Objective: Analysis of androgen status in men hospitalized with a moderate COVID-19 and its relationship with the severity of the disease.

Materials And Methods: The study included 152 males with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 based on the results of a positive PCR for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or computed tomography of the lungs hospitalized at the MSU University Clinic due to the moderate and severe COVID-19.

[The use of vascularized scrotal and penile flaps in reconstructive surgery of the urogenital region].

The aim of the work is to present a modern view on the clinical application of urogenital flaps, such as autologous scrotal flap and foreskin. This plastic material has such characteristics as acceptable extensibility, good blood supply, accessibility and the absence of significant defects in the donor area. The use of urogenital flaps is an actual and promising direction in reconstructive urology.

[Development of early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and comprehensive economic analysis of the effect of its implementation].

The paper summarizes the literature and author's data on the development of early (preclinical) diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Implementation of this diagnosis will promote the use of preventive therapy and change investments in diagnosis and treatment of patients. The paper declares that at present the only approach to early diagnosis of PD is positron-emission tomography of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system, but it cannot be used for preventive examination due to its high cost.

[Super-selective embolisation of bladder arteries for treatment of patients with bladder tumors complicated by recurrent macrohematuria].

The prevalence of bladder cancer in Russia over the past 10 years has increased from 49.6 to 74.1 patients per 100,000 population.

Prostatic Artery Embolization for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment: A Russian Multicenter Study in More Than 1,000 Treated Patients.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system. The prevalence of BPH increases in men with advancing age. While transurethral resection of the prostate gland entails complications such as retrograde ejaculation, urinary incontinence, hematuria, urethral strictures, bladder neck sclerosis, and other adverse events, it is necessary to apply minimally invasive surgical methods such as superselective embolization of the prostatic arteries (PAE), particularly Proximal Embolization First Then Distal Embolization (PErFecTED).

[Premature ejaculation: the main physiological mechanisms and new approaches to the treatment].

Premature ejaculation (PE) is characterized by an early ejaculation, which occurs within 1 minute after or before vaginal penetration. PE is the most common sexual problem and leads to a number of negative psychological consequences. To understand the etiopathogenesis of PE, it is necessary to understand the physiological mechanisms of the ejaculatory reflex.

[Efficiency of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors for treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and concomitant erectile dysfunction].

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in combination with benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction are more common than commonly thought. Unfortunately, urologists often dont ask about concomitant erectile dysfunction in patients with irritative or obstructive symptoms, which leads to the progression of underline disease, a deterioration in the quality of sexual life, and, as a result, overall quality of life. The relevant studies of recent years dedicated to feasibility of using tadalafil 5 mg a day are analyzed in the article.

[A comparative characteristics of treatment results of patiens with benign prostatic hyperplasia in combination with hypogonadism].

Aim: to compare the efficiency of monotherapy with -blockers vs combined therapy (-blockers in combination with Androgel) in patients with BPH and hypogonadism.

Materials And Methods: a total of 60 men with BPH and hypogonadism, who were randomly selected from outpatient department were included in the study. All patients were divided into 2 groups (n=30).

[Herbal preparations and microelements as alternative therapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction].

The aim of the work is to provide a current view on the efficiency of the components of dietary supplement Antiprost for the treatment of urological diseases. The study results on the influence of the dietary components of supplement Antiprost are presented in the article in according to principles of evidence-based medicine. Antiprost can be used in the routine urological practice in specific situations, e.

[Super-selective prostatic artery embolization for bph treatment.].

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system. BPH prevalence increases in men with advancing age, highlighting the necessity of minimally invasive surgical procedure including super-selective prostatic artery embolization (PAE). The current role of the PAE for BPH treatment according to recent national and international publications is discussed in this review.
