Prostatic abscess: Objective assessment of the treatment approach in the absence of guidelines
2014, Arab Journal of UrologyCitation Excerpt :In the current algorithm, an age of 40–50 years was used as a threshold for the beginning of LUTS secondary to BPH. Despite the significantly different proportion of men having LUTS, a clear trend towards an increase in symptom scores with increasing age is reported in all population-based studies [15]. So in our algorithm, BOO is considered as an influential factor after that age.
A contemporary assessment of nocturia: Definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management - A systematic review and meta-analysis
2012, European UrologyCitation Excerpt :These publications have emphasized that nocturia is a symptom that has been underreported, understudied, and often not adequately considered [6–8]. The reports follow the introduction [9] and the further development of the concept of LUTS [10], which has heralded a new era for medical research and clinical practice improvement in the field of functional urology. Given the growing interest in nocturia as an important cornerstone of LUTS, the aim of the present work was to provide a systematic review of the available scientific evidence regarding the definition, physiopathology, epidemiology, and management of nocturia.
Drug development for LUTS - The challenge for industry
2012, Drug Discovery Today: Therapeutic StrategiesCitation Excerpt :LUTS may occur independently of BPH or secondary to BPH, or originating from bladder dysfunction but in either case can involve obstructive or irritative mechanisms with substantial pathophysiological overlap. While the precise mechanism still remains unclear, it is now being increasingly recognised in both men and women that LUTS comprise an age-related, progressive, non-sex-specific, non-organ-specific group of symptoms [59]. Our improved understanding of the complex nature of the lower urinary tract functional unit better enables us to develop appropriate therapies.
