Noninvasive Treatment Of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Where Do We Stand In 2005, Abdulla A. Al-Ansari, Ahmed A. Shokeir
Saudi Medical Journal
Noninvasive treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms LUTS due to benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH includes self-management and medical treatment. Self-management should be encouraged as an initial step for all men with uncomplicated LUTS/BPH. It consists of 3 elements, namely: education and reassurance, lifestyle modification of fluid intake and concurrent medical therapy and finally behavioral interventions including management of post-void dribbling and bladder retraining. If self-management fails, medical or surgical interventions are required. Further, research is required to define and test the effectiveness of self-management either as a primary intervention or to augment existing medical therapies.

Saudi Medical Journal
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is very rare, and its exact pathogenesis is unknown. It is characterized by intra-abdominal extracellular gelatinous fluid collections. We report a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei in a 38-year-old Saudi male who presented with right iliac fossa mass and weight loss. He was treated initially as an appendicular mass and computed tomography was helpful in making the diagnosis. He was treated by laparotomy, right hemicolectomy and omentectomy, but no perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy was instilled. He received postoperative chemotherapy and remained alive with no recurrence at 18-month follow-up.
