Biological context of Urology

• This month in investigative urology. L-arginine and penile erection [17].

Anatomical context of Urology

• METHODS: From 1989 to 2002, data were collected from 2264 patients complaining of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) who visited the Department of Urology of the University Medical Centre Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Baseline PV and serum PSA was determined using standard techniques [22].
• MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six patients who were seen in our general urology practice in Washington, D.C., with parenteral drug abuse involving the external genitalia were studied [23].
• The aim of the study was to assess prostate cancer risk factors occurrence in the examined 193 men, aged 50-70 years, who reported to urology outpatient department at Clinical Hospital in Lublin, measure the PSA level in blood serum and examine the correlation between them [24].

Associations of Urology with chemical compounds

• The holmium (Ho):YAG laser, which has cutting and coagulating properties, has been demonstrated to have many applications in urology [25].
• CONCLUSIONS: Oxybutynin, a commonly used pharmacological agent in pediatric urology, was not associated with cognitive impairment following treatment [26].

• CONCLUSIONS: Gentamicin remains a valuable drug in urology [29].

Gene context of Urology
