OBJECTIVE To assess the role of dutasteride in preventing clinical progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia in asymptomatic men with larger prostates. DESIGN Post hoc analysis of four year, double blind Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events (REDUCE) study PARTICIPANTS 1617 men randomised to dutasteride or placebo with a prostate size >40 mL and baseline International Prostat...

tau.amegroups.com © Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is almost always regarded as the standard in the surgical treatment for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). However, TURP is not uncommonly associated with perioperative morbidities, which are directly related to prostate volume and surgically high-risk patients with asso...

Abstract Aim Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant prostate gland enlargement of unknown cause that affects more than 50% men over 60 and the most common bladder outlet obstruction voiding symptoms. BPH treated primarily with watchful waiting, phytotherapy, medical or surgical options. In this study, we sought to examine different management practices in African urological centr...

Using a 0.5 tesla superconducting magnetic system, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were performed in 42 patients (27 prostatic carcinoma and 15 benign prostatic hyperplasia) and 2 healthy volunteers. Spin echo images were produced in the transverse, coronal and sagittal directions. T1 and T2 relaxation times were calculated from these images. The images of 2 normal prostates showed 2 s...

PURPOSE The incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases among obese individuals, but few studies have fully explained the underlying mechanisms. Adiponectin has drawn much attention in recent years due to its protective role in obesity-related diseases. Here we aimed to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms and clinical significance of adiponectin in relation to benign prostatic...

This work investigated the spectrum-effect relationships between high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints and the anti-benign prostatic hyperplasia activities of aqueous extracts from Saxifraga stolonifera. The fingerprints of S. stolonifera from various sources were established by HPLC and evaluated by similarity analysis (SA), hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and princ...

Adult prostatic stromal sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor. The main presenting symptom is urinary retention secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. Prostatic Specific Antigen level can be normal. Imaging features show a prostate mass with or without pelvic organ invasion depending on the aggressiveness of the tumor. We present a patient with prostatic stromal sarcoma who debuted with urinary o...

Old intact male dogs are often predisposed to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Both hypertrophy and hyperplasia of prostate gland occur due to hormonal influences. Clinical signs such as haematuria, stranguria and tenesmus are often associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. A seven year-old local breed intact male dog was presented with a primary complaint of haematuria and stranguria. Diagnos...
