Clinical Interests General urology: Urology is my vocation as one profession indicated but mind is stimulated in all types of conferences. Though a private pilot non-flyer now, aviation, aerospace medicine, participated in aviation accident e.g AF447 - summation: automation-human interfacing is sometimes beyond human capacity resulting in inability to control a situation --Aviation accuracy as would be expected by accurate instruments possibly by the same co. is illustrated by Brazilian Head on collision of planes on opposing path assigned the same height; hoping medical instrumentation and procedures reach such accuracy! Medical science needs to be more Quantimat centric leading at least to assistable automation. A lot of answers are available but what are the Questions? Question or a thought around any subject is a good measure of a medico and for that matter anyone."

According to the National Survey of Family Growth, between 2006 and 2010, only 27 of subfertile men aged 25 to 44 years had received any infertility-related advice Natl Health Stat Report 2014; 73:1-21. It is clear from these data that in many infertile couples, only the female partner is evaluated.

5-ARI e.g. Proscar use reduces prostate Ca risk for up to 16 years

https:www.urologytimes.comprostate-cancer5-ari-use-reduces-prostate-ca-risk-16-years

It appears that the prostate cancer risk reduction by finasteride use for a limited number of years may continue over the long term 21.1 decreased risk for a median of 16 years. Hopefully, this and previous research confirming the long-term reduction in prostate cancer diagnosis will give urologists a strong reason to take a second look at the use of finasteride for prostate cancer prevention.

MyTake: If fewer biopsies are done because community seems to act at PSA elevation above PSA 4 and the pattern of PSA is muted to falsely lower trajectory by finasteride impacting judgement into delaying biopsies-- MORE BIOPSIES MORE LIKELY CANCER FOUND- whether that find is lower grade enough to observe.. is a different matter.

"Our data suggest that PSA suppression in this population was not routinely accounted for during screening for prostate cancer, and that this led to delays in diagnosis," said study lead author Reith Sarkar.

MyTake: Lab items can have "ProcarredPSA" Patient on Proscar vs usual PSA and serial reading and corrected to non "Proscarred" value need on ongoing basis as I do for interpretation and have bxs
