Uroflowmetry (UF) is a crucial guideline-recommended tool for men with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Moreover, UF helpful decision-making the management of patients lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and hyperplasia (BPH). In last few years, telemedicine telehealth have increased exponentially as cost-effective treatment options both physicians. Telemedicine been well positioned during COVID-19 pandemic to prevent healthcare system overload ensure adequate through screening,...
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains a formidable diagnostic challenge, especially in the context of small renal masses. The quest for non-invasive screening tools and biomarkers has steered research towards liquid biopsy, focusing on microRNAs (miRNAs), exosomes, circulating tumor cells (CTCs). MiRNAs, non-coding RNAs, exhibit notable dysregulation RCC, offering promising avenues diagnosis prognosis. Studies underscore their potential across various biofluids, including plasma, serum, urine,...
Bacterial prostatitis (BP) is a common prostatic infection characterized by pain and urinary symptoms, often with negative bacterial cultures from secretions. It affects young older men bimodally impacts quality of life (QoL) significantly. Background Objectives: Treatment typically involves antibiotics, but multimodal approach additional nutraceuticals may enhance outcomes. This study aimed to assess the efficacy Butirprost® in association fluoroquinolones patients chronic (CBP). Materials...
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key through which infectious and non-infectious challenges act with consequent activation of the inflammatory cascade that plays a critical function in various acute chronic diseases, behaving as amplification chronicization factors response. Previous studies have shown synthetic analogues lipid A based on glucosamine few chains unsaturated saturated fatty acids, bind MD-2 inhibit TLR4 receptors. These compounds showed antagonistic activity against vitro by...
Bacterial prostatitis (BP) is a common prostatic infection characterized by bimodal distribution in young and older men, with prevalence between 5-10% among all cases of high impact on quality life. Although the management bacterial involves use appropriate spectrum antibiotics, which represent first choice treatment, multimodal approach encompassing antibiotics nutraceutical products order to improve efficacy chosen antimicrobial regimen often required.To evaluate Flogofilm® association...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition affecting aging men worldwide. Among the treatment options available for BPH, transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) gold-standard invasive intervention. To reduce TURP-related non-negligible morbidity, loss-of-ejaculation rate, hospitalization, blood loss and catheterization time several laser techniques have been developed, such as Thulium Laser Enucleation Prostate (ThuLEP). investigate efficacy outcomes ThuLEP option...
ABSTRACT Background This study aims to assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and prostate volume, utilizing pre postoperative measurements. Methods A retrospective, observational was conducted at a single site using data from an institutional database. Medical records of patients who underwent robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy were reviewed. Data included age, BMI, volumes measured through digital rectal exam (DRE), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), magnetic resonance imaging...
The aim of this study was to investigate the role preoperative Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte ratio (MLR) as a potential predictor bladder cancer (BC).Clinical data patients who underwent TURBT at our institution between 2017 and 2021 were collected retrospectively analysed. MLR obtained from blood analyses performed within 1 month hospital admission. association with different clinic-pathological features histological reports further Statistical analysis using Kruskal Wallis test for non-parametric...
To evaluate the use of ureteral access sheaths (UAS) in reducing operative time and complications, as well improving stone-free rates (SFR), while assessing their overall safety efficiency.
BACKGROUND: Black men residing in Western countries are more likely to develop prostate cancer (PCa), have higher mortality and younger than the general population at initial diagnosis. In addition genetic environmental factors, reasons for these racial disparities can also be attributed social determinants of health such as low literacy this poor awareness services. Little is known about laboratory tests PCa black men.METHODS: preliminary study. we investigated whether ethnicity affect PSA...
Peyronie's disease affects up to 9% of men and is often accompanied by pain and/or erectile dysfunction. It characterized an inflammatory process that the grassroots subsequent fibrosis stage. There unmet need evaluate its onset progression. Among newly proposed biomarkers inflammation, authors developed a novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) based on lymphocyte, neutrophil, platelet counts. Similarly, recent study reported neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) represents...
