摘要:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition in males over 50 years, but prostate cancer can develop in the same population. Prostate specific antigen, the best marker for prostate cancer, is also produced by benign epithelial cells, and there is an overlapping phenomenon between both conditions. The better we understand the relationships between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate specific antigen, the higher will be the discrimination power of prostate specific antigen measurement as a marker for prostate cancer. Our scope includes a review of the latest published material to date on this subject.

摘要:

Different ablative treatments are in clinical use to lower perioperative morbidity and to maintain efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate. Modifications to electrodes or high frequency units, or both, as well as improvements in laser technology have been tried. Transurethral resection is performed with a modified high frequency generator. The technique of ‘coagulating intermittent cutting’ allows reduction in morbidity and maintains the advantages of classical transurethral resection.

摘要:

High-energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy is an attractive alternative outpatient single-session treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement, with good tolerability, low morbidity and few complications. This paper reviews recent published literature, with a focus on tolerability and morbidity.

摘要:

Endoprostatic stents have been developed for relieving bladder outlet obstruction secondary to benign hyperplasia of the prostate. The stents are designed either for permanent or for temporary placement. The short-term temporary stents of various biostable and biodegradable polymers are needed after minimally invasive therapy of prostate with heat. The temporary stents are a management option, whereas the permanent stents are a treatment option. Permanent stents offer immediate relief and their sustained results for 4-7 years make them ideally suited for medically compromised patients.

摘要:

The management of recurrent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux in neonates and children is still a challenging problem. This review critically summarizes the highlights and current innovations in diagnosis and therapy, focusing on the peer-reviewed literature of the past year. Future developments and research efforts are briefly discussed.

摘要:

A number of pathogenic factors for the development of recurrent urinary tract infection, such as prolonged vaginal colonization with uropathogenicEscherichia coli, nonsecretion of ABH blood-group antigens, impaired local immune response, oestrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women and altered vaginal milieu caused by the use of contraceptives, are involved. Long-term use of antimicrobial agents is the cornerstone of prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection. Other approaches currently used involve self-start (on demand) therapy, oestrogen replacement in postmenopausal women, behavioural changes and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture.

摘要:

Currently, only struvite stones are regarded as deriving from bacteria. Recent work has suggested that calcium-based stones might also have an infectious origin. Nanobacteria, small intracelluar bacteria found in human kidney stones, are capable of forming a calcium phosphate shell, and thus could serve as crystallization centres for renal calculi formation. Until now, however, all trials performed to confirm the presence of nanobacteria in human calculi, serum or urine have failed. In a hyperoxaluric rat model, tissue-residing macrophages were able to remove interstitial crystals and thus may not be primarily engaged in defending against micro-organisms, if present.

摘要:

Male accessory sex gland infections are considered to be hazards to male fertility. Various pathophysiologic concepts have evolved from experimental and clinical studies that begin to explain the effects of bacteria and immunologic events on spermatozoa. Recent studies have identified and evaluated mediators that are responsible for specific molecular processes in infections that particularly affect the function of spermatozoa.
