Vesicoureteric Reflux Following Renal Transplantation: a Simple Method of Ureteric ImplantationWiley - Tập 53 Số 2 - Trang 111-114 - 1981
Andrew Mitterdorfer, G. Williams, J E Castro
SUMMARY— We have used a simple method of ureteroneocystostomy in renal transplant patients. This entails a no‐tunnel “drop‐in” with a long free segment protruding into the bladder lumen. The incidence of vesicoureteric reflux was investigated in 81 transplant patients who had a follow‐up period ranging from 4 months to 1 5 years (mean 3.7 years); 29 of these patients...... hiện toàn bộ

Jens Kastrup, Pelle Trier Petersen, R Bartram, Jesper Melchior Hansen
Summary— The influence of trimethoprim on renal function has been investigated in two groups of volunteers, both without a history of either acute or chronic urinary tract disease. All had normal serum creatinine. They were treated with trimethoprim 200 mg bd for 14 days. In group A (median age 78 years), serum creatinine increased significantly from median 89 to 134...... hiện toàn bộ
Basement Membranes in Urothelial CarcinomaWiley - Tập 60 Số 6 - Trang 536-542 - 1987
I.G. Conn, J Crocker, D. Michael A. Wallace, M. A. HUGHES, Christie Hilton
Summary— Invasion of a bladder tumour involves the degradation and penetration of the sub‐epithelial basement membrane. A retrospective study of 69 superficial and 15 invasive transitional cell carcinomas of bladder and a prospective study of 43 mucosal biopsies were performed in order to assess the usefulness of immunohistochemical staining of the basement membrane ...... hiện toàn bộ
Low Calcium Diet in Idiopathic Urolithiasis: A Risk Factor for Osteopenia as Great as in Primary HyperparathyroidismWiley - Tập 65 Số 6 - Trang 560-563 - 1990
Michel Fuss, Thierry Pepersack, Philip J. Bergman, T Hurard, Jonathan Simon, Jacques Corvilain
Summary— The bone mineral content of the radius was measured in 32 male renal stone formers, 18 of them presenting with idiopathic urolithiasis and 14 with primary hyperparathyroidism, a disease known to disturb bone metabolism. The idiopathic stone formers had been on regular treatment with a low calcium diet. The bone mineral content of the radius was reduced to a ...... hiện toàn bộ
Tumour Markers in Prostatic Carcinoma. A Comparison of Prostate‐specific Antigen with Acid PhosphataseWiley - Tập 60 Số 1 - Trang 69-73 - 1987
M. Ferro, I Barnes, Julian Roberts, Patrick J. Smith
Summary— A study was performed on 130 men to compare the level of serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) in controls, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and patients with prostatic carcinoma. The results showed that all 30 normal controls below 40 years of age had values less than 10 ng/ml. Of the 40 patients with BPH, all aged over 40 years, 13 (32.5%) ...... hiện toàn bộ
