Infertility is a global problem that brings with serious sexual and social consequences that strain the health sector and society. The expansion of CAG & GGC repeats in androgen receptor (AR) gene Ensembl number; ENSG00000169083 may leads to reduced fertility.
Cancer has adverse effects on male reproductive health. Conventional semen analysis does not explain the molecular changes in the spermatozoa of cancer patients. Currently, proteomics is being widely used to identify the fertility-associated molecular pathways affected in spermatozoa.
To explore the feasibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the evaluation of arterial erectile dysfunction (ED). From November 2018 to November 2019, 26 patients with arterial ED and 30 patients with non-vascular ED were prospectively included.
It is widely accepted that disorders of the male (uro)genital tract, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign diseases of the prostate (lower urinary tract symptomatology or benign prostatic hyperplasia), can be approached therapeutically by influencing the function of both the vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle of the penile erectile tissue or the transition zone/periurethral […]
Tamsulosin is the most widely used alpha-1 blocker medication for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as indicated in the current practice guideline. The aim of this study was to compare all-cause medical costs and BPH-specific medical costs in older male adults with BPH treated with tamsulosin vs other alpha-1 blockers (i.
Background and Aim Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimal invasive effective method in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure is technically challenging as pelvic vascular anatomy is highly prone to variations and identification of the prostatic artery (PA) is the most time consuming step which can lead to increased procedure times.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an age-related disease, occurring in >70% of men of age >60. Because telomeres and telomerase play a key role in aging and age-related diseases, and certain telomerase gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are shown to be associated with the susceptibility to age-related diseases, we wanted to determine the relationship between […]
We conducted the present study to assess the correlation of the prostatic anatomical parameters, especially the ratio of peripheral zone thickness and transitional zone thickness, with clinical and uroflowmetry characteristics suggestive of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) offers minimally-invasive thermal ablation of benign and malignant prostate tissue, using directional high-intensity ultrasound and real-time MR-thermometry feedback control.
The historic international penile cancer trial InPACT is now open and accruing patients in the UK and USA. The trial is geared to answer important questions for patients with evidence of inguinal lymph node disease at presentation.
