Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer (PCa) development is influenced by genetic, environmental, and dietary factors, particularly interactions between chemical exposures and specific genetic variants related to detoxification and DNA repair.
- A meta-analysis involving over 60,000 participants identified significant associations between certain genetic variants (like SOD2, CAT, PON1, GSTP1, and GSTM1) and an increased risk of PCa, with GSTM1 showing the strongest link.
- While antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying enzymes are crucial in PCa progression, other risk factors, especially chemical exposures, should also be considered for a comprehensive understanding of PCa risk.
Purpose: Hypoandrogenism may have an association with urethral stricture. This study aimed to identify and quantify the association between testosterone levels and urethral stricture.
Materials And Methods: A case-control study was conducted from January 2019 to January 2021.
Introduction: The crisis in the SARSCoV-2 coronavirus causing COVID-19 is putting health systems around the world to the test. In a great effort to standardize the management and treatment guidelines, the different health authorities and scientific associations have tried to issue recommendations on how to act in this new and complex scenario. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the existing evidence and recommendations about urological emergency surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
