OBJECTIVE To estimate the clinical safety, efficacy of Epristeride in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS One hundred and fourty-one BPH patients, aged from 50 to 83 years old [(66.18 +/- 6.41) yr], were given Epristeride tablets 5 mg p.o., twice daily for 120 days. To

BACKGROUND Nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy affects the anterior portion of the optic nerve and is characterized by sudden, painless visual loss.

Seventy three patients with prostatic carcinoma (PC) and 7 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in 12 institutes subcutaneously received single and multiple doses of Hoe 766, and clinical efficacy, safety and endocrine effects of drug were examined. In a single doses study, six doses

OBJECTIVE A case of angioedema associated with the initiation of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug in a patient stable on an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor is reported. CONCLUSIONS A 68-year-old African-American man with no known drug allergies and a history of hypertension, benign

Transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, resulting from dilutional hyponatraemia for excessive absorption of irrigating fluid, represents the most relevant complication of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Ethanol is used as a tracer in the irrigant solution to monitor fluid absorption with

Acute renal failure usually occurs during hospitalization, but may also be present on admission to the hospital. To define the causes and outcomes of community-acquired acute renal failure, we undertook a prospective study of patients admitted to the hospital with acute elevations in serum

OBJECTIVE Absorption of the fluid used for bladder irrigation during transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) may disturb the circulatory system and lead to clinical symptoms known as the transurethral resection syndrome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in electrolytes in

BACKGROUND Bochdalek hernias (BHs) are usually diagnosed in the neonatal period, occurring in 1/2200-1/12,500 live births. There are few reported cases of BHs in adults. Robotic repair has not been described in current literature as opposed to the laparoscopic approach. Here we present a case of an

OBJECTIVE The case of a patient who was successfully treated with i.v. phenytoin for an acute exacerbation of refractory trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is reported. CONCLUSIONS A 77-year-old, 87-kg Caucasian man with a 12-year history of right-sided, classical TN was admitted for an acute exacerbation of

Transurethral resection of the prostate is currently the gold standard for the surgical treatment of the benign prostatic hyperplasia. This surgery may lead transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome and in some cases, acute tubular necrosis can develop. We report a patient who

BACKGROUND Obstructive uropathy can lead to irreversible kidney damage. The etiology largely determined by the patient's age can be benign or malignant. This study aimed at determining the profile and outcome of patients with obstructive uropathy in Cameroon. METHODS A cross sectional study carried

Introduction. A patent urachus is a rare congenital or acquired pathology, which can lead to complications later in life. We describe a case of urachal cystitis as the etiology of small bowel obstruction in an adult without prior intra-abdominal surgery. Case Report. A 64-year-old male presented to

Transurethral resection has been the gold standard in the operative management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and bladder tumor; however, it is associated with several complications that may cause patient discomfort. We evaluated the usefulness of continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine on emergence
