We aimed to provide guidelines for the evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and basic information about diagnostic testing, drug therapy, and surgical treatment. The target population in which to apply the guideline is men over 40 years of age who complain of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The intended users of this guideline are all physicians who ...

Mobile computing consistently fails to live up to expectations. Early adopters complain about the size and resolution of displays, awkward input devices and limited bandwidth (Dix and Beale 1996). There is every reason to assume that the complaints will be exacerbated for mobile CSCW, since most collaborative computing is computationally intensive, often synchronous and visual. In addition, com...

Diagnosing UTIs is done through a combination of clinical history, examination, and laboratory tests. Infants and the elderly may present with no symptoms at all.

Although rare, ocular reticulum cell sarcoma presents a recognisable clinical pattern, as confirmed by 3 new cases. Typical patients, in their sixth and seventh decades, initially complain of gradual visual loss. Examination reveals 'uveitis' with prominent vitreous debris and/or chorioretinal infiltrative lesions. Topical steroid and mydriatic therapy is ineffective. Reticulum cell sarcoma in ...

Nipple discharge is a common symptom women complain of.

Patients may complain of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. If not aggressively treated, fulminant hepatic failure may develop within several days of ingestion. In this case report, a patient poisoned with Amanita bisporigera is described, along with the ...

Children are by nature apprehensive and do perceive pain as adults do. But young children, do not always or readily complain vocally of discomfort. When chronic discomfort is punctuated by acute distress of diagnostic or therapeutic intrusions, relief may be obtained for some children by various analgesic-anesthetic agents. Although the ideal 'intravenous' analgesic-anesthetic agent is yet to b...

Sometimes we see patients with disappearing vermilion totally or in some parts. It seems that the marginal skin has advanced to the lip surface with the same color. It occurs mainly in lower lip. The majority of patients had history of recurrent herpes labialis on their lips, in the same location as disappearing vermilion. Disappearing vermilion is not accompanied by any change in consistency o...

Metastatic renal cell cancer is not exceptional in kidney cancer (30% of patients with kidneyl cancer). Its prognosis is particularly severe. However, sciatic neuralgia (sciatica) remains an exceptional revealing clinical sign of this disease. The authors report the case of a patient admitted with right sciatica as chief complain, leading to the discovery of a renal cell carcinoma. Although unc...
