Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) describes common noncancerous prostate enlargement. BPH is usually associated with lower urinary tract symptoms and an increased risk of cerebrovascular diseases, su...
A total of 788 male patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2019 to September 2021 were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. BPH was assessed by abdomina...
Patients with BPH presented an increased risk of WMHs with a crude odds ratio (OR) of 2.76 (95% CI, 2.02-3.79) and an adjusted OR of 1.75 (95% CI, 1.24-2.48) after controlling for potential confoundin...
We found that BPH was closely associated with WMHs in male Chinese individuals....
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men. It is characterized by prostatic enlargement and urethral compression and often causes lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs) such a...
Noninvasive methods for the early identify diagnosis of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa) are current clinical challenges....
The serum metabolites of 20 healthy individuals and patients with prostatitis, BPH, or PCa were identified using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In addition, targeted LC-MS...
Organic acid metabolites had good sensitivity and specificity in differentiating prostatitis, BPH, and PCa. Three diagnostic models identified patients with PROSTATITIS: phenyllactic acid (area under ...
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is often indicated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Some patients, however, fail to adequately respond to these interventions. Accordingly, a powe...
Clinical data from 356 BPH subjects who underwent TURP were retrospectively collected between November 2015 and June 2021 for nomogram development. The prediction model was developed using multivariab...
In multivariate analysis of the primary cohort, the independent factors for TURP efficacy were age, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP), bladder wall t...
The P.R.OS.T.A.T.E nomogram objectively and accurately predicted TURP efficacy, thereby facilitating the clinical decision-making process....
This observational comparative study aimed at investigating the diagnostic accuracy of ERG in differentiating benign and malignant prostatic lesions and comparing it to the diagnostic accuracy of AMAC...
Seventy- two cases (22 prostatic hyperplasia and 50 prostatic carcinoma) were collected from the pathology department at Cairo university. The cases were immunostained by antibodies against AMACR and ...
AMACR showed 62% sensitivity and 86.4% specificity for the diagnosis of PC, with a statistically significant differential expression in benign and malignant lesions (P=0.001). Its expression also corr...
Although ERG proved no superior value than AMACR in diagnosing prostatic lesions, combining both markers may lead to higher diagnostic accuracy owing to higher ERG specificity for PC....
Prostate cancer (PCA) is one of the leading causes of death among men, being related to several factors, including the aging male population, like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a histopathologic...
348 samples were analyzed, being 123 from PCA patients, 143 BPH patients and 82 healthy controls, using PCR-RFLP techniques. The results of genotyping analysis were adjusted by age, and compared with ...
Our data indicate the FASLCC genotype as a risk factor for prostate pathologies, whileBCL-2 CC can act as a protective genotype....
To observe the efficacy and safety of transurethral columnar balloon dilation of the prostate (TUCBDP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a multicenter trial....
This multicenter study included 2050 patients with BPH who underwent TUCBDP from 11 cities of Zhejiang Province, from September 2015 to June 2021. Clinical assessment included recording and measuremen...
One month after surgery, the patients' IPSS score, QoL, and PVR were significantly decreased, while the Qmax, IIEF-5, and MSHQ-EjD-SF scores were increased considerably, compared with preoperative dat...
Collectively, TUCBDP may effectively improve the urinary and sexual function of BPH patients, with fewer postoperative complications, and its efficacy is not limited by age and prostate volume. It can...
As men age, a growing number develop benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). According to previous research, diabetes may be a risk factor. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) is closely related to glu...
With an increasing reliance on online sources for medical information, we studied the quality and completeness of health literacy videos on TikTok regarding BPH....
A cross-sectional systematic evaluation of TikTok videos using the search term "Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia" was performed on 14th April 2023, and included 49 patient information and educational vide...
Of the 49 videos, 38 were created by healthcare professionals (HCPs). The average length of each video was 62.7 ± 59.3 s, with a large average number of total views (24,990.1 ± 109,534.9 views). The D...
BPH videos on TikTok have a wide reach, but the videos are mostly of low quality and completeness. Future videos should be made with quality and completeness in mind given the large viewership and mor...
Prostate hyperplasia and cancer are more prevalent in middle-aged and elderly men. Previous studies have linked both disorders to androgen receptors. Herein, efforts were made to identify factors asso...
An analytical framework was established utilizing the "Prostate Cancer Early Warning Dataset" from the National Clinical Medical Science Data Center. Variables selection was conducted through LASSO re...
A total of 1,502 patients with BPH and 294 with combined PCa were hereby included. Multivariate regression delineated several independent predictors of PCa coexistence, including age (OR [95% CI]: 1.0...
The analysis revealed connections between PCa occurrence in men aged over 60 and BPH, along with specific serum biomarkers such as inorganic phosphorus, globulin, LDL cholesterol, lower fPSA/tPSA rati...
