Abstract

A goniometer that measures simultaneously the angles of the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints is presented. This allows faster measurement of these angles, encouraging and simplifying accurate records of patient hand movements. The individual angles can be recorded or traced on a chart, providing a visual record.

Steam sterilizable probes for dissolved oxygen measurement. Reprinted from Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Vol. VI, Issue 4, Pages 457-468 (1964).

Steam-sterilizable membrane probes for monitoring the dissolved oxygen level in fermentors, or the oxygen content of gas streams, are described. The probes have a silver cathode, a lead anode, and an acetate buffer as an electrolyte. The membrane is Teflon. The current output of the probes in the absence of oxygen is negligible.

[Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia syndrome. 2: Interventional therapy].

The invasive treatment modalities available für BPH can be divided into interstitial therapy without removal of tissue (e.g. stents), and those involving delayed tissue ablation (thermal/coagulation procedures, e.g. laser ablation, microwave thermo-ablation, high-intensity ultrasound). The latter procedures (coagulation) more often permit a nonbloody intervention, the sphincter usually remains uninjured, and retrograde ejaculation is less frequent. A third group of options is interventional treatment, with immediate ablation of tissue (vaporization, resection), which is more invasive and associated with a higher risk of complications than the two first-mentioned groups. An advantage of these options is the avoidance of a longer-term catheterization with its associated risks. Help is provided for deciding which procedure should be used in which patient.
