...Show More Authors

The present study aimed to determine the serum sex hormone levels among Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) patients before and after 3 months of oral administration of 5-α reductase inhibitor(finasteride). Forty BPH patients and 40 healthy men from Amara city were involved in this study, their ages were between 40-59 year. They were all subjected  to direct estimation of hormones by MinVidas method including Testosterone (T), Estradiol (E2), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Prolactin (PRL), and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) before and after 3 months of treatment with 5α-reductase inhibitor (finasteride) (the healthy individuals didn’t take finasteride).The results showed that T level was significantly lower (P<0.05) in pre-treated compared to the post-treated patients and control group, whereas no significant difference was observed between the two latter groups. Levels of E2 - and DHT were significantly lower (P<0.01) in post-treated compared to the pre-treated patients with no significant difference with control group, while they were significantly higher (P<0.01) in pre-treated patients compared to control group. FSH and LH levels showed no significant differences in the pre-treated in comparison with post-treated and control groups. PRL levels insignificantly higher in pre-treated in comparison with post-treated patients, while significantly higher (P<0.05) in comparison with control group, with the later showing a significant lower (P<0.05) in comparison with post-treated patients. It is concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitor (finasteride) plays a role in decreasing levels of DHT and E2 which have vital roles in enlargement of prostate.

the student of the structure of the city and its constituent elements will clearly sense the invisible relationships that underlie the different forms of urban activity, which in turn are defined by the generality of the urban patterns in that city, which will vary clearly according to the location in the city. These relations will be embodied in their true form in the interactions between the different uses of the earth, and the change that will result from their regularity in the form of entities in independent groups, which may share with each other a component of it.
Therefore, the process of controlling the functional interactions between the uses of the urban land and the awareness of t

Considerable advancements have been made in the field of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medicines (DMARDs), which effectively mitigate inflammation and forestall further joint deterioration. Anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) drugs, which are a class of biological DMARDs (bDMARDs), have been efficaciously employed in the treatment of RA in recent times Adalimumab, a TNF inhibitor, has demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing disease symptoms and halting disease progression in patients with RA. However, its use is associated with major side effects and high costs. In addition,
