In this paper, we address the tissue region retrieval problem in prostate histopathology: we search for tissue regions visually similar to a query region from a database of prostate tissue slide images. To achieve this goal, a gland-based method to compute the similarity between two tissue regions is adopted, in which we first need to segment glands and extract their features. The region simila...

Background: To study the histogenesis of prostate gland in human foetuses. ‘Prostates’ is a Greek word which literally means “one who stands before”, protector, guardian. It important from clinical point view as it undergoes benign enlargement fifth decade, hence attracting attention males around this age and simultaneously clinicians. Materials Methods: 100 foetuses different gestational ages ...

Today there is significant information indicating an effect of prolactin on the prostate gland. It has been shown to be involved in mechanisms leading to the synthesis of some proteins such as PSA and cathepsin D, synthesis of citrate and accumulation of zinc. Also, at the behavioral level, prolactin is known to control some aspects of reproduction, including documentation on the physiology of ...

The results of macro and micromorphological studies vesicoprostatic complex in dogs Canis familiaris aimed at establishing normative morphofunctional patterns features the urogenital apparatus were described. morphometric parameters organ non-castrated males, determined by somatotype breed affiliation, presented. Data reflecting variability norm structure gland are basic predicting development ...

T he prostate is a walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder in men. It surrounds the top portion of the male urethra (the tube that transports urine and semen out of the body). The gland’s main function is to produce semen (a thick fluid that nourishes and transports sperm). Prostate cancer (an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells originating in the prostate gland) is the most common...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of sonoelastography for prostate cancer detection. Ultrasound (US) B-mode and sonoelastographic volumes were acquired from five prostate glands ex vivo. Additionally, one more gland was imaged in vivo using a transrectal US probe. Semi-automatic algorithms were used to segment the surface of the gland from the B-mode volume and the tumors from sonoelas...

HOXB13, a member of the homeobox proteins family, is a key regulator of the epithelial differentiation in the prostate gland. HOXB13 is overexpressed during malignant progression of the prostatic tissue and suspected to contribute in the pathogenesis of the prostate gland. In androgen deprived conditions, HOXB13 is thought to act through inhibition of the tumour suppressor protein p21. Since HO...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through comparing CEUS parameters between BPH and normal person. METHODS A retrospective study of sixty BPH patients (aged 73.5 ± 20.5 years old) and thirty normal controls without prostate diseases (aged 75.3 ± 19.7 years old) who had ...

DIMITROV, R., P. YONKOVA and K. STAMATOVA, 2010. Comparative ultrasonogarphic study on prostate and bulbourethral glands of tomcat. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 521-525 12 sexually matured, clinically healthy European short hair tomcats, aged from one to two years, were studied. Transabdominal prepubic sonographic approach was used. The prostate gland was observed in three views. A perineal sonogr...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In recent years, brachytherapy involving permanent radioactive seed implantation has emerged as an effective modality for the management of cancer of prostate. 125 I-Ocu-Prosta seeds were indigenously developed and studies were carried out to assess the safety of the indigenously developed 125 I-Ocu-Prosta seeds for treatment of prostate cancer. METHODS Animal experime...
