Objectives: To examine, in a prospective, randomized study, the effect of different anesthetic techniques versus no anesthesia in a 10-core prostate biopsy. Reports thus far have shown a high variability in assessing the pain intensity of prostate biopsies and the effectiveness of anesthesia.
Methods: Ultrasound-guided 10-core prostate biopsy was performed.
Objectives: To investigate the urodynamic effects and tolerability of the new antimuscarinic drug tolterodine in children with detrusor hyperreflexia.
Methods: Twenty-two children (12 boys and 10 girls; age range 3 months to 15 years, mean age 5.7 years) with detrusor hyperreflexia resulting in maximum detrusor pressures exceeding 40 cm H(2)O during filling cystotonometry were enrolled to receive tolterodine tartrate (a total of 0.
The immunogenic potential of renal cell carcinoma and the resistance of its metastases against chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal treatment have led to the development of a great number and variety of different strategies, summarized under the term immunotherapy.
