Risk factors for mortality in prostatic abscess: Insights into patient characteristics and drainage practices.
- Details
Prostatic abscess, which is an uncommon urinary tract disease, can lead to mortality if not properly treated. This retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors associated with mortality in patients with prostatic abscess, with the goal of providing insights to improve clinical outcomes.
Aquablation for dual burden disease - BPH and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a single-center prospective pilot study.
- Details
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) accounts for approximately 90-95% of prostatitis cases and is defined by pelvic pain or discomfort persisting for at least three of the preceding six months in the absence of identifiable infection.
Epigenetic Regulation of Immune Dysfunction in Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
- Details
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a prevalent and debilitating condition with unclear etiology. Increasing evidence implicates immune dysregulation, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying impaired immune regulation remain poorly defined.
Serum Untargeted Metabolomics Integrated with SHAP-Based Machine Learning for Multiclass Stratification of Prostate Cancer, Prostatitis, and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
- Details
Prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostatitis share substantial overlap in clinical symptoms and biological characteristics, which hampers non-invasive and early differential diagnosis.
No causal effect between prostatitis and erectile dysfunction: Insights from a 2-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.
- Details
Both prostatitis and erectile dysfunction (ED) are common diseases in andrology. The epidemiologic evidence indicates that prostatitis is associated with ED, but controversy still remains. This study aims to utilized publicly available genetic data and Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal effect between prostatitis and ED.
IgG4-Related Prostatitis Detected by Whole-Body Diffusion-Weighted Imaging With Background Body Signal Suppression (DWIBS).
- Details
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibro-inflammatory disorder that can affect multiple organs, but involvement of the prostate is rare. Most reported cases of IgG4-related prostatitis are associated with multiorgan disease and present with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Outcomes of six dogs with prostate carcinoma and bacterial prostatitis treated with prostate artery embolization.
- Details
Risk of recurrent lower urinary tract infection and bacterial prostatitis (BP) after prostate artery embolization in dogs diagnosed with concurrent BP and prostatic carcinoma (PC) is unknown.
To report short- and long-term outcomes of dogs with PC and BP undergoing prostatic artery embolization (PAE).
State-of-the-Art Review: Diagnosis and Management of Acute and Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis.
- Details
Acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) and chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) are poorly defined clinical entities, and diagnosis can be challenging. A clinical diagnosis of ABP can be made in the setting of an acute urinary tract infection (UTI) with systemic illness and evidence of prostatic involvement as defined by prostatic tenderness or fluctuance on digital rectal examination or prostatic abscess identified on imaging.
Genomic and AI-Driven Discovery in Chronic Prostatitis: Causal Role of ITPR3 and Therapeutic Repurposing of Raloxifene.
- Details
This study employed an integrative multi-omics strategy to investigate the potential role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3 (ITPR3) in chronic prostatitis and to identify potential therapeutic targets and drugs using a Mendelian randomization (MR)-proteomics causal inference framework.
A large-scale multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men.
- Details
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is common, and it impacts men's health and quality of life. The genetic basis of this condition remains largely unknown. Here, we conduct a GWAS using data from the Million Veteran Program of over 590,000 men of European, African, and Hispanic ancestry, including 14,575 chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome cases.
