Combined treatment with doxasozine and finasteride was performed for 7.26 months in 38 patients with large-size prostatic adenoma (89.54 +/- 11.64 cm3). The study group of 38 patients given the above combination benefited from the treatment (18 patients avoided surgery, TUR of shorter duration with removal of a less amount of tissue and less blood loss was conducted in 20 patients). Bladder draining with the urethral catheter was also shorter in the study group. The control group (28 patients with large prostatic adenoma) received surgical treatment alone. Long-term results were good in both the groups. Thus, combined treatment with doxasozine and finasteride can be the first-line treatment in patients with large prostatic adenoma.

Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy among men worldwide, including in Sudan, where it represents a significant public health challenge. CD147, a transmembrane glycoprotein implicated in tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis, has shown potential as a prognostic biomarker in various cancers. This retrospective case-control study aimed to evaluate CD147 expression in prostate adenocarcinoma among Sudanese men and its association with tumor grade.

Motivation: NMR-based metabolomics is a field driven by technological advancements, necessitating the use of advanced preprocessing tools. Despite this need, there is a remarkable scarcity of comprehensive and user-friendly preprocessing tools in Python. To bridge this gap, we have developed Protomix-a Python package designed for metabolomics research.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains the deadliest infectious disease globally, with the kidneys being the most frequently affected organ in the genitourinary system. Isolated prostate involvement by tuberculosis is rare and may mimic prostate cancer. This case report aims to highlight the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic responses associated with isolated prostate tuberculosis, particularly in the context of significantly elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in a TB-endemic region.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare patient-reported outcomes of minimally invasive treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), namely, transurethral water vapor therapy (Rezum) and prostatic urethral lift (UroLift), due to the lack of direct comparison in the existing literature. Methods A retrospective single-institution study was conducted comparing Rezum and UroLift procedures performed by three surgeons between January 2019 and June 2022. The difference in American Urological Association Symptom Scores (AUA SS) was the primary outcome measure.

To compare the efficacy and safety of low-power holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (LP-HoLEP) with plasma kinetic resection of prostate (PKRP). Sixty-three patients treated with transurethral LP-HoLEP (observation group) and 68 patients treated with transurethral PKRP (control group) at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2019 to November 2022 were retrospectively compared with regard to operation duration, intra-operative blood loss, prostate resection ratio, postoperative bladder irrigation time, postoperative indwelling urinary catheter time, postoperative urinary incontinence incidence, International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), and residual urine volume (RUV). In both groups, postoperative IPSS, Qmax, and RUV were significantly improved compared to preoperative values (P < 0.
