Randomized Controlled Trial
No Effect of Music on Anxiety and Pain During Transrectal Prostate Biopsies: A Randomized Trial.
To investigate the effect of ambient music on anxiety and pain in men undergoing prostate biopsies. ⋯ This randomized study showed no difference in anxiety or pain scores for patients who had ambient music during transrectal prostate biopsy. Future studies are needed to discern the influence of details including method of music delivery, music type, and utilization of adjunct relaxation tools.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Can Listening to Music Decrease Pain, Anxiety, and Stress During a Urodynamic Study? A Randomized Prospective Trial Focusing on Gender Differences.
To evaluate the effect of listening to music on pain, anxiety, or stress during a urodynamic study (UDS). ⋯ In our study, music during UDS did not reduce anxiety, pain, and stress in either gender. In the analysis focusing on gender difference, female patients showed statistically higher levels of pain, anxiety, and stress scores than male patients whether listening to music or not.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Diclofenac Suppository as a Preemptive Analgesia in Ultrasound-guided Biopsy of Prostate: Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare preprocedure Diclofenac suppository and Xylocaine gel with Xylocaine gel only in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy of prostate for pain. ⋯ The mean pain score at the time of TRUS probe insertion, immediately after taking biopsy cores, and 2 hours after biopsy is statistically significantly higher in group B.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Adenotonsillectomy Normalizes Hormones and Urinary Electrolytes in Children With Nocturnal Enuresis and Sleep-Disordered Breathing.
To assess (1) plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and urinary levels of electrolytes in children with sleep disordered breathing (SDB), with or without nocturnal enuresis (NE), and (2) the effect of adenotonsillectomy (T&A) on urinary electrolytes and the secretion of ADH and BNP in children with NE and SDB. We previously reported post-T&A improvements in plasma levels of BNP and ADH in children with SDB and NE. However, the differences in plasma concentration of these hormones in SDB children with and without NE, and their relationships with urinary electrolytes, have not yet been addressed. ⋯ The presence of NE is associated with altered ADH and BNP levels in children with SDB. T&A led to normalization of ADH and BNP, probably through a calcium- and sodium-dependent mechanism.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Observational Study
Association Between Dosage Frequency and the Treatment Outcomes of Sildenafil in Young and Middle-aged Men With Erectile Dysfunction: A Chinese, Multicenter, Observational Study.
To evaluate the correlation between the dosage frequency of sildenafil and its treatment outcomes in men with erectile dysfunction (ED). ⋯ Higher dosage frequency of sildenafil is associated with a better improvement of sexual function and quality of life of men with ED, and the concomitant treatment of hyperlipidemia is recommended.
