Purpose: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most common conditions seen by a general urologist. Validated questionnaires provide insight into patient symptoms, however office based uroflow devices are limited by the variability of voiding behavior. Using a home uroflow device, we assessed individual voiding variability, temporal distribution of voiding parameters and the impact of age on voiding.

Transcription factors (TFs) fine-tune the host defense transcriptome in response to pathogen invasions. No information is available on Zingiber zerumbet (Zz) TFs involved in defense response against Pythium myriotylum. Here, we provide a global identification, characterization, and temporal expression profiling of Zz TFs following an incompatible interaction with P.

Objectives: The puboprostatic ligaments, puboperinealis muscle, and arcus tendineus are all recognized as important for continence in men and women. This complex of ligaments, muscles, and tendineus aponeurosis acts in unison to provide continence and can be disrupted during robotic prostatectomy. We propose that preservation of the puboprostatic collar during robotic surgery will help to restore early continence in men undergoing robotic prostatectomy.
