Renovascular hypertension is a common cause of pediatric hypertension. In the fraction of cases that are unrelated to syndromes such as neurofibromatosis, patients with a solitary stenosis on a branch of the renal artery are common and can be diagnostically challenging. Imaging techniques that perform well in the diagnosis of main renal artery stenosis may fall short when it comes to branch artery...
To identify risk factors for urologic reconstruction during surgery for endometriosis.We retrospectively identified patients in a surgical pathology database undergoing surgery for endometriosis at our institution from 2010 to 2015 and subsequently identified those patients with ureteral involvement. Patients were categorized as requiring minimal urologic surgery (eg, ureterolysis only) or more extensive...
Spontaneous bladder rupture (SBR) is a rare but life-threatening condition. Its diagnosis is challenging; symptoms might present solely as ascites during onset or with features of frank peritonitis. When SBR causes peritonitis, arterial perihepatic enhancement can be detected on a contrast computed tomography scan. SBR should be suspected when patients have acute abdominal pain and risk factors including...
To assess whether patient factors, such as age and preoperative kidney function, were associated with receipt of partial nephrectomy in a national integrated healthcare system.We identified patients treated with a radical or partial nephrectomy from 2002 to 2014 in the Veterans Health Administration. We examined associations among patient age, sex, race or ethnicity, multimorbidity, baseline kidney...
To assess life expectancy and biopsy outcomes in men undergoing prostate biopsy at an academic medical center.We analyzed men who underwent prostate biopsy at our medical center between July 2012 and June 2014. Long-term other-cause mortality risk was determined using survival tables. Indications for biopsy and biopsy outcomes were assessed, and compared among men with varying mortality risks.A total...
To asses if cystatin c-calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can reveal chronic kidney disease (CKD) not detected by creatinine-based calculations in a larger prospective cohort of children with myelomeningocele (MMC). Wheelchair-bound MMC patients frequently have low muscle mass, and assessing renal deterioration based on creatinine-based GFR is imprecise. MMC patients are also at risk for...
To describe the major imaging features, together with clinical data, of paratesticular sarcomas.A retrospective analysis was performed of available imaging and clinical data of 77 consecutive cases of paratesticular sarcoma referred to the soft tissue sarcoma center at the Royal Marsden hospital between January 2006 and January 2015.Of the total cases, 87% had been referred postoperatively, 43% of...
To assess the association of histopathological parameters in non-neoplastic renal parenchyma with the development of new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) after radical nephrectomy.Data were extracted from 222 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula was used. The study end point was development of CKD, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration...
To investigate pain intensity perception in prostate cancer survivors with pubic bone osteomyelitis with an associated urinary tract to pubic symphysis fistula before and after definitive surgical management.We performed a review of an institutional review board-approved database of prostate cancer survivors with pubic bone osteomyelitis from 2010 to 2015. Demographic and clinical data were extracted...
To elucidate the association between asymptomatic infections caused by Mycoplasma hominis and male infertility and to evaluate the role of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of this failure.A total of 165 infertile men having abnormal semen parameters (study group) as well as 165 healthy fertile men (control group) were included in this study. Semen samples were taken from all participants and, after...
We present a neonatal male with a rectopenile fistula in the setting of imperforate anus. Reported cases of fistulae exiting on the penile shaft are exceedingly rare. The patient had a diverting colostomy performed within the first 48 hours of life and imaging later revealed no communication with the urinary tract. At 4 months of age the child was brought to the operative suite for penile exploration...
