Quantitative determinations of U. urealyticum and M. hominis have been performed in 164 men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) and 597 patients with chronic prostatitis. Evidence is provided that U. urealyticum plays an etiologic role in 29.3 percent of patients with non-gonococcal urethritis. Mixed infections of C. trachomatis and U. urealyticum, in high numbers, do occur in 11 percent of NGU cases. A constellation suggesting ureaplasma-associated disease could be observed in 13.7 to 15.2 percent of 597 patients with chronic prostatitis. M. hominis does not appear to be a causative agent of NGU or chronic prostatitis.

Vitamin D-related genetic variants and prostate cancer risk in Black men.
Cancer Epidemiol
January 2025
Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, United States.
Background: The relationship between vitamin D and prostate cancer has primarily been characterized among White men. Black men, however, have higher prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates, chronically low circulating vitamin D levels, and ancestry-specific genetic variants in vitamin D-related genes. Here, we examine critical genes in the vitamin D pathway and prostate cancer risk in Black men.

Background: Prostate cancer remains the most frequent cancer among men, representing a significant health burden. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, the etiology of prostate cancer remains relatively unknown, with only non-modifiable established risk factors. Chronic inflammation has emerged as a potential factor in prostate carcinogenesis.

Estimating the burden of underdiagnosis within England: A modelling study of linked primary care data.
PLoS One

Department of Public Health, Policy and Systems, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom.
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.
