Prostate cancer (PC) is currently the most frequently diagnosed cancer in males and constitutes a major health issue in developed countries. On the other hand, the majority of PC cases are considered clinically not significant and certainly not lethal. These discrepancies highlight the need for the early detection of especially those cases that have aggressive features and call for early an...

A radioisotopic assay is reported that 4 hr and can be run in unlimited quanaccurately measures an almost identical tity. This raclioassay should simplify diserum folate to that measured by Lactoagnosis of folate deficiency and be parbacillus casei and can separate low, ticularly useful in patients receiving borderline, and normal folate levels. This antibiotics and folate antagonists, where as...

Restoration of liver mass has been studied in five patients after right hepatic lobectomy. The operation effects an approximate 50% resection of liver substance. Postmortem observations, measurements of the weight of liver resected at operation, and the study of serial radioisotopic liver scans suggest that liver regeneration in man is initiated very soon after partial hepatectomy and is well a...

Results of complex examination and treatment 103 patients, aged 4-14, with posttraumatic heterotopic ossificates in the elbow zone are presented. Clinical, radiologic, electrophysiologic, radioisotopic, biomechanical, termovision morphologic methods were used. Depending on extent pathological process resection was performed either simple or expanded arthrolysis joint. Expanded included formatio...

INTRODUCTION Lack of efficacy of pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy in spinal pain syndrome is an indication for intervertebral stabilizer implantation between the processes in the lumbar segment of the spine. MATERIAL AND METHODS The group consisted of 32 patients qualified after radioisotopic single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) examinations with assessme...

SUMMARY Vascularity in rat Walker carcinoma 256 was studied quantitatively by a radioisotopic method. Functional intravascular volume and extravasation of plasma protein per unit of tumor mass decreased as the tumors grew. The intravascular volume that we obtained with 5 ' Cr-labeled RBC's was 0.0079 ml/g of tumor mass, which was less than 10% of the value obtained by other workers using dextra...

Regurgitation esophagitis is a constant and intractabe complication of the conventional esophagogastrostomy. A simple valvular and fundic formation was seen to abolish the distress''. No visual regurgitation was proved on the upper G.I. series as studied in 17 cases. Using a radioisotopic method, the present study was designed to demonstrate the absence of esophageal regurgitation among those p...
