"Alkaline" phosphatase disappears or only remains in small amounts in the rabbit and rat kidney after periods of hydronephrosis of 2 to 5 days or more, following complete obstruction of the ureter. By the use of the Gomori-Takamatsu technique it has been possible to distinguish normally functioning
OBJECTIVE
To study the role of urinary enzymes N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (NAG), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with suspected pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO).
METHODS
A total of 70 patients, 29 managed
OBJECTIVE
To delineate the phenotypic and molecular spectrum of patients with a syndromic variant of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) due to mutations in the gene encoding glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 3 (G6PC3).
METHODS
Patients with syndromic SCN were characterized for associated
OBJECTIVE
In a retrospective study we examined whether follow-up of prostate cancer (PC) patients can be managed by using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a unique tool as postulated recently.
METHODS
According to strict criteria established in the eighties, at our institution PC patients were
The tissue concentration of tubular marker enzymes were evaluated in sections of kidneys from 86 patients with various underlying diseases such as hydronephrosis, interstitial nephropathies, ischemia due to renal arterial stenosis and chronic allograft rejection. In addition, as an experimental
Renal tissue sections from 178 patients, whose kidneys were either normal or altered by various conditions such as hydronephrosis, interstitial nephropathies, chronic graft rejection, renal cancer etc., were investigated by computer-assisted histophotometry. We used enzyme histochemical and
Tissue sections of kidneys from 172 patients with various pathologic conditions, such as hydronephrosis, interstitial nephropathies, ischemia, chronic graft rejection and renal cancer, were evaluated by an image analysis technique. Structurally defined kidney alterations were monitored for
Objectives. To develop a prognostic-factors-based predictive model for invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder derived from statistical comparison of clinical characteristics.Methods. The medical records for patients with invasive urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma were reviewed.
Head and neck cancers usually spread first to the regional lymph nodes but rarely may metastasize to distant sites. Metastasis to distant lymph node groups is a rare event. Furthermore, delayed multiple metastases without local recurrence is relatively uncommon. A case of retroperitoneal metastasis
Dahl-Iwai salt-sensitive (S) and salt-resistant (R) rat strains were newly established as inbred strains. To characterize the strains, the Dahl-Iwai S and R rats were fed low-salt (0.3% NaCl) and high-salt (8.0% NaCl) diets from 5 weeks after birth, and systolic blood pressure and pathologic
BACKGROUND
Prognostic factors for patients with disseminated transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (TCC) has been examined only in patients selected for studies with chemotherapy. This study was performed to determine important prognostic factors in patients with disseminated TCC and
We report the clinical and genetic evaluation of a 2-year-old Greek female with striking phenotypic similarities to the three previously published cases of Okamoto syndrome. The main features were characteristic facies, cleft palate, generalized hypotonia, severe developmental delay, congenital
We retrospectively reviewed records of 551 patients with clinical Stage C prostatic adenocarcinoma treated with 60 to 70 Gy external beam radiation. Elective pelvic node irradiation was given to 247 patients (45%). Follow-up for all surviving patients ranged from 16 to 201 months (median, 6.5 years;
Two hundred and twenty patients with prostatic cancer were treated in our clinic during the past ten years between April, 1977 and March, 1987. The age distribution was from 45 to 91 years old and more than half of patients were in seventies. Stages A, B, C and D were 3.5%, 19.7%, 21.2% and 55.6%,
