Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also referred to as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy is the enlargement of the prostate gland. The term hyperplasia is more suitable as the main prostatic changes are caused by the hyperplasia, and not hypertrophy. BPH is a chronic condition commonly affecting men over fifty years of age and its prevalence and severity increases with age. In United States, the incidence of BPH in men 60 years of age and older is 60%, and those of 70 years or older is 90%. Benign
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia is known as a noncancerous overdevelopment of the prostate; it is also called an enlarged prostate. The abbreviation for benign prostatic hyperplasia is, “BPH.” Another term for benign prostatic hyperplasia is benign prostatic hypertrophy but is most commonly known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Major signs and symptoms include: Frequent or urgent need to urinate increased frequency of urination at night (nocturia), difficulty starting urination
Hyperplasia is the early stage development of cells to cancer cells. It increases in cells that have the capability to proliferate at a fast rate. Often times, hyperplasia is correlated with the increase in proliferation and the speed of mitosis. The increase in the number of cells with hyperplasia means that the proliferation is happening at a faster rate than normal. Hyperplasia is considered to be the early stage of dysplasia, though not all hyperplasia leads to dysplasia. In this experiment,
What is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia? Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited condition that affects hormone production in the adrenal gland. The individual lacks enzymes to make cortisol, and hormones are instead are shifted away to make other hormones, specifically androgens. This results in the deficiency of cortisol and the abundance of testosterone. There are 2 types of CAH; classical and non-classical CAH. Classical CAH is the severe form of which there are 2 subtypes, salt-wasting
Should You Use Prostara? What is Prostara and why is it gaining popularity not just for managing BPH but also as a supplement for general prostate health? Read on and find out. Understanding BPH Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common ailments that affect aging men. Statistics show that more than half of the entire male population aged 65 have some form of BPH, while about 90 percent of men aged 85 have the condition. Every year, in the United States alone, about a quarter of
screening. It is found in about 1:3000 screened infants (Dussault, 1993). The major clinical features of untreated congenital hypothyroidism are growth retardation and delayed cognitive development leading to mental deficiency. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia CAH caused by steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency occurs in 1:16,000 to 1:20,000 births. Infants with the salt-losing form of CAH can rapidly become hyperkalemic and die, often without a specific diagnosis.
sexual development (DSD)- “congenital conditions in which the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is atypical” (Arnold/Saguy, Lecture 11)- every once in a while, a pregnant woman, whose first child is born with congenital androgen hyperplasia (CAH), comes to my office asking for a medicinal point of view on the biological, psychological, and ethical methods of treatment of her second child. Since recent advancements in research on ambiguous genitalia has uncovered several treatments
commonly found in older men. As a man gets older, his prostate may get bigger and block the urethra of bladder, which can cause him to have difficulty urinating or even interfere with sexual functions. This condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and although it is not cancer, surgery may be needed to correct it. The symptoms of BPH, or other problems in the prostate may be similar to symptoms of prostate cancer. Some common symptoms of prostate cancer are: weak or interrupted flow
differences between girls and boys. Gonadal hormones highly influence the development of sex differences in terms of behavior and in the brain at different species of animals. There is a unique case where females with genetic disorder congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) –highly exposed to adrenal androgens before birth –shows a more manly behavior and physical energy with higher spatial ability than normal females. Other findings also show similar results caused by masculine hormones by maternal ingestion

Epilepsy Research Paper People most often associate violent twitching, falling to the floor and drooling with epilepsy. However the described event is only one kind of an epileptic seizure, which is called a tonic-clonic seizure. There are many other kinds of seizures, and each has different sets of signs and symptoms. During generalized seizures the whole brain is affected and the initial symptom is loss of consciousness.

lymphatic tissue throughout the body. Castelman’s Disease is not cancer, but, a lymphoproliferative disorder. It is a condition resembling lymphoma but without recognizable malignant cells. It shows as isolated masses of lymphoid tissue and lymph node hyperplasia, usually in the abdominal or mediastinal area. There are two types of the disorder, the first one is the hyaline vascular Unicentric Castleman’s disease type that is a localized form affecting only a single gland (lymph node) in the lymphatic system
The article, Gender differences in preschoolers’ and kindergartners’ artistic production and preference by Boyatzis, Chris J., was studying whether the differences in artistic abilities and artistic preference in gender develop earlier than kindergarten. It was discovered that the gender differences in artistic preferences emerge during preschool years. According to the article, when boys draw, their descriptions of drawings are of cars , monsters, weapons, and themes of aggression. Girls description
phenotype which is characterised by the hypertrophy, or enlargement of muscles as well as the decrease in fat accumulation (Bellinge et al. 2005). This particular mutation not only affects the size of the muscle fibres but also the quantity or hyperplasia (Bellinge et al. 2005). However, it was found that low inhibitors of this gene will cause
of collagen by fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, which in turn inhibit the activity of collagenase, leading to extensive scar hyperplasia. Matrix changes, mainly changes in fibronectin and mucopolysaccharides, result in scar stiffness. MEBO Scar Ointment can accelerate the re-arrangement of twisted collagen andreduce proliferation of fibroblasts, thus restricting scar hyperplasia. [11,13,14,15 ,21] The accumulation and synthesis of mucopolysaccharide can also be reduced once local tissues are compressed

Introduction This paper seeks to understand the MMR vaccine, the nature of autism, the character and research of Andrew Wakefield. Through understanding his initial publication in The Lancet titled "Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children", as well as it’s repercussions and eventual retraction, a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship (or lack there-of) between the MMR vaccine and autism shall be explored. In order
Cushing’s syndrome is a disorder resulting from a prolonged exposure to high levels of glucocorticoids. It is subdivided into two groups based on the cause of the hypercortisolism, either adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) -dependent or –independent.1 ACTH-independent is usually caused by the use of exogenous glucocorticoid therapy 2 or from autonomous cortisol secretion by the adrenal glands.1 The most common cause of endogenous ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome is caused by autonomous adrenal overproduction
