   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; benign prostatic hyperplasia; alpha-1-antichymotrypsin; PSA; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; Urology; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi;

   Abstract : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by the prostate gland. It occurs in several molecular forms in the blood and assays have been developed to measure free PSA and PSA in complex with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT). READ MORE

5. 3. Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) in prostate cancer: Clinical and Methodological studies

   Author : Charlotte Becker; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; screening; prostate cancer; PSA; Human glandular kallikrein; hK2; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a predominantly prostate produced protein with many similarities to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Just like for PSA elevated levels of hK2 can be found in men with protate cancer. We created an assay where hK2 in serum could reliably and with negligible cross-reactivity with PSA, be measured down to 0. READ MORE

6. 4. Everyday problems in men with prostate cancer. Aspects of micturition, indwelling urinary catheter treathment and sexual life

   Abstract : The aim was to investigate the presence of everyday problems in men with prostate cancer, their relation to health-related quality of life, HRQOL, and sense of coherence, SOC, and to compare with men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH, and a sample from the general population. The aim also was to investigate what nursing care needs there were in men with prostate cancer and how these were met during an in-patient period. READ MORE

7. 5. On investigations of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to suspected bladder outlet obstruction

   Author : Tomas Knutson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LUTS; BPH; bladder outlet obstruction; overactive bladder; pressure flow studies; PGA-stents;

   Abstract : Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are caused by a variety of different diseases, including cancer in the urinary tract, overactive bladder (OB) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). In order to find the most plausible cause of the patientís LUTS, a number of different investigations have been developed. READ MORE
