The aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist ITE reduces inflammation and urinary dysfunction in a mouse model of autoimmune prostatitis.

Objectives: Prostate inflammation is linked to lower urinary tract dysfunction and is a key factor in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Autoimmunity was recently identified as a driver of prostate inflammation. Agonists of the aryl hydrocarbon ...

Long time follow-up for patients with testicular torsion: new findings.

Background: Testicular torsion is the major urologic emergency. If not treated promptly, this condition can result in testicular necrosis or long-term functional impairment. At present, there are few paper about long time follow-up of these patients. ...

Identification of ECM and EMT relevant genes involved in the progression of bladder cancer through bioinformatics analysis.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is very common among cancers of urinary system. It was usually categorized into two types: non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). NMIBC and MIBC groupings are heterogeneous ...

A case series of emphysematous pyelonephritis in COVID-positive patients.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare infectious disease affecting the renal and perirenal tissues, wherein gas formation occurs in the renal parenchyma, perinephric tissues, or collecting systems. It can be life threatening with mortality rates ...

Artificial intelligence in pathologic diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of prostate cancer.

Histopathology, which is the gold-standard for prostate cancer diagnosis, faces significant challenges. With prostate cancer ranking among the most common cancers in the United States and worldwide, pathologists experience an increased number for prostate ...

Prognostic significance of the PI-RADS score in men with prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: MRI-targeted biopsy (T-Bx) for which Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assessment categories are useful has been shown to more accurately detect clinically significant prostate cancer. However, the prognostic significance ...

Steps toward identification of a novel cue-positive overactive bladder phenotype in women with high-bother urinary urgency.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between situational cues (running water, stress, cold, etc.) and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Methods: Women scheduled for urodynamic studies for clinical indications completed ...

Anatomic characteristics of the right internal spermatic vein based on imaging analysis: a retrospective study in southwest China.

Objective: The specific anatomic characteristics of the right internal spermatic vein (ISV) are pivotal factors in embolism failure. However, the inherent angles and configurations of the right ISV remain incompletely explored. This study aimed to address ...

Effect of saline perfusion before catheter removal in patients with BPH treated with GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate.

Objective: To investigate the effect of saline perfusion before catheter removal in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treated with GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). Materials and Methods: Patients (n=200) ...

The role of PSA kinetics in men with a negative MRI-targeted prostate biopsy.

Objective: To evaluate rebiopsy rates and clinicopathologic outcomes in patients after a negative MRI-guided biopsy to better inform the management of these patients. Methods: Patients were included with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa) referred ...
