Stating the contribution of Doppler ultrasound examination (DU) of prostatic vascularisation towards timely diagnosing prostate cancer. 87 patients with bioptically proven prostate cancer and 10 healthy young men of control group were examined by transrectal ultrasound in B mode, colour flow mapping (CFM) and Doppler frequency analysis. (DFA) The distribution of vessels in prostate is not speci...

A systematic review to identify risk factors for prostate biopsy-related infection, preventative strategies, and optimal management of infectious complications was conducted. Significant risk factors for postbiopsy infection include urogenital infection, antibiotic use, international travel, hospital exposure, bacteriuria, previous transrectal biopsy, and resistance of fecal flora to antibiotic...

Infectious complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) appear to be increasing, which reflects the high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains of Enterobacteriaceae. Identifying patients at high risk for antibiotic resistance with history taking is an important initial step. Targeted prophylaxis with a prebiopsy rectal swab culture or augmented antibiotic pro...

Transrectal ultrasound-guided core prostate biopsy is a key event in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, transient side events such as local pain, haematuria, haematospermia, dysuria, and rectal bleeding are reported in a large number of patients. Antimicrobial agents lower the incidence of postbiopsy infectious complications. The timing and duration of the regimen and the route of administration...

We report a rare manifestation of tuberculosis of the prostate and seminal vesicles without involvement of the rest of the genito-urinary tract. A 27-year-old male initially presented with clinical and laboratory evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Two weeks later, the patient developed dysuria. Ultrasound abdomen showed an enlarged prostate and seminal vesicles with irregular hypoechoic areas ...

OBJECTIVES To preclinically evaluate drug-eluting biopsy needles (patent pending WO2016118026) as a new potential way of antimicrobial prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy. METHODS Twenty steel biopsy needles have been coated with polyvinyl alcohol, ciprofloxacin, and amikacin. Modified biopsy needles have been randomly divided into 3 groups (1:2:1 ratio). Needles from group I were imm...
