our results, sacral ESPB performed with ultrasonography is a simple and safe regional anesthesia method that can be used to provide effective postoperative analgesia for circumcision.","PeriodicalId":23414,"journal":{"name":"Urologia Internationalis","volume":" ","pages":"292-297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140144146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
