Physical information in the external urinary stream of the normal and obstructed adult male

Br J Urol. 1977 Aug;49(4):293-302. doi: 10.1111/j.1464-410x.1977.tb04140.x.

Abstract

The qualitative status of physical information contained in the stream of the male lower urinary tract is traced from the bladder to the broken-up external stream. The progression of modifications of this information is discussed and it is argued that information remains in the drops. Electro-optical measurements of the drops leads to pulses which can be analysed for various types of information content. These confirms that there is potential clinical value in some aspects of the information.
