“…3 What is becoming increasingly clear is the generally progressive nature of BPE. 4,5 In a randomised comparison with TURP, 30% of men assigned to advice alone required prostate surgery for progressive symptoms during a 3-year period of surveillance. 6 Longitudinal community observational studies such as that performed in Olmsted County, USA 7 have shown an increase in both symptom severity and adverse effects on quality of life associated with progressive prostate enlargement and deterioration in urine flow.…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the composition of kidney stones removed from human patients. Seventeen samples were collected after surgery (5 females and 12 males; age range 2 to 60 years). The samples were analyzed for composition by transmission Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The 17 analyzed samples of kidney stones comprised 29.4% calcium oxalate, 29.4% uric acid, 29.4% calcium oxalate (CaOx)-uric acid, 5.9% phosphate, and 5.9% calcium oxalate-phosphate stones. The results of the study indicated that transmission FT-IR spectroscopy could be used as an environmentally friendly technique for rapid screening of kidney stones.

Indroduction: Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most commonly diagnosed benign adenoma which causes serious clinical symptoms by bladder outlet obstruction. BPH patients suffer from negative changes in their quality of life and restriction of their daily activities due to the disease symptoms. Our main objective in this study is to evaluate the relationship between BPH and LUTS as described by International Prostate Symptoms Score and objective non-invasive parameters related to BPH. Materials and methods: 238 Patients over 40 years with clinical BPH, LUTS and/or prostate volumes greater than 25 ml who presented to urology department were included in the study. All patients included in the study were subjected to a standardized diagnostic panel which included patient history, physical examination, biochemistry panels and urinalysis. Results: Results showed an increase in symptom scores with age. As symptom scores go from mild to severe; Q max values showed a decrease meanwhile prostate volume, PSA and postvoid residue increased. Again, in terms of erectile dysfunction, erectile dysfunction complaints increased with increased IIEF symptom scores. When all these results were evaluated, a positive correlation was seen between uroflowmetry parameters with patient symptoms, PSA and IIEF scores. Conclusion: From our study results, we can conclude that uroflowmetry is a very useful tool in monitoring lower urinary system complaints.KEY WORDS: Prostate volume; Erectile dysfunction; Uroflowmetry; Urinary system complaints. toms (LUTS) (5, 6). Uroflowmetry gives enough information in diagnosing BOO. Our main objective in this study is to evaluate the relationship between BPH and LUTS as described by International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) and objective non-invasive parameters related to BPH.

Natural history and clinical predictors of clinical progression in benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract: With further understanding of the natural history and the predictors of progression of BPH, management can be better tailored according to risk stratification and the results of clinical trials of effectiveness can be better interpreted.
