Murawski IJ, Myburgh DB, Favor J, Gupta IR. Vesico-ureteric reflux and urinary tract development in the Pax2 / mouse. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 293: F1736–F1745, 2007. First published September 19, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00221.2007.—Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) is a urinary tract abnormality that affects roughly one-third of patients with renal-coloboma syndrome, an autosomal dominant cond...

On examination she was pyrexial (37.5°C) with tenderness in the right iliac fossa but no guarding or rebound tenderness; rectal examination revealed no abnormality. A provisional diagnosis of right ureteric colic seemed substantiated by finding blood in the urine; however, intravenous pyelography showed no stone or other renal pathology. Initial urine examination showed large numbers of pus cel...

Approximately 35% of children with urinary infection have vesico-ureteric reflux (McGovern, Marshall, and Paquin, 1960; Ericsson, 1960). It is not known whether infection causes the reflux by damaging the uretero-vesical valvular mechanism, or whether a congenital abnormality permits reflux which predisposes to infection. Yet whatever the aetiology, it seems logical to assume that when infectio...

Submucosal injection of Teflon for treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (the sting of O'Donnell) was used in 43 patients (66 ureters-21 bilateral cases). 14 patients were on dialysis and reflux was diagnosed at medical evaluation during pretransplantation work-up; correction of reflux was indicated as a preparation for renal transplantation. In another group of 24 patients with normal renal funct...

INTRODUCTION Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR), reflux of urine from the bladder into the ureter and towards the kidney, is an important cause of end-stage renal failure in both children and adults. Primary VUR is considered to be a result of a disruption of the normal anti-reflux mechanism of the ureterovesical junction (UVJ). VUR is common, occurring in approximately 1% to 2% of newborns in Caucas...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old man presented to dermatology with a 4 day history of an intensely itchy, linear, vesicular rash affecting the palms of both hands, on the background of recent exposure to a patient with scabies. The patient had a history of childhood eczema and asthma but no exacerbations in adulthood. Examination and microscopy revealed a vesicular rash with an absence of any b...

www.ums.ac.uk the main), a short explanation is probably in order. Sudoku is a logic puzzle centred around a square grid of 9 cells by 9, which is subdivided into 9 blocks of 3 cells by 3. Each cell contains one of the digits 1-9 (but any letter or symbol can be used, as there is no arithmetical relationship between the numbers). The fundamental rule is this: each row, each column, and each 3x3...

PURPOSE To compare the staining intensity of the upper urinary tract (UUT) urothelium among three UUT delivery methods in an in vivo porcine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A fluorescent dye solution (indigo carmine) was delivered to the UUT via three different methods: antegrade perfusion, vesico-ureteral reflux via indwelling ureteric stent and retrograde perfusion via a 5F open-ended ureteral...
