[Parameters of nocturnal penile tumescence monitoring as potential predictors of the coronary heart disease].

Aim: To determine the possibilities of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) monitoring in the detection of coronary heart disease (CHD).

Materials And Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in the study, of them 50 men had a confirmed diagnosis of CHD and 50 patients consisted the control group. In all patients, flow-dependent vasodilation of the brachial artery and pulse wave velocity were evaluated.

[Herpes viruses and human papillomavirus in prostate cancer: first results].

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) are among the most common urological diseases in men. It has been repeatedly suggested that viral infection plays an important role in prostate carcinogenesis.

Aim: To assess the relationship between viral infection and PCa, as well as the clinical and morphological features of BPH and PCa.

[Efficacy of fesoterodine for prevention of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder after spinal cord injury].

Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of fesoterodine for the prevention of autonomic dysreflexia (AD) in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD) after spinal cord injury (SCI).

Materials And Methods: a total of 53 patients with AD were included in the study. In the main group (n=33) patients received fesoterodine 4 mg per day for 12 weeks as a treatment for neurogenic bladder dysfunction and prevention of AD.

Pilot ex vivo study on non-thermal ablation of human prostate adenocarcinoma tissue using boiling histotripsy.

Focused ultrasound technologies are of growing interest for noninvasive ablation of localized prostate cancer (PCa). Here we present the results of the first case study evaluating the feasibility of non-thermal mechanical ablation of human prostate adenocarcinoma tissue using the boiling histotripsy (BH) method on ex vivo tissue. High intensity focused ultrasound field was generated using a 1.

[Not Available].

Purpose: Assessment of COVID-19 incidence and hospitalization rate of male patients with prostatic hyperplasia depending on the intake of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5-ARI).

Materials And Methods: In our study, electronic medical records of 1678 patients with prostatic hyperplasia were analyzed. 1490 men aged 71 (64-76) years were selected for final analysis.
