The concentration of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim in human prostate gland.

Sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim concentrations were measured in 19 enucleated human prostate glands. Good concentrations of sulphamethoxazole were found after 4 days of treatment: the ratio of plasma concentration to that of prostate varied from 1-25 to 3-29. The trimethoprim concentrations were 2 to 3 times higher in the prostate than in the plasma. These high concentrations were reached very rapidly after the first dose of trimethoprim. The results are compared with date from the literature. The combination sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim should be of value in the treatment of bacterial prostatitis.

The management of abdominal wall stomata: skin protection, peristomal wound healing and support for the collecting bag. A multi-center study.

The specific properties of Stomahesive tested in 116 stomal and 20 fistulous patients render it really useful in stomatherapy where it increases the comfort of the patients: 1. it offers an excellent peristomal skin protection whatever the nature of the stoma or origin of the fistula; 2. it promotes rapid healing of skin lesions, even in ileostomy, transverse colostomy, ureterostomy and fistula patients; 3. it ensures an effective degree of impermeability; 4. it provides a large base for adhesion of the collecting bag; 5. it can be kept on for about 6 days in most cases; 6. The local tolerance is excellent (Acta chir. belg., 1977, 76, 533-537).
