Associations of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index with high risk for prostate cancer: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is an effective tool to assess the nutritional status of the elderly. However, the relationship between the GNRI and the risk for prostate cancer (PCa) remains uncertain in middle-aged and older men. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the GNRI and the risk for PCa by analyzing the serum total (tPSA) and free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) levels (including percent fPSA [%fPSA]).

Management of urinary incontinence after radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder: A scoping review of international practices.

Objectives: To identify and describe international practice in incontinence management after radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder.

Materials And Methods: A systematic scoping review following the methodology of the Joanne Briggs Institute was conducted in which the application searched 15 data sources to identify papers published in English, from 1979 to 2022.

Results: Of the 16 papers that met the eligibility criteria, articles in Eastern countries mainly focus on the effect of conservative treatment, while in Western countries, more attention is paid to the effect of surgical treatment.

The Effects of Resveratrol on Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in a Rat Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are hypothesized to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The study aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol in a rat model with COPD on the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation via the activation of Sirtuin1 (SIRTl) and proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α).
