In multiple recurrent pTa or pT1 bladder tumours clearing the bladder of all except one marker tumour provides a safe and convenient way of measuring the response to intravesical therapy. No significant difference in efficacy or toxicity was detected between Evans BCG and Pasteur BCG.
The sleeve technique of resection should be more widely used. Analgesic practice could be improved with greater use of regional anaesthetics. Most urologists promote no specific care after discharge. There is probably a place for increasing the use of alternative procedures to circumcision.
Five techniques of producing temporary renal ischaemia have been evaluated in the rat. Damage was assessed by measuring inulin clearance, change in renal cortical intracellular water and 125I-fibrin deposition. Continuous renal artery occlusion produces significantly less renal damage than the other techniques commonly used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
