Notes: Abstract The purpose of this study is to assess the positive and negative predictive accuracy of the Stress-Cath® (Continental Pharmaceuticals, UK) as compared to single channel cystometry and a standing cough stress test in the diagnosis of genuine stress incontinence. Twenty-eight women were evaluated for incontinence by single-channel cystometry and a standing cough stress test at cystometric capacity. These same 28 women also underwent a modified fluid bridge test, using a device known as Stress-Cath®. This catheter is able to detect urine in the proximal urethra. The data demonstrated that the Stress-Cath® was 81.3% sensitive and 83.3% specific for the diagnosis of genuine stress incontinence as determined by the simplified urodynamic evaluation. The Stress-Cath® had a positive predictive rate of 86.6% and a negative predictive rate of 76.9%. Its false positive rate was 16.7% and false-negative rate was 18.7%. The Stress-Cath® is relatively insensitive in diagnosing genuine stress incontinence.

Notes: The incorporation of labelled thymidine (dT) and iododeoxy-uridine (IdU) into DNA was studied with tissue culture cells and with normal mouse cells in vitro. The rates of incorporation and the ratio dT/IdU incorporation both varied from one type of cell to another and from one suspending medium to another.Despite the known complexity of the regulation of DNA synthesis, the data for incorporation of exogenous dT and IdU could be fitted reasonably well by a model for single-step enzymic process. Deviations from the theoretical predictions were minimal in the presence of fluorodeoxyuridine.
