Incomplete bladder emptying in patients with stroke: is detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia a potential cause?

Objectives: To delineate the frequency, clinical risk factors, and urodynamic mechanisms of incomplete bladder emptying (IBE) among patients with recent stroke.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Inpatient setting in the rehabilitation ward of a university hospital.

Correlation of Gleason scores between needle-core biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens in patients with prostate cancer.

Background: The histologic grade of a prostate needle-core biopsy specimen can determine whether a patient with prostate cancer is a candidate for radical prostatectomy or other treatment. Incorrect histologic grading can result in inappropriate treatment and possible liability. Thus, we conducted this study to determine the histologic-grading accuracy of prostate cancer needle-core biopsy specimens.
