Delayed Presentation of Pseudoabscess Secondary to Injection of Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated Beads Bulking Agent

Periurethral pseudoabscess secondary to injection of an intraurethral bulking agent.

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION An 85-year-old lady returned to the urology clinic for review 10 months postcystoscopically guided proximal urethral Zuidex injection for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Zuidex is a combination of dextranomer and hyaluronic acid. It is used as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical stress urinary incontinence procedures. She had urinary urgency and a tende...

Use of pyrolytic carbon coated beads (Durasphere) to treat glottic failure: an experimental study in dogs.

UNLABELLED There is no ideal tissue or substance to be injected in the vocal folds. The objective of the present study was to assess the use of Durasphere in canine vocal fold injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS in six adult dogs we injected 0.3 mL of Durasphere in the middle third of the thyroarytenoid muscle and 0.3 mL of saline solution in the contralateral vocal fold. The animals were slaugh...

Pyrolytic carbon coated black silicon

Carbon is the most well-known black material in the history of man. Throughout the centuries, carbon has been used as a black material for paintings, camouflage, and optics. Although, the techniques to make other black surfaces have evolved and become more sophisticated with time, carbon still remains one of the best black materials. Another well-known black surface is black silicon, reflecting...

Localized Aortic Root Dissection Secondary to Contrast Agent Injection: Feasibility of Conservative Follow-up With Echocardiography

Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...
