Case.?Judu, a Hindoo boy, aged about six years, was admitted into the hospital on the 13th...

Reduced nocturnal bladder capacity has been suggested in the pathogenesis of nocturnal enuresis. This study was conducted to define frequency of bladder dysfunction in enuretic children and determine parameters which might predict bladder dysfunction. 60 children were enrolled. Full urodynamic study (UDS) was done in case of abnormal uroflowmetry, abnormal bladder ultrasound, daytime incontine...

PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess correlation between bladder wall mechanical properties obtained by ultrasound bladder vibrometry (UBV) and urodynamic study (UDS) measurements in a group of patients undergoing clinical UDS procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Concurrent UBV and UDS were performed on 70 patients with neurogenic bladders (56 male and 14 female). Bladder...

Urinary diversion after extirpative surgery of the bladder is done by various methods. Conduit urinary diversion is the most commonly practiced method of urinary diversion. It is relatively easy to perform and has a lower complication rate than other forms of diversion, e.g., orthotopic neobladder and continent cutaneous urinary diversion. Urolithiasis is a known and common complication of urin...

For nearly half a century, the Milling Stone Horizon has been recognized as an integral element of California culture history, but representative components have long been thought to be restricted to the southern portion of the state. Claims to the contrary by D. L. True and a few of his students for thepresence of Milling Stone Horizon manifestations further north have not been fully embraced ...

INTRODUCTION In female patients with neuropathic bladder, the urethra is closed permanently in order to avoid urine leak. Then Benchekroun hydraulic ileal valve is attached to urinary bladder, thus providing a continent stoma for performing intermittent catheterisations. CASE PRESENTATION We present a female patient with spina bifida who underwent Benchekroun continent vesicostomy in 1993. Th...

Ultrasonography is an accurate and accessible method for detecting polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inherited autosomal dominant disease, and other urinary tract diseases. The present work is a preliminary study of PKD and urinary tract abnormalities using ultrasonography in Persian and other long hair cats in Iran. This study was conducted on 83 cats including 68 Persian cats and 15 Persian...

An 11-year-old female consulted our department with complaints of urinary incontinence and pyuria. She had had a cloacal repair 7 years ago. The radiograph showed four stones in the pelvis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed two diverticula next to the urethra and several low intensity masses in one diverticulum were regarded as stones. Voiding cystourethrography showed normal urinary bladder co...
