Correlation between prostate volume measured by ultrasound and symptoms severity score in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy in Southeastern Nigeria.

Background: Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a common urological condition in men older than 50 years. It is important in the aetiologies of life-threatening obstructive uropathies. Ultrasound measurement of prostate volume is non-invasive, easily available, and a cost-effective method, useful in assessing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).

Correlation between Body Mass Index and Gleason Score in Men with Prostate Cancer in Southeastern Nigeria.

Introduction: Prostate cancer has an increasing global burden. The clinical course varies from an indolent disease to a rapidly aggressive cancer. It is associated with higher mortality in less developed nations due to late presentation.

Menu labeling, calories, and nutrient density: Evidence from chain restaurants.

The Food and Drug Administration's menu labeling rule requires chain restaurants to prominently display calories, while leaving other nutritional information (e.g., fat, sodium, sugar) to the request of consumers.

Correlation between intravesical prostatic protrusion and international prostate symptom score among Nigerian men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Background: Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) is a noninvasive test that can predict bladder outlet obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Objective: The objective of this study was to determinethe correlation between IPP and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in patients with BPH.

Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study of new patients with symptomatic BPH who presented to the urology clinics of NAUTH, Nnewi.

MISSILE AND BLAST INJURIES IN NIGERIA - THE SOUTHEAST EXPERIENCE.

Background: Missile injuries occupy a large segment of injuries treated in Southeast Nigeria, accounting for a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality. However, blast injuries are uncommon in this region. This study became necessary as a result of the rising spate of violence in various parts of Nigeria, particularly in the Northeast and in the Niger Delta regions, as well as the ever-present fear of kidnappers, armed robbers and occasionally, trigger-happy security agents.
