assess the histologic changes in the prostate and the clinical outcome in men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) following transurethral fulguration of the prostate (TUFP) with the roller ball. METHODS: The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase of the study, histologic changes in the prostate following fulguration with the roller ball were studied in 10 men with BPH who were already scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). In the second…

and KIAA0903. EH Domain Binding Protein 1 is a protein coding gene. This gene codes for an Eps15 homology domain binding protein. Its protein type is a vesicle. The encoded protein may play a role in endocytic trafficking. It is associated with prostate cancer. This gene is commonly found within the cytosol and the plasma membrane of a cell. It's size is 1231 amino acids long. Its cytogenetic location is on the short, or p, arm of chromosome 2 at position 15, or 2p15, located from base pair…

Although, it if blood is present in urine, saliva or semen it may detect the trace amounts. The Acid Phosphatase, PSA, and Christmas Tree tests are specific for analyzing semen and will not react to other blood or saliva, but may react with vaginal fluids. Finally, amylase enzymes are present only in saliva and the small intestine. The Amylose Azuretest, starch-iodine test, and Phadebus test will not…

states , Cancer of the prostate is the most common cancer among American men, affecting about one in five men during the course of a lifetime-and the most common cause of death from cancer in men over age 75. Prostate cancer is most common among African-American men over 60 years old and a health risk that all men should take seriously As with other cancers for which a cause is unknown, early detection is the most valuable weapon in this battle. If a problem in the prostate is suspected,…

renal function. Check the PSA, if the patient’s life expectancy is above 10 years, prostate cancer is suspected during physical examination, and treatment plan includes the use of 5 alpha reductase inhibitor therapy. A urologist referral for a prostate ultrasound or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) if indicated (Buttaro, et al, 2013). Diagnosis Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the benign enlargement of the prostate gland common in male age 50 and above, black males are at a higher risk compared…

The proposed research seeks to identify a successful intervention to close the disparities of trust and utilization of preventative health services between African Americans and White Americans. The researcher will test the hypothesis that African American patients that receive assistance from a community health worker, report higher trust in the healthcare system and utilization of preventative services than African American patients that do not receive assistance from a community health worker…

Case summary: A 69 years old male with known CKD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was admitted to hospital following a GP visit. Increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and raised creatinine levels were observed in his blood tests. Patient was referred from GP due to worsening of creatinine on a background of 2 months of increasing pedal oedema. Ultrasound scan showed no renal obstruction and a renal biopsy confirmed pANCA vasculitis. Urinalysis also confirmed presence of glucose,…

However, men need to be particularly concerned about an increasing waistline because of the harmful effects obesity can have on male hormones and prostate health ("Obesity: Unhealthy And Unmanly"). A study 2007 showed that an increase of one point on the BMI scale led to a two percent drop in testosterone levels in men 40 years of age and older ("Obesity: Unhealthy And Unmanly"). Ten years of aging…

metastasis. For example, breast cancer can spread from the breast to the bones in the body, which means it has metastasis to the bones of the individuals with cancer disease. There are several types of cancer which including lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma, and the symptoms differ to each other depending on the type of cancer and part of the body affected.…
