Objectives: Our objective was determination of the correlation between mean bladder wall thickness and mean IPSS in BPH diagnosed patients. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation, Punjab Medical College / Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: Six months from 01-04-2016 to 30-09-2016. Material & Methods: Total 70 patients were enrolled for study from outpatient department of Urology, AHF. IPSS was calculated and recorded. Transabdominal ultrasound KUB was done to measure bladder wall thickness. Urine complete examination and culture was done to rule out UTI. Existence of bladder tumor was ruled out by previous history and ultrasonography. The data was collected on a Proforma by myself. Results: Out of 70 enrolled cases, 47.14% (n=33) were aged 50-60 years whereas 52.86% (n=37) were 61-70 years of age. Mean age was calculated as 61.27+5.31 years. Mean Bladder Wall thickness was 3.64+0.72 and IPSS was calculated to be 12.84+2.79 (r0.9056). Correlation between mean bladder wall thickness and mean IPSS in patients having benign prostatic hyperplasia was calculated as significant. Conclusion: In patients suffering from BOO due to BPH, we have found a very strong positive correlation between mean IPSS and mean BWT. However, bigger studies using standardized techniques are required to establish this fact.

International Prostatic Symptom Score

Introduction: According to previous studies, aging, gender, bladder volume and pathological states, such as bladder outflow obstruction, affect bladder wall thickness (BWT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between BWT and the International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) before and after tamsulosin treatment.Methods: In this study, 60 BPH patients were included. After obtaining informed consent, data were gathered using questionnaires to determine IPSS. After that, prostate-specific antigen was measured and a clinical examination, including a digital rectal examination, was performed for all patients. BWT was determined by transabdominal ultrasound. Finally, all patients were treated with tamsulosin (0.4 mg/day) for 2 months. After completing treatment, the IPSS and BWT were measured again and compared with the initial findings.Results: In total, 44 patients completed treatment. Patients aged 61.7 ± 9.2 years old. The mean ± standard deviation of IPSS and BWT were 14.6 ± 5.0 and 5.36 ± 1.28 mm before treatment, while they significantly (p < 0.0001) decreased to 8.2 ± 4.7 and 4.69 ± 1.23 mm, respectively, after treatment. Chi-square test showed that the decrease in BWT was significantly correlated with the improvement in IPSS (p = 0.002; r = 0.449).Conclusion: After treatment with tamsulosin, patients experienced a reduction in their BWT which was significantly correlated with improvement in their IPSS. We conclude that transabdominal evaluation of BWT could be included in the follow-up assessment in BPH.

Objective: To determine the correlation of mean serum C - reactive protein with frequency of stroke severity in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular stroke. Study Design: Descriptive Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Medicine, Allied Hospital Punjab Medical College Faisalabad. Period: March 2016 to September 2016 Material & Methods: Patients fulfilling the selection criteria were enrolled in the study. Besides routine laboratory tests, plasma CRP levels on admission were measured in all patients through hospital pathology laboratory. CRP levels were correlated with the results of NIHSS (National institute of health stroke scale) score based assessment of ischemic stroke severity at admission. Results: In our study, out of 50 cases of acute stroke, 62%(n=31) were male and 38%(n=19) were females, mean±sd for age was calculated as 46.82+8.65 years, mean CRP levels was calculated as 8.04+2.15mg/dL, mean NIHSS levels were calculated as 10.08+3. Correlation of mean serum C-reactive protein with frequency of stroke severity in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular stroke was calculated where r value was 0.9183 showing a strong positive correlation, which means that high CRP goes with high NIHSS (and vice versa). Conclusion: We concluded that CRP levels are positively correlated with the frequency of stroke severity in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular stroke.

Objective: Analyze grading of IPSS (International Prostatic Symptom Score) and PV (Prostate Volume) of BPH patients in a subset of Karachi Population. Methodology: A 103 Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) patients were recruited. A cross-sectional study was done Prostate Volume was recorded along with their IPSS also noted. Result: Among BPH patients 25.2% patients had prostate volume of 25 to 30 ml , 52.5% of patient had prostate volume of 30 to 50ml and 22.3% of patients had prostate volume above 50 ml. In IPSS grading 82.5% patients were under moderate symptom group and 17.5% were under severe symptom group. Conclusion: International Prostatic Symptom Score continues to increase as Prostate volume increases
