Impaired renal water handling in response to neonatally-induced partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) may be associated with altered expression of cyclooxygenase (COX). The purpose of the present study was to examine whether long-term PUUO induced ...
Prostate biopsies incur the risk of being false-negative and this risk has not yet been evaluated for 12-core prostate biopsy. We calculated the false-negative rate of 12-core prostate biopsy and determined the patient characteristics which might affect ...
