Abstract Background With routine antenatal ultrasonography, fetal hydronephrosis is commonly diagnosed. This leads to early detection of postnatal uretero-pelvic junction obstruction which may require surgical intervention. But, there no clear consensus in the benefits operating these patients neonatal age. Methods Aim—To study functional outcome after pyeloplasty neonates with antenatally diag...

the correlation of vesicoureteral reflux (vur), urinary tract infection (uti) and renal scarring is well known. several risk factors for renal parenchymal lesions have been reported previously. we determine the incidence of renal parenchymal damage and outcome in the siblings of children with primary vur. a total of 96 siblings of patients with vur, were evaluated with direct voiding cystograph...

The uptake of cadmium in vivo into parenchymal and non-parenchymal (sinusoidal) cells of the liver was studied by a cell-separation technique. Liver parenchymal cells accumulate cadmium more readily than do non-parenchymal cells and synthesize metallothionein. It is proposed that cadmium uptake and metabolism from injected CdCl2, is restricted almost exclusively to the liver parenchymal cells.

OBJECTIVES To identify factors predicting renal recovery in patients presenting with renal failure secondary to bilateral obstructing urolithiasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from electronic records of consecutive adult patients presenting with bilateral obstructing urolithiasis between January 2007 and April 2011 were retrieved. Ultrasonography of the abdomen, and kidney, ureter, bladder (KUB...

The impact of body condition at 110 d of gestation on mammary gland development, mammary gene expression, and hormonal and metabolite status of gilts was studied. Thirty-nine gilts were equally divided into 3 groups based on their backfat thickness at the end of gestation: 1) low backfat (LBF; 12-15 mm), 2) medium backfat (MBF; 17-19 mm), or 3) high backfat (HBF; 21-26 mm). Gilts had similar BW...

OBJECTIVES Kidney transplant is the last resort in patients with end-stage renal disease. In living-kidney donors undergoing nephrectomy for transplant; however, morphologic and hemodynamic changes may occur in the remaining kidney with time. If there would be such a change, then it may alter the diagnostic utility of Doppler ultrasound in evaluating diseased conditions of the solitary kidney. ...

BACKGROUND Hydronephrosis is a common congenital condition. The detection of fetal hydronephrosis by ultrasound presents a treatment dilemma. This study aims to examine postnatal follow-up and treatment for hydronephrosis diagnosed prenatally. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 210 infants with hydronephrosis diagnosed at the Qilu Hospital (Shangdong, China) between January ...

Behçet’s ‎disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
