Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) negatively affects the quality of ejaculate, especially in patients with chronic prostatitis.
Material And Methods: To determine the effect of metabolic syndrome on semen parameters in patients with tuberculosis of the prostate (TP), a study of 72 patients with prostatic tuberculosis was conducted. MS was diagnosed when at least three of the five following medical conditions were found: central obesity, elevated levels of plasma triglycerides, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia and decreased levels of high-density lipoproteins. Semen parameters were compared in patients with tuberculosis of the prostate with and without MS.
Results: 41% of patients with prostatic tuberculosis had metabolic syndrome, which was associated with a 1.5, 1.4 and 2.5 fold decreases in the number of sperm, sperm concentration, and the number of normal sperm forms, respectively.
Conclusions: These findings provide the rationale for developing specific therapies aimed at restoring ejaculate fertility in patients with prostatic tuberculosis, considering that almost a half of them have MS.

Introduction: Undiagnosed chronic disease has serious health consequences, and variation in rates of underdiagnosis between populations can contribute to health inequalities. We aimed to estimate the level of undiagnosed disease of 11 common conditions and its variation across sociodemographic characteristics and regions in England.
Methods: We used linked primary care, hospital and mortality data on approximately 1.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of Prostate Spherical Volume Ratio for Lower urinary tract symptoms and clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia. And compared with other prostatic anatomical parameters.
Methods: A total of 154 patients with Benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent MRI and urodynamics were included in the study, while prostate anatomical parameters such as prostate spherical volume ratio, prostate volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion, prostatic urethral length and presumed circle area ratio were determined based on MRI measurements.
Current insights on PSMA PET/CT in intermediate-risk prostate cancer: a literature review.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the role of PSMA PET/CT in intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients, to determine whether it could help improve treatment strategy and prognostic stratification. A systematic literature search up to May 2024 was conducted in the PubMed, Embase and Scopus databases. Articles with mixed risk patient populations, review articles, editorials, letters, comments, or case reports were excluded.

Purpose: Assessing surgical skills is vital for training surgeons, but creating objective, automated evaluation systems is challenging, especially in robotic surgery. Surgical procedures generally involve dissection and exposure (D/E), and their duration and proportion can be used for skill assessment. This study aimed to develop an AI model to acquire D/E parameters in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and verify if these parameters could distinguish between novice and expert surgeons.
