  1. 6. Transurethral resection of the prostate: studies on efficacy, morbidity and costs

    Författare :Erik Sagen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transurethral resection of the prostate; BPH; Urinary retention; Complications; Healthcare costs; LUTS;

    Sammanfattning : Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), based on benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), are increasingly common, in ageing men. A considerable amount of men will ultimately progress with deteriorating symptoms or with the occurrence of complications secondary to obstruction of the bladder outlet, for example, urinary retention (UR).

  3. 7. Development of Feedback Microwave Thermotherapy in Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

    Författare :Sonny Schelin; Urologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi; Urology; PET; Schelin Catheter; epinephrine; local anaesthetics; microwave thermotherapy; intraprostatic blood flow; PLFT; Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia; intraprostatic temperature; CoreTherm;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate ProstaLund Feedback Treatment® (PLFT®) and the CoreTherm® device with regard to biophysics, mechanisms of action, treatment indications, additional techniques, efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Nitric oxide : a marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract

    Författare :Abolfazl Hosseini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this work is to investigate the role of Nitric oxide (NO) as a diagnostic marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract. NO exerts multiple modulating effects on inflammation and plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses. NO is formed enzymatically in vivo from Larginine by several NO synthases (NOS).

  5. 9. Surviving cystectomy due to urinary bladder cancer with maintained quality of life

    Författare :Helena Thulin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In 2008 1694 men and 626 women in Sweden were diagnosed as having bladder cancer. The character of bladder cancer is highly variable ranging from moderately serious development of superficial tumors to much more serious and life threatening tumors that can infiltrate the muscle layers in the bladder (advanced bladder cancer).

  7. 10. Characterization of Escherichia coli colonizing the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract catheters

    Författare :Xiaoda Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Commensal and pathogenic bacteria express biofilm behaviour which is thought to alter bacteria-host interactions and contribute to colonization and persistence. In the current thesis, the epidemiology of biofilm formation in gastrointestinal commensal Escherichia coli and E. coli isolated from urinary catheters is described. LÄS MER
