Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are one of the most common conditions in the urology clinic, affecting at least one in four men after 40 years of age. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common cause of LUTS. Bladder dysfunction (hypersensitivity or detrusor overactivity) and bladder outlet obstruction are two main pathologies involved in the etiology of LUTS. In men aged 40-49, moderate and severe LUTS are reported as 26%, while this ratio is doubled in the age group of 70 years and older. Clinically, BPH is defined as an international symptom score of more than 8, a prostate volume of more than 30 ml, and a maximum flow rate of less than 15 ml / sec. Alpha blockers are recommended as the first-line medical treatment according to European Urology Guidelines (EAU Guidelines 2018) for patients diagnosed with BPH clinically. In recent years, many studies have been published on the relationship of urinary biomarkers with LUTS. Nerve growth factor and brain derived neurotrophic factor have been shown to be closely related to neurogenic or non-neurogenic detrusor overactivity and significant improvements were observed after treatment.The relationship between urinary glycosaminoglycan and overactive bladder has been shown and it has been reported that the values have decreased after treatment.Male patients with LUTS caused by BPH often have symptoms of overactive bladder. However, as far as we know, there is no study in the literature about the meaning of urinary GAG levels in this patient group. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between urinary glycosaminoglycan levels and patients who had benign prostatic hyperplasia with and without overactive bladder symptoms.

Several molecular studies showed chromosomal alterations in patients with endometrial cancer, with gains in 1q, 19p, 19q, 8q, 10q and 10p and loss of 4q, 16q and 18q. Several genes of interest have been identified (P53, PTEN, PIK3CA, ß-catenin, K-ras ...). A study has already been carried out at the Reims University Hospital with inclusion of patients with endometrial cancer and patients with endometrial hyperplasia. It identified specific alterations of nosologic continuum of pathology and characterize areas of interest on the genome.

To detect the prevalence of gonadal changes by US among the patients with CAH. assess the patients' radiological findings in relation to their hormonal profile. early management and prevention of complications resulting from possible gonadal dysfunction.

Majority of patients with hypertension have primary hypertension (without an underlying cause). Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, and can be found in 5-10% of patients locally. PA is caused by excessive release of a hormone (aldosterone) from the adrenal glands, which can be unilateral (one gland) or bilateral (both glands). It has been shown that excess aldosterone has other harmful effects in addition to hypertension, such as directly affecting the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This is supported by studies showing reversal of these effects after treatment for PA. The investigators aim to assess the long-term cardiovascular, and renal outcomes of patients with PA, compared to patients with essential hypertension.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is a common disease in urology among old men. If BPH symptom cannot be controlled by drugs, then transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), is recommended. Although the procedure is quit safe, these old men often take anticoagulants and antiplatelets to control cardiovascular diseases, which arose some concerns for their bleeding risk. The management of anticoagulation in patients undergoing surgical procedures is challenging because interrupting anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. At the same time, surgery and invasive procedures have associated bleeding risks that are increased by the anticoagulant administration. Now, the recommendation about anticoagulants and antiplatelets discontinuation had no concrete evidence, especially in TURP. Furthermore, there is no relative studies done in Taiwan population, which calls for further investigation.

The extend of steroid biosynthesis and action is mainly dependent on underlying genetic polymorphisms and gene mutations. These sequence variations in multiple genes involved in steroid biosynthesis and action cause different diseases (for example congenital adrenal hyperplasia or disorders of sex development). In addition, sequence variations in several other genes may influence the severity of a genetically caused disease of steroid biosynthesis or action. By this, the differences in an observed phenotype may be explained. Within the study all genes necessary for adrenal and gonadal steroid biosynthesis and several genes which are known to influence the action of steroid hormones will be analysed in patients with congenital disorders of adrenal and gonadal steroid biosynthesis, disorders of steroid action and disorders of sex development. The primary aim is to set up a correlation of the disease phenotype with the different genotypes detected.

The purpose of this study is to create a biobank, which collects, stores, and distributes samples of human tissues, blood, and related health information to qualified scientists, in order to help doctors and researchers better understand why Castleman Disease occurs and develop ways to better treat and prevent it.

Every year more than 70 000 interventions for prostatic adenoma are realized. Several type of surgery are realized going of the ambulatory to longer hospital lengths of stay. There are also several techniques.However it appears that ambulatory surgery is less costly. The arguments of surgeons are patients reluctance or the difficulty to manage in case of complication. The aim of the study is to show that there is a good acceptance from patient with a good level of satisfaction at day 30.

This study investigates if Parathyroid Tissues Anatomic Localizations Are Displaced Downward in Parathyroid Hyperplasia Cases or not.

Lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) are the main symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), a benign but progressive disease which can advance to be with overactive bladder(OAB) symptoms. Moreover, LUTS and OAB symptoms can badly influence patients' especially the elderly's quality of life. Therefore, it appears to be urge to carry out researches on the functional impairment of bladder along with the advance of BPH. Besides, the management aimed at improving the LUTS and OAB symptoms come to be the key one among the management of BPH. For a long period, medication and surgery sustain to be the two most common therapies for BPH patients. Both patients and urologists prefer pharmacotherapeutics to surgery，which contributes to the rising number of BPH patients companied with OAB symptoms and storing symptoms complaint post-surgery. In fact, investigators usually find bladder impairment macroscopically in the BPH surgery: mild may be the trabeculation, worse can be the cabin, and severe may be the diverticula. Furthermore, it's not uncommon that patients with a long BPH history continually suffer from dysuria after surgery due to the detrusor muscle weakness. Consequently, investigators need to catch a moment when investigators should operate on such a patient in order to harvest a satisfying outcome. And perhaps the moment should be ahead of the existing guideline suggests. Thus, for understanding the influence of BPH on bladder function, investigators plan to conduct a prospective, case-control study recruiting in-patients with different degree of obstruction. Our team wish that such a clinical trail could provide valuable evidence for us to find out relatively better operating timing and serial indications. For the purpose of improving the quality of life and prolong life-span, investigators design the study above to maximum the operating outcome and minimize the bladder dysfunction.
