Benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) is a prevalent condition that affects men, primarily toward their old age. The condition is often accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which can significantly impair a patient's quality of life and lead to other medical complications. Accurate diagnosis of BPO is essential for effective management of complications secondary to BPO, and treatment plans should be tailored patients, and occasionally according to surgeon experience. As such, this literature review aims to analyze the current available data on male LUTS secondary to BPO by providing a comprehensive overview of relevant studies, as well as the surgical and medical management guidelines from the Canadian Urological Association (CUA), American Urological Association (AUA), and European Association of Urology (EAU). By synthesizing the existing literature, this review purports to summarize the current body of knowledge surrounding BPO and male LUTS, and support healthcare providers in making informed decisions about the management of male LUTS secondary to BPO, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Is Treating Bladder Outlet Really Needed when Removing Bladder Stones: Outcomes of Bladder Stones Removal Without Concomitant BPO Surgery.
J Endourol
November 2024
Department of Urology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that surgical intervention for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) may not be necessary during bladder stone removal in men, prompting an evaluation of this approach.
- A study analyzed 63 males who underwent bladder stone removal without simultaneous BPO surgery from 2017 to 2024, tracking outcomes such as future BPO surgery and complications.
- The findings indicated a high rate of BPO surgery-free survival (90% at 1 year, 78% at 3 and 5 years), with larger prostate volumes and higher post-void residual being significant predictors for needing future BPO surgery, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection.
Efficiency of HoLEP in patients with detrusor underactivity and renal dysfunction secondary to BPO.
World J Urol
September 2024
Department of Urology, Tongren Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, No. 1111 Xianxia Rd, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the bladder and renal functional outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) complicated by detrusor underactivity (DU) and secondary renal dysfunction.
Methods: Thirty-one patients were included in this prospective study. Eligible patients had urinary retention, a bladder outlet obstruction index (BOOI) greater than 40, a bladder contractility index (BCI) less than 100, abnormal renal function at the initial diagnosis (serum creatinine > 132 µmol/L) and a renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter (PRAPD) > 1.
The Disconnect Between Soccer Players' Perceived and Actual Electromyographic-Measured Muscle Activation.

Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biophysics, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey.
Understanding muscle activation during exercises is crucial for devising effective training programs. We examined correlations between self-reported and electromyographic (EMG) muscle activity during upper-body exercises performed at loads corresponding to 4-6 repetition maximums (RMs). Thirteen male sub-elite soccer players who had previously engaged in resistance training participated in two testing sessions.

Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris is a complex skin condition with both inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions, and using combination topical therapies can effectively target multiple causes in a single treatment.
- Clindamycin phosphate/benzoyl peroxide/adapalene is the first FDA-approved triple therapy that shows significant effectiveness against acne while having a low side effect profile.
- A literature review from 2018 to 2023 examined various combination treatments and found that these multi-drug formulations improve patient adherence and offer a promising solution for managing acne vulgaris.

Background: () is a commensal skin bacterium, primarily found in sebaceous glands and hair follicles, with a high prevalence in the shoulder region. It is the most common pathogenic organism in prosthetic joint infections after shoulder arthroplasty. Because of its low virulence, its diagnosis remains difficult.
