UNLABELLED
The clinical utility of automated serum HER-2/neu measurements in breast cancer run on the Bayer random analyzer Immuno 1 was analyzed in several steps: [a] The reference interval was… (More)
Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is an effective diagnostic tool for detection of prostate cancer (CaP) at an early and potentially curable stage, but specificity is low. Studies have shown that… (More)
PURPOSE
Determining serum total prostate specific antigen (PSA) has proved to be a valuable diagnostic aid for detecting prostatic carcinoma, although the lack of specificity has limited its… (More)
Forty-six subfertile men with idiopathic oligospermia were randomly assigned to 6 months of treatment with a placebo, clomiphene citrate (25 or 50 mg/day), mesterolone (100 mg/day), or pentoxifylline… (More)
In this study, we investigated the immunoreactivity of the Technicon Immuno 1 PSA assay, a monoclonal-polyclonal sandwich immunoassay, with free and ACT-complexed PSA. Assay calibrators prepared with… (More)
Transcriptionally amplified DNA probes are valuable tools in the development of sensitive nucleic acid-based diagnostic assays. Here we describe a model assay using a novel oligonucleotide hairpin… (More)
We sought to determine the maternal serum levels of four tumor-associated antigens during the three trimesters of pregnancy in healthy women. CEA, CA 228, CA 15-3, and Her2/neu oncogene product p105… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most useful of all tumor markers. Although the sensitivity is impressive, low specificity results in a lack of cancer detection in a significant… (More)
PURPOSE
We provide insight into the presentation, diagnostics, treatment, and accompanying clinical difficulties and complications of an arterio-ureteral fistula and add 11 patients with… (More)
