Although five-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) is one of standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or alopecia, potential complications after 5-ARI have been issues recently.
5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) is a commonly used medicine in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
We considered for inclusion in this systematic review randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PDEIs versus placebo, ABs, or 5-ARIs for at least four weeks in men with BPH-LUTS.
The early arrival of the influenza season overlapping usual hRSV season, the circulation of a drifted influenza virus not covered by vaccine and the high prevalence of risk factors for infection and severity in the village jointly can explain the high attack rate of ARI, even with a high rate of influenza vaccination.
Test-positive subjects were generally older, more likely to present with one of the symptoms of ARI, and less likely to receive vaccination against influenza.
An influenza virus was identified in an estimated 78% (95% CI: 75, 81) and 17% (95% CI: 15, 21) of respiratory hospitalizations attributed to influenza for children and adults, respectively, and 75% of influenza-attributed hospitalizations had an ARI diagnosis.
Our results indicate that (a) VE estimates may suffer from substantial confounding bias when a confounder has a different effect on the probabilities of influenza and non-influenzaARI, and (b) when vaccination reduces the probability of seeking care against influenzaARI, then estimates of VE against MAI may be unbiased while estimates of VE against SI may be have a substantial positive bias.
Sensitivity(95% CI) and specificity (95% CI) for influenza infection were 78% (67-87) and 60% (57-63) for ILI (measured/reported fever); 37% (26-49) and 78% (75-80) for SARI (measured/reported fever); 82% (72-90) and 57% (54-60) for FARI (measured/reported fever); 88% (78-94) and 45% (42-49) for ARI; and 74% (63-84) and 61% (58-64) for measured/reported fever plus cough.
A significant heterogeneity (P = 0.005) was detected across cancer grades when estimating the association between prostate cancer and long-term (≥2 years) 5-ARI use vs no 5-ARI exposure: adjusted conditional odds ratio 1.76 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.97-3.21) for Gleason score ≥8 and 0.64 (95% CI 0.44-0.93) for Gleason score < 8.

Cancer progressions at the time of definitive treatment were analyzed according to the following criteria: (a) progression of Gleason score or increase in cancer volume on biopsy, (b) first biopsy positive for cancer after being treated for urinary symptoms with a 5-ARI, and (c) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression with or without a previous cancer diagnosis.
Updated data have shown no increased risk of death from the diagnosis of higher risk cancer; however, 5-ARIs remain controversial and not approved for prostate cancer prevention.

Our results establish a direct correlation between reexpression of silenced ISGs by epigenetic control and ARI anticancer activity and provide new knowledge for the development of innovative combined therapeutic strategies for colorectal cancer.<i>Cancer </i>.

Hot spot districts for diarrhoea, anaemia and fever were mainly situated in semi-arid areas and those with ARI were located both at the semi-arid areas and coastal portions of Ghana.
5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) is a commonly used medicine in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Patients at least 6 months of age presenting with at least two symptoms of acute respiratory illness, ARI (fever ≥37.8 °C, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, myalgia and phlegm) within 72 h of onset were tested for influenza virus by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
