    The Risk Factor and The Severity of Symptoms Relation in Women with Overactive Bladder
    (2015) Egilmez, Mehmet Tulga; 0000-0001-5644-5672; AAK-9166-2021
    Aim: To investigate whether risk factors for overactive bladder (OAB) in women are associated with symptom severity and to assess the impact of symptom severity on the quality of life. Material and Method: Symptoms of 100 female patients (aged, 47.70 +/- 12.34 years) who were diagnosed with OAB were assessed using the Boyarsky symptom score (BSS). Data for age, educational status, body mass index (BMI), chronic disease, vaginal deliveries, constipation, smoking, consumption of alcohol, tea, coffee, or carbonated drinks and diets involving spicy food were recorded. Subcategories for each factor regarding quantity were established. The findings were statistically correlated with the BSS and with each urinary symptom individually. Each patient's quality-of-life (QoL) scores were correlated with the severity of each symptom and the total, obstructive and irritative BSS. Results: Urgency was related with BMI, spicy food, vaginal deliveries, menopause, and advanced age. Nocturia had a relation with menopause and advanced age. Total BSS was significantly correlated with coffee consumption. Irritative BSS was correlated with menopause and advanced age and obstructive BSS was correlated with constipation. Total and irritative BSS were both positively correlated with the QoL score. Discusion: Risk factors can affect the severity of symptoms and these factors should be considered when planning therapy.

    Urachal Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report with 4-Year Follow-up
    (2023) Kayra, Mehmet Vehbi; Kahraman, Oguzhan; Egilmez, Mehmet Tulga; Hasbay, Bermal; 0000-0003-3691-8617; 0000-0002-7349-9952; AAC-8630-2022; AAK-8372-2021
    The urachus is an embryological remnant that lies between the bladder and umbilicus as a fibrous band that attaches the cloaca to the allantois in the intrauterine period. Urachal adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor and more aggressive in behavior than primary bladder tumors. In this case report, we present a 37 years old female patient with urachal adenocarcinoma in whom transurethral resection of the bladder revealed a signet ring adenocarcinoma of the bladder with invasion of the muscularis propria. The patient had left manubrium sterni and bone marrow infiltration. Partial cystectomy and sternal resection were performed, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. There was no recurrence or new metastasis at the 4-year follow-up. In conclusion, a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is a suitable approach for the treatment of oligo-metastatic urachal carcinoma.
