CONTEXT Interest in having alternatives in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of the Urolift® system for treating the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia. ACQUISITION OF EVIDENCE Systematic review of the literature through searches on PubMed, Cochrane Library, CRD, Clinical Trials and EuroScan, collecting indicators of efficacy and...

Enlargement of the prostate is an age-related, physiological process that is unique in human tissue. The prostate gland is the most common site of neoplastic disorders in men. Despite the growing impact of the various prostate diseases in terms of morbidity and mortality, the pathogenesis of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer remains poorly understood. This reflects the compl...

BACKGROUND Virtual touch tissue quantification (VTTQ) is a new, promising technique for detecting the stiffness of tissues. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of VTTQ and digital rectal examination (DRE) in discrimination between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PATIENTS AND METHODS VTTQ was performed in 209 prostate nodular lesions of 107 patients with...

This study discussed the effect of whole course comprehensive nursing after operation for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Eighty-six patients with BPH who were to undergo surgery divided into a control group and based on therapeutic method. 43 in each postoperatively given usual care group. The mental status, prostate symptoms, quality life, complications degree satisfaction compared before...

Prostate gland can be structurally evaluated by computed tomography (CT) with taking advantages of tomographic feature and post-contrast parenchymal changes. The current examination initiated to determine association between computed tomographic and cytological results in evaluation of canine prostate. Thirty mature male dogs were included and under gone by both CT and fine needle sampling of p...

Transurethral resection of the prostate is the most common surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, it doesn't work best for men with very large prostate and bladder stones. Herein we report our initial experience with concomitant laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and finger-assisted single-port transvesical enucleation of the prostate for the treatment of the condition.

Abstract Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease which causes various health problems for elderly men such as urinary retention, recurring tract infection and bladder stones. The aim of this study to evaluate the therapeutic effects Juniperus communis L . seed extract (JCS) on BPH in male Wistar rats. Methods To end, 30 rats were divided into 5 groups ( N = 6): group 1...

Abstract Background Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a more recent procedure for management Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia compared to open prostatectomy or Transurethral Resection Prostate. HoLEP not commonly done in Nigeria. The objective study was determine whether our initial experience with Abuja, favourably those other centres across world. Methods A retrospective on 40 ...

Introduction: Prostate cancer is among the most common malignancies in men which can be well-managed if early diagnosed. Nevertheless, to date, no accurate index has been detected order differentiate prostate from other benign conditions practically except biopsies that an invasive procedure. Objectives: The current study aimed assess values of urinary antigen 3 (PCA3) diagnosis. Patients and M...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by an enlargement of the prostate, causing lower urinary tract symptoms in elderly men worldwide. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of BPH is unclear. Anoctamin1 (ANO1) encodes a Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel (CaCC) that mediates various physiological functions. Here, we demonstrate that it is essential for testo...
