First Report of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Implanted InterStim Twin (model 7427T) Sacral Nerve Stimulator.

Purpose: To detect possible effects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on the function of an InterStim Twin sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) device and on patient's health. There is no authorization for MRI scans in InterStim Twin SNS at all.

Material And Methods: 10 patients with Interstim Twin sacral nerve stimulator implants underwent a singular MRI scan.

Multiple magnetic resonance imaging in patients with implanted sacral nerve stimulator.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess possible impacts of multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on the function of InterStim™ sacral neurostimulator systems (SNS; Medtronic Inc.) devices and on patient's safety.

Methods: Over the course of 17 years, a total of 16 patients required 72 MRI examinations in various parts of the body.

The Correlation of Prostate Volume and Prostate-specific Antigen Levels With Positive Bacterial Prostate Tissue Cultures.

Objective: To compare prostate volume and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels with bacterial growth in prostate tissue cultures.

Materials And Methods: Fifty male patients who underwent transurethral prostate resection were investigated prospectively. Resection chips from the prostate gland were added to brain-heart infusion medium and incubated.

Assessment of beta-adrenergic receptor blockade after isamoltane, a 5-HT1-receptor active compound, in healthy volunteers.

This study investigated the effects of isamoltane on the changes induced by cumulative doses of inhaled albuterol (salbutamol) on bronchomotor tone, skeletal muscle, circulatory system, and metabolism after single (day 1) and multiple dosing (day 7) in 15 healthy subjects. The volunteers were given placebo, 4 mg isamoltane, 10 mg isamoltane, or 20 mg propranolol over a 7-day period in a randomized, double-blind, crossover design. The greatest attenuation in albuterol-induced beta-adrenergic receptor responses occurred with propranolol.

Pharmacodynamic effects of inhaled dry powder formulations of fenoterol and colforsin in asthma.

The airway and tremor response and cardiovascular and hypokalemic effects of single doses of inhalative fenoterol dry powder capsules (0.4 mg) were compared with the fenoterol metered dose inhaler (0.4 mg) and colforsin (forskolin) dry powder capsules (10.
