Comparing surgical techniques: ThuLEP and transurethral BPEP for prostate over 80 grams. Intraoperative and postoperative results. A prospective randomized trial.

Background And Purpose: Though TURP remains the primary treatment for BPH, advancements in energy and technology have introduced innovative transurethral surgical options. In this study, we assessed and compared the effectiveness and safety of using thulium laser and bipolar for endoscopic enucleation of prostate exceeding 80 g.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2022 and July 2023, this study enrolled patients with LUTS due to BPH and a prostate size of ≥80 g.

Molecular typing of Protoparvovirus carnivoran 1 in Egyptian cats diagnosed with feline panleukopenia.

Feline panleukopenia (FPL) in cats is caused by either feline parvovirus (FPV) or canine parvovirus (CPV-2), which belong to the same species "Protoparvovirus carnivoran 1". While FPV is widely recognized as the principal cause of FPL, CPV-2 has been detected at a higher rate than FPV in sick cats in a recent Egyptian study. To assess this conflict, the present study aimed to determine which Protoparvovirus carnivoran 1 is commonly associated with FPL in Egyptian cats.

Rosuvastatin Flexible Chitosomes: Development, In Vitro Evaluation and Enhancement of Anticancer Efficacy Against HepG2 and MCF7 Cell Lines.

Rosuvastatin (ROS), a statin drug with promising anticancer properties has a low bioavailability of approximately 20% due to lipophilicity and first-pass metabolism. This study aimed to enhance ROS anticancer efficacy through loading into flexible chitosomes. The chitosomes were prepared starting from negatively charged liposomes through electrostatic interactions with chitosan.
