Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a transformational acquisition, with the company entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Antev, a U.S.-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm. The acquisition positions Medicus Pharma to significantly expand its pipeline into high-impact therapeutic areas, particularly in urology and men's health. Under the terms of the agreement, Antev shareholders may receive up to US$65 million in additional contingent consideration, depending on the successful achievement of future milestones, including FDA Phase 2 and New Drug Application (NDA) approvals, as outlined in the definitive agreement. Antev is currently developing Teverelix, a next-generation GnRH antagonist being advanced as a first-in-market therapeutic for two high-need indications: cardiovascular high-risk prostate cancer patients and men experiencing their first episode of acute urinary retention (AURr) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly referred to as enlarged prostate. In addition to its pipeline expansion, Medicus Pharma is reinforcing its executive leadership to support its rapidly scaling global operations. Dr. Bokhari announced the appointment of Andrew Smith as Chief Operating Officer, bringing experience from Aberdeen Asset Management to help guide the company's growth across North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. To further strengthen governance and regulatory engagement, the company has nominated former U.S. Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers—who previously chaired the House Energy and Commerce Committee—to join its board. Her expertise in healthcare policy and FDA relations is expected to be instrumental as Medicus navigates the next phase of clinical and regulatory milestones. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

Prostate cancer screening isn't just clinical—it's personal. Especially when headlines make it political.In this episode Tracy breaks down the buzz around President Joe Biden's recent prostate cancer diagnosis—and uses the moment to teach, clarify, and contextualize what it really means to screen for prostate cancer in 2025.As a former Urology PA, Tracy brings her clinical experience and clear communication to an often-misunderstood topic. She walks through:What the prostate does and how PSA testing worksWhat elevates PSA levels (that isn't cancer)Why BPH complicates the pictureWhat Gleason scores tell us about cancer aggressivenessCurrent USPSTF and AUA guidelines for prostate cancer screeningHow shared decision-making, not headlines, should guide patient careThis episode is a reminder to return to nuance and individualize care—especially when the world is watching.

We have a great episode planned and will focus on Men's Health with a highlight on Hormones. Men are just as vulnerable as Women to having hormonal imbalances or even hormonal issues, but it is just not talked about enough.  Today we will talk about who, what, when and where.Talking Points:-Why do men need testosterone?Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in men's health. Low or deficient levels are associated with fatigue, weight gain, muscle and bone mass loss, low libido, depression, impotence, poor memory, and other symptoms.There are many reasons why men can have low testosterone.-How common is Low Testosterone?Low or deficient testosterone in males is problematic in America. According to the Cleveland Clinic, low testosterone affects almost 40% of men aged 45 and older! Testosterone deficiency negatively affects a man's quality of life and is a known risk factor for early death. Testosterone levels are at their highest levels by early adulthood and then decrease by 1% to 2% a year beginning in the 40's.-What causes Low Testosterone?I find that testosterone deficiency or sub-optimal testosterone levels are common in both men and women. If your testosterone levels are low, then you may experience:FatigueLow libidoPoor memory and concentrationLoss of muscle massLoss of bone massIncreased body fatPoor exercise recoveryElevated cholesterol levelsDepressionDecreased resistance to stressErectile Dysfunction (men)Increased heart disease risk-Are there certain foods that can raise or lower Testosterone?-Estrogen Dominance in Men-Let's move on and talk about the Prostate. What is Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH?-ROOT CAUSES-How Common-Can it lead to Hormone Imbalance?-ED and Low Libido-Bladder and urinary tract issues?-Any Supportive Supplements for Men dealing with lower Testosterone levels?There are not many supplements proven to increase men's testosterone levels. However, a unique extract of the ayurvedic herb known as ashwagandha has been shown in several studies to elevate male testosterone levels.The ashwagandha extract known as KSM-66 was shown in a recent study to significantly increase blood testosterone levels and sexual well-being. The study involved fifty participants with low sexual desire who were given KSM-66 at a dose of 600 mg or placebo daily. Outcomes were measured with a questionnaire and blood testosterone levels at the beginning and end of the 8-week study. Compared to the placebo, the KSM-66 demonstrated significant benefits.The ashwagandha extract in this study is the same one I use in Testosterone Health  (which has 675 mg of KSM-66 per serving). This supplemental approach gives men the potential to improve their libido and testosterone levels without prescription testosterone.-Does Saw Palmetto Really Help the Prostate?Learn more about Dr.StenglerLearn more about Emerald Labs and save 20% off with the code: Forever

June 6, 2025 In this episode, Ray, Mark, and Scott welcome back Dr. John Lin to discuss topics brought up on the Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group.1) Just got a call from ER. 19 year-old cannot get an erection...2) This notice came from the hospital last week regarding change in financial protocol about scheduled / elective surgical procedures.Increased Patient Responsibility:As is customary in the Phoenix market and in-line with other providers, we will move the down payment requirement to 50%. We will be increasing the required patient payment for deductibles and co-pays prior to the day of surgery from 20% to 50% of the estimated patient liability.3) Our office will be beginning PAE {prostatic artery embolization) for BPH in the near future. This will be performed in the office, POS 11 by an interventional radiologist, who will manage the sedation and the performance of the procedure. We have not had to bill for conscious sedation in the office before. I was hoping to get some guidance on what codes should be investigated for the anesthesia portion (administration, meds, etc.) so we can better prepare ourselves for what is to come.Bonus TopicI received an email from a surgery center recently which stated the following: Recently, we have been using a larger number of disposable ureteroscopes which are very costly to the Center. In order to capture the code C9761 for reimbursement of the disposable flexible ureteroscopes, we need your dictation to reflect the usage of that scope and that suction/aspiration was used.  A vendor's representative has provided a few examples from other physicians that have resulted in successful reimbursement of these scopes. Below are the examples. The op report documents a steerable and suction/aspiration was used. It says "A disposable single use flexible scope with steerable and suction/aspiration was used to improve stone-free rate."The op report documents only a scope using a suction feature. It says "A disposable flexible ureteroscope utilizing a suction feature was utilized for the procedure."   If you are not already, please have your dictation reflect that you are using a disposable flexible ureteroscope with suction so that we can bill for reimbursement. As always, we appreciate your help with cost containment and appropriate reimbursement for the Center.

Today, our guest is Tom, a 67-year-old retired senior executive who found it challenging to get an accurate diagnosis and find effective treatment for his enlarged prostate. Frustrated by his limited options and with a growing sense of mistrust, he consulted with several providers before realizing he needed the guidance of a prostate health coach. Tom retired as a senior IT executive with over 40 years of experience leading transformative technology strategies to drive business growth for global organizations. He led global IT initiatives for Fortune 500 companies across various industries, including financial services, retail, media, manufacturing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It is hardly surprising that Tom struggled with an enlarged prostate, since 70% of men over the age of 60 suffer from BPH. We are excited to have him on the podcast today to discuss his BPH experience and share how the Prostate Health Academy gave him the tools and confidence he needed to navigate his treatment process.  Stay tuned for more!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Carlos: Hello Dr Cabral, You have changed my wife and I's life over the past year! Real quick question, my wife found out she has an 8mm simple cyst located at the pancreatic head. It does not bother my wife and she has zero pain. We are wondering how we could go about getting it removed/shrunken? Would you recommend the 21 day detox or a cleanse of some sort? Thank you for taking the time every week to answer questions.                                                                                   Alberto: I am 71 and was diagnosed with BPH. My PSA is low and testosterone levels are in range for my age. The urologist mention that it's very large and no treatment at this stage except surgery. I was referred to have an MRI. Any natural solution to improve my situation. I am not diabetic, have normal blood pressure and weight. Follow a low carb diet, intermittent fasting 5 days a week and 3 days fast once a month. I am Very confused about the right amount of animal protein intake in this situation? I take supplements regularly. Add red Maca, moringa and turmeric extract, pomegranate to my shake. Any recommendations please. Thanks.                                                                                                                                       Jessica: I no longer have my gallbladder, adenoids, tonsils, or appendix. Three kids later and I am suffering. I am struggling to detox, and absorb my food, or get enough healthy fats and fat soluable vitamins in my diet. I take TUDCA, Bile Salts, digestive enzymes, and binders and do coffee enemas. Do you have any resources for me that could support me, while also following relatively close protocols as your own?              Zach: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am a 26 year old male that works out and is quite healthy, Ive been using testosterone, hcg, dhea for my HRT, for the past 2 years and 9 months. My total T before starting treatment was 550 so I was never hypogonadal and I very impulsively hopped on testosterone. I want to quit due to the side effects, hair loss, libido fluctuations, etc, and to see if I can produce my natural high levels again. In your experience what are my odds that my body will be able to recover its natural production and that I can regrow my hair? By the way Ive been working with an ihp for a year now and am much healthier! Thank you sir! Zach                                                                                                          Byran: Hi Dr Cabral. I have gut issues and have a rainbow of symptoms. The most debilitating one is gut pain around the mid-lower right side of my large intestine(?). Often, it's at it WORST in the AM and causes me to wake up around 4-5. After being awake for 1.5 hours, I fall back to sleep. Was told its my appendix and almost had it removed in '22-'23. Doctors I've met with recently said if it were my appendix, it would hurt more. Been diagnosed with hiatal hernia, LPR, IBS, slow gut motility, stool burden, diverticulosis etc. To cut a long story short, not looking for a diagnosis, just wondering if you've seen this in your practice. Namely, early morning gut discomfort on the right side (colon?) which often subsides as the morning progresses or is relieved via bowel movements. All the best,                                                               Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3362 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined again by NAU Urology Specialists' very own Interventional Radiologist, Dr. Preston Smith!  In this episode that should be called "Prostate artery embolization versus varicocele artery embolization," you'll learn what both are and how artery embolization treats them.  Prostate artery embolization works sort of like plugging up a dam so blood flow is lessened or minimized to the prostate.  This helps shrink the prostate to minimize BPH symptoms or can shrink the prostate to get it ready for a procedure when the prostate needs to be smaller.  Varicocele artery embolization is also discussed.  Varicoceles can commonly cause testicular pain and contribute to infertility so minimizing them can certainly help reduce the discomfort and pain.  Tune into listen to all of the interesting ways this minimally invasive procedure can help so many different issues.  Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists, in 2007.  Donna Lee has worked with Dr. Mistry since 2017 and is now NAU Urology Specialists' Director of Business Development.  She's also a professional standup comedian. We enjoy hearing from you!

BUFFALO, NY - April 15, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on April 4, 2025, titled “Association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 1 and 2 genes and cell proliferative prostatic diseases in Lebanon." The team of researchers led by first author Brock J. Sheehan and corresponding author Ruhul H. Kuddus, from Utah Valley University, discovered that a specific genetic variation in the PTGS2 gene is associated with a higher risk of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in aging men. The study, which focused on Lebanese men, suggests that the C allele of the -765 G>C polymorphism in the PTGS2 gene may increase risk to this non-cancerous but problematic prostate condition. This finding could help identify men at greater risk earlier and lead to better treatment choices. Benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer are two common conditions that involve abnormal cell growth in the prostate gland. While prostate cancer is malignant and potentially life-threatening, BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement that can still significantly affect quality of life. Both conditions are widespread in older men, with BPH affecting over 70% of men above 60. Researchers have long suspected that inflammation-related genes may play a role in their development. In this study, the focus was to study PTGS1 and PTGS2, genes that help produce enzymes involved in inflammation. Using DNA samples from 168 Lebanese men, including 61 with prostate cancer, 51 with BPH, and 56 healthy controls, the researchers analyzed two common gene variants. They found no link between the PTGS1 variant and either condition. However, the PTGS2 variant showed a strong association with BPH. Men carrying the C version of this gene were more than twice as likely to have BPH compared to those without it. While a similar trend was observed in men with prostate cancer, the results were less conclusive. "The C allele of SNP-765G>C of the PTGS2 gene was significantly associated with an increased risk of BPH (OR = 2.30, p-value = 0.01)." This is the first study to report a genetic link between the C allele of the -765 G>C polymorphism in the PTGS2 gene and BPH in Lebanese men. It builds on earlier findings that associated this gene variant with various cancers, including prostate, colon, and stomach cancers. Although based on a relatively small and specific population, the study offers new insight that could help improve genetic screening and guide prevention strategies. The research also points to the potential benefits of COX-2 inhibitors—drugs already used to treat prostate conditions—which may be more effective for men with certain PTGS2 gene types. Further studies in larger and more diverse groups are needed to confirm these results and explore how this gene variant influences prostate disease. In the future, simple genetic tests could help identify men at higher risk before symptoms appear, allowing for earlier and more personalized care.

Story at-a-glance BPH is not just a part of aging — While prostate enlargement becomes more common with age, research shows that metabolic dysfunction is also a key driver of disease progression Inflammation fuels prostate growth — Men with BPH have higher levels of inflammatory lipids that promote tissue remodeling and chronic inflammation Metabolic dysfunction worsens BPH severity — Research shows that men with both BPH and metabolic syndrome experience faster disease progression and greater symptom severity Omega-6 fats are a hidden culprit — Excess linoleic acid, the primary omega-6 fat in vegetable oils, fuels chronic inflammation and disrupts hormone balance. Studies suggest that a diet high in omega-6 fats drives prostate enlargement Targeting metabolic health helps slow or reverse BPH — Optimizing metabolic health by addressing polyunsaturated fat intake, hormonal imbalances and chronic inflammation is a more effective strategy than conventional symptom management

BUFFALO, NY — February 19, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published by Aging (Aging-US) on January 6, 2025, in Volume 17, Issue 1, titled “The profile of oxidative stress markers (arachidonic and linoleic acid derivatives) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in relation to metabolic syndrome.” A team of researchers, led by first author Weronika Ratajczak and corresponding author Olimpia Sipak from Pomeranian Medical University, examined how inflammation and metabolic health contribute to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition that causes prostate enlargement in aging men, leading to urinary problems. Their findings suggest that inflammatory-related molecules in the blood may play a key role in BPH development, especially in men with metabolic syndrome—a group of conditions including obesity, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. BPH affects millions of men as they age, making urination more difficult and sometimes painful. While age and hormonal changes are known factors, the precise causes of prostate enlargement remain unclear. This study provides new evidence that inflammation, especially lipid-derived inflammatory markers, may be a driving factor behind BPH, particularly in those with poor metabolic health. The research team analyzed blood samples from 219 men, including 144 with BPH and 75 without, measuring markers related to inflammation and oxidative stress. The results showed that men with BPH had significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory molecules such as 12S-HETE and 5-HETE while having lower levels of anti-inflammatory substances like lipoxin A4. The imbalance was even more pronounced in men with both BPH and metabolic syndrome, indicating a possible link between poor metabolic health and worsening prostate conditions​. “Furthermore, there is mounting evidence that links the onset of inflammation with the development of prostate diseases, including benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.” Metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation may not only contribute to BPH development but also exacerbate its severity. Monitoring metabolic health could play a role in reducing the risk of prostate enlargement. Future research is needed and may focus on whether anti-inflammatory treatments or lifestyle changes—such as improved diet, weight management, and exercise—could help slow the progression of BPH or reduce its symptoms​.

In Episode 216 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi discusses prostate health with Dr. Geo Espinosa. The conversation includes conditions like BPH, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. Dr. Espinosa explains the causes and management of BPH and highlights the importance of hormonal balance in maintaining prostate health. He also shares natural ways to boost testosterone levels. These include improving sleep, engaging in strength training, and using botanicals like ashwagandha and cordyceps. He emphasizes the role of minerals like zinc, magnesium, and boron in testosterone production. He also addresses the potential impact of red light therapy and cell phone use on testosterone levels, as well as the relationship between marijuana and testosterone. The doctors also cover the effects of marijuana and alcohol on testosterone levels, the importance of engagement and interaction with others, and strategies for maintaining penis health. They also delve into the causes of erectile dysfunction and the use of medications like Viagra and Cialis. The conversation then shifts to prostate cancer, including risk factors and prevention strategies. Finally, Dr. Geo shares his guiding philosophy on raising children and offers advice on leading them to healthier habits.Key Takeaways:Prostate health is influenced by factors like hormonal balance, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposures.Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men that can cause urinary symptoms.Prostatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the prostate, often associated with pelvic muscle tension and stress.Prostate cancer is a complex disease that requires individualized treatment based on the risk of progression.Optimizing testosterone levels involves improving sleep quality, engaging in strength training, and using botanicals and minerals that support hormone production.Environmental factors like xenoestrogens and lifestyle choices can impact testosterone levels and prostate health.Red light therapy and cell phone use may have potential effects on testosterone levels, but more research is needed.Marijuana use may lower testosterone levels, but the impact depends on the frequency and dosage. Marijuana use may not significantly impact testosterone and hormone levels in men, but it's important to consider the overall health effects.Engagement and interaction with others, whether through alcohol consumption or other activities, can have a positive impact on men's mental health.Maintaining penis health involves factors such as blood flow, nitric oxide production, and venous occlusion.Preventing aggressive prostate cancer involves a combination of exercise, a plant-based diet, targeted nutraceuticals, and stress management.Leading by example and spending quality time with children are key to guiding them towards healthier habits.More from Dr. Geo:Website: https://drgeo.comThe Prostate Cancer Book: Thrive - Don't Only Survivehttps://www.amazon.com/Thrive-Dont-Only-Survive-Prostate/dp/1517287820Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgeond/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drgeoespinosa/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrGeoProstatePodcastBiographical...

On this episode, we continue with the Top 200 Drugs podcast. We cover the basics of the following drugs: tizanidine, risperidone, ramipril, pravastatin, and terazosin. Tizanidine is a skeletal muscle relaxant that has drug interactions via CYP2D6 Risperidone is a 2nd generation antipsychotic. Be on the lookout for EPS, hyperprolactinemia, sedation, and metabolic syndrome. Ramipril is an antihypertensive agent that is an ACE Inhibitor. Cough and hyperkalemia are two important adverse effects. Pravastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that lowers LDL levels. It isn't as potent as other statins and I discuss this on the podcast episode. Terazosin is a non-selective alpha-blocker that may be used for BPH and hypertension.
