Transurethral microwave thermotherapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In general, while this procedure is safe, patients require a spinal, epidural, or general anesthesia and often several days of hospital stay; the potential morbidity and mortality limits the use of TURP in high-risk patients. Pharmacotherapy has been recommended as a fir...
متن کامل[Economic evaluation of treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia--transurethral resection vs thermotherapy vs laser vaporization].
OBJECTIVE Cost containment has become an important issue in medical practice because of recent bad economic conditions. We analyzed the cost of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients and cost-effective analysis was carried out comparing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). MATERIALS & ME...
متن کاملUltrafine particles in cities.
Ultrafine particles (UFPs; diameter less than 100 nm) are ubiquitous in urban air, and an acknowledged risk to human health. Globally, the major source for urban outdoor UFP concentrations is motor traffic. Ongoing trends towards urbanisation and expansion of road traffic are anticipated to further increase population exposure to UFPs. Numerous experimental studies have characterised UFPs in in...
متن کاملOrganic modification of ultrafine particles using carbon dioxide as the solvent
An organic modification of the surface of titanium dioxide particles precoated with SiO2 and Al2O3 films in a CO2 medium is performed, where CO2 of different phases is used as the solvent and a titanate coupling reagent (CH3)2CHOTi(OP(O)(OH)OP(O)(OC8H17)2)3 is the modification reagent. The results are compared with the modification carried out in a conventional organic solvent. The interaction ...
متن کاملCommentary: inflamed about ultrafine particles?
Ambient air pollution has been linked to exacerbation of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. 1 These associations have been strikingly robust and range from the observation of coronary heart disease exacerbation within hours of exposure to an increased risk of ischaemic heart disease mortality for subjects chronically exposed to elevated concentrations of ambient particles. Two main...
