BACKGROUND We assessed retrospectively the reference values of pelvic dimensions by 3D CT performed for non-obstetrical indications in non-pregnant multiparous women with a successful vaginal delivery. We further aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal short stature on these parameters. MATERIAL/METHODS The 3D CT pelvimetry was performed retrospectively in 203 non-pregnant women selected con...

Abstract Background Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous inflammatory condition that can affect immunosuppressed patients. The genitourinary system the most involved organ. We present case of kidney failure caused by obstructing bladder lesions, clinically suspicious for malignancy and pathologically proven to be malakoplakia. Case presentation A 70-year-old woman presented with acute injury Es...

Stretching the renal pelvic wall activates renal mechanosensory nerves by a PGE2-mediated release of substance P via activation of the cAMP-PKA pathway. Renal pelvic ANG II modulates the responsiveness of renal sensory nerves by suppressing the PGE2-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase via a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive mechanism. In SHR, activation of renal mechanosensory nerves is impai...

Introduction The performance of robot‐assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty has recently been increasing in frequency. However, patients with duplicated renal pelvises and ureters can present challenges. Case presentation A 71‐year‐old woman presented flank pain was diagnosed ureteropelvic junction obstruction an incomplete collecting system. Preoperative imaging did not reveal the details stenosis...

We conducted this animal study to demonstrate whether exposing the acetabulum in immature rabbits to extracorporeal shock waves induces bone formation in the acetabulum. Five thousand shock waves of 100 MPa each were directed, from outside, at the acetabular roof of eight immature rabbits. At each of two time points (4 and 8 weeks) after treatment, the pelvises of four rabbits were removed and ...

Deradelphous Cephalothoracopagus is a congenital anomaly which is defined as an abnormality of structure or function present at birth. Conjoined twinning has been reported in most domestic animal species. This paper describes a case of twins were born with 3.7 kg weight and crown-rump length of 54 cm. The twins had two nearly opposite fused bodies without heads that was classified as Cephalotho...

Newer arthroplasty designs claim to provide superior range of motion (ROM) and greater stability than their predecessors. However, there is no way to compare ROM of implant systems in an equivalent anatomical environment in a clinical setting. This study used computer-aided design to compare ROM after hip resurfacing, 28 mm THA, 36 mm THA, and anatomic dual mobility (ADM) THA in 3D models of 5 ...
