real time during the scan, and thus leading to the clear manifestation of the flow as well as the resistance of the fistula. Ureterovaginal Ureterovaginal fistulas can be detected by means of transvaginal ultrasound, as the distal third of the ureter, where fistulas usually occur, can be visualized distinctly. The peristalsis can be seen and possible strictures, caused by stitches or injury, can be identified. Either 2D or low-sensitivity Doppler can be used in order

Vesicoureteral reflex can also be a result from multiple infections occurring primarily in younger years. Patho: Vesicoureteral reflex occurs when urine flows backwards into the ureters and potentially back into the kidneys. When this occurs, urine that could be infested with bacteria and other infections flows up to the ureters and kidneys which could irritate those structures, causing infection. When the urine is back flowing,

Your first patient this week has a problem of the genitourinary tract that has plagued him since birth. Hypospadias is a birth deficiency of the penis that generally has four characteristics: The urethral opening is located on the underneath the penis, instead of the tip, and may exit the penis anywhere along its shaft as high as the scrotum. The urethral opening is remarkably narrow. The entire foreskin may be gathered on the topside of the penis. The penis itself may also be curved to one side

Pyonephrosis Research Paper Victoria Huber University of Findlay DSMA 420 Pyonephrosis Research Paper Pyonephrosis is uncommon in adults and rare in children, and it is thought to be extremely rare in neonates. It has been reported in several neonates and adults, making it clear that the condition may develop in any age group. The true incidence of pyonephrosis with other renal infections has not been reported. However, the risk of pyonephrosis is increased in patients with upper urinary

Calcular obstruction of the ureter is one of the most frequently encountered emergency cases in the Urology practice [1,2]. The lifetime risk for stone diseases has significantly increased, reaching 10 -15% in USA with a recurrence rate reaching 50% [3]. Modern advances in the tools of diagnostic procedures, with the introduction of multi-detector CT and its wide use in the practice, changed the diagnostic approach and increased the accuracy of detecting ureteral stones including radiolucent and

involved in the maintenance of blood pressure. Kidneys, ureters and bladder are associated with renal system. The main functions of the kidney in order of importance are: Blood pressure control salt and water balance erythropoietin (a hormone) production vitamin D metabolism The function of ureters is to enter the urinary bladder at an angle to help prevent any back flow (reflux) of urine back into the ureter. The ureter connects the kidney to the urinary bladder and urine is drained

By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Ureteric Calculi Research Ureteric calculi are stones in the ureters, which are the tubes that are responsible for the drainage of urine from the kidneys to the bladder. These stones are mostly made up of calcium, but some are composed of struvite (i.e. magnesium ammonium phosphate), while a few are made of uric acid and a minority of cysteine. Inadequate fluid intake is the strongest environmental factor associated with stone formation. Also implicated in the etiopathogenesis

The Urinary System and Pre-eclampsia: The Urinary system comprises of tubes, organs, nerves, and muscles that work together to develop, store, and transport urine. The system is basically made up of two ureters, two kidneys, the urethra, two sphincter muscles, and the bladder. This system in the human body is primarily concerned with the filtering of extra fluid and substances from the bloodstream in the form of urine. While urine is used to extract extra blood corpuscles, vitamins, or mineral

non-dilated ureter. In grade 2, the urine refluxes into the renal pelvis and the calyces, without causing any dilation. In grade 3 the ureter and renal pelvis are moderately dilated and/or tortuous, but no or minimal blunting of the fornices should be observed. The dilation and tortuosity of the ureter and renal pelvis becomes more severe in grade 4, while the sharp angles of the fornices are obliterated but papillary impressions are preserved. Grade 5 describes severely dilated and tortuous ureter, pelvis

corrosive salts. Kidney stones have numerous causes and can influence any piece of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. A kidney stone may not bring about manifestations until it moves around inside your kidney or goes into your ureter. But,some side effects are Severe torment in the side and back, beneath the ribs, torment that spreads to the lower stomach area and crotch, torment that comes in waves and changes in power, torment on pee, pink, red or cocoa pee, overcast or putrid
