Abstract Advanced carcinoma prostate (CaP) commonly presents as bilateral ureteric obstruction. The management often requires androgen ablation along with temporary urinary diversion (percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteric catheterization) which is not infrequently associated with complications. Two patients of hormone-naïve CaP presented to our emergency department with oliguric renal failure due to bilateral ureteric obstruction and were treated with dialysis, ketoconazole (for androgen ablation) and corticosteroids; urinary diversion was not feasible in either at the time of presentation. Brisk diuresis occurred within 48 hours obviating the need of urinary diversion. Follow-up of these cases is presented and justification More >

Abstract Epidemiological studies in human beings and experimental studies in laboratory animals suggest that milk and dairy products can inhibit effects on the development of some kinds of tumors. Cow milk contains sphingomyelin, butyric acid, conjugated linoleic acid, calcium, vitamin A, carotene and vitamin D. All of these components are known to inhibit the process of carcinogenesis. Our objective was to determine the effect of cow milk and water buffalo milk on the development of colon neoplasias in an experimental model of carcinogenesis in rats induced with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). Three-month-old Wistar male rats with an average… More >

Abstract Based on the perturbation method, for flexural wave in cased hole in anisotropic formation, the alteration in the phase velocity caused by the differences in elastic constants between anisotropic formation of interest and a reference, or unperturbed isotropic formation is obtained. Assuming the cased hole is well bonded, the Thomson-Haskell transfer matrix method is applied to calculate the dispersion relation of flexural wave in cased hole in unperturbed isotropic formation. Both the cases of a fast and slow formation are considered where the symmetry axis of a transversely isotropic (TI) formation makes an angle with… More >

Abstract Pinus maximartinezii (Rzedowski) is an endemic endangered species, confined to a single population of approximately 2000 to 2500 mature trees. It covers about 400 ha in southern Zacatecas, Mexico. The success of tissue culture techniques for germplasm preservation depends on regeneration of cultures. The objective of this study was to achieve an in vitro proliferation protocol using organogenesis technique for Pinus maximartinezii. Mature seeds were surface sterilized in 6% H2O2 v/v. Isolated cotyledons and zygotic embryos were cultured on shoot induction media. DCR and GD media were supplemented with 0.3 and 0.5 mgl-1 BAP; 0.01 mgl-1 ANA and More >

Abstract We report the case of a neonate who underwent bladder exstrophy repair on the second day of life. Bilateral ureteral stents were placed intraoperatively. Postoperatively azotemia developed secondary to kinking of the proximal ureter bilaterally. Issues in diagnosis and management are discussed. More >

Abstract Objective: The Proscar Long-Term Efficacy and Safety Study (PLESS) and the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms (MTOPS) study provide new evidence regarding the benefits of finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of this study was to utilize data from the PLESS and MTOPS studies to assess the cost-utility of finasteride and finasteride in combination with doxazosin, compared to doxazosin alone in men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms.
Methods: A semi-Markov decision analytic model was constructed to estimate the clinical consequences, costs and cost-utility of doxazosin, finasteride, and combination therapy. Analyses were… More >
