Although the value of the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test as a cancer-screening instrument remains hotly contested, over the past two decades its usage has become commonplace. While most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die with rather than of the disease, widespread PSA screening has...
A single PSA test, however, is less likely to identify large numbers of clinically insignificant disease (Heijnsdijk et al, 2012). In the UK, a previously unscreened population, the pool of clinically significant disease will be larger than in a population already undergoing regular screening. ...
The first PSA test yielded what's known as a false negative result. It did not detect the handful of cells that remained after surgery and later multiplied. Now a chemist at Michigan Technological University has made a discovery that could, among other things, slash the numbers of false negat...
When a famous commentator (评论员) advised gentlemen over fifty get a PSA test, I called my doctor’s office and made a(n)___to have it done. Ten days later, I got the bad results: my prostate (前列腺) cancer was___. My doctor explained to me the various treatment___. I decid...
That’s activities explained. If Activities were all there was, this PSA would be right on the money. Android is smarter than you, written by people most likely smarter than you, and it knows more about itself than you do. It can take care of itself. ...
After the initiation, there was a drop in the value, followed by a brief plateau, and then a new increase until the end of the test. This could be explained by the fact that after the initial interfacial failure between the layers, there is a competition between the performance of the ...
The Mann–Whitney U test and the independent t-test were used for comparison of the PSA doubling-times (PSA-DTs) and the radiotracer uptake variables between the two groups of patients with and without ADT at the time of PET/CT. Detection rates, T stages, and the Gleason scores in ...
have been harassed on different occasions by men from various churches who were either distributing Bibles or asking for their handphone numbers.Said a female student, 15: 'They have approached me twice in the past two years. The first time was two years ago. They asked for my handphone nu...
The sub-optimal PSMA-PET accuracy in the early stages of the disease, especially in the case of indolent recurrence, might be explained by the limited resolution of current PET scanners, as only lesions greater than 3–4 mm can be detected adequately. Moreover, a low PSA level may reflect...
This can be explained by the positive correlation between air temperature and the saturated water vapour pressure of the air, which is negatively correlated with RH. The decrease in RH under the nets found here was associated with the higher air temperature. For example, under the pearl net, ...
