Purpose: To assess the effects of in the treatment of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) consistent with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Materials And Methods: We performed a comprehensive search using multiple databases up to September 2022 with no language or publication status restrictions. We included parallel-group randomized controlled trials of participants with BPH who were treated with or placebo/no treatment.
Purpose: To describe and compare the recurrence rates in contact or collision (CC) sports after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) and to compare the recurrence rates in CC versus non-collision athletes after ABR.
Methods: We followed a prespecified protocol registered with PROSPERO (registration No. CRD42022299853).
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate, which can lead to obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The pharmacologic use of plants and herbs (phytotherapy) for the treatment of LUTS associated with BPH is common. The extract of the berry of the American saw palmetto or dwarf palm plant, Serenoa repens (SR), which is also known by its botanical name of Sabal serrulatum, is one of several phytotherapeutic agents available for the treatment of BPH.

Purpose: To analyze the rate of recurrences after arthroscopic Bankart repair in the long term, emphasizing whether a minimum follow-up of 2 years is adequate to assess this outcome.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Background: Literature is scarce regarding the influence of psychological readiness on return to sports after shoulder instability surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive ability of the Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport after Injury (SIRSI) score in measuring the effect of psychological readiness on return to sports and to compare it between athletes who returned to sports and athletes who did not return to sports.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful treatment for hip osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia. However, the reported rate of complications following THA in the settings of neuromuscular diseases is high. This systematic review aimed to analyze the indications, functional outcomes and surgical failures of primary THA in cerebral palsy (CP) patients.

Design And Setting: Overview of systematic reviews (SRs).
Search Methods: In October 2021, we searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo and Epistemonikos placing no restrictions on language or date of publication.
Purpose: To assess the effects of alone or in combination with other phytotherapy compared to placebo in men with LUTS due to benign prostatic enlargement.
Materials And Methods: Following a registered protocol (CRD42021226655), we searched (December 2020) MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO-ICTRP trials platform and other sources with no restrictions on language, publication date or status.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) consists of a rapid renal function decline which usually increases serum urea and creatinine levels. Since kidney injury begins by inducing biological and molecular changes which evolve to cellular damage, biomarkers could be used as tools for monitoring early AKI appearance, and predicting its recovery. Among the main AKI biomarkers the neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin C, kidney injury molecule-1, monocyte chemotactic peptide-1, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, interleukin-18, liver-type fatty acid-binding protein, netrin-1, cycle arrest markers, endogenous ouabain, selenium-binding protein 1, and BPIFA2 marker, have been described.
