New substance that improves the photodetection of bladder cancer gains European Market approval
A team of researchers in Switzerland has initiated and contributed to the development of substance that will vastly improve the early detection and treatment of bladder cancer. Patients screened using this new substance are more likely to be correctly diagnosed, and the low recurrence rates associated with its use will lead to improved patient... view more... (2005-03-02)
New study suggests mechanism of action for botox in the treatment of enlarged prostate
Botox appears to alter specific cellular processes that contribute to prostate enlargement according to new study results presented by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan at the International Continence Society annual meeting in Montreal. view more (2005-09-01)
An Antimicrobial Solution For Blocked Urinary Catheters? (p 1435)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose a new method for inflating urinary catheters-which could avoid common problems of encrustration and blockage of the catheter. Urinary catheters are usually inflated with water, but this often results in bacterial build-up leading to catheter encrustration and blockage. David... view more... (2003-04-23)
Early stage colon cancer characterized by inactivation of gatekeeper gene
The absence or inactivation of the RUNX3 gatekeeper gene paves the way for the growth and development of colon cancer, Singapore scientists report in the Sept. issue of the journal Cancer Cell. Previous studies have shown that RUNX3 plays a role in gastric, breast, lung and bladder cancers. view more (2008-09-10)
Why bladder cancer is deadlier for some
Bladder cancer is much more likely to be deadly for women and African-Americans, but the reasons long believed to explain the phenomenon account for only part of the differences for such patients compared to their white and male counterparts. view more (2009-01-09)
'Coaching' in labor makes little difference, UT Southwestern researchers say
