Öğe Evaluation of the Reliability, Utility, and Quality of theInformation in Testicular Cancer Self-examVideos Shared on YouTube(2020) Taş, Tuncay; Arda, Ersan; Çakıroğlu, Basri; Uçar, TahaObjective: The aim of this study was to assess the testicular cancer self-examination (TSE) videos on YouTube. Material and Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the content, reliability and quality of internet videos related to TSE. The search engine of YouTube® was queried for the keyword ‘TSE’ in April 01, 2019. Videos were scaled according to the time since upload day, running time, number of comments and number of like/dislike. All videos were also categorized according to source into 3 groups: Health information websites/TV programs; independent users; university channels/medical professionals. DISCERN questionnaire score (DISCERN) Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria (JAMAS), Global Quality Scores (GQS), TSE-Comprehensiveness (TSE-C) and Video Power Index (VPI) were used. Results: Total of 68 videos were included and 32 of videos were excluded due to being unrelated or repeated. When VPI values were examined according to the video source, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). According to the video source, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of DISCERN scores (p=0.049) and TSE-C scores (p=0.019). DISCERN scores of the videos whose source is university channels/medical professionals are higher than the DISCERN scores of the videos whose source is independent users (p=0.042). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of JAMAS scores (p=0.009). Conclusion: It is concluded that the information of TSE videos on YouTube is a weak source when evaluated in terms of reliability, benefit and quality.Öğe Retrospective Analysis of Penile in Superficial Dorsal Vein Thrombosis(2020) Taş, Tuncay; Çakıroğlu, Basri; Arda, Ersan_Penile superficial venous throm-bosis is a rare and little-known benign genital condition. The largest series of penile superficial venous thrombosis cases in literature include 25 and 30 patients.Material and Methods_ A retrospective eva-luation was made of the data of 23 patients who were treated and followed up for a diagnosis of PMD in the Urology Outpatient Clinic between January 2009 and January 2018. Anamnesis, su-perficial vein color Doppler ultrasonography and routine laboratory analysis (i.e. blood count, elect-rolytes and coagulation tests) were applied to the patients. A conservative approach was provided the use of NSAIDs, anti-coagulant agents and to-pical Arnica Montana, and avoidance of the sexual activity. Follow-up examinations were made after 1, 3, 5, and 8 weeks and 3 months of treatment. Clinical improvement was evaluated.Results_ The age of the patients in the study was mean 42.4 ±11.12 years and median 44 ye-ars (range, 22-66 years). The mean BMI of the patients was 28.5±2.48 (range, 22.91-34.31). The mean period between the onset of symptoms and presentation was 9.35±13.42 days, median 4 days, and range, 1-60 days. On presentation, all the pa-tients had painless palpable cord symptoms. In 20 patients, the thrombotic vein could not be deter-mined externally. The diameter of the thrombosis was mean 3.09±1.04mm and median 3mm (range, 1.8–5). The diameter of the obstructed veins ran-ged from 1.3 to 4.7 mm. No pathological findings were determined in the standard laboratory tests of all 23 patients. The lesions were found to be pa-rallel to the sulcus below the coronal sulcus in 8 patients , and 15 patients had a cord-like lesion on the dorsal penis. The venous color Doppler ultra-sound results were similar for all the patients. No color filling and flow spectrum was observed inthe lumen of the superficial vein on color Doppler US. In the etiology, prolonged sexual activity was determined in 8 patients, prolonged masturbation in 5, the use of a vacuum erection device in 3, and 7 patients were idiopathic. Only 1 patient had a history of PMD deve-lopment. Conservative treatment was applied to 21 of the 23 cases. Thrombectomy was required in 2 cases. At follow-up examination, two recurrent episodes were observed.Conclusions_ Penile Mondor’s disease is rare, but causes notice-able anxiety in patients. The results of this study demonstrate the effect of trauma in the etiology. Patients generally recover with conservative treatment, and occasionally surgical treatment may be necessary_
