However, issues that have not yet been overcome for TURP include bleeding and absorption of irrigation fluid. Thus, novel improvement of the surgery is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bipolar plasma vaporization of the prostate (BPVP) with "button-type" electrode against standard TURP for BPH.展开更多

We investigated, by means of the techniques of symmetrizer and elaborate energy method, the Cauchy problem in R^3. Under the assumption that the initial values are close to a equilibrium solutions, we prove that the smooth solutions of this problem converge to a steady state as the time goes to the infinity. It is shown that the difference of densities of two carriers converge to the equilibrium states with the norm ||·||H^s-1, while the velocities and the electromagnetic fields converge to the equilibrium states with weaker norms than ||·||H^s-1. This phenomenon on the charge transport shows the essential difference between the unipolar Navier-Stokes-Maxwell and the bipolar Navier-Stokes-Maxwell system.展开更多
