Introduction Prostaglandin (PG) and nitric oxide (NO) have various effects on the renal, vesical, urethral, and sympathetic nervous systems; they inhibit Na+ tubular reabsorption, inhibit antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, decrease aldosterone secretion, and cause glomerular vasodilatation, natriuresis, and diuresis [1], [2], [3]. read more European Urology - Influence of the Severity of Stress Urinary Incontinence on Quality of Life, Health Care Seeking, and Treatment: A National Cross-Sectional Survey Friday, 22 September 2006 Volume 50, Issue 4, Pages 818-825 (October 2006) Abstract - Objectives: To determine the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms in women and to evaluate the severity of these symptoms and resulting functional impairment with regard to urinary symptoms, quality of life (QoL) impairment, medical care seeking, and care facilities. read more European Urology - Determinants of Seeking of Primary Care for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: The Krimpen Study in Community-Dwelling Men Friday, 22 September 2006 Volume 50, Issue 4, Pages 811-817 (October 2006) 1.

Introduction Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has become a safe, minimally invasive procedure and represents a feasible alternative to open surgery for single, small, localized renal cell carcinoma [1], [2]. read more European Urology - Efficacy of Ablative High-Dose-per-Fraction Radiation for Implanted Human Renal Cell Cancer in a Nude Mouse Model Friday, 22 September 2006 Volume 50, Issue 4, Pages 795-800 (October 2006) Abstract - Objectives: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a new therapeutic paradigm that uses a very large dose per fraction treatments (ablative hypofractionation). We investigated the use of ablative hypofractionation in treating human renal cell carcinoma using a nude mouse model. read more European Urology - Prognostic Role of the Histologic Subtypes of Renal Cell Carcinoma after Slide Revision Friday, 22 September 2006 Volume 50, Issue 4, Pages 786-794 (October 2006) Abstract - Objectives: To evaluate concordance, using the kappa statistic, between tumour histotypes assigned at initial diagnosis and those after slide revision, and to assess the independent predictive value of reviewed tumour histotype. read more European Urology - Focal S100A4 Protein Expression Is an Independent Predictor of Development of Metastatic Disease in Cystectomized Bladder Cancer Patients Thursday, 21 September 2006 Volume 50, Issue 4, Pages 777-785 (October 2006) 1. IntroductionSubclinical spread of cancer cells, present at the time of diagnosis and definite treatment, constitutes the biggest threat to patients with seemingly localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
