Purpose: To detect morphological changes in the prostate, as depicted with MR imaging, in order to clarify the effects of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT).
Material And Methods: Twenty patients with prostatism and a prostatic volume of 30-71 cm3 underwent MR examination before, the day after, and 6 months after treatment. TUMT was carried out with a Prostatron.
Purpose: To detect possible morphologic changes in the urethra in an attempt to clarify the effects of thermotherapy (TUMT).
Material And Methods: Eighteen patients with symptomatic disturbance in micturition and a prostatic volume of 14-133 cm3 underwent voiding cystourethrogram and retrograde urethrogram before and 6 and 12 months after treatment. TUMT treatment was carried out with a Prostatron unit.
Article Synopsis
- A study measured endotoxin levels in the serum of 377 elderly individuals (average age 72) in Göteborg, Sweden, to understand health and disease in this age group.
- The mean endotoxin levels were about 6.6 pg/ml for men and 6.9 pg/ml for women, with 21.5% of participants having levels equal to or above 10 pg/ml, indicating significant variability among individuals.
- Strong correlations were found between endotoxin levels and factors like plasma triglycerides and serum protein, while high alcohol consumption was associated with increased endotoxin levels, potentially due to liver function decline.
