hypertrophy/fever

Local deep microwave hyperthermia has been introduced recently for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). We report the results of treatment in 114 patients divided into 2 groups. The first group included 83 patients with severe obstructive symptoms. Although some improvement was found

Local hyperthermia of the prostate was used to treat 72 patients who had an indwelling catheter because of urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy. One month after completion of treatment 50% of patients were able to dispense with the catheter and 1 year later 40% remained

We investigated the hypothesis that repetitive hyperthermia (RHT) attenuates the progression of cardiac hypertrophy and delays the transition from hypertensive cardiomyopathy to heart failure in Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) hypertensive rats. Six-week-old DS rats were divided into the following five

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of microwave hyperthermia in benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) to sham treatment. METHODS The trial included 96 patients with proven symptomatic bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) caused by BPH. Patients underwent a full subjective and objective assessment (including

The authors have used local hyperthermia in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The "Promeditech" device consists of a computer-controlled microwave hyperthermia system which warms up the prostate through a probe inserted into the rectum. Forty-three patients aged from 57 to 81

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue within some segments of the interatrial septum. Only one published case so far describes fever as a presenting feature of LHIS. On the other hand, systemic symptoms including anemia

A 71-year old Turkish man with fever, night sweats and generalized lymphadenopathy was diagnosed as having multicentric Castleman's disease. This is a rare and often fatal cause of lymph node enlargement and fever. Histological investigation confirms the diagnosis, but the morphological features

Breast augmentation with autologous fat transfer has been widely practiced. However, this procedure is not exempt from complications even after technique refinement. This article aims to describe a case of long-lasting high fever, axillary node enlargement, and upper extremity dysfunction caused by

OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate whether enlargement of the spleen on CT in a post-partum female with fever is a common phenomenon. METHODS In this retrospective institutional review board-approved study, the spleen was measured by CT in 77 females (average age 30.7 years) examined for post-partum

The Prostathermer (TM), a system designed to deliver hyperthermic treatment to the prostate gland, was used to treat six patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and urinary retention. The 99-D model consists of a microwave generator operating at 915 MHz, an applicator with a built-in water

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral tick-borne illness. Although its etiopathogenesis is not clearly understood, it is known to be a Nairovirus. We aimed to examine the viral effects of intense systemic inflammation and vascular damage on the pulmonary vascular beds and lung tissues. A

From November 1987, 250 patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent transrectal prostatic hyperthermia. Forty-six patients had an indwelling catheter while 204 patients were obstructed but could still void spontaneously. Hyperthermia was administered in 5 or 10 sixty-minute

We selected 50 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia to be treated with hyperthermia at 44.5 degrees C. The treatment was performed with Thermex II. We excluded from this study all patients with a suspicion of prostatic adenocarcinoma or other previous surgical intervention on the prostate and
