Is effect of premicturitional bladder volume on the accuracy of postvoid residual urine volume measurement by transabdominal ultrasonography : rate of bladder fullness of great importance for preventing false-positive residue diagnosis?
Postvoid residual urine volume measurements with an uncomfortably full bladder result in high false-positive postmicturitional residue values even in healthy young men. We strongly advise that V1 measurements of the bladder be performed before V2 measurements and that V2 not be measured if V1 is greater than 540 mL.
Since our last review, much effort has been made to improve CIK cell cytotoxicity and clinical effectivity. Targeted CIK cell therapy and combinations of CIK cells with antiangiogenic drugs or oncolytic viruses are examples of recent outstanding achievements in the field of adoptive CIK cell therapy. The clinical application of CIK cells in combination with conventional therapies, especially, obtained promising results. However, the best combination and the optimal therapy schedule have yet to be defined.
