The Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is the smallest of all the rhino species. It is one of the rarest mammals in the world and is in imminent danger of extinction. A study was carried out on seven wild-caught females, three wild-caught males and one captive born female Sumatran rhinoceros at the Sumatran Rhinoceros Breeding Centre in Sungai Dusun, Selangor, Malaysia, beginning 19...

A rare case of seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis is reported. The role of ultrasonography and computed tomography in diagnosis and management is discussed. Congenital malformations of the seminal vesicle are most uncommon and most of them are cystic malformation. Approximately two thirds of them are associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis, since both the uretera...

The main protocol for the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) is determination level serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a digital rectal examination followed by 12-point biopsy PC under guidance transrectal ultrasonography. An isolated increase in PSA may be only reason performance. However, this led to overdiagnosis and overtreatment clinically insignificant disease (40-65% performed biopsie...

conclusions the best balance between detection rate of prostate cancer and infectious complications of biopsies achieved in twelve-core biopsy protocol. twelve-core biopsy enhances the rate of prostate cancer detection with minimum adverse effects. patients and materials transrectal ultrasonography (trus) guided biopsy was performed in 180 patients suspicious for prostate cancer due to either a...

background: estimating prostate volume using less invasive transabdominal ultrasonography (taus) instead of transrectal ultrasonography (trus) is of interest in terms of identifying their agreement level. previous reports on this subject, applied general correlation coefficient as the level of agreement. this study uses bland-altman method to quantify taus and trus agreement on estimating prost...

PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of estimating prostatic volume with digital rectal examination (DRE) by urological staffs with different experiences. Measurement of prostatic volume with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) serves as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine consecutive male patients admitted with acute urinary retention had their prostatic volume estimated with...
