  1. 6. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia : a clinical and methodological evaluation

    Författare :Anders Hallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :benign prostatic hyperplasia; microwave thermotherapy; long-termfollow-up; MRI; semen; androgen.ISBN;

    Sammanfattning : Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is a relatively new type of treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate different aspects of TUMT such as catheter characteristics, morphological changes, effects on hormones and semen emission as well as to assess long-term treatment outcome.

  3. 7. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia : mechanisms of action and clinical outcome

    Författare :Marianne Brehmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :benign prostatic hyperplasia; transurethral microwave thermotherapy; clinical outcome; sham treatment; innervation; urethral sensitivity; necrosis; apoptosis; prostatic stromal cells in culture;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The therapeutic value of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a matter of debate. Aims: Evaluation of the clinical effect of TUMT and of various duration of the treatment; investigation of the kind and extent of tissue lesions induced by TUMT and of the mechanisms behind the therapeutic effect; investigation of the effect of heat on human prostate stromal cells in cell culture.

  4. 8. Molecular characterization of prostate hyperplasia in prolactin transgenic mice

    Författare :Karin Dillner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Prolactin-transgenic; mouse; prolactin; prostate hyperplasia; gene expression analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are age-related diseases, affecting a majority of elderly men in the western world, and are known to be influenced by several different hormones, including sex hormones. Although the hormone prolactin (PRL) is well known to exert trophic effects on prostate cells, its involvement in the pathophysiology is still poorly characterized. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Medical Laser-Induced Thermotherapy - Models and Applications

    Författare :Christian Sturesson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; blood perfusion; mathematical modelling; liver tumours; Atomic and molecular physics; benign prostatic hyperplasia; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Sturesson; hyperthermia; Coagulation; tissue optical properties;

    Sammanfattning : Heat has long been utilised as a therapeutic tool in medicine. Laser-induced thermotherapy aims at achieving the local destruction of lesions, relying on the conversion of the light absorbed by the tissue into heat. In interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy, light is focused into thin optical fibres, which are placed deep into the tumour mass. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Metabolism of free and complexed prostate - specific antigen and their utility for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer

    Författare :Thomas Björk; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; benign prostatic hyperplasia; alpha-1-antichymotrypsin; PSA; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; Urology; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by the prostate gland. It occurs in several molecular forms in the blood and assays have been developed to measure free PSA and PSA in complex with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT). LÄS MER
