〔記者歐素美/台中報導〕 衛生福利部豐原醫院「泌尿診療中心暨攝護腺癌微創治療中心」今天啟用!整合7.5Fr軟式輸尿管鏡、Rezūm攝護腺水蒸氣消融術及高強度聚焦超音波治療(HIFU,海扶刀)等技術,分別提供尿路結石、良性攝護腺肥大及部分攝護腺癌患者不同治療選擇,進一步提升大山城地區泌尿專科診療能力。
豐原醫院泌尿科主任林德祺表示,7.5Fr軟式輸尿管鏡可深入腎臟及輸尿管處理結石,增加較深部位或傳統器械較難到達結石的治療彈性;Rezūm水蒸氣消融術,是利用水蒸氣熱能作用於增生的攝護腺組織,提供符合條件的良性攝護腺肥大患者微創治療選項;HIFU海扶刀則利用高強度聚焦超音波針對病灶進行局部消融,提供經完整評估後、適合局部治療的攝護腺癌患者另一種選擇,依疾病種類、嚴重程度與患者條件選擇適合的治療方式。

林德祺指出,微創治療選擇增加,不代表所有患者都適合同一種方式,真正關鍵仍是先確認病因,再選對治療,以常見的頻尿、夜尿、尿流變細、解尿不乾淨或排尿困難為例,背後可能是攝護腺肥大,也可能與膀胱功能異常、尿路結石、感染甚至腫瘤有關。
攝護腺癌則須依腫瘤分期、惡性程度、病灶位置、患者年齡及整體健康狀況,綜合評估手術、放射治療、藥物或局部治療等方式。
豐原醫院泌尿科目前共有7名醫師,專長涵蓋尿路結石、攝護腺疾病、泌尿系統腫瘤、排尿功能障礙、男性性功能及女性泌尿等領域,透過次專科分工,讓患者從常見泌尿疾病到較複雜的腫瘤治療,都能依病況接受進一步評估。
豐原醫院院長李永恒表示,大山城幅員廣,且人口逐漸高齡化,泌尿疾病診療需求持續增加,這次雙中心啟用,不只是增加設備與治療選項,更希望把從一般泌尿疾病、結石、攝護腺肥大到泌尿腫瘤的專科醫療進一步整合在地,提升民眾就醫可近性。
林德祺提醒,若出現血尿、反覆腰痛、解尿疼痛、排尿困難或排尿習慣明顯改變,不宜單純視為老化現象,應儘早接受泌尿科評估;中高齡男性若有攝護腺癌家族史或其他相關風險,也可與醫師討論攝護腺特異抗原(PSA)等適合的檢查與追蹤方式。

A 28-year-old employee of the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Irkutsk, Russia, died on October 2, raising concerns about pneumonic plague. About 200 contacts were quarantined or under medical surveillance. No plague pathogen was found in the test, only the new coronavirus and rhinovirus were detected. The World Health Organization assesses that the current global public health risk is low, but the cause of death and whether the deceased was infected with plague remain unclear.

The National Health Insurance Administration has expanded the payment of high-unit immune globulin since October 1, and has included second-generation national blood preparations made from Chinese plasma into items that can be used by patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) over the age of 2 and under 18 years old, giving eligible sick children one more treatment option, and at the same time implementing the national blood and national use policy.

Researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and other institutions in the United States analyzed 173 cancer patients who received hematopoietic cell transplantation and found that the more sweets they consumed during antibiotic treatment, the more obvious the decline in intestinal bacterial diversity. For every 100 grams of additional sweets intake, the diversity of intestinal bacteria in the feces decreased by about 24%. At the same time, enterococci (especially Enterococcus faecalis) increased. People with high sugar intake increased their risk of death after transplantation by about 12%.

Luo Yijun, director of the Department of Disease Control and Prevention, said that from October 1 to 6, 1.329 million doses of influenza vaccine were administered, an increase of 24%; 482,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered, an increase of 55%. He called on seniors over the age of 65 to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and revealed that a reward of 79 million yuan has been set up for "Left and Right New" people, who can receive 1,650 health coins after receiving two types of vaccines.
