Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed non-skin solid cancers and is a leading cause of cancer-related death and the incidence increasing. Early diagnosis of the disease improves the outcomes. There is an urgent need for new biomarkers with greater discriminative precision for diagnosis, risk-stratification and treatment.

- Prostate cancer is a common and serious health issue in men over 70, prompting the study of preventive measures to reduce infection rates from transrectal prostate biopsies (PB).
- Researchers conducted a study with 544 patients, dividing them into three groups to test different antibiotic regimens prior to the biopsy.
- The results showed only 1.83% experienced infectious complications, with no significant difference between the antibiotic groups, suggesting that short-term prophylactic antibiotics like fosfomycin trometamol can be effective alternatives to traditional fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

December 2022
Introduction And Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and course of urinary tract infections (UTI) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their relationship to the method of bladder evacuation.
Materials And Methods: Patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to MS (n=111) were enrolled in the study. During one-year follow-up, clinical examination with urine culture was performed every 4 months or whenever symptoms occurred.
Purpose: To evaluate the short-term results of water vapor therapy (Rezūm) for BPH/LUTS in the first cohort of Czech patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients with BPH and moderate to severe LUTS (N = 76) who underwent Rezūm treatment from December 2019 to July 2020 were included in the prospective study. Prior to the procedure, they completed the IPSS and OABv8 questionnaires and underwent uroflowmetry, transrectal ultrasound of the prostate, and PSA sampling.
