Using heat-induced protein denaturation technique, a series of novel synthesized 1,5-diarylpyrazole compounds, namely 2-methoxy-4-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenol (1) and its aminomethyl derivatives (2a-e) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potentiality. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated using FTIR, NMR (1H & 13C) and mass spectral data. The study found that the activity of aminomethyl derivatives (2a-e) was higher than that of parent compound
1. In this series, aminomethyl derivatives bearing dimethylamino-methyl, diethylaminomethyl and pyrrolidinomethyl moieties (2a, 2c and 2e, respectively) were more active than diclofenac sodium, which was used as a standard. A study on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) suggested that the activity of aminomethyl moiety of the compound was influenced by its pKa value. Thus, novel compounds act as potential anti-inflammatory agents.
Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi. Material & Methods: This research is an observational analytic with a cross sectional approach. The sample of this study includes 48 people using total sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out to test the hypothesis by the Spearman correlation test. Results: Based on the results of the Spearman correlation test analysis showed that there was a statistically significant relation (p=0.000) between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction. Conclusion: There is a significant relation between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi.
Purpose
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) compared to the standard fluoroscopy-guided PCNL.
Methods
This study is a comparative retrospective study obtained from medical records within the last 5 years of Raden Mattaher Hospital, Jambi. Patients were divided into 2 groups, fluoroscopy- and ultrasonography-guided PCNL with large kidney stone > 20 mm. Patient characteristics were divided into pre- and post-operative procedures and analyzed using SPSS ver. 25.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov–Smirnov, chi-square and/ Fischer’s exact test and p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Of 201 patients’ data from medical records were divided into ultrasound-guided and fluoroscopy-guided groups. Ultrasound-guided group were consisted of 89 patients and fluoroscopy-guided were of 112 patients. US Guided significantly identifies the severity of hydronephrosis compared to PCNL. The demographic data obtained age, sex, body mass index, and preoperative hemoglobin levels showed a normal distribution. On the post-operative results, significant results occurred in post-PCNL stent placement. Installation of a DJ stent alone is more commonly performed on fluoroscopy-guided PCNL procedures compared to ultrasound-guided PCNL. This had a positive impact on post-procedure outcomes, meaning that the post-operative outcome of ultrasound-guided PCNL was better than that of fluoroscopy-guided PCNL.
Conclusion
The reported data demonstrate that PCNL and ultrasound-guided has similar efficacy and complication rates with PCNL fluoroscopy-guided. This could be a good alternative in urological centers with no access to fluoroscopy. However, ultrasound-guided group was still associated with higher rate nephrostomy tube placement and longer surgery duration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
