An Innovative Approach To Lifelong Delayed Ejaculation: Does Attachment Style Play a Role
(Springer, 2022) Demir, Murat; Isik, Mesut; Araz, Seyhmuz; Ozveren, Huseyin; Kirli, Umut; Ertas, Kasim
Purpose To examine whether there is a correlation between attachment styles, which is a developmental psychology theory, and lifelong DE. Methods The research was planned as prospective, multi-centric and cross-sectional study. Thirty patients who were consecutively admitted to the urology outpatient clinic and diagnosed with lifelong DE and 30 age-matched healthy controls were included in the study. All participants gave a detailed medical history and underwent a complete physical examination, and their laboratory and endocrine (prolactin and testosterone) results were evaluated. Additionally, all patients had to fill out socio-demographic information form, the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Questionnaire, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results The mean age of the DE patients was 33.5 +/- 7.5 years. In the DE group, insecure attachment (both anxious and avoidant attachment), anxiety and depression scores were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.001, effect size medium or large) than the control group. Ejaculation times (both for vaginal intercourse and masturbation) were correlated with both insecure (anxious and avoidant) attachment types, as well as their anxiety and depression scores (p < 0.001). The ASEX satisfaction, ejaculation and total scores were found to be higher in DE patients (higher scores indicating greater sexual dysfunction) than in the control group. Conclusion The large and significant relationships found between lifelong DE and attachment insecurities point to childhood developmental processes. The findings may help us better understand lifelong DE. There is a need for further extensive research on this subject.
Pregnancy and Renal Cyst Hydatid Disease: Case Report
(Academic Journals, 2012) Gecit, Ilhan; Pirincci, Necip; Taken, Kerem; Eryilmaz, Recep; Ozveren, Huseyin; Deveci, Serkan
Hydatid cyst disease is an important health problem in many countries, including Turkey. While it can impact any organ, it is most often found in the lung and liver. Renal involvement is relatively rare. A diagnosis of renal cystic hydatidosis was established with ultrasound and magnetic resonance in a 22 year old patient who was 25 weeks pregnant after she presented with severe right flank pain. Albendazol was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. She was closely followed during her pregnancy. At 38 weeks, she gave birth to a healthy baby via vaginal delivery. Following her delivery, the cyst was resected. Post-operatively, she completed an 8 week course of albendazol at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. 1 year later, the patient has done well with no complications. We presented this case to highlight the lack of consensus in regards to the treatment of renal hydatid cyst disease in pregnancy.
Serum Adenosine Deaminase, Catalase, and Carbonic Anhydrase Activities in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Pirincci, Necip; Kaya, Tacettin Yekta; Kaba, Mehmet; Ozan, Tunc; Gecit, Ilhan; Ozveren, Huseyin; Ceylan, Kadir
Objectives: To determine whether serum levels of adenosine deaminase (AD), catalase (CAT), and carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes may be useful biomarkers in the diagnosis of renal tumors and may lead to early diagnosis of renal tumors. Material and methods: The study included 33 patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 31 healthy controls. The activity of serum AD, CA, and CAT was determined and analyzed using the Giusti spectrophotometric method, H2O2 substrate, and C0(2) hydration, respectively. Results: Serum AD and CA activity were significantly higher in patients with RCC than in controls. However, serum CAT activity was significantly lower in patients with RCC than in controls. Conclusion: These markers might be potentially important as an additional biochemical tool for diagnosing RCC. We believe multidisciplinary studies are needed to plan patients' preoperative and postoperative treatment and to create follow-up protocols.
Serum Levels of Trace Elements in Patients With Prostate Cancer
(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2014) Kaba, Mehmet; Pirincci, Necip; Yuksel, Mehmet Bilgehan; Gecit, Ilhan; Gunes, Mustafa; Ozveren, Huseyin; Demir, Halit
Background: Trace elements are major components of biological structures; however, excessive levels of these elements can be toxic. Materials and Methods: In the present study, serum levels of trace elements were measured in 30 patients with newly diagnosed as prostate cancer and 32 healthy volunteer by using furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results: It was found that there was an increase in serum levels of Co, Cu, Mg and Pb (p<0.05), whereas a decrease in serum levels of Fe, Mn, and Zn levels in patients with prostate cancer (p<0.05). Conclusions: These changes may be important in the pathogenesis of prostate cancers; however, further prospective studies are needed to identify relationships between prostate cancer and trace elements.
