background the incidence of prostatic abscess (pa) has markedly declined with the widespread use of antibiotics and the decreasing incidence of urethral gonococcal infections. objectives to evaluate different treatment methods for prostatic abscess and to describe technical points that will improve the outcome of transurethral (tur) drainage of prostatic abscess. patients and methods we perform...

The aim of this study was to analyse the outcome of trial off catheter for patients who were admitted to the Department of Urology, Singapore General Hospital (SGH) for acute retention of urine (ARU) due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). From 1 June to 15 October 1997, 150 patients were admitted for ARU. Seventy-one patients were excluded from our study due to our exclusion criteria such a...

Urinary calculi constitute one of the oldest afflictions of humans as well as animals, which are occurring globally. The calculi vary in shape, size and composition, which influence their clinical course. They are usually of the mixed-type with varying percentages of the ingredients. In medical management of urinary calculi, either the nature of calculi is to be known or the exact composition o...

Thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by AgNOR (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. Specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!TIJR) or needle biopsy of the prostate. In this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differen...

In this paper we investigate the tableau systems corresponding to hypersequent calculi. We call these systems hypertableau calculi. We define hypertableau calculi for some propositional intermediate logics. We then introduce path-hypertableau calculi which are simply defined by imposing additional structure on hypertableaux. Using pathhypertableaux we define analytic calculi for the intermediat...

We present new sequent calculi for Lewis’ logics of counterfactuals. The calculi are based on Lewis’ connective of comparative plausibility and modularly capture almost all logics of Lewis’ family. Our calculi are standard, in the sense that each connective is handled by a finite number of rules with a fixed and finite number of premises; internal, meaning that a sequent denotes a formula in th...

introduction: our aim was compare of two types of lithotripter include holmium: yag laser and pneumatic one in transurethral ureterolithotripsy (tul) for the management of ureteral calculi ≥1 cm. methods: 112 patients with ureteral calculi more than 1 cm were selected in randomized order for pneumatic or holmium: yag laser transurethral ureterolithotripsy (56 patients in each group). ultrasonog...
