Non-UK purchasers will have to pay a small fee for post and packing. For European countries the cost is £2 per monograph and for the rest of the world £3 per monograph.You can order HTA monographs from our Despatch Agents:-fax (with credit card or official purchase order) -post (with credit card or official purchase order or cheque) -phone during office hours (credit card only).Additionally the HTA website allows you either to pay securely by credit card or to print out your order and then post or fax it.

Or contact Direct Mail Works (see contact details above) by email, post, fax or phone. HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

“…After repeating the measurement at least 5 times in every patient, they concluded that ⌬RTD was a reproducible measurement because differences in the same patient were negligible. 13 Frauscher et al 7 and Strasser et al 13 found a negative correlation between rhabdosphincter contractility, as measured by ⌬RTD, and grade of stress urinary incontinence.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Two studies have shown that urethral sphincter area and circumference decrease as the grade of stress incontinence increases. 4,5 One study found that the sphincter is thinner in incontinent women than in asymptomatic women.…”

“…6 Another study found that the rhabdosphincter was thicker in continent women than in those with grade III incontinence. 7 I correlated intraurethral sonograms showing urethral sphincter morphologic characteristics with urodynamic diagnoses in stress-incontinent women. 8 The results showed that healthy subjects had thicker rhabdosphincters than did subjects with genuine stress incontinence, and subjects with genuine stress incontinence had thicker rhab-dosphincters than did subjects with intrinsic sphincter deficiency.…”
