Pelvic fracture associated urethral injury (PFAUI) is a rare and challenging sequel of blunt pelvic trauma. Treatment of iatrogenic false urethral passage (FUP) remains as a challenge for urologists. In this case report we reviewed the iatrogenic FUP caused by wrong procedures performed in the treatment of a patient with PFAUI and the treatment of posterior urethral stricture with transperineal...

The aim of this study was to explore the clinical effect of endoscopic minimal invasive surgery on posterior urethral stricture with false passage. Twenty-one patients suffering from posterior urethral stricture with false passage were involved in the study. All the patients received pre-operative urethrography and flexible cystoscopy to make sure that the distance between the blind end of the ...

Inadvertent insertion of the intercostal tube into abdomen is not rare. It can present by different ways. In the present case an Ascaris worm crept into the intercostal drainage bag to reveal the false passage of the tube.

During the 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster, we had found a number of false information spread on Twitter, e.g., “The Cosmo Oil explosion causes toxic rain.” This paper extracts pieces of false information exhaustively from all the tweets within one week after the earthquake. Designing a set of linguistic patterns that correct false information, this paper proposes a method for d...

An 84-year-old patient had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Six months later, she was diagnosed with stenosis of the main bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography could not bridge the stenosis, so percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was used to pass through to the duodenum with a false passage (Fig. 1). Surgery confirmed the presence of the ...

Information access in meeting recordings can be assisted by meeting browsers, or can be fully automated following a question-answering (QA) approach. An information access task is defined, aiming at discriminating true vs. false parallel statements about facts in meetings. An automatic QA algorithm is applied to this task, using passage retrieval over a meeting transcript. The algorithm scores ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the value of flexible cystoscopy versus conventional urethrography (retrograde urethrography and cystourethrography) in diagnosing pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects (PFUDDs). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between May 2010 and June 2011, 120 male patients with PFUDDs were evaluated. In this study, all patients underwent conventional urethrography after admission. Flexib...
