This review discusses current and emerging treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia and emphasizes the need for further research to optimize treatment selection, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes two German shepherd dogs with prostatitis that showed favorable responses to treatment with finasteride, phenazopyridine, and enrofloxacin.

This review discusses the role of finasteride preoperatively in reducing bleeding and complications during TURP and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential benefits based on existing studies.

This study found that men prescribed Finasteride had a lower incidence of bladder cancer compared to those not on the medication, but this protective effect was observed only in Caucasians and Hispanics.

Higher CRP levels suggest chronic inflammation is linked to bladder-related urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates.

The authors discuss BPH treatment options and highlight that while medications can manage symptoms, recent minimally invasive procedures may offer promise for elderly males who are not surgical candidates or wish to avoid surgery.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic enlargement, noting altered patient care and management, but provides no new clinical results.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This study investigated the effects of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors on penile histomorphometry in both normotensive and hypertensive rats, reporting no significant changes between treated and untreated groups.

This study explores the clinical significance of the intravesical prostatic protrusion/prostate volume ratio in diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction but reports no new results.

This study suggests that dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, and inhibiting androgens may improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes.

Spontaneous keloids may be linked to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in dialysis patients.

This medical case report describes a 69-year-old man's diagnosis and management of ANCA-associated vasculitis leading to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, ultimately treated with glucocorticoids and rituximab.

Combination therapy improves urinary flow and reduces residual urine, but needs better stent design.

In this case study, a 12-year-old girl with an imperforate hymen experienced significant complications, including hematometrocolpos and a large abdominal mass, highlighting the necessity of early gynecologic care and education about female anatomy to improve outcomes.

This study found that while new treatments like Optilume, Rezum, and Aquablation have minimal risks of sexual dysfunction, they offer less improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms compared to traditional surgeries like TURP, though Aquablation does reduce ejaculatory dysfunction more effectively than TURP.

In this study, men with benign prostatic hyperplasia who took finasteride for four years experienced reduced urinary symptoms, fewer surgeries, less acute urinary retention, increased urinary flow rates, and decreased prostate volume.

This article discusses advancements and future directions in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, highlighting ongoing clinical trials of novel techniques, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that both dutasteride and finasteride affected penile morphology in normotensive and hypertensive rats, with more pronounced changes in hypertensive animals, especially when treated with dutasteride.

This study found that bladder outlet obstruction's common complication, detrusor overactivity, tends to persist with medical therapy or watchful waiting but significantly decreases with surgical treatment, especially prostatectomy.

This review discusses risk factors for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, emphasizing tamsulosin and other α1 blockers, and underscores the importance of preoperative screening to mitigate surgical complications, but it reports no new results.

This study found that while kidney transplant recipients generally reported good quality of life on immunosuppressive therapies, women experienced more distressing symptoms and lower satisfaction compared to men.

In this study, testosterone increased the expression of epithelial sodium channel proteins and mRNAs in rat kidneys, suggesting a potential mechanism for its effect on blood pressure through enhanced sodium reabsorption.

This study observed a temporal association between tamsulosin use for benign prostatic hyperplasia and an increased risk of severe hypotension requiring hospital admission during the first eight weeks of treatment initiation and restart.

This study found that five years after prostatic surgery for male lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic obstruction, 12% of patients required a second surgery, with prior prostatitis identified as a significant risk factor for reintervention.

Researchers created a simple tool to predict bladder blockage from prostate enlargement using urine flow rate and prostate volume.
