Ritual Circumcision (Umkhwetha) amongst the Xhosa of the CiskeiWiley - Tập 66 Số 3 - Trang 318-321 - 1990
I P Crowley, Ken Kesner
Summary— The Umkhwetha is an ancient custom of ritual circumcision still
practised by the Xhosa people of Southern Africa. In 45 consecutive youths who
required hospital admission the mortality rate was 9%. The complications seen
over the years are reviewed and their management discussed.
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 had recurrent urinary
tract in... hiện toàn bộ
Overexpression of p53 protein and its significance for recurrent progressive bladder tumoursWiley - Tập 77 Số 5 - Trang 659-666 - 1996
Mark A. Underwood, Jeanette Reeves, Gjanje Smith, Dusty Gardiner, Rodney J. Scott, J. M. Bartlett, T Cooke
Objective To determine the prognostic value of the overexpression of p53 protein
as determined by immunohistochemistry in recurrent progressive transitional cell
carcinomas of the bladder. Patients and methods A total of 222 tumours from 86
patients with recurrent disease, 20 from patients with no evidence of recurrence
after resection of initial tumour and 11 normal bladder (controls) were

The Effect of Trimethoprim on Serum CreatinineWiley - Tập 57 Số 3 - Trang 265-268 - 1985
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 μmol/l (P < 0.01)
during the f... 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 components, type IV
collagen an... 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 similar level in both
groups of... 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%) had raised levels
above 10 ng/m... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of Stilboestrol and Testosterone on the Incorporation of 75Selenomethionine by Prostatic Carcinoma CellsWiley - Tập 62 Số 2 - Trang 166-172 - 1988
M. Ferro, D Heinemann, Patrick J. Smith, M O Symes
Summary— Controversy still exists as to whether oestrogens exert a direct effect
on the prostatic cell. Incorporation of 75Selenomethionine (SeM) was used as a
measure of protein synthesis by prostatic carcinoma cells in vitro to
investigate the action of hormones on prostatic carcinoma cells in tissue
culture.Stilboestrol (DES) and stilboestrol diphosphate (Honvan) inhibited
protein synthesis in ... hiện toàn bộ
