    Keywords : Ethanol monitming; expired breath ethanol; irrigation fluid absorption; transurethral resection of the prostate; benign prostatic hyperplasia; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : During transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the irrigation fluid is often absorbed by the circulatory system and/or the region around the prostate occasionally resulting in severe signs and symptoms. Instant detection and quantification of absorption of irrigation fluid have not been possible earlier. READ MORE

    Abstract : IntroductionProstate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men in Sweden. The clinical course varies considerably, which makes it difficult to predict the prognosis in the individual case. In order to explore the early as well as the late course of the disease, large study groups and population-based cohorts are necessary. READ MORE
