The cause and nature of bladder symptoms in patients with genuine Parkinson’s disease (PD) may be difficult to establish and treatment is often unsatisfactory. Typically patients present with longstanding neurological disease, the bladder symptoms coming on some years after treatment for PD was started. A recent study has shown that the severity of urinary symptoms is related to the neurologica...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...

It has been reported that blockade of α1A-adrenoceptor (AR) relieves bladder outlet obstruction, while blockade of α1D-AR is believed to alleviate storage symptoms due to detrusor overactivity. Silodosin, (-)-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-5-[(2R)-2-({2-[2-(2,2,2trifluoroethoxy) phenoxy]ethyl}amino)propyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-7- carboxamide, is a new α1A-AR selective antagonist. Silodosin is highly sele...

Hypothesis / aims of study Among dialysis patients urine production is kept, complaining of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are observed, some were reported underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, there are many patients with complications having difficulty in surgery , it is often managed by a placement of catheter. Dutasteride (DUT) reduces prostate volume and i...

PURPOSE The deleted in liver cancer-1 (DLC-1) gene that encodes a Rho GTPase-activating protein with tumor suppressor function is located on chromosome 8p21-22, a region frequently deleted in prostate carcinomas. This study was designed to determine whether DLC-1 is deregulated in prostate carcinomas and to assess the contribution of DLC-1 alterations to prostate carcinogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL ...

Differences in stromal and epithelial cell staining for androgen and glucocorticoid receptors (ARs and GRs) were investigated in 20 patients with clinically localized prostatic carcinoma treated by radical prostatectomy. Sections of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma from each patient were stained with antibodies to AR and GR using an avidin-biotin peroxidase technique. The sp...
