This review covers skin manifestations in chronic kidney disease, highlighting their impact on quality of life, associated prognostic indicators, and available treatments, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that severe obesity is positively associated with more severe lower urinary tract symptoms compared to moderate obesity in patients with prostatic enlargement.

This article presents a case of spontaneous, recurrent necrotizing infundibular crystalline folliculitis in the inguinal region and suggests unknown etiology possibly linked to microbiome and sebaceous gland dysfunction.

Teaching men with simple bladder problems self-management skills can improve their symptoms and quality of life.

This study found that phosphodiesterase inhibitors may suppress the proliferation of benign prostatic hyperplasia epithelial cells by modulating CCL5 levels in low androgen conditions.

This editorial comments on long-term treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia but reports no new research findings.

This study found that treating dogs with benign prostatic hyperplasia using osaterone acetate reduced prostatic volume and increased diffusion times of an ultrasound contrast agent, suggesting effective treatment and potential for CEUS monitoring.

This case report documents a 57-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome linked to recurrent chronic graft-versus-host disease and lupus-like symptoms, with improvement after cyclosporin and steroids; however, he died later from leukemia relapse.

The study concluded that long-term finasteride pretreatment significantly reduces intraoperative and postoperative blood loss in patients undergoing transurethral resection of an enlarged prostate, whereas short-term pretreatment does not.

This study suggests that finasteride may help alleviate high-fat diet-induced kidney damage in mice by reducing TMAO synthesis and regulating gut microbiota.

This case report describes the diagnosis of pseudoporphyria in a hemodialysis patient, highlighting the importance of discontinuing causative medications and advising patients on sun protection to manage this photosensitive condition.

This meta-analysis reports that male sex, hypertension, tamsulosin, finasteride, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics are significantly associated with increased risk of developing intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, genetics, and management of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, noting subfertility and hormonal issues without providing new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that DNMT1-mediated methylation of SRD5A2 in urethral epithelial cells from hypospadias-afflicted rats upregulates proteins associated with cell cycle and mitochondrial function, suggesting SRD5A2 as a potential therapeutic target for hypospadias due to its role in modulating cellular functions.

This study found that patients on maintenance hemodialysis commonly experience cutaneous symptoms, with pigmentation and nail disorders being the most prevalent.

This study found that dutasteride significantly reduces the risk of acute urinary retention and surgical intervention in men with benign prostatic enlargement compared to placebo.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.

Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic hyperplasia, improving symptoms and quality of life.

In this study, repeated pregnancies in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus altered skin inflammation and cytokine expression but worsened kidney function and survival compared to controls.

This study found that in children undergoing minimally invasive pyeloplasty, failure to regularly reposition the head during surgery and a head compression duration over 3.5 hours significantly increased the risk of developing pressure alopecia, highlighting the need for improving intraoperative head positioning and protective measures.

In this study, preoperative use of finasteride was associated with reduced blood loss and vascular endothelial growth factor expression during TURP, suggesting a potential benefit in preventing transurethral resection syndrome.

Renal transplant patients on tacrolimus and sirolimus may develop acne keloidalis nuchae.

This article discusses the challenges in hypertension management, emphasizing the need to reconsider the use of minoxidil and address excess dietary sodium and arteriolar hypertrophy, but reports no new clinical results.

This literature review identified that phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, such as Tadalafil, are highly effective in improving lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, while the efficacy of saw palmetto remains inconsistent.

This case report describes a 23-year-old man experiencing painful gynecomastia aggravated by low dose finasteride for androgenetic alopecia, which reversed after stopping the medication.

This study found that in beagles with benign prostate hyperplasia, finasteride treatment increased blood volume and decreased vessel leakiness in the prostate's parenchymal zone as shown by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.

In this study, a young Chinese male with a specific mitochondrial mutation was reported to have proteinuria and renal dysfunction, with stable kidney function after treatment over 23 months.
