Constriction and inflammation ensued, and to put a stop to the consequent unbearable pain, lie excised the organ from its very root by his own hand. He wa...

Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is widely regarded as a cytotoxic agent whose levels must be minimized by the action of antioxidant defence enzymes. In fact, H(2)O(2) is poorly reactive in the absence of transition metal ions. Exposure of certain human tissues to H(2)O(2) may be greater than is commonly supposed: substantial amounts of H(2)O(2) can be present in beverages commonly drunk (especiall...

A case of advanced anal canal cancer with skin metastases that extended to the scrotum, penis, and lower abdomen is presented. The patient had severe pain on contact with voided urine because of skin tumors. The curved penis did not allow insertion of catheter to treat painful urination, and suprapubic cystostomy insertion was also impossible because of skin tumors. A right cutaneous ureterosto...

One hundred and twenty million people in at least 80 tropical and sub-tropical countries are infected with lymphatic filarial parasite, with one billion people being at risk of the disease. The laboratory diagnosis of filariasis is conventionally made by d...

It has been recommended that routine microbiological processing of urine specimens include quantitative plating onto blood agar medium along with a selective and differential agar such as MacConkey agar for gram-negative organisms. Few data have been published to justify this combination. To evaluate the validity of this recommendation 2,553 midstream, clean-voided urine samples were quantitati...

Urinary cells obtained from voided urine specimens of 46 patients with urothelial carcinomas (UCs) and 10 normal individuals were analyzed with 3 different centromeric fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes. The overall sensitivity of cytology was 48.9% compared to 95.7%with the FISH technique. The minimum values were found for stage Ta and grade 1 (90.5 and 89.4) and sensitivity of F...

Leukocyturia is associated with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (GN), interstitial nephritis, and renal allograft rejection. In addition, prominent infiltration of T cells and macrophages is commonly observed in the renal tissues of patients with GN, accompanied by cellular crescent formation and/or interstitial cell infiltration. Because these infiltrating T cells were thought to participate...

The optimal evaluation of patients suspected of having a pheochromocytoma remains controversial. The availability of large numbers of hormone assays and the need to exclude with certainty a potentially lethal disorder with an unpredictable course have led to various approaches to biochemical testing. The quantification of the urinary excretion rate of catecholamine and catecholamine metabolites...
