Top-down approach for evaluation of urinary tract infection.
c a anagement of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) involves as uch controversy as management of prostate cancer. magine if there was an easily available serum or radioraphic test that could definitively determine whether a an with prostate cancer would have any local spread of he disease, and whether it would ever cause any sympoms.

متن کاملRadiographic Evaluation of Children with Febrile Urinary Tract Infection: Bottom-Up, Top-Down, or None of the Above?
The proper algorithm for the radiographic evaluation of children with febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) is hotly debated. Three studies are commonly administered: renal-bladder ultrasound (RUS), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), and dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan. However, the order in which these tests are obtained depends on the methodology followed: bottom-up or top-down. Each stra...
متن کاملThe “Top-Down” Approach to the Evaluation of Children with Febrile Urinary Tract Infection
The evaluation of children presenting with urinary tract infection (UTI) has long entailed sonography and cystography to identify all urological abnormalities that might contribute to morbidity. The identification of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been of primary concern since retrospective studies from the 1930s to 1960s established a strong association between VUR, recurrent UTI, and renal c...
متن کاملTop-Down, Bottom-Up, or Both
Operations strategy is formed via complex processes that transpire in multiple directions at multiple organizational levels. While most previous studies focus on the “macro-level” process of strategy formation from the dominant top-down perspective, this study investigates the “micro-level” process of strategy formation that governs interactions among competitive priorities, objectives, and act...
متن کاملTop - Down and / or Bottom - Up ?
To make progress in learning the underlying fundamental theory, it will be necessary to combine bottom-up phenomenology and top-down analysis — in particular, top-down is unlikely to succeed alone. Here I elaborate on the role of both, and describe obstacles that need to be overcome to help data point toward the underlying theory, as well as approaches that might help to bypass full systematic ...
