Background: The choice of treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and kidney stone disease (KSD) impacts the attainment of successful ageing and the level of patient care required in the long-term. Medications and surgeries typically used for these conditions have serious side effects and can interfere with healthy aging. Objectives: This study assesses the impact of Dr Allen’s Therapeutic devices (DATD) and thermobalancing therapy® (TT) on the ageing process of people with BPH and KSD. Methods: This study evaluated the outcomes of a clinical trial investigating the dynamics of symptoms and parameters in 124 male patients with BPH who used DATD as a monotherapy for six months at home and compared the results with a control group including 124 BPH patients who did not receive treatment with DATD. Furthermore, five case studies were randomly selected for assessment from 10-year empirical observations of patients with KSD treated with DATD. Results: DATD with TT reduced prostate volume (PV) from 45 mL to 31 mL (P < 0.001) and reduced urinary symptoms score from 14.2 to 4.9 (P < 0.001). It also improved quality of life (QoL) as measured by the reduction in the International Prostate Symptom score (I-PSS) from 3.9 to 1.3 (P < 0.001), while the control group showed no positive changes. DATD with TT dissolved kidney stones without renal colic in all patients. No side effects were observed. Conclusions: Using DATD and TT to treat BPH and KSD demonstrated high efficacy, safety, and easy disease management at home. In contrast, medications and surgeries for BPH and KSD often lead to sexual dysfunction, depression, hypertension, chronic kidney failure, and other morbidities, requiring an increased care level in the long-term. Thus, DATD and TT generate high treatment efficacy with lower exposure to coronavirus, reduce long-term care needs, and are vital to attaining successful ageing and longevity.

AbstractBackground and purposeVisceral and somatic afferents activate the same neuronal structures in the central nervous system. Assessing somatosensory function and trophic changes in the referred pain area may therefore indirectly increase information on mechanisms involved in painful visceral diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory and trophic changes in the flank corresponding to the referred pain area in patients with kidney stone disease.MethodsA total of 24 patients with unilateral pain-causing kidney stone disease were studied before and after endoscopic percutaneous kidney stone surgery. Trophic changes and sensitivity on the affected and on the contra-lateral side in the pain free period were investigated. For this purpose we used standardized experimental sensory testing including pressure stimulation and electrical (single and repeated) skin stimulation. Five repeated stimuli were used to investigate temporal summation (increased responses to repeated stimuli). To investigate trophic changes ultrasound as well as CT-scan was used, since the latter is considered more precise for exact tissue layer measurements.ResultsThe pain tolerance thresholds to pressure and pain thresholds to electrical stimulation were not significantly different on the two sides (all P>0.1). After surgery no significant alterations in sensitivity were detected, but there was a tendency to higher pain thresholds to electrical stimuli on the affected side (single stimuli P=0.06; repeated stimuli P=0.09). No trophic changes were observed (all P>0.3), and there were no relations between the pain thresholds or trophic findings and the number of colics (all P >0.08).ConclusionIn patients with unilateral pain-causing kidney stone disease the pain to experimental pressure and electrical stimuli were comparable on the affected and contra-lateral side. For the first time a CT-scan was used to evaluate tissue thickness in the referred pain area. No trophic changes were seen in the muscle or subcutaneous tissue at the affected side, and there were no correlations between the pain thresholds or trophic findings and the patients history of number of colics. After the operation no significant alterations in sensitivity were detected.ImplicationsThis study could not confirm previous studies showing referred hyperalgesia in the skin and trophic changes in the referred pain area to painful visceral disease. Differences in the pain intensity/duration between different diseases and hence the corresponding central neuronal changes may explain the negative findings in the present study.

Nutrition And Diet

The prevalence of kidney stone disease is increasing worldwide. The recurrence rate of urinary stones is estimated to be up to 50%. Nephrolithiasis is associated with increased risk of chronic and end stage kidney disease. Diet composition is considered to play a crucial role in urinary stone formation. There is strong evidence that an inadequate fluid intake is the major dietary risk factor for urolithiasis. While the benefit of high fluid intake has been confirmed, the effect of different beverages, such as tap water, mineral water, fruit juices, soft drinks, tea and coffee, are debated. Other nutritional factors, including dietary protein, carbohydrates, oxalate, calcium and sodium chloride can also modulate the urinary risk profile and contribute to the risk of kidney stone formation. The assessment of nutritional risk factors is an essential component in the specific dietary therapy of kidney stone patients. An appropriate dietary intervention can contribute to the effective prevention of recurrent stones and reduce the burden of invasive surgical procedures for the treatment of urinary stone disease. This narrative review has intended to provide a comprehensive and updated overview on the role of nutrition and diet in kidney stone disease.
