Die Rolle des Freibergerpferdes im Pferdemarkt Schweiz
Das Freiberger Pferd hat wie viele andere vergleichbare lokale, ursprüngliche europäische Pferderassen mit rückläufigen Bestandes- und Geburtenzahlen sowie einer fehlenden Rentabilität auf Stufe Produktion zu kämpfen. Agroscope,
Schweizer Nationalgestüt SNG, untersuchte im Zuge der Erarbeitung eines Strategierapportes zur Erhaltung der Freibergerrasse die Marktkonformität
des Freibergerpferdes (FM: franches-montagnes) mittels einer Umfrage bei Pferdeeigentümern sowie ergänzenden Experteninterviews. Die Ergebnisse lassen den Schluss zu, dass bei einer Mehrheit der befragten Pferdeeigentümer
die persönlichen Erwartungen an ein Pferd mit der Beurteilung der Qualitäten und der generellen Wahrnehmung des Freibergerpferdes deckungsgleich sind. Daraus lässt sich ableiten, dass der FM über Qualitäten verfügt, die im
Grundsatz im Freizeitpferdemarkt nachgefragt werden (einfacher Charakter, Polyvalenz, Robustheit, Gesundheit). Das Image des Markenbildes FM ist bei den nicht FM-Besitzern deutlich weniger positiv als bei den FM-Besitzern. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage sowie der Experteninterviews zeigten, dass vor allem Anstrengungen zur Verbesserung der Vermarktung und des Images notwendig sind, um einen besseren Absatz von Freibergerpferden zu gewährleisten und damit auch langfristig einen Anstieg der Geburten zu erreichen
Transrectal ultrasound in the diagnosis and staging of prostatic carcinoma
In this retrospective study we try to evaluate the benefit of transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate in the diagnostic, the screening and the preoperative staging of prostatic carcinoma. Five hundred and sixty-six patients with histologically proved prostatic carcinoma were evaluated. For the diagnosis, our specificity was 80%. The specificity of preoperative staging was 85% concerning the extraprostatic extension of the tumor. The screening seems to be of poor interest.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia: Influence of clinical and pathological data on the detection of prostate cancer
Purpose: We attempted to characterize patients diagnosed with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without concurrent cancer on biopsy who had prostate cancer on subsequent biopsy. Materials and Methods: The records of 93 patients with low and high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without concurrent cancer on initial biopsy were analyzed. The relationships among prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia grades, patient age, digital rectal examination, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), transrectal ultrasound appearance and final pathological results were investigated. Results: Subsequent carcinoma was found on repeat biopsy in 13.3% of patients with low grade and 47.9% with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (p <0.001). In the former group digital rectal examination, patient age, serum PSA and transrectal ultrasound were not predictive of cancer. Transrectal ultrasound appearance, digital rectal examination and serum PSA were statistically different between high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia with and without subsequent cancer (p <0.001, p = 0.008 and p = 0.016, respectively, univariate analysis). On multivariate analysis of patients with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia only digital rectal examination and PSA were predictive of subsequent carcinoma. Conclusions: High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia is a strong predictor of subsequent cancer, especially in men with abnormal digital rectal examination and elevated serum PSA. Patients with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia should undergo repeat biopsy to exclude cancer. Further investigations are needed to optimize the treatment of patients with low grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Transitional cell papillary carcinoma of the bladder in a child
We report a rare case of transitional cell papillary carcinoma of the bladder in a 10-year-old girl who had hematuria. The tumor was diagnosed and assessed through VCUG and ultrasound. The tumor protruded into the urethra during micturition and its mobility was observed by both diagnostic procedures. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Néoplasie intraépithéliale prostatique de haut grade: detection et association avec le cancer de la prostate.
Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) fulfils the majority of requirements for a premalignant change in the human prostate. Forty-eight patients were diagnosed to have high grade PIN on prostatic needle biopsy. During a follow-up period, 23 (47.9%) were found to have adenocarcinoma on subsequent biopsies. We compared the patients age, the digital examination, the transrectal ultrasound appearance (TRUS) and the serum PSA level between those in whom cancer was detected subsequently and those with PIN alone. There was a statistically significant difference in the transrectal ultrasound appearance (TRUS) and the serum PSA level between the two groups (p < 0.001, p < 0.016 respectively). In conclusion, patients with high grade PIN, elevated serum PSA with hypoechoic zone on TRUS should be rebiopsied 3 months after the initial diagnosis. If the results are negative, close follow-up is mandatory.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for urinary stone disease: Clinical experience with the electromagnetic lithotriptor Lithostar
400 urinary stone patients were treated with the electromagnetic lithotriptor Siemens 'Lithostar': 66.3% had renal stones and 33.7% had ureteral stones. Ninety percent of the treatments were performed under intravenous sedation only: 14.5% of the patients had more than one session. After 3 months more than 80% of the patients with a single stone smaller than 1.5 cm and 46% of the patients with stones larger than 2.5 cm were 'stone-free'.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
