Background Many factors could contribute to the cases of residual benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) volume after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), such as age, obesity, testosterone level, and inflammation. The goal of this study was to determine the risk of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) i...

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is indicated for symptomatic male hypogonadism. However, the safety and efficacy profiles across different ethnicities for long-term TRT remain unclear. To measure the impact of ethnicity on various biochemical parameters following testosterone undecanoate (TU) replacement. A retrospective analysis of 50 male ...
Resumo Esta pesquisa busca analisar a potencialidade de sistemas de pagamentos por serviços ambientais (PSA) como um instrumento para a gestão de mananciais hídricos urbanos. A metodologia de pesquisa baseia-se essencialmente na elaboração de um cenário ideal com o PSA, buscando observar em que momento do tempo no processo de expansão urbana esse i...

An ultrasensitive sandwich-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was developed for detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) using an amplification strategy based on ZnO nanorods-l-cysteine-luminol nanocomposites and the biotin-streptavidin system. The biotin-streptavidin system served as a capture probe to increase the number of anti...

To analyse the accuracy of high preoperative PSA levels for predicting transitional zone incidental PCa (TZ-PCa) in men with very large prostates. Perioperative data from 375 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) for benign prostatic obstruction between July 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively revie...

The aim of the study was to evaluate prognosis for biochemical recurrence (BR) by analysing the pathological and biological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP). There were 130 men with clinically localized PCa in whom pretreatment serum PSA level and Ki-67, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), glucose tra...

Objectives: We investigated the diagnostic efficacy of the prostate health index (PHI) and PHI density (PHID) to avoid unnecessary prostate biopsies in 3 urological practices. Methods: In 122 patients, total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free PSA (f-PSA), the quotient from total PSA and f-PSA (f-PSA%), and [–2]pro-PSA were measured in the serum;...
