Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

The purpose of this ex-vivo study is to evaluate the insertion procedure for the ProstaPlant implant in human prostates and the support that it supplies to the prostate.

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether changing antibiotic prophylaxis from fluoroquinolones alone to fluoroquinolones plus gentamicin 160mg single IM dose or targeted antibiotic prophylaxis according to rectal swab culture would influence infectious complication rates in those men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.

Patients followed in the Foch Hospital Urology Department (Suresnes): Patients justifying a prostatectomy. Patients justifying prostatectomy together with the bladder (radical cystectomy for bladder cancer). Patients with benign prostate hyperplasia who justified a prostatectomy. Compare serum sexual steroid concentrations and intra-tissue on healthy prostates and prostate adenoma, assess concentrations intra-tissue sex steroids on cancer metastasis prostate specific blood sample under study (30mL) will be performed preoperatively in Patients followed in Foch Hospital Urology Department (Suresnes), and a Removal of a fragment of prostate tissue or metastasis will be analyze. Aim is to compare serum concentrations of sexual steroids and intra-tissue on healthy prostates and prostate adenomas compared to concentrations measured in patients operated for prostate cancer.

Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in liver is the second common benign hepatic tumor. It usually shows hypervascular mass on imaging studies and it is not easy to differentiate with other hypervascular malignant tumor. For diagnosis of FNH, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (US) has been used to detect 'spoke-wheel sign', which can be typically seen in FNH. However, temporal window of vascular phase using contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) is very short (about 10 sec) and coordination of patient's respiration during US exam is absolutely needed. Thus, the investigators will use Superb-Microvascular imaging (SMI, Toshiba, Japan) for detection of 'spoke-wheel sign' in patients with proven FNH, which enable to detect slow micro vascular flow without using CEUS. First, to compare the detection rate of 'spoke-wheel sign' between CEUS using sonazoid (Perfluorobutane, GE healthcare) and SMI. Second, to compare the accuracy of size measurement between gray-scale US and SMI (reference standard: CEUS using sonazoid.)

To determine if early apical release holmium enucleation of the prostate (EAR HoLEP), as a surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, reduces post-operative urinary incontinence compared to classic HoLEP.

This PHRC is centred on the intestinal epithelial dysplasia ( DEI) or " tufting enteropathy " or TE the clinical and histo-pathological descriptions of which are specified well to the digestive plan(shot).

Hypothesis: Dutasteride will perform better than finasteride in decreasing prostate volume, improving symptoms based on International Prostate Symptom score,and lower pvr based on the scientific information that dutasteride inhibits both Type I and II 5-alpha-reducatase vs. finasteride which only inhibits the Type II enzyme

The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms involved in the apoptosis induced by a treatment of finasteride on benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Five sets of patients who need a surgical procedure because of low tract urinary symptoms are randomly attributed to one of five sets of treatment: 0, 7, 14, 21 or 28 days of finasteride treatment before the day of the procedure. Prostate histological fragments are conditioned for molecular and histologic studies.

Patients who are currently symptomatic and have been diagnosed with BPH by a physician may qualify for this 20-week study. Patients must not be diabetic, must not have prostate cancer and must not have had any surgery to repair your prostate or treat your BPH. Patients will first undergo a phone screening to confirm their eligibility and interest and to rule out any exclusionary history or medications. Eligible patients will be scheduled to come in to the clinic to sign an Informed Consent Form. Patients will then undergo blood and urine tests, a complete physical examination and history and answer several questionnaires to determine their eligibility. Patients will have a total of at least 7-8 visits over 20 weeks to the clinic during this study.Qualified patients receive free study medication, free medical care (physical examinations, EKG, laboratory tests) for the duration of the study.

The ProArc Medical ClearRing system is a prostatic reshaping device that is designed to treat Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. During the procedure an implant is delivered into the prostate tissue obstructing the urethra and restricting urine flow. The delivery system uses an electrocutting blade to perform a circular incision, in which the implant is placed. The implant expands the obstructed area, and allows fluid flow through the prostatic urethra
