One hundred and six prostatic tissue samples obtained from transurethral resection were analysed for androgen and estrogen receptors. In 62 of these, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors were also assayed. Steroid receptors were assayed using single saturation dose 3H-labelled ligand assays. Ninety percent of the 97 prostatic hyperplasia tissues and six of the nine prostatic carcinoma tiss...

Prostatic abscesses are usually related to gram-negative bacilli. However, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a substantial cause of prostatic abscesses in recent years. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old man with a history of orthotopic liver transplantation 10 years ago who presented with acute onset dysuria and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a M...

PURPOSE We reviewed the evidence that benign prostatic hyperplasia is a progressive condition and men at risk for benign prostatic hyperplasia disease can be identified, treated and protected to a meaningful extent regardless of symptom status. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MEDLINE database was searched in 4 areas of interest relating to benign prostatic hyperplasia, including 1) progression of c...

Disease conditions affecting the canine prostate gland are encountered frequently in small animal practice. The most common conditions affecting the canine prostate include benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, prostatic cysts, and prostatic neoplasia. Clinical signs associated with each of these conditions often overlap; therefore, it is important to reach a definitive diagnosis prior to ...

we assessed the lower urinary tract symptoms (luts) in prostatic cancer patients and investigated the sensitivity and specificity of international prostate symptom score (ipss) in the screening of these patients. a total number of 132 prostatic cancer patients as the case group who were confirmed by the pathologists and 101 noncancerous men as the control group, aged 50 or older, responded to a...

background : a single nucleotide variation within  atechol-o-methyl transferase (comt) gene may alter the comt enzyme activity level. polymorphism of val158met in the comt gene has been related to malignancy. in this regard, a study was carried out to find a possible association between the comt gene polymorphism in patients with sporadic prostate cancer (pca) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (...

Prostatic involvement by urothelial carcinoma in patients with bladder cancer is a frequent finding and their prognostic significance and implication for the management of these patients has been the subject of study for many years. In one of the largest series of radical cystoprostatectomy with 995 patients with bladder cancer, Moschini M et al have shown that prostatic involvement by urotheli...

BACKGROUND Prostate gland of male reproductive system is about the size of walnut and surrounds the urethra. Most frequently encountered diseases affecting prostate are Prostatitis, Benign prostatic hyperplasia and Prostatic cancer .Our objective of study was to evaluate the spectrum and correlation of prostatic lesions with presenting complaints of patient. METHODS It was a cross-sectional s...

Baby hamster kidney or HeLa cells form tumors in 100% of athymic nude mice. When such cells are persistently infected (PI) with RNA viruses, such as mumps or measles virus, the tumor cells either fail to grow or form circumscribed benign nodules. Neither the parental nor the virus PI tumor cells form invasive or metastatic lesions in nude mice. Previous studies have indicated a correlation betw...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...
