This measurement error will also be incorporated in the HFUPR estimation, which is based on a sequence of bladder images during the filling phase.
The long-term results were based on a mailed questionnaire addressing bladder symptoms and quality-of-life issues.
In closing, I'd like to contrast this story with the one we ran in today's paper by Larry Altman on bladder reconstruction, based on a published and presumably peer-reviewed journal article (which was covered elsewhere today as well, including a far larger spread in the Wall Street Journal).
The assumption that the kidney geometry is comparable to the approximately spherical geometry of the bladder is based on a study by Tran-Gia et al., where only a negligible difference occurred between the MIRD-based kidneys and a spherical model of similar volume [12].
Our aim was to assess the prevalence of overactive bladder symptoms, based on a representative study population and using consistent definitions and exclusions.
The slope of this relationship is, however, generally less sizeable in fish whose sound production is based on a forced response of the swim bladder by the high-speed contraction of sonic muscles.
Table 2 displays the averaged estimated absorbed doses for the OLINDA/EXM adult male and female models for ca I-MIBG and nca I-MIBG The organs that received the highest absorbed doses for both ca I-MIBG as for nca I-MIBG were the urinary bladder wall (based on a 4-h voiding interval), followed by the lower large intestine, upper large intestine, liver and myocardial wall (Table 2).
In zone A, sparse increased risks were found for multiple sites (skin, bladder, brain), however based on a very small number of cases.
The NRC estimated excess lifetime lung and bladder cancer risks based on a lifetime of exposure to arsenic in drinking water.
The standard approach for muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer treatment is based on a radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection.
