Abstract
We describe and conduct a pilot test of a multiplex sequencing strategy suitable for achieving total reads of > 300 bases per extracted DNA molecule on the IGA. Results show that all proposed primers produce products of the expected size and that correct sequences can be obtained, with all propo...

Abstract
The epidemiology of trauma to genitourinary (GU) organs following Road Traffic Collisions (RTC) is not well-studied, especially in the Middle East.
The data of the RTC Injury Registry in Al-Ain City were collected prospectively from April 2006-October 2007.
Of the 1,008 patients in the registry, the...

Abstract
The role of the general internist in the care of breast cancer survivors is increasing as the number of women living with breast cancer continues to rise. Most breast cancers occurring in women older than 50 years are estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive, and adjuvant endocrine t...

Abstract
We analyzed Klf4 expression in different mouse tissues using northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Focusing on the male and female reproductive tract, we showed for the first time that KLF4 is expressed in the epithelia of the murine uterus and the vagina. In the male reproductive tract,...

Abstract
The secreted SLIT glycoproteins and their Roundabout (ROBO) receptors were originally identified as important axon guidance molecules. They function as a repulsive cue with an evolutionarily conserved role in preventing axons from migrating to inappropriate locations during the assembly of the nervo...

Abstract
Visceral pain models are used to study afferent nerve traffic during noxious stimulation at the level of the visceral organ. This chapter provides details on several in vitro and in vivo models of organs in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract that use electrophysiological recordings of affe...

Abstract
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have the ability to provide mixed functional estrogen receptor (ER) agonist or antagonist activity, depending on the target tissue. Tamoxifen, the first SERM available for clinical use, is regarded as a highly effective agent for the prevention and trea...

There was a total of 61 injuries in 50 patients. Road traffic accidents was the commonest cause of GUI (58%) followed by straddle injuries (18%) and iatrogenic causes (12%) and miscellaneous (12%). The male- female ratio was 6:1. The urethral was also the most commonly injured organ (60.6%), followe...

Abstract
Normal morphogenesis of the kidney, ureteral bud differentiation, ureteropelvic junction formation, and bladder and trigone development are regulated by complex epithelial-mesenchymal signaling events. Failure of these signaling events to occur at specified times results in developmental anomalies....

In the metanephric kidney (metanephros), the renal tubule was selectively positive for HNF-1beta. HNF-1beta expression was detected in mesonephric (wolffian) duct derivatives, including the efferent duct or epididymis, in fetuses at the 12th, 21st and 22nd gestational weeks, but not detected in the...

Abstract
We studied the ontogeny and regulation of AMH in the tammar wallaby testis and related it to the expression of the androgen receptor in Sertoli cells. Testicular AMH expression was high between days 10-30 post partum, then fell to basal levels by day 60 and remained low until day 90, the oldest age...

We conclude that the timing of 5alpha-reductase expression in the testes of the grey short-tailed possum resembles that of rodents and the brushtail possum rather than that of the tammar wallaby and that dihydrotestosterone is probably the intracellular androgen responsible for virilisation of the u...

Abstract
We report the generation of a Hoxa11eGFP targeted knock-in allele in mice in which eGFP replaces the first coding exon of Hoxa11 as an in-frame fusion. This allele closely recapitulates the reported mRNA expression patterns for Hoxa11. Hoxa11eGFP can be visualized in the tail, neural tube, limbs, ki...

Abstract
While most genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics achieve a high uptake for testing HIV in new patients, they may still miss testing those at highest risk. Point-of-care testing (POCT) and salivary samples are acceptable and feasible but have not yet been shown to increase uptake among high-risk patien...

Acute toxicity in definitive versus postprostatectomy image-guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Abstract
A dose-response function for acute GI toxicity was elicited. The acute GI Grade 2 or greater toxicity was lower in the definitive RT group than in the postoperative RT group (25% vs. 41%, p <0.05). Acute GU Grade 2 or greater toxicity was comparable between the two groups. No grade 3 or greater comp...
