conclusions the severity of pathological changes in renal parenchyma, due to upjo, is a good predictor of renal function recoverability, after pyeloplasty. the orus, with drf > 35%, usually have normal (grade i) renal biopsy and might be expected to present better functional recoverability after pyeloplasty. results this study showed a linear relationship between the severity of histological ch...

SUMMARY: Implant placement is considered to be a routine procedure for oral rehabilitation, in cases of tooth agenesia or loss (due factors such as periodontitis, trauma,caries). Dental implants’ position does not change over time due the process “osseointegration”. On contrary, teeth follow craniofacial growth (in particular, orofacial and dentoalveolar growth) move. The stomatognathic system ...

one of the complications of end-stage renal disease (esrd) is sensorineural hearing loss (snhl). despite large number of studies on adults esrd patients, there are only a few reported surveys regarding snhl in children. to determine the prevalence of snhl in children with esrd and its relationship with sex of patients, presence of hypertension, history of ototoxic drugs administration and durat...

Introduction: The selection of   optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...

Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...

renal vein thrombosis (rvt) is the most frequent vascular abnormality in newborns, but rarely seen in adults. rvt is an acute problem, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches should be done immediately. surgical thrombectomy is not a rational approach and the treatment of choice is conservative management and thrombolytic therapy. we present a 45 years old male patient with chronic renal vein...
