The difficulties in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis depend mainly on anatomical factors. 48 patients were investigated by cytological examination of the urine after prostatic massage. The results were compared with the issues of urethrography, uroflowmetry and bacteriology. Cytological examination was demonstrated as being the simplest and most reliable method for both diagnosis and follow-up after treatment in chronic prostatitis. Three inflammatory groups are defined and commented and a treatment is proposed.
This is a report of a new method in which the mathematical study of radioactivity changes in the bladder and kidney shows evidence of pulsating and vibratory activities. This study was done during radioisotope renogram with 99mTc DTPA. Spectral analysis of the recorded activities, taken 50 frames/sec and 1 frame every 10 sec by a scintillation camera connected to a computer, shows evidence of pulsating and vibratory activities of the kidney and the bladder. Slow pulsations with a period from 1/2 to 2 1/2 min were identified. Infrasonoric vibrations, from 2 to 25 Hz were found in the kidney, in a full bladder and during micturition.
