Comparative evaluation of different methods of surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia large

This paper presents the results of different removal methods of the prostate in 122 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in larger sizes (80 ml). The perioperations data of extraperitoneoscopic, traditional simple prostatectomy (EP, TTP and RP) and TUR were analyzed. The results of blood loss, time of activation, the uses of analgesics, time of irrigation, Hb dinamic, duration of catheterization and hospital stay after the TP were worse compared to other methods. EP has long operation time however short time duration of catheterization and hospital stay, and the minimal use of analgesics make this method more feasible. TUR and RP demonstrate better results in many parameters. It was revealed that early and late postoperative complications were more common in patients after TUR – 93.2 % and traditional prostatectomy (TTP) – 65 %, compared to the RP and EP – 20.5 % and 41.9 %, respectively.</em

Language politics and practices in the Baltic states

This monograph provides an overview of the language situation in the three Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It examines the recent change in language regimes that the Baltic States have deliberately brought about since the restitution of their independence, the nature of these changes, the opposition they have engendered and the linguistic, political and social consequences of these policies, both locally and internationally. First, an overview is provided on the historical background to contextualise and present language policy issues in the Baltic. Then attempts to overturn major aspects of Soviet language policy and to re-institute the national language are highlighted. Aspects of the current language situation covered include a special focus on bilingual and multilingual language use in the Baltic multiethnic settings. Detailed attention is also paid to language provision in the diverging educational settings, as well as to methods of assessment. This is followed by a discussion of attitudes to language use, standardisation, testing, languages and language variants. In conclusion the scholarly treatment of Baltic language policy issues is examined, concluding with an evaluation of the contribution of the Baltic States to our overall understandings of language policy and its complexities
