Article Abstract

Antecedentes: La patología de la próstata más frecuente es la hiperplasia prostática benigna. A los 50 años, el 50% de los hombres son diagnosticados y a los 80 años aumenta hasta al 90%. La prevalencia de disfunción eréctil en conjunto con hiperplasia prostática benigna es del 5.2-40%, y los pacientes con hiperplasia prostática benigna es 1.33-6.24 veces más frecuente que tengan disfunción eréctil que aquellos sin hiperplasia prostática benigna. Ambas afecciones repercuten en la calidad de vida.

Objetivo: Identificar la calidad de vida y el grado de disfunción eréctil en pacientes con hiperplasia prostática benigna.

MÉtodo: Estudio transversal, descriptivo, en pacientes con crecimiento prostático benigno a los cuales se les aplicaron dos cuestionarios: SF-12 para calidad de vida e Índice Internacional de Función Eréctil versión 5 para disfunción eréctil.

Resultados: Fueron 101 pacientes, edad media de 66.5 ± 8.5 años, promedio físico de 38.68, promedio mental de 43.35, 14 de ellos sin disfunción eréctil y 38 con disfunción eréctil leve, 33 leve a moderada, 15 moderada y 1 grave.

Conclusiones: Los pacientes con hiperplasia prostática benigna tienen una salud física mala y una salud mental buena. El 70.3% de los pacientes muestran grado leve o leve-moderado de disfunción eréctil.

Background: The most frequent prostatic pathology is benign prostatic hyperplasia. By the age of 50, 50% are diagnosed with it and by the age of 80, it increases to 90%. The erectile dysfunction prevalence along benign prostatic hyperplasia is 5.2%-40%. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are 1.33-6.24 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction tan without benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Objective: To identify quality of life and to grade erectile dysfunction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Method: A transversal, descriptive study was conducted in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Two questionnaires were applied: SF-12 for quality of life and IIEF-5 for erectile dysfunction.

Results: 101 patients, mean age 66.5 ± 8.5 years, mean physical aspect 38.68, mean mental aspect 43.35, 14 without erectile dysfunction, 38 mild grade, 33 mild to moderate, 15 moderate and 1 severe.

Conclusions: Benign prostatic hyperplasia patients have poor physical health and good mental health. 70.3% of patients have a grade of erectile dysfunction between mild and mild-moderate.

Prostate cancer and inflammation mechanism are closely related because chronic inflammation causes inflammatory cells to infiltrate into prostatic atrophy areas and proliferative inflammatory atrophy is accepted as the initiator of prostate cancer. The study included 90 patients (28 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 35 patients with localized prostate cancer (LPCa), and 27 patients with metastatic prostate cancer (MPCa) and 90 healthy controls. Blood samples from 90 patients and 90 healthy people were used to isolate genomic DNA.

Background: Prostatic diseases, consisting of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa), pose significant health challenges. While single-omics studies have provided valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in prostatic diseases, integrating multi-omics approaches is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.

Methods: A genome-wide meta-analysis was conducted for prostatic diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from FinnGen and UK Biobank.

Unusual Bridge-Shaped Hyperplastic Polyp in the Sigmoid Colon.

CRSLS

September 2025

Faculty of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Intensive Care Medicine, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, Türkiye. (Dr. Demirer Aydemir).

We present a rare morphological variant of a colonic polyp observed during a routine screening colonoscopy. A 62-year-old male with known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was found to have a bridge-shaped polyp in the sigmoid colon. The polyp was successfully resected via snare polypectomy following submucosal adrenaline injection.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in males worldwide. Serum prostate-specific antigen is a frequently employed biomarker in the diagnosis and risk stratification of prostate cancer; however, it is known for its low predictive accuracy for disease progression. New prognostic biomarkers are needed to distinguish aggressive prostate cancer from low-risk disease.
