Radical prostatectomy in the treatment of prostate cancer. The experience of the Urology Clinic of Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele Clinical Hospital.

Introduction: radical prostatectomy remains a real challenge for most of the urologists. Our study's objective is bringing into discussion the main aspects related to the technique we use, the intra and post-operatory complications, as well as the short-term analysis of the results in PC treatment using RP in the Prof. Dr.

Can we renounce performing the intravenous urography in the preoperative evaluation for ESWL treatment?

Objective: Our aim was to perform a comparative study between IVP (Intra Venous Pyelography) and Doppler US (Ultras Sound) in assessing the normal renal function. The US assessment of the normal renal function consisted in the evaluation of ureteral flux.

Materials And Methods: The group of patients consisted in 79 patients with small size urinary stones (5-12 mm).

Morphopathological and clinical diagnosis aspects of a bilateral dysembryoplasic renal tumor associated with Bourneville's tuberous sclerosis.

A 34-year old woman was admitted for bilateral flank pain, maleolary and palpebral oedema with an insidious evolution lasting for 5 years. Urogram showed a left ureteral duplicity and a right lacunary pelvic image. MRI and echography indicated the complete modification as a renal structure as well as the presence of some bilateral tumoral formations with a nonhomogenous structure, blood diffusion and adenopathy of the renal hilum.

Light scattering by blood components after supplying glucose.

Investigations were performed in order to find out whether the glucose concentration in liquids can be determined by means of light scattering. Both static light scattering and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) were used. Neither of them revealed a possibility of determination of glucose concentration in a pure glucose solution.

[Glucose determination by means of NMR spectrometry].

NMR spectroscopy could be a method for non-invasive determination of glucose concentration in the future. In this connection, 13C-NMR spectroscopy is of special interest. In vitro investigation of blood serum samples in 13C-NMR revealed significant changes in signal intensities reflecting the different glucose concentrations in these samples.
