Benign hypertrophy of the prostate (BPH) is the most frequent pathology in the urinary tract of middle-aged men. In recent years, to enable BPH treatment with larger volumes and to reduce the risk of hemorrhage known to be associated to the transurethral resection of prostate treatment, transurethral photovaporisation of the prostate (PVP ) with the GreenLight (GL) XPS 180 W was developed. Therefore, the question arises to maximally reduce the length of catheterization to facilitate outpatient surgical management of prostate adenoma. In the investigators study, the investigators propose to evaluate the failure rate of an early removal of the catheter 3 hours post-operative after a PVP procedure with GL 180 W/XPS in selected patients on general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. To this end, the investigators realize a national multicenter prospective study including 300 patients. The effectiveness of this model of management is defined by absence of a need for re-catheterization in the post -operative period of 24 hours.
This study aims to explore the feasibility of moxibustion as a supplementary intervention and to assess the sample size for verifying the effectiveness and safety of integrative treatment involving moxibustion compared with conventional treatment for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) accompanying moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Spinal block is the most common anesthetic technique for transurethral resection of prostatectomy (TURP). Most patients undergoing TURP are elderly and frequently present with cardiopulmonary and endocrine diseases. Low-dose local anesthetic is commonly administer to limit the block level to minimize the hemodynamic changes. However, sometimes it may not provide an adequate level of sensory block. Thus, intrathecal additive is frequently administer with local anesthetic to improve analgesic effect. Dexmedetomidine(DXM), a selective 2-adrenoreceptor agonist, has been used in the epidural space in humans without any reports of neurological deficits. Previous clinical studies showed that intravenous dexmedetomidine administration prolonged the sensory and motor blocks of bupivacaine spinal analgesia. But clinical studies about the use of intrathecal DXM with local anesthesia in humans are scarce in the literature. Kanazi et al. found that 3μg DXM added to 12 mg spinal bupivacaine produced the significant short onset of sensory and motor block as well as significantly longer duration of sensory and motor block than bupivacaine. And Al-Mustafa et al. reported that intrathecal dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 12.5mg bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia has a dose dependant effect on the onset and regression of sensory and motor block. In our previous study, low-dose diluted bupivacaine 5 mg provided sufficient anesthetic level when opioid was added with local anesthetic. However, opioid-induced side effects, such as pruritus, nausea, or vomiting, could be an obstacle in common use. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether DXM-low-dose bupivacaine spinal anesthesia can provide the effective spinal anesthesia and postoperative analgesia with minimal side effect compare to the local anesthetic only group. This study was conducted in a randomized, double-blind, controlled fashion. Patients were randomly allocated to DXM group or Saline group. DMT group received hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (1.2 ml) (6 mg) in dextrose 8% solution + DMT 0.3 ml (3 µg)－in total, bupivacaine 0.4% (1.5 ml) intrathecally and Saline group received hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (1.2 ml) (6 mg) in dextrose 8% solution + normal saline 0.3 ml －in total, bupivacaine 0.4% (1.5 ml) intrathecally. After spinal block, the level of sensory block, defined as the dermatomal segment with loss of pain sensation to pin-prick with a 22 G hypodermic needle and cold sensation to alcohol swab was measured every 2 min after intrathecal injection. The investigators recorded the peak sensory block level, time to peak block level from intrathecal injection, blood pressure and heart rate, and analgesic supplementation during operation. The maximum motor block level was assessed according to the modified Bromage scale. During postoperative period, the frequency of analgesic requirement, time to the first analgesic request, and pain scores were evaluated by blind investigator.
Korea has newly adopted 8mg Silodosin once daily. Against these backdrops, this clinical study is designed to demonstrate that the newly adopted dose is not inferior to the existing dose in its efficacy and safety.
Nowadays, prostate cancer screening is largely widespread although it is not recommended yet. This screening includes primarily digital rectal examination and PSA. Recently, a new specific genetic marker of prostate cancer has been discovered. It is PCA-3 gene. The main objective is to evaluate prospectively this new marker in patients treated for prostatic pathology (benign or malign) in the department.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of solifenacin succinate as add-on therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in men who have been treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with tamsulosin hydrochloride for at least 6 weeks
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common hyperplastic disease occuring in human males over the age of 50 which increases in prevalence with age and 40% of males reported moderate or severe urinary symptoms of prostatism by the age of 50 to 80. The purpose of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data for this dosage regimen of cetrorelix pamoate. For this study, study medication (Cetrorelix pamoate) is administered by injection in the buttocks (Intramuscular).
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is a common and bothersome condition of aging men. It is characterized by an enlargement of the prostate occurring in human male over the age of 50 which increases in prevalence with age, and among those aged 50 to 80, about 40% report moderate or severe urinary symptoms of prostatism. The aim of treatment is to improve patients' quality of life which primarily depends on the severity of the symptoms of BPH. Current treatments of BPH have a benefit / risk ratio which leaves room for improvement. For this study, study medication (Cetrorelix pamoate or placebo) is administered by injection in the buttocks (Intramuscular). All patients completing the double-blind portion (Week 0 to 52) are eligible to receive the active drug during the open-label part of the study (Week 52 to 90).
The specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
