Hanging Bladder calculi Secondary to Misplaced Surgical Suture

Bladder calculi, a rare condition in the pediatric population, occur most commonly as a result of either migration from the kidney or urinary stasis in the bladder. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) secondary to bladder calculi formation on the sutures from a previous herniorrhaphy.A 3-year-old boy with previous history of herniorrhaphy present...

Prosthetic aortic valve stenosis secondary to non-optimal surgical suture.

Reconsideration of echocardiographic standards for mitral valve prolapse: lack of association between leaflet displacement isolated to the apical four chamber view and independent echo-cardiographic evidence of abnormality. The effects of mitral annuloplasty rings on mitral valve complex 3D geometry during acute left ven-tricular ischemia. A et al. Reoperation for failure of mitral valve repair...

A vesicocutaneous fistula secondary to bladder calculi in a patient with spina bifida

We present a rare case of a vesicocutaneous fistula secondary to two large bladder calculi in a patient with spina bifida. A 62 year old lady presented with swelling of her right thigh and a calcified mass protruding through the subcutaneous tissues of her right groin. Urine was seen to be draining from around the area and plain radiographs and a computed topography (CT) scan confirmed the pres...

Bladder calcification secondary to ketamine.

New bactericidal surgical suture coating.

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a new antimicrobial suture coating. An amphiphilic polymer, poly[(aminoethyl methacrylate)-co-(butyl methacrylate)] (PAMBM), inspired by antimicrobial peptides, was bactericidal against S. aureus in time-kill experiments. PAMBM was then evaluated in a variety of polymer blends using the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) method and showed excellent...
