Zenflow spring system for benign prostatic hyperplasia - 24 month outcomes of the ZEST pilot studies.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects more than half of men over age 50, yet current treatment options are limited to medications that cause bothersome side effects or surgical procedures, including minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) that involve piercing, cutting, or burning tissue, often leading to discomfort and recovery concerns. The Zenflow Spring System® provides a tissue-preserving alternative that offers symptom relief with quicker recovery and less procedural discomfort.

Predictors of durability of the prostatic urethral lift (PUL) for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Abstract There is a need to understand the predictors of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) durability to help physicians counsel patients and optimize outcomes. A simple logistic regression analysis was performed on a pooled dataset of 331 subjects across 5 PUL controlled studies with up to 5 years follow up.

Multiparametric‐magnetic resonance imaging (mp‐MRI) of the prostate and Urolift: Identifying artefact size, location and clinical implications
1 INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), alongside prostate cancer, is one of the most common urological conditions treated worldwide.1 Traditionally the ‘gold-standard’ technique in the surgical management of BPH has been a transurethral resection of prostate or TURP.
Discussing Industry Direction with Peter Chin
The industrial landscape is undergoing a substantial transformation as environmental concerns gain traction. In an editorial titled “Exploring Industry Changes” in the April 2024 issue of Fugitive Emissions Journal, Peter Chin, Vice President of Marketing for Emerson’s Final Control Business Unit, provides insight into the connections between new technologies, operational reliability, and environmental sustainability.

A Disgraceful Christmas
Introduction I want to ask us a question: What words do you associate with Christmas? I did that exercise with myself and this is the list of words that came to me as I thought about Christmas. It was joy, decorations, parties, presents, Santa, trees, and cards. I think it's very telling that as your senior pastor none of these answers involve Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, or the manger. It just goes to show what a worldly pastor I am. But I think these kind of resonate with a lot of us.
Hamas, Israel, and the New Lessons of Irregular Warfare
On Oct. 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its most audacious attack on Israel, catching the country by surprise. Militants poured into Israeli towns, leaving horrific carnage in their wake as a barrage of thousands of missiles complemented the land assault.

The Importance of Making Dumb Decisions
In a world that prizes logic and applauds reason, making a decision that seems downright foolish can feel like inviting disaster. But sometimes, the choices that defy common sense—the ones your friends, family and maybe even your own instincts might label “dumb”—are exactly where God shows up. Take my life, for example. A few years ago, CBS Sunday Morning featured Peace Fellowship Church, where I serve as interim pastor.
Here Is the Church, Here Is the Steeple - Where Is the Pastor?
CERTAINTY IS A rare thing in the age of the coronavirus. But there is one thing that we can know for sure: There will be fewer pastors after the pandemic than there were before it. For me, the realization started with reports from friends and colleagues, all gifted and committed pastors, sharing their decision not only to step down from their church but from ministry altogether. This is not an uncommon reality, but the number of reports caught my attention.
Pelvic venous disorders. Embracing the new SVP classification
Abstract Syndromic terminology for pelvic venous disorders, such as May-Thurner, nutcracker or pelvic congestion syndromes, should be abandoned and the new symptoms-varices-pathophysiology (SVP) classification embraced. This will help avoid confusion and allow clinicians to categorise these diverse patient populations into more homogeneous groups, enabling better comparisons, data analysis and treatment guidelines. Key Points The pelvic veins are interconnected with the lower limb veins.
The Church Is Losing Its Gray Heads
Robrenna Redl isn’t the kind of person many pastors would expect to stop attending church. The Lincoln, Nebraska, resident still wants to be a faithful Christian. She has a long history of involvement with church ministries. And she’s older than 40. Redl came to know Jesus in her 30s, and for the years that followed, she was a model member of a conservative nondenominational church.
Police Stole My Dignity. God Restored It.
February 21, 2019, was a typical cold winter day in Chicago. I got home from work around 6:30 p.m. and felt ready for a break after a long day of doing social work at the hospital. I took the dog out for a short walk, came back home, turned on the TV, and started changing out of my work clothes. Then I heard an excruciating noise—what sounded like a vehicle crashing into my building.
Preparing for a Big Changing Places Year
Big Changing Places year ahead This sponsored article has been written on behalf of Rise Adaptations, an adaptations company that specialises in providing modular facilities such as sensory rooms and Changing Places (external links will open in a new browser window). Changing Places toilets have become a more commonplace sight across the country and the supporting campaign is now nationally recognised.
The Most Dangerous Form of Deconstruction
This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. With all this talk of deconstruction these days, one problem is that very few people mean precisely the same thing when they use that word. For some people, deconstructing means losing their faith altogether—becoming atheists, agnostics, or spiritual-but-not-religious nones. For others, deconstructing means still believing in Jesus but struggling with how religious institutions have failed.
The Waters of Baptism Flow Toward Humanity at Its Neediest
All four Gospels tell the story of Jesus’ baptism, as if every reader needs to hear it. Jesus’ cousin John, outfitted in a garment made of camel’s hair and a rustic leather belt, has set up camp in an unmarked wilderness to preach and prophesy. Everyone comes out to listen: the pious and the profane. The bankrupt and the ruined. The broken and the eccentric. Religious misfits and spiritual castoffs. All get a dose of John’s caustic threats and stern warnings.
The Early Christian Case for Reparations
Reparations to Black Americans for centuries of slavery and oppression have been discussed for a long time. But ever since journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote “The Case for Reparations” in The Atlantic in 2014, the conversation has taken on a new urgency. Just this month a House committee voted to create a commission to consider reparations. However, debates over compensating a group of people for past injuries or abuses date back to at least the early centuries of the common era.
Don’t Diss the Early-Marrieds
Most single American adults aspire to be married. But for many now, marriage is supposed to be a capstone achievement rather than a cornerstone of young adult life. The “capstone model” says you are supposed to have all your ducks in a row—education, some professional success, and a clear adult identity—before you marry.
Black Christians Are Confronting Black Lies About Faith
When I went to college at Bowie State University in 1991, I—like many African Americans in the ’80s and ’90s—stepped into a new hotbed of identity ideologies. Many Blacks entering college at this time (historically Black colleges in particular) would be wearing some type of cultural accessory pointing out their connection to Africa, from African medallions made of leather to T-shirts depicting the continent of Africa using some African artistic pattern.
黑人基督徒正在驳斥黑人社群中关于基督教的谎言
1991年我在鲍伊州立大学（Bowie State University）上大学时，我和80年代和90年代的许多非裔美国人一样，踏入了一个新的身份意识形态的温床。 此时，许多进入大学的黑人（特别是传统黑人大学）都会佩戴某种类型的文化饰品，指出他们与非洲的渊源，这包含用来自非洲的皮革制成的徽章到使用某种非洲艺术图案描绘非洲大陆的短袖圆领运动衫。 对于黑人来说，那是一个与我们的民族和文化身份挣扎摸索的重要时期。 你会看到黑人兄弟们在学生会里出售书籍和诸如蓝尼罗河、檀香、乳香和没药等精华油。 这些摊位上摆满了资源，承诺给我们真理以填补我们黑人思想的空白，这些真理原是白人不让我们知道，以防止我们认识自己是谁。 作为一个黑人基督徒，我有时会觉得自己好像在追随压迫者的宗教。 这就像斯德哥尔摩综合症（Stockholm syndrome），意识到你原本所有认为是正确的事物其实都是错误的。 在美国，同时身为黑人以及基督徒两种身份有一种固有且持续的张力，这种紧张感深深刻在许多非裔美国人的心理中。 请看下面这些通常被称为“黑人觉醒”群体支持者的引言。 “伊斯兰教民族”（Nation of...

I’ve Reached My Breaking Point as a Pastor
A new Barna study discovered that 38 percent of pastors have given real, serious consideration to quitting the ministry in the past year. I am one of that 38 percent. Even in the best of times, pastoral ministry has always felt like a broad and heavy calling. But the events of the past few years have made it a crushing one. The presidential election. Unrest around racial injustice. A global pandemic that has taken the lives of over 800,000 Americans.
How White Rule Ended in Missions
After the horrors of the Second World War, global attitudes on race began to change as secular and religious leaders called for both civil rights and an end to white rule. While historians usually recount the civil rights movement in the United States with little reference to events in the wider world, religious and secular leaders of the period understood American civil rights as part of part of a larger campaign against global racism.
Evangelicals Have Made The Trinity a Means to an End. It’s Time to Change That.
The story of Ebenezer Scrooge, read afresh each year at Christmas, reminds us what to live for, what in life really matters. What could be worse than a life lived and nearly finished only to be full of regrets, haunted by the past? Thanks to the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge is scared sober, with still enough time to change his ways. And change he does. But it’s not just individuals who can be haunted by the past; entire movements and historical eras can be too.
The Art of Restoration Amidst Detroit's Ruined Walls
'; document.write(playerJS); } // --> In her ability to see a place for what it is and what it could be, Yvette Rock is unique among artists who in recent years have tried to capture the fall and rise of Detroit. It helps that the painter, collagist, and photographer lives there, with her husband and four children. "When I go and photograph buildings that are abandoned . . . I start thinking about who lived here and what happened," notes Rock, owner and director of Live Coal Gallery.
How To Be A Christlike Ally
As a non-black person, the death of Eric Garner was shocking and deeply troubling to me. I could barely bring myself to watch the video of his harrowing arrest, knowing that his shouts of “I can’t breathe!” would be his last. I can't believe that no one will bear any responsibility for his death, as if he had died peacefully on his bed, surrounded by his family and loved ones. That was how he should have died.
Understanding MS Progression
MS is a progressive disease from the start, regardless of how it manifests, and the biology of the disease is very complex. We believe that a better understanding of MS progression and being able to identify its underlying signs – paired with early treatment – could help tackle progression and preserve people’s day-to-day function over the long-term.

'Christmas Time Is Here'
'Christmas Time Is Here' 3 tips to present the Christmas story fresh every year. Image: Chad Madden / Unsplash Here it comes again, Christmas. In my opinion, it’s the best time of year. As a preacher of God’s Word, Christmas can be a challenging time of year for sermon development. This challenge is not because there is a lack of information to preach, but because it’s the same text we preach every Christmas.
Gum disease and dementia
Common bacteria spread toxins beyond the mouth New research findings show that bacteria associated with gum disease are able to move around the body, spreading toxins that are associated with Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis and aspiration pneumonia. The results highlight the importance of good oral hygiene, for reasons that go far beyond the classic realm of dentistry.

Piety in the #Ashtag Era
Image: Nancy Big Crow/Flickr You may remember the curious #Ashtag phenomenon from last year, where people posted pictures of themselves wearing the ashes from Ash Wednesday. #Ashtag became quite the cultural phenomenon, and was even covered by mainstream media sources that otherwise would have had no reason to devote any time to this tradition. Stirring up lively conversation about Lent is an admirable (and difficult) goal, and so for this, the #Ashtag had its uses.

Checking the 'Asian American' Box With Pride
Editor’s note: The following essay was written on the occasion of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. I often hesitate when I am asked to check the box on a form that best describes my racial background: “Asian American.” I hesitate to do so because of the laughable broadness of that term, skeptical that the continental landmass from which my parents emigrated can describe me and my experiences with any accuracy.
Advancing MS Knowledge
The definition of a good outcome for patients with MS has broadened over the past decade, with the emergence of new treatments and a better understanding of the disease. We’re not just interested in how new medicines affect relapses and disease progression. We also want to understand how they suppress more subtle disease activity in the short term, improve overall well-being, and help a person living with MS stay independent longer.
We Are More Than '21'
*Please note that the video referenced in the article is extremely violent, and should only be viewed by adults.* Last week I saw something gruesome, but then something beautiful. I forced myself to watch the execution of 21 Coptic men by ISIS members in Libya. It was one of the most nightmarish things I have ever witnessed. I did not do this because I relish violence in any way, but because I felt it was important to be reminded of what true persecution is.
Suffolk Cops Rescue Curious Canine From Cat House In Medford
A golden retriever named Buddy had to be rescued by Suffolk County Police Friday when his head got stuck in a Medford cat house, police said. The furry fella stuck his snout in the frisky feline’s “Catfish” house in the owner’s backyard, but his noggin was just too big! Yikes! Thank goodness for the quick-thinking police officers. Fifth Precinct Officers Stephen Lukas and Martin Gill, along with Sergeant Kit Gabrielsen responded to the backyard of 212 Holland Ave.
What It's Like to Be Third Culture, and Why It Matters to the Church
The premise of this blog is to introduce the “third culture” perspective to evangelicals who might be unfamiliar with the experiences of immigrants and other hyphenated Americans. To that end, I want to share my experiences growing up, some of which are included in my upcoming book, Blindsided by God.
Mentoring Mohammed: How Loving Schools Saves Souls
Mentoring Mohammed: How Loving Schools Saves Souls The story of a former pharisee turned public school champion. Jeremy Del Rio 9.13.13 "God, thank you that I'm not like my bigoted Christian friends." So prayed an unrepentant Pharisee in the months after September 11. Let's call him Jay. Jay lived then, and still does, in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, one of the fastest-growing Arab Muslim neighborhoods in the country.
Andy Crouch and Gabe Lyons Define the Common Good
The phrase "the common good" is a longstanding fixture of political rhetoric, and it may very well be coming to a church near you. But while the phrase has found a certain cachet among cosmopolitan Christians, thanks in part to NYC pastor Tim Keller's teaching that Christians should be a "counterculture for the common good," its meaning is at times vague: Who is included in the word common? And who gets to decide what is good?
