Abstract Introduction Muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC) is a complex disease requiring aggressive management. CT of the Thorax, Abdomen and pelvis optimal form staging including urography for complete examination, according to European Association Urology. Cure unlikely in presence metastases. The aim was assess if patients were appropriately staged prior Robotically Assisted Radical Cystect...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of plain spiral computed tomographic (CT) scan with intravenous urography (IVU) in the evaluation of patients with suspected urinary calculi/obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty consecutive patients with acute signs of renal colic were prospectively examined with unenhanced spiral CT followed by an IVU within the same day....

PURPOSE To assess whether bowel preparation prior to kidney-ureter-bladder (KUB) radiography and intravenous urography (IVU) are of value in improving visualization of the urinary system. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 186 patients participated in this study. Thirty-nine patients with chronic constipation based on Rome III criteria and 147 patients with normal bowel habits were included. Al...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of treatment planning using multislice computed tomography (CT) or intravenous urography (IVU) for supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 60 patients with renal stones, all treated by supine PCNL, between March 2011 and October 2012. The patients were divided randomly into two equal groups; in group 1 30 patients ha...

Due to close anatomical proximity of female urinary and genital tract, the ureter, urinary bladder and urethra are vulnerable for injury during gynaecological surgery. In a comparative observational study we evaluated 89cases having benign and clinically high risk gynaecological conditions requiring surgery, for the incidence of urinary tract involvement and to determine whether pre-operative a...

Kathel, B. L. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 314. Radioisotope renography as a renal function test in the newborn. Isotope renography has been carried out in 32 babies with neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida or with other urological lesions. The tracings can be interpreted according to the standards applicable to renography in older children. Comparison of renography and intr...

Chelation of the rare-earth element gadolinium (Gd) with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) results in a strongly paramagnetic, stable complex that is well tolerated in animals. The strongly paramagnetic gadolinium complex reduces hydrogen-proton relaxation times even in low concentrations (less than 0.01 mmol/L). The pharmacokinetic behavior of intravenously delivered Gd-DTPA is similar...

He remained well until he was admitted in February 1978 with a one-week history of fever, myalgia, and productive cough. After persistent questioning he admitted taking co-trimoxazole. Investigations showed blood urea concentration 18-6 mmol/l (112 mg/100 ml); serum creatinine concentration 390 Mmol/l (4-25 mg/l00 ml); urine output 28 ml/h; urine osmolality 330 mosmol/kg. After biopsy peritonea...
