Prevalence and Characteristics of Urinary Catheter Blockage in Patients With Long‐Term Urinary Catheterization: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To determine the prevalence and characteristics of urinary catheter blockage in older patients using objective indicators and to characterize obstructive materials and microbiota. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods Patients aged ≥ 65 years with an indwelling catheter for ≥ 24 h were recruited from a long‐term care hospital.

Early Onset Bacteremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Current Era

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infection (BSI) after kidney transplantation increases the risk of graft loss and mortality. We aimed to identify contemporary risk factors and outcomes of early BSI (eBSI) at our transplant center. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from 2019 to 2023.

Activity of enzymes of the pro-/antioxidant system in benign prostatic hyperplasia

Біологічні студії
Background. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is mostly prevalent in older men, is associated with compression of the prostatic urethra and manifests as lower urinary tract symptoms. Its pathological characteristics include abnormal proliferation

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

DIGITAL RECTAL EXAMINATION, TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND AND PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN AS A TRIPPLE ASSESMENT DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR BENIGN ENLARGEMENT OF PROSTATE

National Journal of Medical Research, 2015
Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common benign tumor in men and its incidence is age related. The condition is prevalent in approximately 20% in men aged 41-50, 50% in men aged 51-60 and >80% in men aged over 80.

TMEM16A Ca2+‐activated Cl− channel: Functional interactions with cytoskeletal and membrane‐associated proteins

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The calcium‐activated chloride (ClCa) channel TMEM16A (also known as ANO1) plays critical roles in ion transport, neurotransmission and smooth muscle contraction. Dysregulation of TMEM16A channel activity contributes to the development and progression of various diseases.

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Technical Feasibility of IVIM for Prostate Cancer Imaging Using High‐Amplitude Whole‐Body Gradient System With Spiral Readout and Velocity‐Compensated Diffusion Encoding

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2026.
The combination of velocity‐compensated diffusion encoding, spiral readout and strong gradients enabled high‐quality prostate IVIM imaging, offering a promising framework for the development of reliable IVIM‐based biomarkers for prostate cancer detection, characterisation and monitoring.

Immune dysregulation in the prostates of C57BL/6Aire−/− mice mirrors that seen in human benign prostatic hyperplasia

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 270, Issue 2, Page 211-225, October 2026.
Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common urologic disease in aging men, resulting in significant morbidity. The etiologies of BPH are unknown, though chronic prostatic inflammation is known to promote hyperplasia, fibrotic remodeling, and therapeutic resistance in BPH.

Predictive Value of [−2]proPSA‐Related Indices for Prostate Cancer Detection Years Before Prostate‐Specific Antigen Elevation: Insights From a Five‐Year Longitudinal Screening Cohort

The Prostate, Volume 86, Issue 14, Page 1470-1476, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background [‐2]proPSA(p2PSA)‐related indices have demonstrated diagnostic value for detecting prostate cancer (PC) in males with modest increases in prostate‐specific antigen levels (PSA) of < 10 ng/mL. However, the “leak point” of p2PSA level in the blood circulation before developing screen‐detectable PC remains uncertain.
