    Can Eosinophil Count, Platelet Count, and Mean Platelet Volume Be a Positive Predictive Factor in Penile Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction Etiopathogenesis?
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2017) Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Goger, Yunus Emre; Sonmez, Leyla Ozturk; Aydin, Arif; Balasar, Mehmet; Kara, Cengiz
    Blood count parameters of patients referring with erectile dysfunction (ED) were examined in this study and it was investigated whether eosinophil count (EC), platelet count (PC), and mean platelet volume values among the suspected predictive parameters which may play a role in especially penile arteriogenic ED etiopathogenesis had a contribution on pathogenesis. Patients referring with ED complaint were evaluated. Depending on the medical story, ED degree was determined by measuring International Index of Erectile Function. Penile Doppler ultrasonography was taken in patients suspected to have vasculogenic ED. According to penile Doppler ultrasonography result, patients with arterial deficiency were included in the penile arteriogenic ED group and the patients with normal results were included in the nonvasculogenic ED group. A total of 36 patients participated in the study from the penile arteriogenic ED group and 32 patients from the nonvasculogenic ED group. Compared with the nonvasculogenic ED group, the penile arteriogenic ED group's low International Index of Erectile Function score, high EC, mean platelet volume and PC values were detected to be statistically significant (p < .001, p = .021, p = .018, p = .034, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed among the two groups when age, white blood cells, red blood cells, and hemoglobin values were considered. Pansystolic volume velocities were detected as statistically significantly low compared with the nonvasculogenic ED group in the measurements made in 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th minutes on the right and left sides in the penile arteriogenic ED group. High MPV value and PC is a significant predictive factor for penile arteriogenic ED and vasculogenic ED and high EC is specifically predictive of arteriogenic ED.

    Is There a Difference Between the Readabilities of Informed Consent Forms Used for Procedures in the Emergency Services of State and University Hospitals in Turkey?
    (EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ASSOC TURKEY, 2018) Sonmez, Leyla Ozturk; Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Ayranci, Mustafa Kursat; Evrin, Togay; Katipoglu, Burak; Cander, Basar
    Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the readability levels of informed consent forms (ICFs) used for procedures in the emergency services of state and university hospitals by comparing through readability formulas. Materials and Methods: ICFs used in emergency medicine clinics in different university and state hospitals in Turkey were collected, and forms that were the same were included in the evaluation only once. A total of 32 ICFs, with 15 from university hospitals and 17 from state hospitals, were evaluated. Average word number, syllable number, and words with syllable number of four and above were calculated. Different formulas were used to determine readability levels. Results: Although the readability of ICFs used in university hospitals was found to be better than those in state hospitals, the readability levels of the ICFs for both groups were detected to have medium difficulty according to the Atesman formula, very difficult according to the Flesch-Kincaid formula, difficult according to the Gunning-Fog formula, and at high school level according to the Bezirci-Yilmaz formula. Conclusion: In conclusion, the readability rates of emergency procedure ICFs in both state hospitals and university hospitals were detected to be rather low according to the present study. The education level of our country and the local environment should be considered while preparing these ICFs.

    Is there a relationship between penile vasculogenic erectile dysfunction, platelet functions and eosinophil count?
    (ELSEVIER ESPANA SLU, 2017) Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Sonmez, Leyla Ozturk; Goger, Yunus Emre; Aydin, Arif; Demirelli, Erhan; Boga, Mehmet Salih; Kara, Cengiz
    Purpose: Blood count parameters of patients referring with penile vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) were examined in this study. It was investigated whether eosinophil count (EC), platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV), values among the suspected predictive parameters which may affect vascular functions, have a contribution on ED pathology or not. Materials and methods: Patients referring erectile dysfunction complaint were evaluated. Depending on the medical story, ED degree was determined by measuring International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Values such as hormones, complete blood count and other laboratory markers were examined. Penile doppler ultrasonography (PDU) was performed in patients suspected to have vasculogenic ED. According to PDU result, patients with vascular deficiency were included in the penile vasculogenic ED group and patients with normal results were included in the control group. 49 patients participated in the study from the penile vasculogenic ED group and 30 patients from the control group. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the chi-square (chi(2)) test was used to assess the relationship between categorical variables within the patient groups. Results: Low IIEF score in vasculogenic ED group compared to the control group and high EC, MPV and PC values were detected to be statistically significant (p < 0.001, p = 0.026, p = 0.009, p = 0.029, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed among the two groups when age, white blood cells, red blood cells or hemoglobin values are considered (p = 0.332, p = 0.235, p = 0.127, p = 0.696, respectively). Conclusion: High MPV value and platelet count showing the platelet functions and high eosinophil count are important factors which may play a role in penile vasculogenic ED etiopathogenesis.

    Ischemic priapism: Can eosinophil count and platelet functions be positive predictive factors in etiopathogenesis
    (CANADIAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, 2017) Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Kara, Cengiz; Karaibrahimoglu, Adnan; Sonmez, Leyla Ozturk; Goger, Yunus Emre; Balasar, Mehmet; Taskapu, Hakki Hakan
    Introduction: We evaluated the relation between ischemic priapism (IP) and blood count parameters in IP patients. We especially wanted to examine the contribution of eosinophil count (EC), platelet count (PC), and mean platelet volume (MPV) values, which are suspected predictive parameters for vascular endothelium damage and venoocclusive pathogenesis and etiopathogenesis, particularly in IP. Methods: A total of 40 IP patients fulfilled the study criteria. Forty healthy volunteers in a similar age group were included as the control group. Complete blood count values were compared between the two groups. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between categorical variables in the patient groups. The area under the curve was calculated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) regression analyses. Epidemiological diagnosis percentages were calculated by finding cutoff values. Results: The IP group's high MPV, PC, and EC values compared to those of the control group were detected to be statistically significant (p<0.001, p=0,03, p=0.001, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups for other blood count parameters. Statistically significant values for IP were measured as MPV: positive predictive value: 84%; EC: positive predictive value: 71.4%; and PC: positive predictive value: 61.4%. Conclusions: High MPV, PC, and EC values are significant positive predictive factors in IP etiopathogenesis. No proof was detected for other blood count parameters playing an active role in IP etiopathogenesis.

    What should be done to minimize pain without any sexual function deterioration in transrectal prostate biopsy?
    (POLISH UROLOGICAL ASSOC, 2017) Sonmez, Mehmet Giray; Kozanhan, Betul; Demirelli, Erhan; Sonmez, Leyla Ozturk; Kara, Cengiz
    Introduction The aim of this study was to find an ideal method for the application of a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) without deteriorating patient comfort. Material and methods TRUS-Bx was applied in a total of 93 patients. Taking the application method into consideration, these patients were divided into three groups, each consisting of 31 patients. Methods applied for pain control in the different groups were compared (groups 1, 2 and 3). Age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, cancer detection rate, re-biopsy consent ratio, complication rates, visual analog scale (VAS), and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores were compared among the groups. Results Age, PSA, prostate volume, cancer detection rate, and fever complication rate were not statistically different between the three groups. However, a statistically significant difference was detected among the groups for the VAS measured during and after TRUS-Bx, re-biopsy consent ratio, and hematuria (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.027, respectively). There was no detected difference in pre-operation IIEF-5 scores, but the difference in IIEF-5 scores in the first month after the operation was significant (p = 0.116, p = 0.024, respectively). Conclusions Anal dilatation after the application of intrarectal topical anesthetic to provide anesthesia during TRUS-Bx and giving lidocaine hydrochloride with epinephrine for periprostatic nerve blockage (PNB) is a successful and effective method to maintain patient comfort, especially as it relates to pain control and sexual function. Anal dilatation seems to minimize any pain that may occur due to probe transition, and adding epinephrine as a vasopressor to the anesthetic agent chosen during the operation will be rather helpful for hemostasis control and pain that results from the needle.
